    I was just getting ready for bed. Looks like I'm staying up a bit later tonight.

    Seigler had a league average swing rate on pitches in the zone with an 18% chase rate. The league average chase rate last year was 28.1%.

    The Mets aggressively pushed Sproat to AAA. He threw 87 innings below AAA. Him not being ready to start games in MLB last year is hardly a major fault against him. How many pitchers only threw 237 innings in the minors before they made their MLB debut? Williams had an .868 OPS and 156 wRC+ in AA last year as a 21 year old over 2 years younger than the average position player in the Eastern League.

    Not really. It’s absolutely part of the equation when it comes to pitchers. This will be Freddy’s age 30 season. Woodruff blew out his shoulder and Burnes blew out his elbow in their age 30 seasons. Surely you don’t think it’s a coincidence that Hader, Williams, and Burnes were all traded instead of riding them out for a comp pick while Adames a position player was rode out and given a QO.

    That not the worst case scenario. The worst case scenario is Freddy gets injured and we get a partial season and no comp pick.

    I've actually compared Pratt's trajectory to Turang before. Turang on the minor league side really didn't see that tick up in power until the second half of his Age 22 season in AAA. Post July 1st he slashed .296/.390/.484 for a 136 wRC+ and had 10 of his 13 HR. That second half of the season was a big reason why I thought he had more offensive upside when he debuted than most prospect people thought. I had pretty much given up on it translating heading into the 2025 season. This is part of the reason why I think Pratt will drop towards the bottom of the Top 100 if he doesn't see that uptick in bat speed and power this season. Turang was a fringe Top 100 guy most of his prospect career. Occassionally would make it into a list. I think Pratt's frame is what's giving him some leeway in the rankings because people are still projecting him to tap into more power.

    He had a 156 wRC+ at AA last year as a 21 year old? He slashed .281/.390/.477 in a league where the average slash line was .232/.318/.362 Whoops @wallus beat me to it.

    Sirota is the higher regarded prospect. Fangraphs has him at 45+. BA at 45 adjusted at 45th in the Top 100. Freeland is 45 on Fangraphs and 40 adjusted by Baseball America. Pipeline is the only place that has Freeland ranked higher but they haven't done their 2026 updates yet.

    I wouldn't be amazed by a Sproat and Williams trade but I think it's fair. I'd consider it to be better value than the Burnes return. Sproat has good stuff and a nice mix. Command hasn't been very good though. If you can get the command to improve (Brewers generally do a pretty good job with this) then I think he has a solid shot of being a mid rotation starter.

    I feel like 2026 is going to be a kind of put up or shut up season for Pratt. If he doesn't show improved bat speed and EV then I think he's going to drop closer to the bottom of the Top 100 list. They had an article showing 90th EV for the Top 100 prospects and Pratt's 101.2 was 3rd lowest.
  11. wiguy94
    That happened much earlier than I had remembered. Definitely a chance he's ready to go on day 1 if the surgery was in May.
  12. wiguy94
    Is Ramon going to be ready to play at the start of next season? Didn't he tear his achilles pretty far into the 2025 season or did we never get confirmation of that?

    Dodgers giving out $64M signing bonuses on 4 year deals while nearly a third of the league doesn’t presently have a TV provider. Awesome stuff.
  14. wiguy94
    I've changed my mind. I can answer without more context. 100% trade Freddy. Freddy Peralta would be SP4/SP5 on the Dodgers. The idea of holding onto him when the Dodgers exist as if it gives us a better chance to beat them just feels silly. Trade 1 year of Freddy to get players with more team control. Continue to try and make the playoffs every single year and hope to get hot at the right time. We can't compete with the Dodgers on paper.

    Padres are not going to trade Merrill but if they were, they wouldn't want 1 year of Freddy in return. The trade would probably need to be Made plus more.
  16. wiguy94
    Feel like he is pretty hit or miss but he's not a nobody. Padres have been rumored to be interested in Freddy but I'm not really sure there's a trade that makes much sense there because Brewers typically prioritize an MLB ready return and the Padres don't have anything like that to offer the Brewers

    He had over 700 PA at AA between 2024 and 2025. In this PA his contact rate was right around 60%.
  18. wiguy94
    I'd trade Freddy for Tolle straight up. 6/6+ years of Tolle for one of Freddy in my opinion is great value. 119 stuff+ and 68 bot stuff in his brief MLB sample last year as a 22 year old. I think Tolle has a good chance of becoming a Top 5/10 LHP in MLB. A Misiorowski-Tolle top of the rotation the next half decade makes me salivate

    Id do that Boston trade in a heart beat.
  20. wiguy94
    I think we all would, but I can’t imagine the Yankees would even trade Schlittler for Freddy straight up.
  21. wiguy94
    He would have been ranked in the Brewers Top 30 if he was still in the system just nowhere near 5th. Dorchies is ranked 15th by BA at 40 adjusted overall. Dubanewicz is ranked 26th by BA at 30 adjusted overall. Quintana is 35 adjusted overall, so in our system he would have been ranked somewhere from 16 to 26.
  22. wiguy94
    I just can't answer a raw yes or no to this question. The answer is far more nuanced than that.
  23. wiguy94
    Agreed. I don't think anyone outside of MLB owners want MiLB to contract even further.
  24. wiguy94
    -10 DRS and -13 OAA in 593 innings at 3B in 2025. Probably not competent enough with the glove at this point for the Brewers to seriously consider him for a roster spot.
  25. wiguy94
    Everyone knows minor league contraction is something that MLB owners want. Lance Brozdowski had a video talking about the possibility of the Low A level being removed during the next CBA. This had me wondering what would the Brewers do in that situation. They own their A ball club and have a brand new facility being built in Wilson. They probably love their partnership with the Timber Rattlers. My solution was Wilson would replace Biloxi as our AA affiliate and our 3 affiliates would be Wisconsin (A+), Wilson (AA), and Nashville (AAA). If you look at the map, Wilson could be in a division with Tennessee, Chattanooga, and Rocket City and it would make plenty of sense geographically. What are your guys thoughts?
