    This bullpen come September with Misiorowski & Hall in it, joining Megill-Uribe & Williams, will be as unhittable as any backend bullpen group, maybe in baseball history? How many 70 and 80 grade pitches does that group own?
  2. SF70
    Sure, I get the “odds” don’t favor stardom for any “prospect”, but sometimes the team just knows and Arnold has been praising Quero’s game since his signing back in 2019. My guess is the team is higher on Quero than the industry.
  3. SF70
    His trajectory is top 10-20 prospect in the game. Odds are with stardom vs not.
  4. SF70
    Going the Burnes route with Quero gets him to FA in his age 28 season. No thanks. I want his age 28 & 29 seasons to be here in MKE. Possibly his age 30 & 31 seasons as well.

    With this teams very likely monstrous farm system over the next half-decade, I think they can be very selective in who they offer extensions to. With positionals, the priority over pitchers for 2 reasons — less injury risk, and also it’s what we do best — develop pitching, so we should always have pitching available. I think the team should zero in on Quero like they did with Chourio. Locking him up to give the team up to 9-10 years of that pairing would be franchise-altering and give the team 2 top players at their positions in the game. Having a farm as strong as MKE will have and for as long as they will have will give them so many options for extensions moving-forward, especially with all of the teenage talent currently in the system and skill of the team’s IFA department. Besides Quero, who very likely should be offered, I’d list Lara-YRod-Pratt as 3 more future extension candidates depending on development.

    Absolutely could be really exciting. The key to doing the extension’s are to do them with positionals mostly (less risk) and to do them early, so as to get hugely team friendly terms. They did this with Chourio, and my guess is they can, and will do this with Quero as well. I think extension’s should also be reserved for the best & youngest of the positionals, garnering the most prime-performance years as possible.
  7. SF70
    I think the team is flush with starter options. Having Hall and Ashby rotation gives the team an abundance of starter options even if Ashby needs to start the year in Nashville to buildup arm strength. Peralta-Hall-Miley-Rea-Ashby?-Ross-Junis is 6-7 deep before we even get to Gasser or eventually CRod-McKendry or even possibly Misiorowski. Even if Ashby and Hall need to eventually go to the bullpen because of inning limitations, they can replace with Gasser and or CRod.
  8. SF70
    Early returns look promising. The mechanical changes Hall made the second-half of last season alluded to by Arem & Jack seem to have unlocked a future rotation monster. If true, Hall alone would make the Burnes trade a success. Getting a 3-5 WAR SS and 34th pick/pool money makes it a steal of a trade.
  9. SF70
    I’ll also add the fact of him only signing for 200K and coming from Venezuela where his family is likely quite poor giving him tremendous incentive to get his money sooner rather than waiting till later. I see a future Chourio-type extension in length offered and likely accepted.
  10. SF70
    Quero’s first half performance with the bat last year at AA prior to his hand injury was enough for me to see his future hitting talent. He was every bit the hitter Chourio was prior to the injury. The guy can hit.
  11. SF70
    But Woodruff hasn’t been healthy and that’s the problem taking the TOR starter over the all-star catcher — health. For every Cole or Burnes, there’s multitudes of Woodruff’s or deGrom’s.
  12. SF70
    Quero’s age and extension potential makes him more valuable long-term than Skeens or any pitcher for that matter. I’ll take the 10 years of all-star type catching over 6 years of a TOR starter.
  13. SF70
    Absolutely not. You don’t trade a potential future all-star catcher that has a good chance of being extended like his fellow countryman Chourio. A Quero & Chourio duo up the middle for a decade is potentially franchise altering.
  14. SF70
    My guess is the team wanted Crow pretty bad and think they can get more out of Junis than Houser. Not sure Junis is all that more expensive than houser either.
  15. SF70
    Nah, the Houser/TT trade was about more than just salary relief, adding a future potential mid-rotation arm to the organization in Coleman Crow. Trading from depth positions — team has many Houser type starter arms (most if not all considerably cheaper options) and boatloads of OF’s. The money saved helped the team improve in other areas of the team that needed strengthening, like offensive firepower.
  16. SF70
    Absolutely nailed this team’s offseason and overall philosophy of team building. We are so fortunate to have Arnold leading this organization. I thought David Stearns was as good as it gets, but Arnold has taken the batan and moved this organization beyond anything I could have imagined. And it’s a good thing since this division is a future monstrosity, with 4 of the 5 teams having as good or better of young talent as there is in the game from any one team.
  17. SF70
    Williams I would guess more so than Adames, but an overpay for either will get Arnold to pull the trigger. Extreme talent & depth in the bullpen makes Williams more expendable, with Willy more important to the team winning games this season.
  18. SF70
    Hoyer played this one right. Not much downside with only 3 years, all of them still in his peak-performance years. His versatility allows for the Cubs to bring up their young talent, even if he sticks for 3, which he’s not likely to do.
  19. SF70
    The comp pick potential makes it a good deal. That comp pick is worth $10M+ in SV just of itself. Love this FO.
  20. SF70
    Mostly agree with your take. The Reds have numbers on their side. 7-8 potential IF’s and depth of OF’s as well. This will help mitigate the inevitable regressions they will get from a good amount of their sophomore positionals. I disagree with your assessment of their pitching. They go 10 deep with quality starter options and if they can get Greene to take the next step and Lodolo can finally get healthy— look out — they easily would have the best rotation in the division. They still might even if they don’t hit on both.
  21. SF70
    It’s Ashby for me. His velo this spring will determine where he starts out the year, in AAA, or with the big-club, and if it’s MKE, will it be the rotation or bullpen. Awaiting impatiently for the first word on his velo.
  22. SF70
    This division is going to really be something special over the next 5+ years with all of the young talented rosters and strong farm systems. This season I think the Reds have the advantage providing they don’t get too many sophomore slumps.. Their starting pitching is strong and deep and they have an underrated bullpen. I see a 5 team race most of the year with St Louis & Pittsburgh falling off late in the season.
  23. SF70
    If we’re really gonna dream on a ‘25 rotation let’s add Ashby to Peralta-Woodruff-Hall-Misiorowski with Gasser the 6th starter. How many plus or better pitches in that rotation (assuming Woody makes it all the way back)?
  24. SF70
    Yeah, Wiemer needs time at AAA just to gain the extra ST season, so starting him off at AAA makes sense. As far as holding all 3, I also think that makes sense unless the team gets a trade offer on one they just can’t turn down. I doubt that happens with Mitchell or Wiemer, but maybe it does with Frelick, who likely has the most trade value of the 3. They have so much OF depth it’s ridiculous, with Black an OF option as well, especially if one of our current OF group is traded. Fascinating to see what moves if any the FO makes moving forward.
  25. SF70
    You’re not, Bukauskas should be far down the list of DFA candidates. Really good stuff, but the lack of an option likely kills his long-term opportunity with this club. Another club without the ridiculous organizational bullpen depth of this club will be getting a nice reliever.
