  1. Interestingly Pipeline actually bumped Yophery down from a 50 Overall to a 45 Overall grade which is why he's 11th in the Red Sox system. If Yophery was a 45 Overall grade before the trade then he would have been at best 11th in the Brewers system. Still think it's an overpay but trading a fringe Top 10 prospect, comp A pick, and a PTBNL for 6 years of a potential SP feels a lot more fair.
  2. I'm in disbelief that the Blue Jays caved. There's no money deferred as well so this is the second biggest net present contract in the MLB history behind Soto. Soto for reference has a career 158 wRC+ and his last 4 seasons put up 164, 146, 154, 180 wRC+. Vlad Jr has a careeer 137 wRC+ and his last 4 seasons put up 166, 132, 118, 165 wRC+. I'm with you that this contract ages very poorly and I would not be surprised if this eventually went down as one of the worst contracts ever.
  3. Honestly I don't think I could be any more impressed with Payne and Pena through 3 games. They both just look like they belong in the box. Honestly my only gripe with Payne at this point is that his defense in CF appears to be very raw. He's kind of the inverse Yophery out there in that he's super tooled up but raw whereas Yophery is more of a fringe average CF athlete with really solid instincts. Pena's defense is really smooth. He had an error today but honestly I put that way more on Walling who frankly looked like he was wearing oven mitts on any throw that was in the dirt.
  4. So even though Made had an instagram story that looked like he was maybe in the DR yesterday, he's definitely in Carolina. Saw him in the dugout after Nicasia's game tying double. Maybe just a minor injury?
  5. It was his day to start so just keeping him on schedule. Rodriguez got pushed back because he was up for what we assume was Cortes needing to go on the paternity list.
  6. He had a video on his instagram story today that looked like he was back in the DR. Don't know what that would be about though.
  7. Yeah he typically is in the 88-90 range so last night wasn't like a bad velo night or anything. Really good spin and control though.
  8. He still has a 0.00 ERA but he has not looked good this year. The stuff is down and he's just not locating very well. He could get by with the worse stuff if he was throwing strikes but the worse stuff in combo with him constantly getting into deep counts is not looking like a sustainable recipe.
  9. Finally finished up watching all the games (outside of Nashville sorry they aren't fun). Hostetler looked solid. None of the young Carolina hitters looked out of place even though most didn't have very good games. Cedar Rapids had absolutely nothing for Rodriguez. His breaking balls were tormenting them all night. I hope there's a velo bump in there eventually for Manuel because he has incredible feel for his pitches and spins it really well, but it's hard to envision a RHP throwing barely 90 breaking into the MLB in this day and age. Yophery had a hard hit fly ball that on a summer night might have been a HR to the deepest part of the park but not tonight. Biloxi was just a very rough showing outside of very nice defense being flashed the entire night. Pensacola was making good contact against pretty much every Biloxi pitcher. As for the Biloxi hitters just looked really overmatched for the most part. Lara looked like he didn't belong. Was chasing and whiffing against everything. Wilken and Adams are very passive hitters. Would like to see them swing the bat a bit more in early counts.
  10. The most exciting day of the minor league season! Can't wait!
  11. I was hoping for the same thing haha
  12. Anderson was called up to replace Civale when Civale went on the IL.
  13. Unless Ginger can cook the Brewers up 10-15 spots in the draft, I think this one might even be too much for her. Our heroes have their limits.
  14. Chourio is the blueprint. He made it to AA (even if it was only for a week) in his age 18 season. Though Chourio was very overmatched in that week.
  15. Did anyone actually say that? Seems pretty unbelievable.
  16. At this point we will take every win we can get so today is a success. The bats need to wake up though.
  17. Through 5 games, Nashville as a team has struck out 54 times in 161 PA for a 33.5% K-rate...not good!
  18. Wes Clarke with the golden sombrero. Nashville as a team strike out 14 times in 32 PA for a 44% K-rate. Not ideal.
  19. Nashville might just be really bad this year. A lot of these hitters look like they don't belong in AAA.
  20. 5 hits, 3 BB, 1 HBP and 16 SO for the Sounds today. Rough start to the season for the bats. Also get healthy soon Quero. Alfaro has a .000 OPS through 3 starts.
  21. Abysmal offensive performance from Nashville today. It's one thing to get lit up by a very good pitching prospect in Waldrep. Another thing to continue to get lit up by Moran and his 83mph FB.
  22. Though in Ernesto's defense he got rung up on a pitch clock violation when the ump started the pitch clock well before Waldrep got the ball back after Durbin's SB.
  23. This game is giving 2025 Brewers energy. Zimmerman getting smashed and Waldrep is dominating the bats.
  24. Guess we will see if Quero is going to be on the active roster or the IL for Nashville.
  25. No Quero, Wichrowski, Crow, or O'Rae.
