    Yeah, really looking forward to Quero getting another offseason past his surgery and further strengthening of his shoulder coming into ST. Same with Boeve.
  2. SF70
    Yeah like next year again. Injuries have kept him from rotationing. Health-willing they should try again next ST. His stuff lends itself to starting — 4 plus pitches — extreme GB rate. Command is always the last to come and it should eventually with consistent starts. Without command he’s still a mid-rotation starter, with it, a #1 starter.

    Both of your retorts to me were condescending. I must have really struck a nerve, huh? I’ve already explained my reasoning behind my take on the Cortez trade, and in detail, so I’m not going to re-state what I’ve already said. Time for me to move on.
  4. SF70
    Really like your posts over the years and agree with just about every one of them but disagree with your take here. Also, really don’t like the tone you took with me — rather confrontational imo, and unnecessary. Bottom-line for me — either you trust the FO on this one or you don’t — I do and you don’t and that’s fine.

    Guessing Nestor wouldn’t have been too happy pitching out of the team’s bullpen. Don’t think the team wanted to disrupt the current rotation to make room for Cortez. I’ll take Patrick over Nestor as the team’s 6th starter anyhow. Besides, his elbow is a ticking time-bomb. You are also ignoring why the team targeted Lockridge in the first place. They needed a CF that could play for the big-club the month of August with Chourio down, Frelick dinged-up, Collins planned paternity and Perkins still not running at full speed. They deemed Quintana expendable. The need for today with this WS contending team supersedes retaining a prospect, at best, 4 years from the bigs, and at worst, too large a hole in his bat to ever get to the bigs as more than a utility player. Surprised at the lack of deference to the best FO in the game by some over this trade-deadline move.

    Agree with your take here. Organizational needs take precedence and with so much young prospect talent and unusually large numbers of injuries to top positional prospects that has left rosters short-handed at times, but that’s ok in the grand scheme of what the farm is for — development of prospect, talent for the big league team.
  7. SF70
    No one can top what Selig did with creating the Brewers and then saving the franchise getting MP built and revenue-sharing for the small-market teams, so I agree with your take here completely. For Attanasio to forgo naming-rights revenue seems too much to ask of him anyhow.
  8. SF70
    Imo, the team decided Lockridge was more important NOW to the team with Chourio down, Frelick dinged-up and Collins planned paternity. They wanted the BL OF depth (CF ability) and were willing to part with SS prospect depth. Immaterial was probably a poor choice of word. IMO, Quintana was always going to be a trade-chip (with Made-Pena the same age and much better SS prospects) and Preller was enamored with Quintana. Lockridge is now useful CF depth for not just this time down OF’s but for the next year or two as well.
  9. SF70
    Well for whatever reason the Brewers didn’t think Oliva was Lockridge’s “near clone”. If Cortez makes it to the postseason healthy, I doubt he even makes the Padres playoff roster. Quintana is immaterial with the team’s among the best in baseball minor-league SS depth.
  10. SF70
    While Turang’s power should increase moving-forward, his defense & BR could continue to regress some. I think a 5-7 WAR Turang thru his prime is a fair projection.
  11. SF70
    Assuming you meant Pena, not Perez. While both or one of Made-Pena could be ready in 2 years, you also have to account for a year or two of big-league development that would need to take place and the team might want a fully developed Brice Turang as one of the leaders of the late-decade Brewers. SS/3B are also options for Made-Pena.
  12. SF70
    Pipeline city. Despite the disappointment of the big bonus signings from this last class (Fenelon-Antunez-Acosta), there is still some nice performances on both sides of the ball that can still make the ‘25 class a success. The ‘24 class was a once in a generation class and no class can stand up to that one. Looking forward to seeing this next class from baseball’s best international system.
  13. SF70
    He looks like a #3 pick in the draft to me. Hitting talent is starting to show itself. I’m going to assume we now have a power bat in the middle of our lineup for the next 2+ years — fixes our biggest roster hole (big bat) and at a price we can afford. What a time to be a Brewers fan.
  14. SF70
    So excited for the next 5-10 years of Brewers baseball. The ‘26 team should be tremendous with Turang-Frelick entering their prime, Chourio his junior year, Collins-Ortiz-Perkins, another years experience, so positionally very strong. The young starters will have less innings restrictions, the depth, impressive. Bullpen should be typically strong will myriad options. WS contender.
  15. SF70
    Yeah Quero needs to play in AAA and then a full offseason strengthening his shoulder before he sees MKE. Hopefully he’s all the way back entering ST next year and can start the season out in MKE.
  16. SF70
    “I never heard such a continuous roar during a regular season game” — Bob Carpenter. I was also at that game and the crowd was standing and yelling throughout the entire bottom of the 9th. This was something Brewers fans took pride in during the first 20-25 years of the team. Standing and yelling in an attempt to will the team to victory. Sorry to say that’s been lost, for whatever reason. Fan enthusiasm (at the games) has waned over the years for whatever reason. Too bad, because it really does get the team fired up and performing better.
  17. SF70
    Absolutely. Even though the system is ranked #1, it’s still a sleeping giant of a system because of what you alluded to and also with the abnormal number of injuries to the team’s top positional prospects holding many back. Getting healthier seasons from the likes of Wilken-Dinges-Payne-Adamczewski-Adams and having another offseason for Quero-Boeve to get their shoulders stronger gives this system a chance to be truly monstrous next year. Then on top of all that potential, we get Woodward-Knoth-Galindez-Knarr back and Broughton rehabbed from his TJ.
  18. SF70
    We now have the most prestigious of the prospect sites ranking our system the best in baseball, confirming what many of us have thought for some time. So we now have the reigning executive of the year in Matt Arnold — the best farm system in baseball — the best record in big-league baseball — a top-tier infrastructure — all of this thanks to Attanasio-Stearns-Arnold & co. The best MLB organization now belongs to the MKE Brewers and this isn’t going to be a short-term thing either. Incredible time to be a Brewers fan and goodness gracious we deserve this.
  19. SF70
    The Cubs have a boatload of underperforming positional players that when they start regressing to the mean, will score enough runs to be dangerous again, especially when they get Taillon back next Monday. Not saying they overtake MKE, but I believe they can win enough games the rest of the year to challenge for the top WC spot.
  20. SF70
    Mitchell isn’t making the starting lineup over Chourio-Collins-Frelick. Then we have Perkins as the 4th OF, with an occasional start from Yelich, so…….. Mitchell gets stashed in AAA to hopefully establish a track-record of health and performance for future trade purposes and depth. That, or he gets traded this offseason. He doesn’t fit the big-league team with Collins rise, Perkins incredible defense and extra depth with the Lockridge acquisition.
  21. SF70
    Fortunately there are limits to the poaching on a yearly basis, and I have to believe Attanasio has a good grasp on who he needs to keep (extend/promote) and who he can do without. Like Tampa, this organization has a deep bench. The hard part has been done, the infrastructure completed. The fun has begun. The golden age of Brewers fandom is upon us.
  22. SF70
    Looking at that AA lineup with the BL team’s controlled positional core it is just an amazing time to be a Brewers fan. Goodness gracious.
  23. SF70
    Absolutely is. Hoyer & Counsell are perfect for each other. Arnold can continue to school Jed, while Murphy can continue to do the same with Counsell. Counsell thinking the grass was greener in Chicago will go down as an epic mistake in judgement.
  24. SF70
    I’d like to see the team offer an extension to Turang. Same with Frelick, who also is going to add power to his game moving-forward. Both could end up as 20/year HR hitters with above average hit tools, speed and plus defense. 5+ WAR players. Add money thru arby and buy out 1-2 years of FA.
  25. SF70
    A. Arnold & co decided not to disrupt the amazing 2025 team chemistry they’ve established. They love the defense Ortiz provides and very likely don’t think it’s worth upgrading from Monasterio and disturbing said team chemistry. Adding Lockridge for Jorge Quintana makes sense with the news of Chourio’s potentially being out a month or longer. Adding Shelby Miller without giving up any prospects, probably the best single move of any team at the trade deadline. This team knows their players and what they have in those players better than anybody.
