    Big arm with fantastic stuff. 3 years controlled. Should be a bullpen mainstay moving forward.
  2. SF70
    I’d prefer signing 7-8 day 3 picks and taking pick 68 in ‘25 myself. The way this team’s amateur scouting department is working the field, I want the volume.
  3. SF70
    Bitonti’s K & BB rate is actually 27% & 19% respectively.
  4. SF70
    Forget Hall for now. 5+ years of Ortiz, our slick fielding SS starting next year plus Burke and the underslot savings applied to the signing of 1 or 2 of the upside HS prospects is a huge win for the future of this team.

    ‘Down on the farm’ ranked our ‘23 class #1. Nice to have a non-biased opinion that confirms what many of us have known for sometime. “Franchise-altering” is not hyperbolic, it’s fitting. When what’s looking like the best ‘24 IFA positional class in the game is added to now what’s looking like one of the top ‘24 teenage pitching classes in baseball, this organization is stock-piling teenage talent like no other team in baseball. Then we have the thought of having a minimum of 3 of the top 35-40 picks (and the slot money to go with them) in next years draft that adds what should be another top draft-class’s worth of talent to what is starting to look like a farm system that can become absolutely monstrous, leading to powerhouse big-league teams through the rest of this decade and possibly beyond.

    Tod Johnson said they expect to sign about as many as they did last year, so 7-8 from the 3rd day.
  7. SF70
    To me this draft has been a huge success. I love the arms they’ve added, along with with the power bat in Burke. Today they likely add the cherry on top. The thought of our PDS developing another couple of boatloads of arms after last years incredible draft is beyond exciting. This draft tells me they really believe in the position talent already stacked throughout the system.
  8. SF70
    The Organization can use more power bat OF’s. Right now they might have one in YRod, but beyond him I can’t think of one unless you go all the way to the DSL in Jose Anderson. Of the big-leaguers mentioned, there’s Chourio and maybe Mitchell if he can stay on the field and add more loft. This organization needs power bats added in a big way. They also do well finding pitching past the first round. They do well finding pitching period.
  9. SF70
    Frelick for a rental starter — NO.
  10. SF70
    No thanks on acquiring any pitching prospect from the LAD. Look at their injury history the last few years. Just about every starter prospect that touches their rotation needs TJ or flexor tendon surgery or both. It’s rather alarming.
  11. SF70
    He should definitely be an option if they need him. His stuff should play anywhere.
  12. SF70
    Forget Garcia. Yoho-Williams-Koenig & Misiorowski in September will be plenty of firepower for the pen. Brewers acquire Kikuchi for: Blalock or Manfredi & Areinamo. Brewers need a LH starter, Kikuchi has probably the most upside.
  13. SF70
    College IF with power would work. In fact any college power bat works for me. I’d prefer OF power over IF, but the weakness, positionally, of this system is power, imo, so any power drafted really helps balance out the system positionally.
  14. SF70
    I’m going with the less risky pick in Benge. They find potential TOR talent later in the draft (Burnes-Woodruff) and are able to develop them into #1 starters. Ashby was another on his way but for blowing out his shoulder. Benge has power potential that just needs tapped into, and I think he gets there, eventually, just like Yelich got there. This team needs power bats, especially OF power bats and at worst, Benge has plus RF defense as a floor and can hit, buying him time to get to that power.
  15. SF70
    I’ll take the certainty of 2 years of Crochet in the rotation vs the upside and risk of 6+ years of Misiorowski. Personally I think Misiorowski is a future closer, so I want him moved. Crochet has had his TJ, Misiorowski hasn’t. Crochet can give MKE the best bullpen in baseball post-deadline that with Eovaldi starting can give this team a great opportunity to advance. He also buys time (2+ years) for the teams PDS to develop the next group of starters to replace Peralta-Woodruff and Crochet. By that time we can have Gasser back and strong, CRod established and Henderson developed.
  16. SF70
    The Brewers have the prospect-depth to add a Garrett Crochet and stick him in the pen the rest of this year or most of the ROTY (innings limits) and start him in ‘25 & ‘26. Then add the rental Eovaldi as a game 1 starter Crochet-Williams-Megill-Hudson-Yoho-Koenig (post-deadline) makes this the best pen in baseball. Eovaldi is probably the most underrated postseason starter in the game and would give MKE a great chance to advance with a 1-2 of him and Peralta and a shutdown bullpen. Crochet to MKE for: Frelick or Mitchell or Black & Misiorowski & Lara or Boeve Eovaldi to MKE for: Manfredi or Blalock & Barrios or Areinamo & O’Rae or Guilarte MKE has the depth of talent to handle those trades and be just fine. They just need to protect their best teenage prospects, which happen to have the most upside in the system. Pratt-Bitonti-YRod-Made-Pena-Letson-Knoth > untouchable. Same with Henderson-Wilken. Crochet-Peralta-Woodruff-Myers-Henderson-CRod is a formidable rotation for ‘25 Then replace Woodruff in ‘26 with Gasser. Farm system has as good of teenage talent as there is in baseball which over the next 1-2 years will really make itself known. Add a nice return with a probable Devin Williams trade, 2 more drafts with extra draft-capital in each and continued excellence in Latin American classes and we have the makings of a truly monster farm and at the same time young and controlled big-league team.

    Mitchell isn’t going anywhere until he can show teams he can stay on the field.
  18. SF70
    Yes, it really is incredible. Made now at a 1.040 OPS with a 14% K-rate & Pena with a 1.263 OPS and 9% K-rate. Looking forward to see what they can do stateside.
  19. SF70
    Benge for me. Potential future power bat LHH RF, gotta go with him here if he’s available unless the team wants to save money on the first pick to stash for later like last year. This draft, impact is more important than depth so I’d like to see an impact bat taken at 17.
  20. SF70
    Yeah, slot on the first pick would necessitate below slot on at least 2 of the next 3 picks if they want to have a similar type draft to 2023, which imo, was a spectacular draft-class. After last years draft I have so much trust in the team’s prospect-procurement systems (‘24 IFA class was incredible as well) I’m just expecting another great class next month, especially with the extra $2.7M, and 2025 with Adames’s comp and comp A as well. Powerhouse farm system ahead.
  21. SF70
    College bat at 17. I like Carson Benge. Good hit & power tool. Should be slot, and in MKE’s OF sometime in 2026. Organizational needs: power bats & power arms and Benge fills the OF power bat need. The rest of the draft can follow last years path with below slot early/above slot late.
  22. SF70
    Kikuchi & Eovaldi for me. Need a lefty and Kikuchi has the most upside. Eovaldi’s game rises once in the playoffs and would be a perfect game 1 starter. Tolerable returns. Eovaldi-Peralta-Kikuchi-Myers-Rea-Wilson or Ross as starter #6, with the other to the bullpen should get the team into the postseason with the first 3 the playoff starters giving the team an opportunity to advance. Not sure Texas would make Eovaldi available but with Max back and deGrom potentially ready post-deadline, maybe?
  23. SF70
    Pena-Made & Anderson with OPS’s N of 1.000 and K-rates of 12-15%. And not just singles hitters either.
  24. SF70
    Pratt to Wisconsin. It’s time.
  25. SF70
    Agree we might have something special with our 2 lefty starters at Wisconsin. Both I believe, should be pitching for Biloxi before years end, and if that happens would give the team 3 starters and a reliever from the ‘23 draft-class already at AA. It’s early of course, but I’ve never seen a class perform this well in my 50+ years of following the Brewers farm and we’ve yet to see Birchard or Woodward pitch.
