    I think this is probably a nothing burger. He will start out the year at SS but will play multiple positions. Brewers have listed him as an INF/OF post trade.

    Made has now officially passed the Chourio trajectory. Chourio was not invited to big league camp as a teenager in 2023.

    I believe that is the first

    Brewers are very well represented in Kiley's Top 100 with 8! prospects.

    Yeah turns 32 in June and has had one good season in the last 4 years. Substantially overperformed his underlying numbers last season and is no longer a plus baserunner like he was in the past. Maybe he can keep it going for another year but I'm not buying it.

    He came up to Milwaukee for like two days but outside of that I don’t think he had any involvement with the team. Maybe he was down in Maryvale but I haven’t seen or heard anything about that.

    The facility is definitely good enough for AA but the issue is that there’s no AA league remotely close to Appleton. It would take a complete makeover of the leagues for that to happen.

    When Spencer said minor league depth he means depth for the minor leagues not for the major leagues. Basically Miller is a solid minor leaguer and is system depth.

    Why is Patrick's ceiling as a starter a number 4? Last year as a SP he had a 3.88 xERA, 3.50 FIP, 16.9 K-BB%, and 3.97 SIERA. All that while also not having a good offspeed/breaking ball. With the addition of his slurve, is it not possible to think he could level up a bit? Stuff+ thinks both his fastball and cutter are comfortably above average pitches by stuff at 107 and 111 stuff+ respectively.

    That's just not the way the Brewers operate and until there are major changes to the economic landscape of MLB it probably won't change. Brewers firmly believe in the "bites of the apple" approach of sustained competitiveness. In all seriousness, do you really think adding Duran significantly alter the odds of the Brewers beating the Dodgers in the playoffs? Does adding that one player suddenly make us their equals on paper?
  11. wiguy94
    Yeah I wouldn't even look at ERA when evaluating the lab. I'd look more at FIP, SIERA, and K-BB% as those are better indicators of purely the pitcher. Here's an example of lab success. Before Milwaukee - 5.74 FIP, 4.90 SIERA, 7.1 K-BB% In Milwaukee - 3.42 FIP, 3.16 SIERA, 19.3 K-BB% After Milwaukee - 3.39 FIP, 3.78 SIERA, 12.6 K-BB%

    Here's a list of players since 2006 with 700 PA at AA and a batting average between .200 and .210...not exactly a list that screams future MLB player. I think there's two MLB players on that list. One is a CF who can't hit but is super fast and great defensively. The other briefly played catcher for the A's in 2024 and has some pop in his bat but can't make contact. Guys who can't hit for average and don't have pop rarely ever make it to MLB unless they are elite defensively. Darrien Miller is not elite defensively. https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders/minor-league?pos=all&level=2&lg=&stats=bat&qual=700&type=1&team=&season=2006&seasonEnd=2025&org=all&ind=0&splitTeam=false&players=&filter=AVG|gt|0.2,AVG|lt|0.21&sort=19,1

    This should be in the transactions and rumors forum
  14. wiguy94
    I'll also add to this. A fangraphs 50 FV position player is a player they project to be an average everyday player who accumulates roughly 10-15 fWAR during their 6 years of team control. That's like a Cronenworth type of player on the high end and a Dubon type player on the low end.

    Great post! I think it's become a bit too common to refer to bench players who can play multiple positions as utility players. A true utility player is someone who can play multiple positions and still rack up close to a full season's worth of PA not someone like Andruw Monasterio who is just a positionally versatile bench player.
  16. wiguy94
    Yes it’s way too early. Brewers didn’t trade Adames. There’s no reason to assume the Brewers absolutely will trade Contreras.

    Sproat is on the 40-man

    Joe Doyle says industry chatter is we could be in the final year or two of high school talent being draft eligible.
  19. wiguy94
    I agree on average pitchers age better than position players do but it's not a guarantee and pitchers are much more likely to have an injury that will reduce their impact for 12-18 months than position players.
  20. wiguy94
    I'll be honest I think you both are off. Williams is only 22 and wasn't great in AAA last year. He needs to work on some things in AAA before he's MLB ready.
  21. wiguy94
    Don't you see though? The Brewers signed Yelich to that extension coming off two straight MVP caliber seasons. Everyone thought the extension was a bargain but injury issues and aging have warped that MVP version of Yelich. Now you think it's bad to be paying him the money he's being paid and think Peralta should be getting paid. Peralta will be entering his age 31 season when he hits FA. If you sign him to a contract you're doing exactly what the Brewers did with Yelich in 2019 and paying for the backside of his career where he's likely going to regress and not live up to the contract. Long term financial commitments to players over 30 hamstring small market teams with low payrolls.
  22. wiguy94
    That's absolutely an unrealistic scenario. You're not going to get 3 years of Duran or 4 years of Abreu for 1 year of Freddy Peralta.
  23. wiguy94
    Kind of crazy that a waiver claim of Marco Estrada in 2010 has turned into 24.2 fWAR, Brandon Sproat, and Jett Williams.
  24. wiguy94
    Why would an MLB team trade a proven high quality MLB bat for 1 year of Freddy Peralta and prospects? The whole concept of a team trading for 1 year of a SP is that they are trying to win in that one season. That makes it counter-intuitive to trade a proven high quality hitter from your roster. It's just not logical.

    I saw somewhere that Sproat had a tale of two halves in AAA last year and it looks like that was true. First half of his AAA season - .261/.365/.402 opponent slash, 15.6% K-rate, 11.6% BB-rate, 22.5% whiff rate, 88.2 Avg EV, 35.8% hard hit, 5.2% barrel rate Second half of his AAA season - .165/.254/.248 opponent slash, 30.2% K-rate, 9.1% BB-rate, 29.5% whiff rate, 86.8 Avg EV, 29.9% hard hit, 3.6% barrel rate
