    I think they have at least 1M in savings, maybe more. And my guess is with senior signs and the like coming up, they should get enough cash to really have some fun adding special talent today, and most likely with their 11-20 picks, yet again.
  2. SF70
    With the current state of the team’s amateur drafting prowess (among the best in baseball) I believe they view the return on investment in this realm an advantage they have over most or all of the rest of baseball and as a small-market team, their best opportunity to become talent-laden and keep up with the behemoths. IMO, they saw a pitcher they could improve (Priester) and the cost of acquisition was the draft-pick, nothing more or nothing less than the desire to get a 6 years controlled potential mid-rotation starter into the organization.
  3. SF70
    Actually Brewers are 10th in bonus $ now, post-Priester trade. Would have been well inside the top 10 if not for the trade.

    Over the moon with these lefties. And now you mention Woodward, my favorite stuff arm in our system. Wow, no words.
  5. SF70
    System weaknesses getting fixed early in the draft. Power bats. Power bat potential. LHP.
  6. SF70
    He’s a lefty. We need lefties.
  7. SF70
    There’s a power bat. Love the pick. Doesn’t chase. Great swing decisions. Super happy.
  8. SF70
    Woodruff looks to be definitely worth the QO, but not sure about the 3/60. Big difference between 1 and 3 years at 33 years old. for this small-market team, Besides i think both are moot with the industry likely to get him a 4-5 year $80-100M+ contract this coming offseason.
  9. SF70
    O’Hearn has been a good hitter going on 3 years in a row, with OPS+’s of 120-125-140 respectively. He would be an upgrade at 1B and wouldn’t break the bank being a rental acquisition.
  10. SF70
    Underrated to us but plenty of scouts have had eyes on Lara for what now, 3.5 years including last falls AFL. I think his value to 90% of the team’s around the league would be greater than it would be to us since we have 4 controlled plus fielding CF at the BL level. Lara is an easy top 10 prospect in most organizations besides ours.
  11. SF70
    Imo, Lara would be the perfect trade candidate at this years trade-deadline or offseason if the team can add a controllable positional upgrade. He’s likely not going to add power to his skill-set, which is what MKE needs in its OF, at least in my opinion, but his value to clubs around the game should be huge, with the dearth of plus speed, plus plus fielding CF prospects with a nice hit-tool.
  12. SF70
    I trust the Brewers internal evaluations of their prospects enough that if they feel the need to trade away a Made or Pena or Pratt for a multiple year controllable I’ll be good with that. IMO, the team has an opportunity to get to a powerhouse team before 2028 if they trade from their BIB farm, and that powerhouse could potentially start at this years deadline with the team acquiring the right controllable positional talent. Not expecting that to happen, but if it does, this prospect-hugger won’t be screaming about the return being prohibitive.
  13. SF70
    And at a system position of need. OF, and more specifically, power OF bat. With Handelfrey, we now have 3 potential OF’s with power potential moving-forward, all at low A or rookie league, which is tolerable, with the team having Chourio (8+ years), Frelick (4+), Mitchell (3+) controlled for the foreseeable future, along with Lara, who imo, would be a nice trade-chip. Hoping to add to this, imo, system weakness, Sun/Mon. Selfishly hoping it’s from the college realm that can get ahead of the trio, but I’ll take another power OF bat anywhere we can get them.
  14. SF70
    McCalvy reported Cortez having more soreness than normal after his rehab start, although he’s supposedly still on schedule to make his next start. Count me as skeptical we get anything more out of him this year.
  15. SF70
    This organization’s PDS will turn what appear to be back-enders into mids, and mids to uppers, I think we can bet on that. The pitching scouting staff, both pro & amateur, have done an amazing job adding arms that the PD staff can improve. Just in the last 2 draft-classes the team has added what, 24 pitchers (if we include UFA Hunt). That’s more volume than has ever been added in a 2 year period of time at least since the draft went to 20 rounds. I think it’s fair to feel “over-optimistic” regarding what this team is accomplishing with organizational starting pitching depth.
  16. SF70
    Plus more upper-minors depth with Crow-Kuehner-Hunt-Wichrowski-Hardin. And because of that depth — I’m putting Peralta up for the highest bidder and IF (IF) we can get an impact BL ready power bat + that blows the team away, I’m trading Freddy. 2026 can be a special year for this team with an already deep, controlled rotation going into the offseason, plus what should be another strong bullpen. On the other side of the ball, we get another years development from Frelick-Turang-Ortiz-Chourio-Durbin and what should be a healthy Contreras. The glaring weakness of the team is lack of power and if dangling Peralta to the highest bidder this deadline can get us a young power bat then I’m pulling the trigger.
  17. SF70
    None of what you list as a “Judgement point” matters in relation to what Arnold has done already — in completing the team’s among the best in baseball infrastructure. That matters more than individual moves made by Arnold & co, of which they nail many more than they don’t, and will continue to do so, based on the track-record.
  18. SF70
    The Brewers ‘24 draft-class has to be one of the most underrated classes in baseball. Payne-Burke-Dinges on the positional side, with a stable of arms too large to list on the other side of the ball. Can’t imagine a team with more legit starter arm depth throughout their organization from the bigs on thru the DSL. Multiple waves that should hit the bigs over the next 3-4 years that should allow for trades of this depth and that still lead to a BL ready stable of 10+ starter arms starting late next season. Having this type of rotational depth will protect this team from the inevitable arm injuries like no other team in baseball.
  19. SF70
    Keep & develop the Made’s & Peña’s to add to Chourio so later this decade the team can have multiple impactful positionals playing together for a half-decade or more. Now isn’t the right time to empty the farm to add 1 player in a “go for it” move. Patience will be rewarded.
  20. SF70
    IMO, the most realistic upgrade for this team to improve the offense would be at 1B. Rental bats O’Hearn or Naylor vs RHP should do the trick. Tolerable returns from baseball’s deepest farm system probably worth it.
  21. SF70
    A 10 year extension wouldn’t be long enough for Matt Arnold, who not only is the best GM in Brewers history, but also the best small-market GM in all of baseball. He’s taken what his predecessor did (second-best GM in Brewers history) and kicked it up multiple notches, especially with pitching-development and draft & development, of which MKE has become the gold standard in the industry. The team now has as good of a young & controlled big-league core as there is in baseball along with as deep a group of controlled starter arms as there is in the game. Then on top of all that young major-league talent they have a burgeoning powerhouse farm system with impact talent on both sides of the ball that will transfer to MKE over the next 4-5 years that is the envy of baseball. Another good to great draft in 10 days and this organization will be as talent-laden as any in the game and move towards a top 2-3 team in baseball before the end of this decade.
  22. SF70
    I’m adding a rental like O’hearn or Naylor to play 1B vs RHP. We have the minor-league depth so let’s use it to upgrade the lineup in a way that doesn’t hurt the team’s speed and baserunning advantage. Hoskins vs LHP only.
  23. SF70
    Jack & Arem had us with the 3rd best 5-year future in baseball behind LAD & Boston, respectively. Boston lost Devers and MKE had Misiorowski breakout to the best pitching prospect in baseball since their rankings, so it will interesting to see if MKE can move up a step. No matter, I agree with you, 2027-2031 is going to be an incredible time to be a Brewers fan, and if their among the best in baseball prospect-procurement abilities hold over the next few years it could be closer to a decade of excellence and baseball’s first small-market dynasty.
  24. SF70
    They can offer an extension that protects from the TJ that Misiorowski will eventually need. It adds a year at a set salary when he misses the year rehabbing from his TJ. Numerous extensions have this clause written in.
  25. SF70
    Yeah, if LaViolette is still there at #20 I think we have to take him. Power OF bats is this systems #1 weakness, imo, and getting his 65 grade power into the system would help mitigate the OF power void. I believe this is a critical draft for the team and hoping to see a college positional that can start out at Wisconsin, getting ahead of the incredible teenage positionals this team has in the lower minors. Regardless, another draft similar to 2024, which, imo, was incredibly underrated, should give this system enough talent to remain a force for many years ahead.
