    Because Hader just signed with the Astros.
  2. Brewcrew82
    Not able to look up the numbers right now, but how about since 2020. I’d bet Devin is neck and neck with him. I know he’s beats him in ERA as Devin has the lowest career ERA in the live ball era.
  3. Brewcrew82
    So the Astros ended up loaning him to us and the Padres for 8 years.
  4. Brewcrew82
    In case anyone forgot, Jackson Chourio and Jeferson Quero are already on the roster, too. They were added this off-season.
  5. Brewcrew82
    Sounds like the Orioles.

    Cooper makes sense in a platoon role. Slashed .324/.375/.529 vs. LHP in 2023. We have Bauers and likely Black from the left side. In an everyday role, though, I'm a lot less interested. I agree that Hoskins and even Santana are more desirable.

    And probably the most anticipated date of the offseason for prospect nerds. The release of BA's top 100! https://www.baseballamerica.com/rankings/2024-top-100-prospects/ (subscription required) 2. Chourio (One writer voted him #1) 32. Misiorowski 33. Quero (first name listed in a separate article re. who is primed to rise up the list in the coming year) 70. Black 98. Gasser

    They've been the lowest on Chourio for a while now. Only had him at 10 last year and 7 midseason. They're more of a scout the statline-type outfit compared to BA and MLB. Interestingly, they had Corbin Carroll at 6 last year, while everyone else had him at 2 so kind of a similar situation here. To say Chourio doesn't do anything better than Caminero, though, is just plain wrong. First of all, he makes more contact than Caminero. And then there's the whole baserunning and fielding thing, which he does a lot better than Caminero. Only thing Caminero actually does demonstrably better than Chourio is hit the ball harder. Also, I don't know how you justify Crews over Chourio, if you're going to move Langford all the way up to 2 on the basis of his 40 game sample size. Chourio's statline in AA was way better, and at 19 compared to Crews' 21. It's not egregious, but the process is part of why I think BP is lower quality than BA, MLB, and even Fangraphs.

    6. Chourio 38. Quero 58. Black 63. Misiorowski Lowest I've seen on Chourio in a bit. Though, they have been the outlier in that regard among the major outlets. My biggest issue though would be Crews over Chourio. If you're going to move Langford up to #2 on the basis of his 40 game sample, then how do you justify Crews over Chourio, when Chourio is more than two years younger and had better numbers in AA? Otherwise, list looks about right. https://www.baseballprospectus.com/prospects/article/87663/2024-prospects-the-top-101/ (Subscription required)

    Santana>Votto.
  11. Brewcrew82
    Not a good fit for him ballpark wise, but I would've said the same about Colorado and he was his usual solid self. Also, not a surprise as he's from the area.
  12. Brewcrew82
    On the surface looks like a bit of a steal for Chicago, nabbing a MLR top 100 prospect and an upside reliever for two teenagers. However, I also trust the Dodgers PDS and evaluation abilities more than the Cubs’. I wonder if they’ve seen enough from Busch in the majors to be concerned about whether his bat will translate. He’s struggled to catch up to velocity in his SSS. Not what you want to see from a bat-only prospect.
  13. Brewcrew82
    Yeah. IDK why ZIPS is so low on Yelich and Contreras. My guess is it doesn't buy Contreras' defensive improvements, which I would disagree with. And that Yelich is going right back to the 2021 version, which I also find unlikely. Big discrepancy with Steamer. On the other hand, you get something close to the 2023 versions of both, and that's pretty close to the top team in the Central if a guy like Santana is added for 1B.
  14. Brewcrew82
    So, with Burnes, pitching side of things looks to remain in good shape. That bullpen is really, really good. But, man, we still need some help on the corners and/or at DH. Give me a Soler or Hoskins. If anyone wants to know why we traded Houser, look at that Gasser projection....
  15. Brewcrew82
    Coming soon...
  16. Brewcrew82
    I could see it in that MA is still pissed at CC and is willing to spend some money to finish first over the Cubs.
  17. Brewcrew82
    Depends what the Rays want back. I'd be very careful about trading with them, but if the price is right, sure. Wouldn't trade anyone in our top 10. Though, this FO prioritizes defense, so idk if they'd want him over Santana.
  18. Brewcrew82
    Players are not defined by their rookie seasons…. Not all guys are going to figure it out, but I’m willing to bet some of them will. Just look at the hit rate for top 3 prospects over the past decade if you want to see what a reasonable expectation for Chourio is. Main thing is to keep churning up talent from the minors to replace those who bust/depart in FA. Brewers are well-positioned to do that with their deep farm system.
  19. Brewcrew82
    What on god's green earth makes you think this organization views Nola as being "hugely impactful"? Because "hugely impactful" players don't tend to get minor league deals... These moves are made on the fringes because CUMULATIVELY they can make a difference in the end. You cannot win in Major League Baseball in 2024 without effective depth. Look at the Padres this past year if you want to see what a top heavy roster laden with "hugely impactful" additions accomplishes.
  20. Brewcrew82
    I just don’t see the upside with C Rod, as I don’t think the stuff is there. I do think he has a safe 4/5 starter floor, though. Mis is just on an entirely different level. Command will be key, but the pure stuff is better than anyone in the minors with the possible exception of Skenes. I’ll disagree with Arob, and say that I like Gasser’s potential to be something resembling a TOR pitcher. I think he’s 2021-2022 Lauer but with better strikeout ability. That’s a #3 starter at minimum.
  21. Brewcrew82
    They literally traded for Oliver Dunn and Jake Bauers earlier this offseason...
  22. Brewcrew82
    Just keeps getting worse and worse....
  23. Brewcrew82
    Yamamoto is also 25 years old…..Big difference from the other signings you’re talking about as that’s an investment in the present AND future not unlike Chourio.
  24. Brewcrew82
    It was in an article from a bit ago that they were considering calling up Chourio. I don’t have it in front of me though I’ll try to dig it up. They would have had to add him to the 40 man and started his service time clock. Without an extension, that means potential super 2 eligibility and a loss of a year of control of a potential superstar player. Especially if their plan was to start him in the majors on OD. It’s also a hell of a thing to ask a 19 year old kid to make his major league debut off the bench in the postseason and be a difference maker over Winker. And if you really want to know whether he’s that good, just consult any mainstream prospect list where he’s consensus top 2 in the game.

    My entire perspective on Attanasio is something this: We're the literal smallest market in the game. We spent like it during the Selig-Prieb years. We haven't since Attanasio took over ownership in 2005. Further, we had a losing record and two total postseason appearances in the three and a half decades pre-Attanasio. With Attanasio overseeing things the last eighteen years, we have a winning record and seven postseason appearances, including two LCS appearances where we were a game or two from the WS. Overall, I really struggle to understand the hate directed towards Attanasio by a significant portion of the fanbase. If anything, he's gotten better as an owner, by meddling less in baseball operations and deferring to minds like Stearns and Arnold. Sure, we haven't won a WS. But only one comparable market team has won one this century. And it took two large market-teams, the Cubs and Red Sox, almost a combined two centuries to win a WS. If Attanasio were to sell the team like some want, it would more likely than not imo be to someone who returns spending to Selig-Prieb levels or, in the alternative, decides to move the team to a more profitable market. Instead, we're getting a bunch of bites at the apple in an era where 80 win teams are routinely making and even winning the WS. If you can find an owner who is 100% committed to keeping the team in MKE and is willing to pull a Seidler over multiple seasons in pursuit of a WS, then I'll be the first to sign up. In the meantime, I'll happily stick with MA.
