    I think we’ll find out in ST. If he comes to camp 10-15 lbs lighter and in great shape, then yeah, i think we see a resurgent Hoskins.

    Outstanding podcasts gentlemen! Incredible amount of information on the system as a whole. Didn’t think I could get more excited about this systems talent-level, but after listening to the both of you for 13+ hours, or whatever it was, I actually am. And Joseph, I couldn’t agree more with your years-old statement of us fans being in the golden age of Brewers fandom. We are so fortunate to have an owner sharp enough to hire the best FO talent in the game, and smart enough to listen to that FO talent with investing in infrastructure. Each season that goes by it becomes more and more apparent we have the best small-market FO in the game and among the best in all of baseball. This next decade of being a Brewers fan is really going to be something special.

    Consistently winning WITHOUT an elite infrastructure — Our infrastructure rebuild was completed, I would argue, when we opened our state of the art Dominican Academy in 2023. We need to maintain financial-flexibility while we accumulate impact prospect talent thru our elite prospect-procurement systems. Steady as she goes and later this decade we will have as much talent as any team in baseball not named the Dodgers. In the meantime we can still win division titles and possibly get hot and lucky one year and still win it all.

    $10-15M less in local TV revenue matters. When all is said and done, imo, the OD payroll will be close to where it was last year on OD, with money set aside to be used at the trade-deadline, just like last year when they added payroll.
  5. SF70
    With regards to your last paragraph — some of us that think we can win without spending are convinced our FO has figured out a way to win without spending a bottom-half or even bottom third payroll. They’ve won without a strong infrastructure and now that they have that, the future looks brighter than ever, as Aram & Jack of ‘Just Baseball’ confirmed by ranking MKE 3rd in all of baseball in the best 5 year future category. Behind large-markets LAD & Boston, and ahead of the Yankees & Mets. Just think about that ranking for a minute. Selfishly I don’t want a hard cap or fundamental changes to the game’s financial structure, at least not while we have the best SM FO & infrastructure currently in the MLB.
  6. SF70
    Absolutely. He mentioned getting pushback on twitter for his naming MKE the best farm in the game, but he said no team has the potential impactful prospects we do, Made-Bitonti, ect. For both of Aram & Jack to list us 3rd in the bright future category, ahead of the Stearns led NYM with their trillions, and the only small-market team, is gutsy and definitely ahead of the curve.
  7. SF70
    Not surprised at all actually. Aram is super sharp and has done his homework studying up on this team’s FO, prospect-procurement systems, farm system and the rest of the team’s infrastructure. Some of us don’t understand why more evaluators don’t see things the way he does. He’s ahead of the curve, without a doubt.
  8. SF70
    And Ethan Small, who this offseason has signed a minor-league deal with the SFG, but busted with MKE.
  9. SF70
    Right now the Brewers have a big bullpen advantage, but the Cubs have $40M yet to spend to touch the first tax threshold, which is where Ricketts said they should end up, but also said they could save room for additional payroll at the trade-deadline — so, I think they could add $30M in bullpen arms to close the gap between them and MKE in that regard. The Brewers should add 3B help before OD to shore up their only real weakness, and should have preserved financial-flexibility to be able to also add payroll at the trade-deadline if needed. When all is said and done this should be an outstanding race for the Central title between these 2 teams, with the Reds, depending on bullpen additions, also having an outside chance to be there at the end. I’m going with MKE because of their best in baseball front office.
  10. SF70
    This ownership group has invested untold millions into making our infrastructure as good or better than any in the game. This has lead to having the best international prospect-procurement system in the game which in turn has given us Quero-Chourio-YRod-Made-Pena and boatloads of potential impact positional talent. Our domestic draft department had the #1 rated class in baseball in 2023 with last year’s class having the top valued first round pick in the draft. In 7 months that department gets 5 top 68 picks and $17M+ to potentially have another franchise-altering draft-class that should then give us the deepest, most impactful farm system in the game. This is why the team is winning a WS or 2 over the next decade. Impact talent accumulation.
  11. SF70
    He’ll blow his elbow out soon enough, all Dodgers pitchers eventually have arm injuries. The X on the LAD uniform just keeps getting bigger.
  12. SF70
    This class hammers home just how elite our international department is. This is going to lead to an organization, later this decade, with positional talent the equal to, or even possibly surpassing the behemoth payroll teams. Chourio was the first, but won’t be the last, to accept extension offers from this team. The young ages combined with being from poor countries should lead to more key talent getting locked up thru all of their prime performance years and give the team 8-10 years of control. I’m in awe of what this team’s FO has been able to accomplish with their infrastructure in such a short time. I’m expecting the team’s domestic draft department to continue to add large numbers of projectable HS arms thru the draft that the pitching development system can develop into starter arms capable of forming an elite rotation that matches our elite position talent later this decade. Just need to be patient.
  13. SF70
    Yeah after ready BA’s scouting reports on our class, I’m totally stoked, especially with the OF’s and a couple of their pitchers.
  14. SF70
    With the team’s SOTA Dominican Academy, scouting system and contacts, I’m expecting another top class, maybe not the BIB like last years class, but up there with anybody’s. Like them signing athletic, power-hitting OF’s with their top 2 bonus picks, just what the farm needs for balance.
  15. SF70
    No it’s not an option. Arbitration hearings are all-out wars with the ruling all that matters. Contreras knows this so if he’s going to the hearing and can’t be a big boy about what he hears, then it’s on him, just like it was on Burnes, who couldn’t keep his mouth shut.
  16. SF70
    Without a trade, they’d probably have to option Perkins to get Grichuk’s lefty-killing bat in there
  17. SF70
    I’d like the team to just continue to be smart with their money. Not sure if there’s a FA worth adding that can move the needle with the team, but sure maybe a Grichuk or Moncada addition would work if both can be had on 1 year deals. Otherwise, preserving financial-flexibility throughout the season/trade-deadline to potentially add payroll should be a priority along with investing in infrastructure, where we get the best bang for the buck.
  18. SF70
    Absolutely love the top 2 prospects being OF’s with power potential, the most glaring organizational weakness, at least positionally, imo.
  19. SF70
    Brewers just starting to get recognized for their powerhouse infrastructure is nice to see since it’s in its early stages. I think over the coming years we’ll see MKE dominate most of these categories with more great classes added along with the lag diminishing.
  20. SF70
    They get Gasser back 100% by OD of ‘26. Between Hunt-Patrick-Henderson-CRod-Wichrowski they should get the back end of the rotation filled out at worst, and maybe one becomes more of a 2/3. Myers is solid and they have upside if one of Ashby-Hall-Misiorowski breaks-out. That doesn’t include the 23 pitchers brought in from the last 2 draft-classes currently being developed, most of which are starters, or any potential high-draft picks from next July’s draft-class they could add. Then of course there could also be trades that bring in SP from outside the organization. Bottom-line — this FO knows pitching better than most teams and I just don’t see them without a well better than average starting staff moving-forward.
  21. SF70
    Black is not a 3B.
  22. SF70
    Agree with you here. I think extension’s will get offered to the best and youngest of this team’s incredible teenage talent plus Quero, so financial-flexibility will be priority #1. To be blunt, I also think the FO can hardly control their excitement over this monstrous infrastructure they have created since late 2015. They already have the best farm in the game and all from their last 3 classes (‘23 draft), (‘24 IFA) & (‘24 draft). My guess is they expect another great IFA class in 2 weeks and another great draft next July with 6 top picks and $17M+ to spend. I think they plan on being the most talented team in baseball from 2027-2033. Hyperbole? No way, not with having created 2 of the best in baseball classes (‘23 draft-class & ‘24 IFA class) and maybe the most underrated class in baseball (‘24 draft-class), back to back to back. Aram & Jack are so right when they said this teams prospect-procurement & development is “like a well-oiled machine”
  23. SF70
    Try hard to trade some of their best in baseball prospect depth to upgrade the roster for ‘25 & ‘26. Lara-Areinamo-O’Rae-Baez-Guilarte-Black, even YRod can go for the right player. Everyone else but low minors SP’s not named Letson-Knoth-Woodward can also go.
  24. SF70
    They both agreed the team would have 6 top 100 prospects. This along with saying the farm is the deepest in all of baseball.
  25. SF70
    “May have the best farm system in Major-League baseball going into the 2025 season”. Love these guys. Not afraid to tell it the way it is, even with one of the youngest farm systems in the game that doesn’t have impact talent close to the bigs. This system is special — incredibly deep, but also lots of potential impact talent. Wait until the pitchers drafted the last 2 years have more time to work with the PDS. And then we have next years draft with record-breaking draft-capital — it’s hard to put into words how excited I am to be a Brewers fan the rest of this decade and beyond.
