I hear you, I still have hope in Sal becoming a .300 hitter and think Mitchell has some 30/30 potential but both are risky and cheap enough that waiting is smart.
-
Good point, forgot Smith on my list
-
I know Bryan Hudson was sent down to get velo back and kind of reduce his innings, but is there an arbitration control component to it as well (probably some 40/28 man roster manipulation as well). It sounded like he was at 92 last night which is where he was at the start of the year. It just feels really weird that our best reliever is in AAA and has been effective (stat wise) before the demotion. -
I like Horwitz a lot as well. He is a bit small for 1st but no different than Black. He has some versitility playing some 2B and OF in the minors. He would be a great upgrade over Bauers if Black isn't a defensive 1B. If the Jays sign Vladdy long term a deal would make a lot of sense especially with Will Wagner playing well there. Black (plays OF for them) for Horwitz and a younger upside prospect (like Kendry Rojas) would be an interesting trade.

My thought was 5/10/15 and then 20-25 million after. He looks like a perennial 4-6 WAR player so my guess is that 20 would be a discount but he is probably looking like a 25-30 million a year guy when he hits the open market.

What is the order of guys that we/you all would like to extend this summer. In my opinion the list is huge but if we get some deals done now it could prolong our contention period if we pick the right guys. The numbers I am proposing are off the top of my head so any 1)Turang (6/35-40 2 team option(s)) With the superb defense and improvement at the plate, I think Turang is the least risky extension, 2)Ortiz (6/30-35 team option(s)) Basically the same as Turang, it would be nice to have a double play tandem cheap long term. 3)Frelick/Mitchell (6/30ish) Each of these are riskier with Mitchell's injuries and Sal's power but I could see each being cheaper because of that 4)Myers, Megill, Hudson other pitchers (Civale, Rae, Koenig, Hall) If any of these were cheaper like Ashby's deal I could see a pitcher extension. However all of our pitchers do have some regression risk so it is probably smarter to wait a year. I would mind something like 2/16 or 3/24 on a guy like Civale if that was an agreeable amount. 5) Contreras If it was just desire I would put William #1, however with 3 solid years in I doubt we get much of a discount and with Quero hurt it buys us another year to see what Jefferson will become. Basically put off the catcher decision 1 more year. With 3 years of control maybe a 5/70-6/90 year deal could make some sense for both sides. However my though is he will want more like 8/150 which would be tough.
-
My guess is that he will get around Hader/Diaz 6/100 million on the open market. I doubt we can pay a reliever anywhere close to that with the long term commitments we do have and some of the young guys we hope to keep.
-
Who do you think are the systems hitter and pitcher of the year. Hitter Boeve, Arienamo, Pratt, Collins, Adams, Black Pitcher Yoho, Hunt, Henderson, Misi, Kuehner Did I miss anyone? I think I would lean Arienamo and Yoho but it is hard to go against Boeve.

2024 Minor League Transaction Thread
jay87shot replied to Jim Goulart's topic in Brewers Minor League Talk
https://www.prospectslive.com/scoutingreports/sam-mcwilliams-rhp Here is a scouting report for McWilliams from 2021, seems like a nice project for the offseason for our pitching staff. Another big guy with a great arm who needs to improve control. -
Yeah, I agree. The Yankees would probably just pay one of those free agents or trade candidates for 1st before Hoskins. It would be nice to upgrade 1st and have a young athletic lineup 1-9. Hoskins isn't the worst just so streaky, maybe he can get back to form a year remove from the injury.
-
I really don't like the use of 2 defensive lineman, I get that 2 olb's are like DE's but it seems light in the pants. I don't mind throwing a bit more the 1st 2 games because it's likely we won't be able to run as much vs. the better BIG Ten teams. It would be nice to see a little more creative with the offense find ways to get Trech the ball more. When it comes down to it I don't think Van Dyke makes quick enough decision for this offense to run correctly. Hopefully Locke or maybe Mettauer is ready to take over the reigns next year becuase this year feel like last year. I still have faith in Fickell, the personal switch is huge and will take another year or two assuming we do fine recruiting and don't lose to many transfers. I still wish we could get Jim Leohard (broncos dbacks coach) back for the defense, I don't have alot of faith in that.

Playoffs baby

I like the idea of him being a multi-inning guy in the bullpen, maybe plan on him pitching a couple innings when Woody starts for the first month or so and then if need be he can throw 2 or 3 games later. If need be it wouldn't be to hard to strectch him out from their. I kind of like having both Hall and Ashby as long men and having Peralta, Woody, Myers, Rae, Civale as the rotation. That way Hall and Ashby both save the pen from being overworked early.
-
Someone brought up Rhys to the Yankees before, what would you all think about packaging Rhys and Devin? We could take back some salary (not Giancarlo or Lemehieu) and get a prospect or 2. We could then maybe look at a 1st baseman in free agency or a trade. Christian Walker would be nice, I'd have at least some interest in Paul Goldschmidt, maybe Pete Alonso on a Matt Chapman like deal late in the offseason. Yandy Diaz would be a solid trade candidate. I get that adding Rhys takes away from some of Devin's value but if we could upgrade 1st base in the process that would be big. Maybe just Rhys to NYY would like Rhys and Peguero get us like Nestor Cortez and a mid-tier prospect make some sense?
-
How do minor league free agent contracts for players with no major league experience and not likely to make the 40 man work? If we want Ernesto back do we offer like a signing bonus and then he makes a regular minor league salary or would he agree to just like a overall higher salary.
-
I think so, we probably should trade 3 or 4 relievers just so we aren't losing guys for nothing when it comes to it. In my opinion, Wilson, Hoby, and Devin should be traded and then maybe one of Peguero or Payamps. If we lose Devin we have Megill, Hudson, Koenig, maybe Ashby, Hall, Peguero, Payamps, Mears, Yoho, Uribe, and others as late inning potential arms. We likely will also claim a vet or two as reclamation projects. There are going to be multiple big market teams in need of a closer and a weak market in terms of high end relief options, I think we should find it easy to start a bidding war for Devin. Not only would a trade give us likely 3 nice pieces in return but it would give us a little wiggle room to add a free agent or two.
-
Where do we think Braylon Payne slots in? I am sure we will be waiting until the end of the year to do another vote but just curious. mlb.com has him 9, we had him 18, basically everywhere else was somewhere between there. I don't want to overreact to essentially 1 good game but my guess is somewhere around 10 is ok.
-
I agree, a bullpen game may be our best option. Hall 1 time through, Ross/Civale/Rea 1 time through. Ashby 1 time through. If we get the Braves and Sale I'd do bullpen, if it's the Mets and like Manaea I'd probably go Freddie. Freddie, Tobias, Montas, my 4th starter would be a bullpen style game.
-
That Payne video (great job whomever is responsible) on top of the huge game vaults him way up my org. favorites.

Yeahhhhhh Payne, good lord does our minor league system have it together.

Is Braelon Payne expected to get into a couple games this weekend? I am excited to see a HS guy get an affiliated chance this year. Nice to see Bitonti go 3-3 with 3 1B and a walk. Homers are great but for him to be a big prospect he is going to need to have more of these games (and hitting 30 bombs next year won't hurt). How hard was Molina throwing? Scouting report say 90 up to 95 in college, just wondering if the stuff is better in the couple shorter starts. His strikeout numbers in college make him super interesting, with some increased accuracy and a few mph I could see a fast rise like a bunch of the 2023 drafted college arms.
-
Whenever Wilken hits a bomb his swing looks so smooth and he just feels like a guy who should be hitting .300 when you see the effortless power. Is there a specific hole in his swing or is he just trying to pull everything, any insight on the rough stretch and why he isn't finding hits?
-
Sure, but .236/.307/.380 isn't a good year for a guy making 25 million or so even if he plays good defense.
-
I wouldnt go over 5/125 if I was a big money team. Swanson, Baez, Story have all feel on there face and Willy has some warning signs (defense and bat last year). His bat this year and past defense likely makes him a 9 figure man but I dout he gets what Swanson got.
-
I'd really hate cutting Wilson and getting nothing. I agree that he is probably the low man on the totem pole as far as someone taking his 27 man spot. It might be time for him to develop some inflammation. He is 26 with 2 cheap years of control and 2 solid years back to back. If we can keep him around there is a decent prospect to be had for him. My guess is a dozen teams or so would love to have the depth and versatility he brings.
