    It's also a much better farm now than it was in 2020.
  2. Brewcrew82
    I'm not saying you're wrong, but that would likely come at the cost of Jesus Made reps at SS in AA fwiw.
  3. Brewcrew82
    Made profiles for the most part as a SS. It's just that he has the power for 3B as well, while Pratt is potentially a 70 grade defender at SS. Probably comes down to who makes their debut first between Pratt and Made and whether Pratt hits enough to force Made over to 3B. CF I would say should be Chourio's for the foreseeable future.
  4. Brewcrew82
    Something like this in two years, I think: C: Quero/Dinges 1B: Burke/Adams 2B: Turang SS: Pratt 3B: Made LF: Williams CF: Chourio RF: Frelick
  5. Brewcrew82
    I wouldn't assume that with CF. Chourio likely remains a better option in CF than Jett Williams as Williams is projected as a 50-55 fielder in CF at best. Chourio is a 60 with plus to plus plus range, even if a bit raw as he demonstrated at times last year.
  6. Brewcrew82
    When does Arnold start to receive some criticism?
  7. Brewcrew82
    Jett Williams hit 17 HRs last year with a .204 ISO. He has power.

    Not officially confirmed, but Jackson Chourio reportedly set to play for Venezuela.
  10. Brewcrew82
    Not interested at all in Jones or Gil. There's basically zero precedent of success for players with as severe of contact issues as Jones in AAA. He makes Keston Hiura look like Nico Hoerner. He screams bust or severely limited role player at best. Gil likewise comes with major red flags in his injury history and peripherals. He has a higher BB% than Misiorowski over his career and his K% declined by over 10 points last year. I really hope they steer clear of these two guys.
  11. Brewcrew82
    I obviously trust Arnold and co. but Luis Gil being the centerpiece of a Freddy return would be absolutely criminal. His peripherals stink, his K/BB% is trending the wrong direction, has a clear injury history, and comes with only 3 more years of control. Unless the Yankees are willing to part with Schlittler (they won't be) or Rodriguez, I'd honestly prefer to stay away from them. No thank you on Jones, who has major bust potential, or Dominguez, who is a horrible OFer.
  12. Brewcrew82
    When has what another team has done impacted the strategy of this FO? Hint: Never.
  13. Brewcrew82
    Mayo is not really a Brewers player. Limited to 1B, major K issues.
  14. Brewcrew82
    or Why can’t people just say whatever they want to say…. If you struggle to see the logic of the trade, you’re fine to express that. I personally like this trade because we took two guys who really struggled at the end of the season and are likely to have significant regression into a controllable elite stuff pitcher who is likely to experience some degree of positive regression
  15. Brewcrew82
    To be fair, “going out of the way to justify a trade” this FO makes, as you put it, would be pretty dang accurate position to take. Think people are mainly just are trying to see things through the FO’s lens, and generally when they do, they understand it and are more in favor of it given their track record.
  16. Brewcrew82
    If we trade Freddy, I think people are going to be surprised by an outfielder being a major piece of the return.
  17. Brewcrew82
    Michael Harris and JR Ritchie for Peralta and Mitchell is about fair value per BTV. No added salary for the Brewers.
  18. Brewcrew82
    Count me as still on the skeptical side when it comes to trading Freddy. There's a bit of an incongruency between the three teams you mention as being most interested in Freddy and the Brewers' asking price, which you describe as "greater than for Burnes". First of all, the farm systems of those three teams all stink. Like consensus bottom 5 in baseball sort of stink. The only major league ready prospect that I'd have interest in is JR Ritchie, and why wouldn't the Braves just keep him and use him in their rotation instead of trading him for a one year rental in Freddy. Which means most, if not all of the value coming back to the Brewers in a Freddy trade is controllable pieces from their major league rosters. All of the Braves' controllable pieces are signed to contract extensions, which makes them more expensive. The only exception is Drake Baldwin and while we do need to start planning for life after William, I don't see them making him available. I will say Michael Harris is interesting from a Brewers perspective given his extension is on the cheaper side and he's still only 24. As for the Astros and Padres, seriously who is out there that makes a deal worthwhile Brewers? It's all aging, expensive vets, expiring contracts, and a steaming pile of yuck.
  19. Brewcrew82
    Down with that. Flexor strains can be foreshadowing and we have Uribe ready plus Ashby and others. $4 million in savings.
  20. Brewcrew82
    Can't trade Woody until June by MLB rule. They may end up dealing an arm (perhaps even Peralta), but I doubt they'll be especially motivated to deal with overcrowding as they can remember the dire straits they were in at the beginning of the season. These things tend to resolve themselves, whether through injury or underperformance.
  21. Brewcrew82
    The list of players you trade Made for is very small and plainly doesn’t include Buxton. Pena is probably more available due to Qs surrounding his ultimate defensive home and his stint in Appleton. Still, at 18 he’s one of the top 20 or so prospects in baseball, so he’s a reach for 3 years of an injury prone and 30+ (albeit elite) Buxton. Brewers’ depth can compete with anyone even after those two guys though. Something along the lines of Henderson and Payne or Pratt and Gasser might convince the Twins to pull the trigger. Put Joe Ryan on the table and we can discuss Pena. At least those are my thoughts. I will say I find the notion of Buxton as a pure salary dump to be laughable. You may not be able to count on him for 150 or even 125, but come the postseason he’s a proven difference maker, and the Brewers are as well positioned as any team to promote his health given their high quality OF depth options and their growing need to limit Christian Yelich’s exposure vs LHP. The contract is dirt cheap for the production.
  22. Brewcrew82
    Buxton might be softening his "Twin for Life" stance and be willing to move to a contender as part of the Twins' ongoing teardown. His contract is more than the Brewers are used to for a non-Yeli player, but still quite reasonable over the next three seasons for the production. Remains a well above average defender in OF (100th percentile speed!) and can DH against LHP even with Yeli in the fold. And obviously the bat would PLAY in the Brewers lineup. Health always a concern, but the Brewers have really solid depth options in Collins, Mitchell, and Perkins, to cover for any IL stints. This could be your Lorenzo Cain in 2018 move imo. Thoughts (cc. @Brock Beauchamp)? https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/mlb-rumors-trades-free-agency-dodgers-mets-yankees-braves-ketel-marte-diamondbacks-byron-buxton-twins/

    So, the study commission instituted when the renovation funding deal went through has come out with its report. Basically, three options presented at varying locations around the ballpark. Each a mix of housing, retail, and office space. Think the Brewers and the Stadium District would be wise to follow through. You don't need all the parking. And the Packers have proven that this sort of concept can coexist alongside tailgating. With Komatsu in the process of being demolished, there's clear economic development and revenue opportunities that would make Am Fam more of a year round destination. https://urbanmilwaukee.com/2025/11/12/see-brewers-options-to-develop-land-around-their-stadium/

    Would imagine he's still viewed as the successor to Murph. Counsell came right out of the front office when he replaced Roenicke. At least he now has experience in the dugout.
  25. Brewcrew82
    Sure, but every percentage that BA goes up you’re paying even more….Guys who have power like Cruz AND make consistent contact are way out of the Brewers’ price range. So Brewers have little choice but to think out of the box like this. Cruz was also quite unlucky this year. His xwOBA indicates he’s much closer to the guy who put up a .775 OPS in 2024.
