Well, again, this is where how the Brewers view the players and our perceptions differ. Clearly they like Lockridge. I'm OK with it. They do things like this every year and I have learned to live with it. Given I watch the majority of the Sounds games I will with the possibility they find an Issac Collins and/or Blake Perkins via these avenues (yes, I realize those were ML Rule 5 and ML FA - hence, avenues). They rostered Capra and Roller. They let Shane Smith available for Rule 5. They are not perfect in their evaluations but there is zero doubt in my mind they are utterly faithful to their evaluation systems and criteria and they religiously stick to them. I can absolutely get behind that. I'll give it the benefit of the doubt. Now, granted, the majority of these AAAA players and moves end up being just that. But, it is an avenue they must exploit and they will certainly try to do so. I'm good with it. Heck, as you know, I love me some Jared Oliva and Daz Cameron. I loved me some late 2024 season Chris Roller. These are still great athletes and good baseball players - even if their likelihood of making it at 'The Big Show' is slim I'm along for the journey.
