Bohm has improved in the box in his junior and senior years. 107 &115 wRC+ and will play the next 2 years at age 28 & 29, prime performance years with veteran playoff experience. And as Sveum has already pointed out, crushes LHP, the team’s Achilles heal. Last year he improved his defense to a smidgen above average and if the team thinks that can be maintained the next 2 years, this is a 3+ WAR 3B that helps this offensive vs LHP in a big way, which considering their work vs lefties can’t be discounted. Imo, the team see’s one of Pratt-Made likely taking over 3B in 2027, and needs not just a stopgap 3B but an above average one at that.
-
Not great at 3B, but improved over his previous play last season, enough to get him over 3 WAR.
-
Black’s best defensive position is OF (CF/LF). None of us have any idea what the Phillies think of Black, for all we know they like him better than Frelick, especially with an extra control year.
-
Williams & Black for: Bohm & Wen Hui Pan (RHP) We get a 3–3.5 WAR (last year) 3B at $8M this season and ~$12M next season plus a big armed pitching prospect that throws upper 90’s with a nasty splitter we can bullpen. Also been reported the Phillies want to improve their pen and OF. If they like Black, this could be the team to deal with.

Which DSL Hitters Will Be Coming Stateside? Potentially a Lot
SF70 commented on CheeseheadInQC's blog entry in Fun with numbers
Incredible job with the information and analysis provided. This class is far and away the best IFA class in baseball, which statistically you showed to be more than just opinion. The last 3 prospect-procurement classes have added enough talent to give this team as deep a group of prospect talent as they’ve ever had and along with Tampa, as deep a farm as there is in this game. And then we have next year’s 5 top 68 pick/$17M in pool money draft-class to look forward to. Incredible time to be Brewers fan.- 7 comments

If Made does for Carolina what he did in the DSL, he’ll not only be our #1 prospect, but quite possibly the #1 prospect in baseball.
-
We haven’t had a prospect like Made since Chourio. He has to be our #1 prospect on potential superstardom alone, right?
-
Agree with Sveum that he doesn’t seem to care about the money. Just too many reasons for him to go to LAD. Fellow countrymen — Large Asian community — Weather — Play with the most talented team in the game.
-
I would be flabbergasted if he doesn’t want to play baseball in LA and for the Dodgers with his fellow countrymen Yamamoto & Ohtani.
-
Can’t be the team’s #1 prospect with such a high reliever risk can he?
-
Go get Alec Bohm. Improved 3B defense last season raises his floor and in the middle of his prime for the next 2 years still gives him some upside. Phillies in likely go for it mode — need a closer and an OF. Williams and Black seem like they might work. Maybe a prospect coming back to us as well to even things out. Adding a 3+ WAR 3B to the team for $20M total dollars until we get to Pratt-Made seems like a realistic option to me.
-
Provided he gets back to his pre-injury form and continues his offensive improvement, this is the catcher to extend. With his low bonus, imo, giving the team a better opportunity to lock him up through all of his prime. Having a top 5 catcher for a dozen years including 4 with Contreras would be quite the advantage.
-
The team has 24 pitchers they’ve drafted in the last 2 years currently being developed. They have SP in the upper minors, some of which are poised to debut this season. They lose Woodruff and Civale after this season. They have little money to add quality veteran SP. They are capable of winning a title each of the next 2 years provided they have a couple of durable, veteran starters, and imo, Peralta should be one of them. Keep Hoskins in his contract year thinking he improves over last season and because he has valuable power and veteran leadership this young team can use. I like some of your trade ideas, just not this one.
-
Why trade Peralta? At $8M the next 2 years and still in his sweet-spot prime, he’s perfect for this team. He’s durable and can be counted on for 30 starts/year. We can ride him for the pick and get another draft with extra capital for our superior domestic draft department. In addition, our farm system has enormous prospect depth to the point we really don’t need to orchestrate any sell-off of individual players unless they are at extreme depth positions (Williams). Veteran prime-aged, mid-rotation starters at well below market-value are rare and we are fortunate to have one in Freddy.
-
Watching Pratt in some of his work-out videos last offseason has me pretty confident in his adding more strength and good weight in these coming offseasons, so I believe the power will eventually come. If that power gets realized, this team will have some real impact talent on the left-side of the IF later this decade with Pratt-Made-Pena.
-
Package Black, hold the rest. Love the “small-market would be dynasty” talk.
-
Not sure about Crow, but a case can be made to roster the other 4 for sure. I don’t see a team keeping Crow on their roster next year. He needs at least a year in the upper minors imo. Patrick & Henderson are needed SP depth, Smith can bullpen shuttle and EMJ has huge upside after what he showed in the second-half of last year.
-
Now let’s promote him to POBO and extend the guy for half a decade. Then promote 1 of Mueller-Kleine-Hudgins to GM.
-
Hadn’t really thought of that before. All I know is the job the team’s amateur scouts have done with baseball’s last 3 signing classes has been otherworldly. And not just the ‘23 draft and ‘24 IFA classes, but Payne taking-off early and Burke getting some love from Chris Clegg making the early returns on the ‘24 class looking better than some thought.
-
I want the best promoted aggressively when warranted because of offering extentions at young ages makes better sense. Pratt at 21-22. Made-Pena at 20-21. etc.

I’d like to see the team trade some of their Carolina non-Bitonti-Adamczewski IF depth just to open things up for some of the talent below. Sometimes having too much depth can be an issue getting PT for some of your top prospects. I want the team to have the room to aggressively promote when warranted.
-
The team lowered payroll going into the ‘24 season over ‘23 as well and had a pretty good season. If they lower payroll again because of a potential loss of half their local TV money I’ll understand and look forward to what our award-winning FO can do with less, like they did last year.
-
Wilken-DiTuri-O’Rae can get moved yesterday as far as I’m concerned, but I don’t think they have a ton of trade value. Quintana I’d hold, especially after the second-half of the season improvement he made on both sides of the ball. Real short stops with his power potential just don’t get traded. Areinamo should be in demand, like Barrios was this past season. It would hurt to lose him but he could be a nice piece in a package. Same with Baez, especially after his showing in Arizona. With a 3-5 year big-league keystone combo of Ortiz-Turang likely not interrupted unless by big-time prospects Pratt-Pena-Made-Quintana, the team, imo, can afford to package 3 of the 4 prospects you listed along with the 2 I listed.

I read more than 1 scout that thought Pena a better prospect than Made. The ‘24 IFA class just keeps getting better after reading Badlers analysis of Quintana’s defense at SS., with his opinion being he can stick there moving forward, and his improvement in the box as the season moved along. Then with BA’s analysis of Quintana & Anderson’s having excellent swing decisions — wow, just wow.
-
Incredible job of mining talent by our International department. Quero-Chourio & the 2024 IFA class has been franchise-altering. It’s been franchise-altering because it’s allowed the team to procure prospect talent as good as there is in this game through a prospect-procurement system without a draft order. Acquiring top 5 prospect talent from a team consistently picking in the back half of the draft isn’t likely to happen, but with the international realm, it is happening, and that’s likely going to lead to a future top farm system and eventually transfer to the big-club. Reading what the scouts have said regarding Made, including BA, who has called him a future potential #1 prospect has me over the moon excited about the future of this team moving-forward. The sky’s the limit with this team’s prospect-procurement abilities
