    The farm system is around the 10th best in the MLB by the reputable sites. I wouldn't say that's loaded. It's a young farm system that is still a year away from really being loaded. You're uninformed and ignorant about basically everything you've complained about in this thread. Maybe if you took some time and researched the organization and how well it's run you'd be happier with the great organization we have or just continue to be miserable over a hobby. Your choice.

    The Browns have the worst record in the NFL during Haslam's ownership. The Brewers meanwhile have I believe the 7th or 8th best record in MLB during Attanasio's ownership despite owning the smallest market team in a sport without a salary cap. But sure tell us how Haslam would fix anything.

    I'd argue Miller has basically zero offensive upside. His entire hitting success comes from BB and HBP. Guys like him thrive in the minors because pitchers stink. In MLB they would challenge him because he offers very little threat of damaging the ball. I think batting average is mostly pointless to evaluate MLB players, but if you're putting up a BA south of .230 as a 21-23 year old in A+ and AA with no power then the chances of you ever being an MLB player are incredibly slim because his hitting profile is not one that will translate to MLB and he's a bad defensive catcher.

    Which circles back to the entire issue of you in this thread. You believe the only way to "try to win" is to spend money on FA and increase payroll. Haslam would run the Brewers out of the city of Milwaukee by making dumb decisions left and right. He's developed a notorious reputation for being overly hands on in team building and hiring decisions. Basically the anti-thesis of what has made the Brewers so good over the last 7+ years. Go root for the Angels. They "try to win" by spending way more on payroll than we do. You'd be much happier over there.

    One of the worst comments in the history of this website. Haslam is one of the worst owners in sports.

    Unless Frelick gets traded between now and ST I don't think you'll see Chourio get CF reps considering Perkins, Mitchell, and Frelick all had CF priority over Chourio last year.

    The issue with this is that 3 of the 4 stats are accumulation stats not rate based and the one that is rate based is an outdated defensive metric. Chourio - 1207 innings, 12 DRS, 6 OAA, 7 FRV, 9.9 DRP Mitchell's MLB career - 788 innings, 10 DRS, 4 OAA, 5 FRV, 3.0 DRP Mitchell's 1207 innings pace - 15 DRS, 6 OAA, 8 FRV, 4.6 DRP

    Go root for another team then

    They bumped Made between now and their end of season Top 30 lists. They had him behind Misiorowski then and now he's ahead of Misirowski.

    Those HR and RBI numbers sure are nice but that's over 863 PA which is like 200 games worth of PA. They combined for a 95 wRC+ so despite the HR and RBI production they were below league average hitters together. They also only combined for 23 doubles and 2 triples. It was very HR or bust with both of them. I imagine the Brewers want better from the 1B position in 2025.

    Aram just puts a bunch of young unproven players in his Top 100. If there are two things Aram loves more than most it’s youth upside and chase rate. The Brewers farm has a bunch of youth and the Brewers both target and develop players to not chase. Basically our system is very in line with how Aram views the game which is why he’s extremely high on it. Luke Adams being in the Top 100 is an example of his love of chase rate. I think Aram is a little overboard on the chase rate stuff. Low chase is good but there’s also low chase to the point of being passive and it doesn’t seem like he agrees with that.

    I'd say it's more a top 4. Dodgers, Yankees, Mets, Phillies have just blown past the tax line. There are other big payroll teams but they don't blow past the tax line that much. Per Cot's those four I listed are all above $295M for 2025 in CBT payroll projections. San Diego is presently 5th at $247M

    In the playoffs it doesn't make as much of a difference because the series are such small sample size that anyone can win, but over a 162 game regular season that additional money and roster depth is massive. These were the 40-man payroll ranks of last year's playoff teams. Mets - 1 Yankees - 2 Dodgers - 3 Phillies - 4 Astros - 5 Braves - 7 Padres - 15 Royals - 21 Royals - 22 Cleveland - 23 Orioles - 24 Detroit - 27 So the top 5 teams in 40 man payroll made the playoffs last year and 6 of the top 7 did. Of the 5 bottom half payroll teams to make the playoffs 4 of them were in Central divisions and the other tanked for many years to load up on top prospects. Money more often than not = wins in the regular season

    No it's not gaslighting. They are just doing it in a way you don't like. They view a long competitive window with many playoff berths as more conducive to winning a WS than a shorter window. Brewers could spend $50M more a year on payroll and still be at a disadvantage on paper. It will always involve luck.

    I’d say it’s probably close to 50-50 right now but the Cubs might still add while I’m not sure the Brewers will. By the end of the offseason the Cubs will probably look the strongest on paper and be favorites. I think the team talent levels were pretty comparable last year. Difference being we had an elite high leverage pen and the Cubs had a bad one. Cubs have added some pen arms but none of the high leverage variety really. If they say add Tanner Scott it would make their pen look a lot better.

    Does Baseball America just sort by bonus payments? I thought I read that somewhere but maybe I just made that up lol
  17. wiguy94
    Well other than that he has to play for those Cubs and not the Brewers!
  18. wiguy94
    No
  19. wiguy94
    Don’t even think he’s a majority owner. Think he owns at most 40% of the team.
  20. wiguy94
    16 other players also filed for arb. Some notable ones. Cubs - $15M, Kyle Tucker - $17.5M Nationals - 10.3M, Nate Lowe - $11.1M Padres - $7.325M, Michael King - $8.8M Cardinals - $2.85M, Brendan Donovan - $3.3M Red Sox - $3.5M, Jarren Duran - $4M Yankees - $2.05M, Mark Leiter Jr - $2.5M Cardinals - $2.45M, Lars Nootbaar - $2.95M Cardinals - $1.925M, Andre Pallante - $2.1M Angels - $975K, Jose Quijada - $1.14M Rays - $1.3M, Taylor Walls - $1.575M Dodgers - $2.05M, Alex Vesia - $2.35M Angels - $5.8M, Luis Rengifo - $5.95M

    I mean they have had a lot of good looking picks outside of those in that stretch. 2019 - Henderson at 42, Ortiz at 108 2020 - Westburg at 30, Mayo at 103 2021 - Norby at 41

    So we've agreed the title was clickbait because the article was speculative and showed there's really no way to know if the Brewers are getting any more money let alone $12-14M additional money.
  23. wiguy94
    It’s entirely speculative. It’s clickbait. Especially putting definitive numbers in the article.
  24. wiguy94
    I’d just lean no the entire way. Bichette being a pending FA is likely unwilling to move off SS despite being the 3rd best SS defensively in Milwaukee. Players with Bichette like approaches always concern me. Poor BB:K ratio and very reliant on BABIP. I’d guess last year is probably a one off and he will bounce back offensively especially in a contract year but I don’t think it’s a guarantee. Despite that I think Toronto will consider his trade value like he never had the down season. I don’t think they are going to move him just to move him.

    Frame the title as an absolute while the article is entirely speculation. Grade A clickbait Fanatic!
