    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.

    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.

Another draft similar to ‘24 and this will be hands down the best farm system in the game. It might get there without it. This system is really balanced with positional vs pitching. Bodes well in being able to supply the big-club with what it needs to become a powerhouse later this decade.

    The Cubs are just a better team thanks to the massive offensive advantage they have over the Brewers. The Contreras finger injury has sapped his power and unless they decide to IL him, it looks like that’s just the way it’s going to be the rest of the year. The team is just devoid of power with no real hope to get better in that department for the foreseeable future. The pitching advantage they hold over the Cubs can’t make up for the massive disparity in offense between the two teams.
  12. SF70
    Outstanding analysis and one I agree with. Civale wasn’t returning anything meaningful for a team with maybe the deepest farm system in the game, so why not add big-league depth at 1B to protect from injury and possible trades of Bauer and or Hoskins at the trade-deadline.
  13. SF70
    Looking forward to seeing what our PDS can continue to do to improve Priester. He’s already made gains since he was acquired. Yophery and the pick are 3-4 years from potentially impacting the big-club. Priester has a good chance to do so next year, so we get the impact moved up when we need it more, ‘26 & ‘27.
  14. SF70
    Power bats. Preferably OF power bats, but I’ll take them at any position group. IMO, this is the biggest weakness of the system.
  15. SF70
    If we add a Urias I think it should be his brother Ramon, a much better, more consistent 3B. Consistently a 3 WAR/600 PA player and could be available once Jordan Westburg gets back to Baltimore from his rehab which is set to begin in early June. Also controlled thru next year, which, imo, fits our needs better, giving Wilken-Pratt more development time.
  16. SF70
    At worst, Lara is a nice future trade chip depending on how Payne-Anderson-Handerfrey-Fenelon & Antunez develop.
  17. SF70
    I think we keep Woodruff and offer a QO. If he accepts we likely get a better version of Woodruff 2.5 years post-surgery and if he turns it down we get the pick/pool money. A ‘26 rotation lead by Woodruff-Peralta with Misiorowski-Henderson-Patrick-Gasser-Myers and more upper minors SP depth would likely give the ‘26 team a great shot to compete for the Central.
  18. SF70
    Urias should be available closer to the deadline, with Westburg needing more time to heal. Unfortunately, should be more expensive than we think due to demand, but he’d be a perfect stopgap until we get 1 of Wilken-Pratt to the bigs. Black works for me, but it might take a stronger return than Black. I’d do Lara & Hunt, which would sting but Urias would be worth it I believe.

    Williams & Burnes trades are wayyyyyyyy too early to judge and the Smith “debacle” , while likely a mistake, it’s one EVERY team makes and fortunately for MKE, they have as deep a group of young starter arms as there is in the game. Arnold is the best GM this team has ever had. He took what his predecessor did and kicked it up a notch. The Infrastructure rebuild he completed that he and Stearns started back in 2016 is now the envy of MLB teams across the league. His last 4 prospect classes have been franchise-altering and given the team their deepest farm system in their 55+ year history. All of us just need a little more patience because we are in good hands with Matt Arnold. Fortunately, I believe Attanasio knows this and my wish is for him to give him an extension that shows the confidence he has in him to lead this team to great things ahead. Obviously, this is only an opinion, but I’m extremely confident I’m right.
  20. SF70
    Matt Arnold should be extended. IMO, he’s the best GM this team has ever had and the best small-market GM in the game. He’s mproved the prospect-procurement abilities of the team since Stearns left. 4 incredible prospect classes in a row that has set the team up to be a NL powerhouse later this decade. He’s made a good hire with Murphy, along with many more good trades than bad. Just look at the Contreras-Payamps heist. But for me it’s all about the vision. His vision of finishing-off what could be the best SM infrastructure in baseball and going full bore with prospect-procurement. The strategy of building the best young farm system in baseball with upside positionals and HS/JC projectable pitching. What we have now is the best young farm in the game and by a lot. We are fortunate to have him.

    Mid-ninties at 18 likely portends higher velo moving forward and one of the most exciting IFA pitching talents we’ve had in a while. Looking forward to seeing the pitching signed in the ‘25 class. Read we might have another big arm or two that we can follow when the DSL starts next month.
  22. SF70
    Yeah, I think Hardin is a man pitching to boys at A+. Probably should get bumped up to face better hitting.
  23. SF70
    Great day for those following this team’s system, only to be topped next month when the DSL season begins and we get to follow all 7 of our minor-league teams. Excited to see Boeve & Hall begin their rehabs. Excited to see the rest of the best of last years DSL class make their stateside debuts along with the HS projectables from the ‘24 draft-class.

Lots of future top 100 prospects. Top 5 should all be top 60 when the next rankings come out. Top 3-5 system now. Best young farm in the game. I have Woodward as a top 4 pitcher even though he’s down with TJ due to his stuff, when healthy, is probably the best in the system besides Misiorowski.
  25. SF70
    Probably should be at Wisconsin soon. He can take Adamczewski with him.
