    Oh wow I just noticed DSL Brewers 1 have a double header today against the pesky division leading DSL Orioles Orange. Getting a sweep here would be massive.

    Blake Burke assigned to A+ Wisconsin.
  3. wiguy94
    I agree. I've suspected the same for a while.

    I just don’t know if the elite pitching development is a thing anymore. I look at our farm system and I feel like the hitting development is what stands out lately.

    DSL SUPER TEAM TIME

    It’s honestly pretty funny seeing Yoho getting a bunch of publicity on Twitter today when we here on the minor league forum have known for months how disgusting he is. I mean we have all been saying since basically his first few innings that this dude had no business being in high A. It’s like the world has been let in on our little secret.

    Yeah I’m just talking about the swinging strike rate not anything else. According to Fangraphs he has a 12.6% swinging strike rate in A ball this year and had a 29.7% swinging strike rate in the ACL last year. If that’s where @sveumrules is drawing the data from then those ACL innings are definitely doing a heavy share of the lifting to that 3rd overall 15.6% swinging strike rate.

    How many other pitchers who threw a solid chunk of innings in the ACL are qualified for that list? Feel like swinging strike rates are absurd in the ACL so that’s probably doing some heavy lifting for Rodriguez and I feel like most other guys who spent time in the ACL might not have hit that 100 IP mark.

    I think the announcers are getting the pitch types from trackman/statcast so not surprising Hem got it mixed up.

    I don't just scout the statline either. I'd venture outside of Joseph there are very few people that watch more Brewers minor league baseball than me. I think Yophery is limited in the tools department relative to other Top 100 guys. Seems like a guy with a bunch of 50 grade tools with defense probably being the one that is a 55-60 grade tool. I just don't think jack of all trades guys in the low minors are Top 100 candidates. If Gasser stayed healthy he wouldn't be prospect eligible anymore, so I don't think he deserves to be a Top 100 prospect because he had TJ.
  11. wiguy94
    I mean I definitely did not know what you meant. I thought you were saying he was released or traded.
  12. wiguy94
    4 bottom half Top 100 prospects isn't much in terms of farm system rankings. Top 25 prospects is where you start seeing movement in farm system rankings, so yeah I stand by saying in terms of Top 100 our system is pretty thin. I also disagree that Yophery and Gasser are fringe Top 100 prospects.
  13. wiguy94
    Well the Mudcats got no hit. They scored a run at least!
  14. wiguy94
    Tate Kuehner with one heck of a second AA start. 5 IP, 1 H, 0 ER, 3 BB, 10 SO. 15 whiffs.
  15. wiguy94
    What is with Brewers rehab pitchers getting hit by comebackers and injured in AAA. JB Bukauskas plagged tonight. Yoho with his AAA debut today. Statcast kept mixing up his changeup as a curveball
  16. wiguy94
    I'm really tired of the Mudcats facing Sykora. This dude just owns us.
  17. wiguy94
    Speaking of the devil. Sykora is pitching against Carolina again tonight and is shutting down an offense that has been on fire in the series.

    Honestly the more I look at the pitching prospects popping up onto these Top 100 lists, the more unlikely I think it is for a Brewers pitching prospects to make the Top 100. Maybe a young guy can get a big velo bump along the way, but I really think a lot of our pitching prospects are more guys who will fit that 45/45+ type grades from Fangraphs or 50 grades from pipeline. Good prospects and maybe fringe Top 100 prospects but I'm struggling to see pitchers that jump out as future Top 100 prospects. This is definitely what makes me a bit bummed to miss out on Levonas as I think he had a crazy high ceiling. Like just for example the Nationals have two pop up pitching prospects this year in Susana and Sykora and they are both 6'6 and throw upper 90s. Seems like the Brewers like more of the analytical darlings even if they don't have the typical frame that the scouting services love. I know for a fact Baseball Prospectus guys are pretty high on Henderson but I think they lean a bit more into the pitch analytics side than BA, Fangraphs, ESPN, etc.

    Just an FYI but the Brewers did not unload Max Lazar. He was a minor league FA that chose to leave. Happy that he's succeeded in Philly and is getting a shot in the MLB
  20. wiguy94
    3 reputable places have shared midseason farm rankings. BA had us at 15, ESPN at 17, and Fangraphs at 19. Spencer has said he thinks the farm system is currently in the 10-15 range. BP didn't have any Brewers in their midseason Top 50 update, so I imagine they would have our farm system similarly ranked to BA, ESPN, and Fangraphs. The farm system is young and has good depth, but depth isn't how you're going to get a high ranked farm system. Top 100 prospects are how you get there which we lack at the moment. We have a lot of players with Top 100 upside in the low minors and complex league. Pratt is a semi-universal Top 100 prospect at this point. Yophery, Bitonti, Made, Pena all have Top 100 potential. Pitchers like Meccage, Knoth, Letson have Top 100 potential although I'd say less so than the 4 position players.

    Don't even think solid start is necessary. The peripherals were hideous during that stretch. It was just small sample size flukiness. During that stretch he had a .253 xwOBA. 7% BB-rate, 30% K-rate, 33% whiff rate. During the learning curve stretch. During the learning curve stretch he had a .283 xwOBA, 5% BB-rate, 26% K-rate, 29% whiff rate, so the peripherals were worse during the solid start than the learning curve stretch.

    I think these complaints about ESPN are very misplaced. Kiley worked with Longenhagen at Fangraphs before he took over for ESPN. He's not some no nothing hack.
  23. wiguy94
    The reason we have Freddy Peralta today!
  24. wiguy94
    Here's a crazy tweet. Just to emphasize how young Chourio is. He is younger than 72% of this fantasy guy's Top 500 prospects. Also another crazy tweet from Curt. It's cherrypicked, but the company that did it at 21 are 2 of the best players in MLB history.

    If we want some positive prospect news, Just Baseball just dropped their Top 100. It had 6 Brewers. 1. Jeferson Quero - 27 2. Jesus Made - 58 (very aggressive, wouldn't be shocked if this is an industry consensus type ranking 12 months from now) 3. Jacob Misiorowski - 66 4. Luke Adams - 74 (this is pretty shocking. I know the bat has been amazing but wow) 5. Tyler Black - 80 6. Yophery Rodriguez - 96
