  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. Going to be an interesting offseason with virtually the entire team returning but for Woodruff-Hoskins-Quintana. Guessing payroll will be near the same or less so not expecting the team to add a higher priced FA with Arby raises, including Vaughn’s $6-7M, eating up most or all the savings on Hoskins. The team having the best and deepest farm system in the game will come into play at some point and that time could be next offseason that adds controllable talent if needed. Next year’s team should be a WS favorite with having a mostly 3-4 years experienced, prime-aged, peaking team positionally with boatloads of controlled SP, and another potentially great bullpen.
  11. It wasn’t a hit that was needed to advance last season — it was Williams just doing his job. The evidence of our FO being the best in this game has reached critical mass this past year. Another executive of the year award on top of last year’s EOY, should, but probably still won’t silence the critics. Unbelievable.
  12. This is my favorite class maybe ever. The pitching added is better than in ‘23 or ‘24, my opinion, and the 2 positionals taken early have good hitting upside with power potential. HS pitchers watching what this team has been doing with their pitching development have to be salivating over the prospect of being drafted by this organization. Convinced the team is going to continue to draft pitching each and every draft until they have so much organizational pitching they can’t develop them all. A true pitching factory. They can supply teams around the game with some of their pitching in exchange for positional talent we need.
  13. Read Liveforoctober’s post. Explanation pretty clear.
  14. Trade Quintana. His command just isn’t good enough. His moxie & grit is commendable, but he doesn’t have the upside of Cortez.
  15. Disagree on your potential lack of depth take without Underwood. Getting the 2 lefties from the early rounds and Flores adds plenty of upside pitching, imo, to an already stacked upper and lower minors system. Arm talent in this system is as deep as any team in baseball, imo.
  16. Not at all, some of us can look past the trees and see the big, beautiful forest. Matt Arnold earned executive of the year last season on behalf of the MKE Brewers for the 2024 season. He and the team are trending to earn it again for the second year in a row, which would be an unprecedented feat. You have no retort for this that will make any logical sense because there isn’t any. This alone makes the MKE Brewers THE best organization in baseball. Mark Attanasio has done the most important thing he can do as the owner of baseball’s SMALLEST-market team — hire the right people to run it, listen to what they want you to do (massive investments in infrastructure), and stay out of the way. The best FO in the game resides in MKE and as such doesn’t deserve criticism from its fans. They deserve patience from their fans for having a grand plan and a process for that plan. It’s taken a decade for most fans to see that this plan is coming to fruition slowly but surely. We now have as good or better infrastructure as any in the game. We have as good of a farm system as there is in this game. We have more solid or better, 5-6 years controlled BL starting pitching as any team in baseball. We also have a 3-6 years controlled, playoff-worthy positional core. We have everything a team needs to have as good of a 5+ year future as any team in baseball. Patience is all that is needed. Patience to let our elite FO do what they think is needed to win a WS in the near future.
  17. While not signing Underwood is disappointing, that should potentially leave enough money to really go after Cadiz, a player that the system imo, needs more than another pitcher. The pitching signed thru the first 10 rounds is already stronger than what we signed in the last 2 drafts 1-10. Cadiz, Hughes & Lauridsen would make for a nice trio of talent.
  18. Anyone following this team has to now know we are THE best organization in baseball. Period. And as such, this FO doesn’t deserve criticism from its fans, not when each and every year the organization gets stronger. Just shush, and let them do their thing. They obviously know what to do or we wouldn’t be the best organization in baseball, now would we. Mr Big Red — stop complaining about the past and just sit back, relax, and this team’s FO continue to school MLB, and appreciate what we have and where we’re going.
  19. Yes, they are the best organization in baseball. And with their combination of controlled BL core, BIB prospect-procurement and development, monstrous farm system, and elite FO, it’s likely to stay that way for a while. This next 5-10 years is going to be a blast.
  20. Jesus MadeLuis PenaCooper PrattJeferson QueroLogan HendersonAndrew FischerBraylon PayneMarco DingesRobert GasserBrock WilkenBishop LetsonJosh AdamczewskiLuke AdamsEric BitontiBlake BurkeMike BoeveLuis LaraBryce MeccageBrady EbelJason Woodward This is a farm system that should help make an eventual WS champion. Absolutely monstrous.
  21. This is a year to spend prospect capital to improve the BL team with the bye and home field advantage throughout the playoffs within reach. Agree the team has tons of organizational SP depth that they won’t miss. They also have tons of minor-league IF depth they also won’t miss. Rental upgrades seems like the way to go. 1B-3B-utility IF-HL bullpen arm. Either or even all of them can be addressed without gutting the team’s minor-league system.
  22. Then keep Peralta and go with a ‘26 rotation of: Peralta-Misiorowski-Ashby-Hall-Henderson -Patrick or Myers-Priester-Gasser-Kuehner-CRod and a handful of solid options in the upper minors. 10-15 deep should be enough depth.
  23. Perfect trade idea Jake. Baltimore needs controllable starting pitching more than just about any team out there so they are the perfect match for trading with. O’Hearn & Soto would give MKE a huge boost in talent and with a Willie Castro addition, make them a big-time WS contender, and potential WS favorite. O’Hearn & Soto to MKE for: Patrick or Myers & Crow Castro to MKE for: Areinamo & Dubanewicz
  24. With Brock not signing, I’m hoping to get all 3 of the positionals left signed 11-20. Hughes-Mills & Cadiz. Cadiz might be a tough one, but positional upside like his might be more important to add to the system than a couple more pitchers with the state of the arm talent throughout the farm.
  25. I picked dreaming of next years team. • A healthy Contreras • Less innings limits on their starters • Another years development from their young core • Potentially everyone back except Woodruff & Hoskins • A full offseason to fix weaknesses • A monstrous farm system with more upper minors positional talent than they’ve had since Turang-Frelick-Mitchell.
