    With having Burke, Wilken, and Adams all kind of coming up together I wanted to look up potential platooning at first… Wilken and Adams were absolutely terrible against LHP last year as right handed hitters. Very weird. You’d think that’d be boosting their numbers rather than dragging them down.

    The Sproat write up is everything I’ve been thinking. Other teams are having these guys juice up their 4-seem (Priester), and we are gonna ditch that and make him strictly a sinker baller with a cutter instead of a slider.

    It’s probably nice he has a goal to shoot for after this. Can’t imagine I’d be as dedicated if I was just working towards sitting at a desk again.

    Theo Gillen of the Rays was drafted a pick after Braylon Payne (with Payne being a full year younger). Gillen comes in at #64 in BA's Top 100, and Payne doesn't get a single vote. Made me go back and see just what we were missing out on, and they had identical second halves of the season. Gillen: .257/.404/.327 with a 24/36 BB/K (113 ABs) Payne: .252/.379/.409 with a 24/41 BB/K (115 ABs) Lost in that is that Payne missed half the month of June and when get came back hit .383/.517/.638 in July (only one game without a hit, but 2 walks in that one). Went from 1 walk in all of June to a 13 BB / 10 K in July. Seemed like he figured it all out. Then he was hit in the back of the head on a double play on July 25th and knocked out for weeks. After that point he hit .152/.298/.261 in August (missing half the month) and .182/.217.227 in September (5 games). Really seemed like he was putting it together, only to have to torn apart. Wouldn't be surprised if those June adjustments into July was the Braylon we see this year.

    All this offseason stuff makes me feel like I’m taking crazy pills. MLB should be forcing teams to be more like the Brewers, not taking away the things that make them different.
  6. snoogans8056
    They’d get rid of the Midwest League before any warm weather place. Us building a new stadium in Carolina would imply they’d be sticking around. Though all these new rules seem intent on putting an end to what we do well, so we’ll see…. Wait til the expansion draft makes all players under 21 available.
  7. snoogans8056
    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.
  8. snoogans8056
    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.
  9. snoogans8056
    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.
  10. snoogans8056
    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’).
  11. snoogans8056
    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
  12. snoogans8056
    They don’t make it. Our list is pretty bonkers.
  13. snoogans8056
    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).
  14. snoogans8056
    Terrible news everyone. As per BA's Future Projection podcast, Money isn't pronounced money. I am crushed.
  15. snoogans8056
    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.
  16. snoogans8056
    The 3rd basemen ahead of him are all currently on the SS list.
  17. snoogans8056
    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.
  18. snoogans8056
    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.
  19. snoogans8056
    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.

    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.
  21. snoogans8056
    After that Packer game I’m clinging to literally any positive sports news I can. Thanks for these (and ARob too).
  22. snoogans8056
    Only absolute idiots would look at the current college sports landscape and be like “oh yeah sign me up for that”. Dumb, dumb, dumb.
  23. snoogans8056
    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.
  24. snoogans8056
    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?
  25. snoogans8056
    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.
