This Eriq Swan guy on the Great Lakes Loons has got to be one of the most underrated prospects in all of baseball. How he's an org top 15-30 guy makes no sense to me. One of the best looking pitchers I've seen all year in the minor leagues regardless of level.
The last calendar year hasn't been very fun for Tyler Woessner. Started off last season dominating in the Biloxi rotation and was promoted to AAA where everything kind of just fell apart for him. Now he's org depth getting sent to A+ with Wisconsin in a pitching bind.
Yeah mostly just focusing on position players though not sure I would have any pitcher above those 4 in terms of ceiling. There's not like a Misiorowski type pitcher there with a super obvious ace level ceiling.
So Joseph ripped off a bit of a hot take about Dinges earlier in the thread. I've got a bit of a hot take involving Dinges as well. Of the Brewers 2023 and 2024 draft picks, I think Payne and Dinges have the two highest ceilings. These guys both have legit power upside and have flashed the tools to feel confident enough that they will stick at premium defensive spots in CF and C. I'd have Pratt and Bitonti behind them at 3 and 4. I'm just not as high on Pratt's bat as most. I just don't think there's as much power in there as others think and while Bitonti probably has the highest offensive ceiling of the two drafts him seemingly already pushed down the defensive spectrum to 1B really dampers his ceiling for me.
I am still very down on the Brewers offense but the pitching has been extremely enjoyable to watch since the calendar hit April. Another great team pitching performance tonight.
We just got bamboozled by gameday. They briefly had the ACL Brewers winning 2-1 but then it corrected and the ACL Brewers were instead walked off 3-2 in the 7th.
Mears also had zero track record of success in MLB. It was all stuff/underlying metrics that made Mears valuable while Megill has multiple seasons of success.
@Brock Beauchamp These are the players listed who didn't get any votes last time - Jorge Quintana, Christopher Acosta, Tanner Gillis, Matthew Wood, and Yerlin Rodriguez. Don't know if you want to remove them or not.
Man I wonder when the last time both of our DSL teams were below .500 at the same time.
Very slow starts for our three biggest bonuses of the IFA class. Fenelon is leading the way with a .506 OPS, Antunez is at a .451 OPS, and Acosta still has yet to get his first pro hit starting the year 0-25 with a .074 OPS.
Man the Wisconsin and Carolina pitching staffs are looking extremely thin right now. Carolina has 13 healthy pitchers. Wisconsin has 12 healthy pitchers.
It seems Tanner Gillis might be dealing with something considering he didn’t start last week and he’s not listed as one of the starters for this week for Wisconsin.
It's been said a few times but there's no space for Burke in AA until one of Wilken, Adames, Boeve get promoted to AAA unless they want Adams to get reps in LF.
Boeve drew a walk after the Adams HBP and while Montgomery made a pitching change Adams was pinch ran for. Looks to have hopefully avoided a major injury.
