    Mom, can we get a Kevin Mcgonigal? No, we have a Kevin Mcgonigal at home.

    And is now 3-3 with a walk after a 108mph single with the bases loaded. Triple short of the cycle.

    Luke Adams is just the best, 0-0 with 2 RBIs and a walk (was a 2 RBI sac fly, Adamczewski didn’t stop when reaching 3rd and scored just under the tag). Adamczewski smashes a HR to dead center in his next AB (106mph), followed by another walk for Adams (0-0 still).

    That would explain why we avoid 19 year old high schoolers like the plague.

    Looking ahead to future 40-man crunches… 2022 draft seems to only have Luke Adams as a big name left. 2023 has an absolute ton of names (Wilken, Boeve, Woodward, Birchard, Pratt, Bitonti, Letson, Adamczewski, etc) When would these guys need to be added? Is there a different timeline for college vs high school vs international?
  6. snoogans8056
    Anything we do has to have the potential lockout in 2027 in mind. 1. Not a single prospect that isn’t already on the 40-man will be added. We aren’t gonna call up Made or even Pratt / Wilken / Adams if it means they have to sit for a whole year during a lockout. No call ups. None. The minors will still play in 2027 even if the majors don’t. 2. Not fully sure how it works, but we may lose Freddy and Contreras for nothing if we don’t trade them this offseason. Freddy is a FA going into 2027, and Conteras could burn his last year before FA sitting for a year and leaving after 2027. Now might be the time to strike for full value on both.

    https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/2025-mlb-farm-system-statcast-pitching-rankings/ BA has a pay article about pitching statcast data, and our group basically grades out at the bottom of their “Stuff+” metrics. However… While we are very low on their grades, there are certain things that we are very much outliers on while being poorly rated. Fastballs? Pretty much bottom tier in everything, but then top 10 in vertical attack angle. Sliders? Ranked at the bottom, but #2 in spin. Vertical break? 27th. Horizontal break? 3rd. Curves? Terrible again, but #1 in spin and again at the top for horizontal break along with vertical attack angle. Are we just being weirdos? Maybe we get downgraded for having so many 18 year olds that haven’t quite gotten the velocity bump yet? It seems like we are doing stuff that BA doesn’t seem to agree with on their metrics while also kind of being great at stuff that they undervalue (slow velocity, spin, attack angle, horizontal break). Id love to hear what some of our more metric-centric guys around here take from the data.

    Carolina is going to be a tough rotation to crack into, and potentially Appleton down the road as well. Maybe that allows us to go after some bigtime bullpen only college arms. Use the money saved there to turn the perpetual motion machine of high school starters. I do worry about how dependent we seem to be on the DSL to supply a full roster to Carolina (bar the few high school position picks). Can’t be banking on a new Chourio every year.

    They play today at 3:30 our time. You can watch it on HERE The lineup for today looks to have Adamczewski, Dinges, and Adams all hitting in the top 4 of the lineup with O’Rae batting 9th to set the table for them.
  10. snoogans8056
    That picture of Adams dumping the cooler on O’Rea with Adamczewski in the background (all wearing Brewers jerseys) goes hard. Two home runs and 8 RBIs in the last 3 innings for those guys.
  11. snoogans8056
    The board is very slow right now, ARob, but please keep updating what’s going on in Arizona as you can. Whatever your source is is about all we got in these lean months.
  12. snoogans8056
    MLB.com updated their top 100 and maaaaybe their top 30’s? I swear ours looks a little different. Blake Burke being our #29 is insane.
  13. snoogans8056
    The current labor agreement expires in December of 2026. I think we go into this next year preparing for a 2027 lockout. My Brewers conspiracy theory is that I think our draft strategy and minor league roster composition over the past couple years has a season of missed MLB time in 2027 entirely in mind. With the goal towards having as few young guys on MLB salaries as possible while being right at the doorstep. I don't think a lot of guys are going to be called up in 2026, and I don't think anyone is going to take on contracts in the offseason leading up to a possible lockout is what I'm getting at.

    I’m just sitting here biding my time until these 100 teenage arms have velo upticks and the publications all wonder where this pitching came from. Still doesn’t seem like anyone outside of this message board sees the potential that is hidden off our top 30 lists. Fun fact: Over the last 3 drafts, we have 15% of all high school pitchers that have signed. Only 5 teams have signed more than 5 total over that time frame, we have 17.
  15. snoogans8056
    Weird one. Thought we’d give him another year in A ball. Harry Holgeen was a fun name to hear.
  16. snoogans8056
    Looks like Adams, Dinges, and Adamczewski are the prospects in the AFL. Pitchers are much less impressive. Hopefully that means everyone is in the lab for the offseason.

    These last three drafts we’ve gone absolutely nuts with young arms, and now have gotten to the point where those crowded rotations are going to be supplemented with college arms every draft. It sure seems like this coming 2026 season is when that all comes to a head. With the seeming avoidance of major injuries to Letson and Tobias, are Woodward and Episocpe the only long term injuries that should extend into next year? Any guesses as to what those Arizona, Wilson, and Wisconsin rotations will look like? Arizona (HS Draftees / DSLers): Cairone, Flores, Vucinovich, Roupe, Bentley, Holden, and an assortment of DSL arms Wilson (Possible Promotions / Repeaters / Rehabs): Meccage, Dorchies, Renz, Dubanewicz, Tobias, Carra, Mercado, Mercedes, Broughton, Robinson, Johnson, and Knoth Wisconsin (Letson / College Arms / Hernandez): Letson, Birchard, Woodward, Smith, Thompson, Morrison, Episcope, Hernandez, and Rodriguez Will be interesting to see if our draft strategy starts to reflect these crammed rotations. I personally would love to keep drafting a full high school rotation every year, but maybe go for a couple big time bullpen college arms and way more bats to ride this wave of arms.
  18. snoogans8056
    Can’t wait to see what he can do while healthy. He’s sneakily one of my favorite prospects (that I know absolutely nothing about).

    Any word on Bryce Meccage? Looks like he hasn’t pitched in a month and I don’t think I saw anything. No news is good news?
  21. snoogans8056
    My list devolved into a battle between AA and A+. Which is a more fun lineup? Lara, Pratt, Adams, Wilken, Burke? Made, Pena, Fischer, Adamczewski, Dinges? You’d think it’d be a slam dunk for the team with #1 and #2, but the power goons in AA just seems like too much fun.
  22. snoogans8056
    It also feels like the young guys are all burning out as the year goes on. Let’s just get through with no more injuries and take it into the offseason. Will be interesting to see if our draft strategy shifts a bit as we’ve got an absolute butt ton of young pitching, and not a lot of bats outside of the Dominican Complex.
  23. snoogans8056
    Slightly off topic, but did Wilson front the money for the new stadium and we just use it? Or did we have a hand in it all? I know we purchased the team back before covid happened.
  24. snoogans8056
    Also remember that BA ranks these guys on bonus money, not talent (though there’s got to be a bit of a correlation).
  25. snoogans8056
    Smashed that one. Was a change up, and this guy seems to have a good one (lots of bad swings at it).
