    Like everything about this class. From the size of most of our higher rated SS’s, to having a couple of pitchers already throwing 92-94, to just the volume of signings and the competition that will create. Bravo Matt Klentak & co.

    Both BA & Pipeline have Made listed at 6’ 1”.

    Santana yes. Teheran no. They don’t need another non-Optionable #5/6 starter. They go 7 deep before they get to McKendry, who I’d like to see given an opportunity over a Teheran. Peralta-Burnes-Miley-Gasser-Rea-Ross-Ashby-McKendry.

    We traded our worst, projected starter according to steamer, from among Ross-Rea-Gasser-Ashby. Burnes-Peralta-Miley-Rea-Ross-Gasser-Ashby-McKendry-CRod is a plenty deep group of 9 starters.

    The podcast was incredible. Shockingly deep dive. Found myself rarely disagreeing with their assessments. I think they have as good a handle on the Brewers system as any I’ve read or listened to. Nice hearing they haven’t seen a system with as much 18-19 year old talent as MKE. I had thought that, so nice hearing it confirmed. Also nice hearing our great scouting of Venezuelan talent confirmed with them saying we have no peer in that realm. I’m even more pumped about the next 5-10 years of Brewers baseball than I was prior to listening to their podcast, and that’s saying something.

    Gave away Houser and Taylor? Houser was our worst projected starter and Taylor was our 5th/6th OF going into this year. You are a quality poster and I respect your takes, but to ignore getting a starter prospect with the talent of Coleman Crow just because he’s recovering from TJ, and isn’t likely to impact MKE until 2026/‘27 makes no sense, imo.

    Great points as usual. Since I don’t think the Phillies will trade Painter anyhow I’ll try and stop thinking of a Painer-Misiorowski 1-2. Agree if the team trades Burnes they will want the headliner to impact the team sooner rather than later, preferably this season.

    I think this might be the first time I’ve ever disagreed with anything you’ve said on this site, but getting Painter in this deal would be a coup. BA has him at 70, which is ace material. TJ is routine, so ‘25 to shake off the rust, ‘26 to buildup innings, ‘27 we have our ace and for 4 seasons. I can hardly breathe thinking of a Painter-Misiorowski 1-2 for 6 seasons. If we can get Abel to reach his potential then we have 2 ace’s and a #1 leading our rotation, if not a #3 is a nice fallback. Don’t care about Castellanos. With the money from Philly we can get rid of him by trade. Miller I don’t care about either. This trade improves our chances of a WS from ‘26-30 by a good amount. No way Philadelphia is trading Painter tho so this is just a fun dream.

    This team is likely to just let their young talent play. My guess is a Santana addition and go play baseball. Cincinnati & Baltimore showed last year that a team can win with talented young positional talent and decent to good pitching. I think this is where MKE is entering this season. We might not have quite the positional talent of Baltimore, but I like our pitching better. Cincinnati might be slightly ahead of us, as far as prospect development is concerned, but I like our veterans better. The Brewers are contenders as is, and will be developing their BLR prospect talent at the same time.

    And Quintana being 1 of 6 in the top 20 at BA with trending up arrows. Both are good defensively and should have a good chance to stick at SS. Love those switch-hitters as well. Klentak not missing a beat from the great job Mike Groopman did with us before leaving for Boston.
  11. SF70
    It’s the depth of young talent that is staggering. Maybe not the generational talent of an Adley & Gunner, but if pitching is included, maybe more overall team talent than Baltimore. Regression is coming from some of their positionals, but they go 10-11 deep, so they can option and replace to get better performance and their pitching is better than they showed last year. A healthy Lodolo will give the rotation a boost, and with a healthy Montas? they go 6 deep at worst with #4 starters. No team in the division can match that. Connor Phillips and his upper 90’s FB is knocking at the door as well. Very underrated bullpen of last year returns with Pagán and Martinez likely improving the performance of the pen overall. Definitely a NL Central title contender this season and should become a SM monster in the seasons ahead. The NL Central is trending towards being the best division in baseball over the next 3-4 years. Every team has a nice young core and top 5-10 farm system except St Louis.

    Forgive me for not reading thru all these posts and repeating something said already. The 40 man roster issue is no biggie. They have 4-5-6 that can be dropped without much or any pain. This team’s PDS saw a pitcher that can help the team this year for a pitcher that helps the LAD in 4 years. Organizational weakness’s getting fixed this offseason and last year with the Urias trade, Houser/TT trade, and now this trade. Minor-league starting pitching depth & LH reliever arms. We just got our LH reliever, which we need in our bullpen to help balance, and more optionable’s. Looking at his numbers, size, extention, FB spin, etc. has me excited they might have themselves another bullpen weapon.
  13. SF70
    At 32-33-34 years old coming off shoulder injuries, the risk would too much for this SM team. If these shoulder injuries would have happened five years ago I might think differently, potentially having Woody for two or three years of his prime.
  14. SF70
    No to Torres, but yes to: Hampton (RHSP) & Lombard jr (SS) & Lalane (LHSP) Hampton can rotation this season if needed. Lombard a 1st rd pick, has 5 (55) tool grades from BA, with the pedigree of a father having played in the bigs. Lalane, 6’ 7” LHSP, a high upside arm. Lombard & Lalane are 3 years away, but worth waiting for. They also help fix the organization’s 2 biggest farm weaknesses — power bat SS’s & LHSP’s.

    Yes, Yount signed a 3 year, $9.6M contract in 1989 making him the highest paid player in baseball. Going off of memory, but the highest the team ever got was #5 in team payroll in 1982. 5-10 for the years ‘78-‘83. Bud Selig was a great owner.
  16. SF70
    Bud Selig spent above his means most years as an owner from ‘78-‘84, most years during that period he had a top 5-10 payroll team. Even in the mid to late 80’s up to 1992 his payrolls were mostly near the top half of teams. Things changed in ‘93, when it became apparent the team needed a new stadium to be able to compete financially with the mid and large market teams. Wendy’s team was the issue payroll-wise while Bud was running baseball as interim-comish trying to get revenue-sharing and new stadiums built around the game including Miller Park. Attanasio has been a good owner during his 18 years with his best attribute being his ability to hire the right people to run his team.
  17. SF70
    Santana could be added soon, the rest won’t be missed. The maturing of the Sophomore’s combined with adding our 2 best hitting prospects should make for a better run scoring team in ‘24.
  18. SF70
    They didn’t include Taylor to shed salary, they included TT to be able to acquire a controllable future rotation arm in Coleman Crow. Trading from depth positions to fill positions with less depth is what smart FO’s do.
  19. SF70
    Lombard a smidgen less upside with a smidgen more floor. 5 above average tools with a pedigree as well. Like the baseball family.
  20. SF70
    I also like the Yankees as a trade partner. I’m offering Williams as well as Burnes since the Yankees can use a dominant closer, Hampton & Lalane & Lombard & Gil. Gil adds another 100mph arm to the bullpen and Hampton can rotation with MKE the second half of ‘24 if he’s needed. Lombard & Lalane are the upside talent needed to make the deal even though they are 3+ years away. This deal immediately fixes the only weaknesses in this teams farm system: Mid-rotation arms and power-hitting SS. Pratt & Lombard can compete for the ‘27 MKE SS position.

    Impact or go with holding Burnes for the pick & pool money that gives this team’s elite amateur draft department the ammo to add more impact thru the draft. I think the prospect-procurement systems are doing a spectacular job as is. Internationally spending money on positionals while trying to scout Nicaragua and find cheap pitching seems to be working quite well. Trying to project ahead with 14 year old pitchers isn’t a good gamble financially imo. Domestically, this team’s PDS is doing a great job finding pitching in the JC ranks that isn’t scouted as heavily, allowing us to find diamonds in that realm. Johnson & co. have really nailed the last few drafts adding positional talent to the system. This teams future success will be assured as long as they keep the prospect-procurement systems strong like they have right now.
  22. SF70
    Ok, I just see Sheehan as an untouchable for Friedman. He’s a potential future TOR starter and as such isn’t going anywhere imo. Maybe Frasso and Stone substituted for Sheehan if Friedman really is going for it, which I question since it’s definitely not his MO.
  23. SF70
    I respect Ben Badler, but 2 years total of Burnes-Adames isn’t going to entice Friedman to give-up their best pitching prospect & best hitting prospect, 3 years of Lux & another nice pitching prospect.
  24. SF70
    Absolutely bring Santana back, and with or without Burnes. Even if Burnes is traded they conceivably could contend and Santana would help them do that. Disciplined hitter with pop, excellent defensively and a team leader.
  25. SF70
    They won’t be shocked because if Arnold doesn’t get impact talent offered in a return, they won’t trade Burnes.
