The draft is one aspect that I was overlooking and I remember that that comes into deadline trades as well (drafting over a position means that we could be more willing to trade a player from that new position of strength). Thank you.

I was wondering if the Timber Rattler players who are doing well were being held in high A because once they get promoted no ones resdy to fill their roster spot on Wisconsin. To what extent does this go into timing of a promotion? I know Big League teams like to promote players into a homestead rather than on the road... so there are some outside factors that go into promotions. Jett may be being held back because they want to avoid Super 2 designation, but he also might be being held back because his split vs RHP is sub-optimal.

Pete in 12 years of Fld% - .966 Bauers last year in LF Fld% - .933 over 152innings.

Sometimes it looks like Yelich has no plan at the plate.

Drohan gonna compete for a slot when the 3 Red Sox gonna be fighting for their roster spot.

It's the talking to the umpire and the shaking of the head that gets me... if you think he's wrong pat your helmet and put your money where your mouth is. ABS gets rid of that mess.

I'm not sure if it's been mentioned in this form but with the Mets calling up Ewing and giving him at bats it's an interesting compare contrast with Lara. Same age, almost the same successful numbers in AAA, same diminutive size, same roster position and status (before Ewing was called up and put on the 40)... if Ewing has success the case could be made that Lara might be successful if brought up as well.

Jesus Made As long as he watches his diet, his bat will force some excellent decisions soon-ish.Luis Pena Hope he is 100% alright.Bishop Letson Lacks nuance now, but the arm plays into the top 100 soon.Logan Henderson Should be off this list already. Successful MLB starter right now.Cooper Pratt Has to figure out how to hit RHP but will be up soon.Andrew Fischer This is my pick to force his way into the lineup in Milwaukee some way, somehow. Just mashes everywhere.Josh Adamczewski Just mashes everywhere.Jeferson Quero Until he is 100% back from throwing arm injury, he will not be anything more than a #2 catcher.Marco Dinges Just mashes everywhere BUT can he catch & throw well? If so, then he will fly up this chart...if not then we have another 1B/DH/LFBraylon Payne Really doing well this year and at a younger age too. Jett Williams Too small and cannot hit righties...yet. I am lower on him because we have a better version in CPratt. Might be in the OF and do enough to stay for a while.Blake Burke Just mashes everything.Shane Drohan This year will be the one that settles him in a Brewer uniform for a long time. Dylan O'Rae A hitter, that with Fisher, could disrupt other's timelines and insert himself sooner rather than later. JD Thompson Vandy lefty with draft capital and a pathway to move up quickly.Luis Lara Gold glove-ish? Some pop now? Can play D all over...we will see. Too small and lacks pop to be any higher.Josh Knoth I still think he can spin it and stay healthy.Manuel Rodriguez I still believe he can get guys out. Jacob Morrison I have heard good things and has the size and draft capital to show something. Craig Yoho I will blame nerves last year for the untimely walks that moved him into the doghouse. Stuff is too good not to be called up this year and then stay. Ebel is too far out to be here; Boeve is closer and he needs a full year off of the IL. Hardin and Kuehner could join Crow in moving up here soon. Gasser needs to find his way back to having MLB stuff. Black is getting some time on the MLB club but almost as a last resort. Wilken and Luke "HBP" Adams' blooms have wilted. When I am too high on a player, I hope I am right. When I am too low on a player, I hope I am wrong.

Hello, Could you add Jacob Morrison please?

Per MiLB.com splits, Neither Pratt nor Jett are not hitting righties in the minors this year. It is not a good look.

The organization saw what happened when they did not value the presence of Corbin Burnes. To what degree did it play in retaining Woodruff? Who can say, but I would not be surprised if it was factored in.

He'll have plenty of time to rest when he's on the 15-day IL.

I like this...hard lefty after softer righty. I'm sure there'll be some analytics thrown in there with the green monster and Boston hitting lefties blahblahblah

Curt Hogg just called it "unserious" on bluesky...

I was not disappointed by his Italian job results...I am just saying...

Woo QP Miz CPatrick Harrison LoganHend. 6 man rotation though with the early off days it may not break camp that way.

Oh this is most def my anti-Wilken/Adams bias.

Fischer has a MUCH better chance than Wilken or LAdams

Neither Bauers nor AVaughn will have the most innings at 1B this year. AAshby assumes the old Hader multi-inning role and Drohan assumes the old bullpen Burnes role by June 1st to surprisingly good success. We make a trade with the Rays again at the deadline. WS in October.

If you knew going into the Williams trade that you would have a 3B that would have the best WAR year of that reliever you traded away....even if it was just for last year of the contract for the third baseman, so a straight up one year for deal for one year deal, I think you do it. In addition you get two pitching prospects with many many years of control..... then you really do it. The problem may be that we don't have a Brock Wilken or Luke Adams with a OPS of over 1.0 in the minors knocking in the door begging us to get rid of that rookie of the year candidate at third base who did have many yrs of control... so now we are all on edge waiting for the other shoe to drop.

How is Wilken not the odd man out in this situation? (Pratt to 3rd with Jett and Jesus at SS)

And he can play outfield a lot better than Taylor or Zobrist...Garrett Mitchell is far from done deal success.

Will be interesting to track Gore's prospects haul vs our two prospects. Rightly or wrongly, in my mind, they will be tied together and tracked for a long time.

Love this as Quero needs ABs and a "prove it" year.

In the last year of Yuniesky Betancourt's career he played in 137 games at 6 positions and had 409 plate appearances for the 2013 Brewers. Sadly, he was the worst player in baseball but had YB had talent and upside, those numbers would probably not have led to that losing season. Bottom line, there is value in super subs if they have skill.
