  1. Nope. Only applies to guys on the 40-man. So I believe Adams and Wilken would be potential call ups due to having to be added. I doubt we burn that option for guys we don’t have to.
  2. Sure feels like we are just piling up prospects in AAA to wait and see what happens with a potential lockout. There is a timeline where Jett, Pratt, Lara, Burke, Dinges, Made, Pena, Adamczewski, and Fischer are all still off the 40-man and playing in AAA in 2027 while the big leaguers are sitting at home. We are gonna get a player or two out of that group.
  3. Eh. We had the second most players getting votes. We have a ton of guys that didn’t start with hype and have to work their way up. Always tougher to do.
  4. BA came out with their top 100… Made doing the heavy lifting with Pena falling to the late 40s. Not a good showing for us (4 in the top 100, no mentions in ‘2026 risers’ or ‘just missed’).
  5. Shortstop has legit prospects at every level. Seeing it laid out is pretty cool. AAA - Cooper Pratt AA - Jesus Made A+ - Luis Pena A - Brady Ebel R - CJ Hughes
  6. Wouldn’t surprise me to see Rylan Mills in Carolina either. He’s way older than our usual high schoolers, and will be 20 in June (our other late round position player, CJ Hughes, won’t turn 20 until September…. of 2027).
  7. Terrible news everyone. As per BA's Future Projection podcast, Money isn't pronounced money. I am crushed.
  8. Quoting myself, but BA had another blurb about Salazar in today’s article on best players signing for under $1mil. Great D, great arm, switch hitting catcher with pop. Same as before. It’s cool that BA is high in Frontado and Salazar, while MLB Pipeline is high on Money.
  9. The 3rd basemen ahead of him are all currently on the SS list.
  10. The biggest influence on making top 100’s is the original first impression and immediate success. Outside of Made, Pena. Pratt, and Fischer it’s going to take a whole lot to really break that. Especially when we draft them so young and have their warts exposed immediately by pushing aggressively. It’s pretty nuts that this upcoming draft would be the Knoth, Pratt, Bitonti, Letson, Adamczewski, Bjorn Johnson, and Hayden Robinson class. They only just finished their sophomore seasons. Selfishly, I want Burke and Adams on one of these top 100s just for the potential draft pick. First base is going to be wide open for them when they want to take it.
  11. BA just released their top 100 bonuses. Diego Frontado (#24, about $1.5mil) was selected as 10 prospects “Trending Up”. Also “Trending Up” is Moises Salazar (#67, about $700k) who is a switch hitting catcher and maybe the top defensive one in the class (“plus-plus” arm grades). Only 4 other catchers got a higher bonus.
  12. Any trade with the Orioles should begin and end with Beavers. I’d even maybe do it straight up. Guy is 1000% a Brewer. Elite approach and plays all over the outfield. I think that’s a Yelich / Contreras type trade if we can swing it.
  13. BA had a Stuff+ article (BA Stuff+ link here) where we placed in the middle / bottom of most of the top metrics. What jumps out is that we are 1st in almost all spin related metrics, along with horizontal movement. Where we fall off is the velocity, which seems to be the biggest influence on the actual “Stuff+” number. In roughly the same week they came out with an article on production from players young for the league (BA Young Production link here). We are blowing teams out of the water here, and that’s with their specification of “young player” being a 26 year old in AAA. If you narrowed that age for being “young” down even more, I imagine that spread between us and the rest of MiLB is shocking. I’m just an idiot fan, but putting two and two together… This seems like a canary in the coal mine. Our arms are the youngest by far in the league, pitch the most innings, have crazy ball manipulation data, and have the results already going for them. Everything seems to be setting up for something huge if the velocities come around. Not sure I gave you an actual question here, Spencer, but I guess it would be “Are you taking away the same things from this data? Just how much are you buying in on what we are up to?” Sorry for being long winded. I’m avoiding all Packer stuff on the internet at the moment and this helped a little bit.
  14. After that Packer game I’m clinging to literally any positive sports news I can. Thanks for these (and ARob too).
  15. Only absolute idiots would look at the current college sports landscape and be like “oh yeah sign me up for that”. Dumb, dumb, dumb.
  16. And I would argue “Most Underrated System” is the most deserved, but you don’t want to give that to a top 5 system. We just have so much young talent hiding off our top 30’s.
  17. BA released their top 30’s for all teams today. Not sure all 45’s and 50’s are created equal… I’d take ours over everyone else’s. Especially Blake Burke when compared to someone like a Ryan Clifford from the Mets. Only one of them is pushing top 100’s. Same 40 hit tool when one is carrying a .300 career average?
  18. We have a lot of similarities to the pre-2025 Mets system (which is also top 5 at BA), except our guys are younger and at higher levels. But the breakouts for them all happened at age 21-22. Would be like if we had the entire AA group destroying A+ at the start of this coming year, and then moving up to AA rather than being at AA all last year.
  19. Prospect Handbook. I was kind of being a turd (there are 3 NL Central teams in the top 5).
  20. Slight spoiler for BA’s 2026 system grades…. We are the 3rd best system in the NL Central.
  21. What about to the Braves for JR Ritchie, their comp pick, and a throw in?
  22. Was trying to think of what the roster could possibly look like. Wildcards would be CJ Hughes or Rylan Mills. Mills is old for the class and has earned some comments that he is far ahead of where we thought. Would not be surprised to see him and Garcia sharing some C/DH time. Daniel Dickinson a college bat, hasn’t made his debut yet. Could see him starting in A, and then making room for Hughes after some time in the complex. These all seem pretty locked down: C - Kevin Garcia 1B - 2B - Juan Ortuno SS - Brady Ebel 3B - LF - CF - Handelfrey RF - Jose Anderson Past that, it seems pretty hard to place. We do have to remember that last years team was maybe historically young. Could see a lot of repeats even if they are disappointing ones (Payne, Bitonti, DiTuri, etc). Doesn’t mean their seasons were failures, just that we draft very young projects and they are going to take time. Payne for example would have been younger than about 8 first rounders from this past draft, and Bitonti is only 6 months older than Seth Hernandez who got the biggest bonus.
  23. Just seeing Letson throwing is huge. I’ve said it before, but he’s the lodestone of this whole draft system that we’ve hitched our wagon to. His success blazes the path for everyone else behind him (kind of a Chourio / Made thing). I’m pulling for him most out of any prospect we’ve got.
  24. Yeah their Brewer reasoning was strictly “Made, Pena, and Pratt probably won’t graduate” and not the reason we are all excited: literally 30+ mystery boxes in the low minors. We could very easily have a Mets 2025 type season where a Jett, Reimer, Ewing, Clifford, Benge, and Tong all blew up at age 21-22.
