    The issue with this is that 3 of the 4 stats are accumulation stats not rate based and the one that is rate based is an outdated defensive metric.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
  11. wiguy94
    Well other than that he has to play for those Cubs and not the Brewers!
  12. wiguy94
    No
  13. wiguy94
    Don’t even think he’s a majority owner. Think he owns at most 40% of the team.
  14. 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.
  17. wiguy94
    It’s entirely speculative. It’s clickbait. Especially putting definitive numbers in the article.
  18. 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!

    Here's a good video on Sasaki. Sounds like he's far more of a developmental arm than a sure thing ace like many have spoken about him as.

    Brewers voted tied for third (with Baltimore) at 10% for best job drafting behind LAD (16%) and Boston (14%) Brewers voted third at 19.1% for best in IFA market behind Padres (34%) and Dodgers (23.4%) Brewers voted third at 6.3% for best acquiring prospects in trades behind Tampa (68.8%) and Washington (8.3%) Brewers voted first at 16% for most underrated farm system Brewers voted tied for fifth (with Boston, LAD, Seattle, St. Louis, Tampa, Toronto) at 4% for hoards prospects the most behind Baltimore (18%), Cleveland (16%), Colorado and Pittsburgh (10%) Brewers received votes for develops pitchers best Brewers voted fifth at 4% for develops hitters best behind Baltimore and Boston (30%), LAD (22%), Cleveland (6%) Brewers voted third at 12% for finding and developing sleeper prospects behind LAD (20%) and Tampa (16%)

    Scooter has single-handedly made me pretty much completely avoid this forum because all he does is spam unrealistic slop.
  23. wiguy94
    There are some pretty huge red flags with Hye-seong Kim. Massive GB rates. Massive BABIP. A good MLB comp is probably Nicky Lopez who outside of a 104 wRC+ in 2022 hasn't topped 77 wRC+ in another season. Brewers already have enough light power, speed/glove guys on the 40-man. Did we really need or even want another?
  24. wiguy94
    Yeah this is a good point as well. Verlander and Scherzer are likely sticking around for 2 reasons. To make more money and to win another WS. The Brewers aren’t spenders and I don’t think players in the league view the Brewers as realistic WS contenders even with our recent division dominance.
  25. wiguy94
    Brewers aren't going to pony up the money to sign either of these very old and very injury prone at this point pitchers. Not realistic at all.
