  1. Giving up their comp B pick in the package to acquire Harrison-Drohan-Hamilton looking good in the early going so having a draft without their usual top 10ish bonus pool tolerable thanks to the organization’s incredible young talent depth.
  2. Yeah, not too optimistic on Wichrowski as a starter. Maybe middle-relief but his stuff has regressed, imo, since he burst onto the scene in ST a couple of years back when he was touching 100 with a nasty slider. Hoping they have him relieving from this point on. As far as the 1st round pick — I’m hoping they add an OF, hopefully of the college variety that can potentially reach MKE in a couple of years. That’s the 1 system weakness we have. Need more OF talent besides Payne & Adamczewski and a couple of 17/18 year olds. I think this team has such good scouting of pitching, both amateur & pro, along with maybe the best pitching development in the game that they will develop TOR starter arms without a first round pick, like they did before with Woodruff-Burnes & Peralta.
  3. Kuehner has to be the most underrated arm we have in our system. He was great the second-half of last year, fantastic in ST and now off to nice start in this game. Hard to believe the starter arm talent we have developing in our organization.
  4. With Arnold’s promotion to POBO he very likely received an extension with a pay boost.
  5. This team will win the Central because they are not only the best team in the division but also among the best, if not the best in all of baseball. They have everything except Starting Pitching experience — but that’s overcome by the shear numbers of upside SP’s throughout the BL rotation and upper-minors. They dont need Mitchell to play 145 games, or Chourio to become a superstar this season. They have as good of depth as any team in the game, including the LAD. They have more prime-aged, experienced positional talent that’s playoff-worthy than any team in baseball. This team rivals the 1982 team as the best in team history.
  6. Watching this team play games that count has me convinced this roster is better than last year’s roster and in every way. I know it’s only one game, and it’s against one of the worst teams in baseball, but — • having a lineup of mostly 3rd to 5th year players reaching their prime-aged performance years is the biggest reason this will be an improved team. Experience matters, development matters and this team has it now. • starting pitching depth is the best in team history. Organizationally it’s absurd. Upper-minors is loaded. Yes it’s inexperienced outside of Woodruff, but they have the numbers to protect from the inevitable injuries ahead and those numbers should also allow them to settle on a good starting 5-6. • what team in this game has a deeper or stronger bullpen? • what team has a better FO, Manager or coaching staff? • what team has a deeper and or better farm system that can fix weaknesses that pop up throughout the season? With average health, this team is one of the best teams in baseball and can absolutely win a WS championship THIS year.
  7. Adding Hamilton to this roster fixed one of this team’s biggest weakness — backup SS. He’s the perfect Brewers player with his elite defense and speed. IF defense with him at 3B, Ortiz at SS, Turang at 2B and Bauers-Vaughn at 1B has to be among the best in the game. Incredible trade by Arnold adding him, Harrison & Drohan.
  8. Woodruff is healthy, knows his body as well as any pitcher in this game and has a ton of confidence in his new repertoire. Once the real games begin and the adrenaline starts flowing we’ll see some 93’s & 94’s with a steady increase in velo as the season moves along (like last year) and he builds up arm strength.
  9. Hunt regressed in his age 25 season and this team is loaded with upper-minors starting pitching prospects so Hunt was expendable. Murphy said Woodford was built-up to throw “40-something pitches” so he can give the team some length from the right-side early in the season, which they will likely need with all the young arms and Woodruff not being fully stretched-yet. Experienced, veteran arm with experience pitching length out of the pen that happens to get lots of GB’s and soft-contact right-up MKE’s alley.
  10. “Dynasty” is the correct verbiage to describe this team — small-market dynasty to be precise. There has never been a SM team consistently win like this team has. Not Cleveland not Tampa, not without a rebuild or reset. Those familiar with the “under-the-hood” inner-workings of the team’s infrastructure know they haven’t seen the organization reach its peak and in fact are just getting started. To have a 97 win team with the best farm and most control over their roster in this sport is a dangerous combination for the rest of baseball whether they know it or not. Then add-in their top of the scale infrastructure and FO and you’d have to be seriously ignorant not to see what’s happening here with this team. What a time to be a Brewers fan.
  11. Hoping Black has a good year with Nashville so he can provide 1B/LF depth and eventually a trade return of some sort either individually or in a package.
  12. Lockridge was known as a power/speed prospect early in his career. If he can continue to impact the baseball when the real games begin we could really have something special.
  13. All I know is 3 of Henderson-Gasser-Sproat-Harrison-Drohan is going to be just fine to open the year. Beyond them they have Hall-Ashby, even Crow, then another impressive pitching prospect in Tate Kuehner, who they could easily roster if needed. If Woodruff-Priester are included, that’s 13 deep with starters, not including more upper-minors SP’s likely to breakout and become possible options if needed. Has to be the best starter depth this team has ever enjoyed. Yes, many of them “unproven”, but all of them with upside.
  14. The Brewers system is also an incredibly young system which should give them more breakout potential as they mature. I keep going back to the young pitching prospects the team has with many added recently just getting their development started now working with the team’s outstanding PDS. No system in the game has the numbers of young arms this team has — under-the-radar comes to mind. But that is going to change this coming minors season.
  15. Hard to believe, but the Brewers farm is actually a “sleeping giant” of a system. The top 30 is the best in baseball, but so is the next 20, and it’s that next 20 that is going to make this system — maybe — the deepest in modern baseball history. The organization has so many arms, young arms, not listed, from which, are going to breakout it’s staggering. Then we have the Handelfrey’s and Frias’s on the other side of the ball as well. Imo, this extreme depth is going to force the team to trade-off some of the excess at the deadline just to free up the massive log-jam ahead.
  16. Tod Johnson said Brewers scouts thought Fischer to be the best college hitter in the draft. That’s good enough for me.
  17. I’m going with 3 arms that missed last season recovering from TJ surgery — Woodward-Knoth-Broughton. All 3 reported to be 100% and can’t wait to watch them help make this system’s pitching explode to epic proportions.
  18. Confirmation of what many of us already knew — the most young organizational talent in the game belongs to MKE.
  19. 2 years ago some were wondering how this team was going to replace Burnes-Peralta-Woodruff and fill-out a quality BL rotation — now look at what we have. Unreal — what a time to be a Brewers fan.
  20. Not seeing McGuire in AAA. If he doesn’t make the team out of ST, my guess is he opts-out and leaves the organization.
  21. Health-willing, Letson should give the team 2 potential TOR starters with Misiorowski the other. Then with the largest stable of 5-6 years controlled starters with BL experience and the deepest group of minors starters (my opinion) in all of baseball, likely more will breakout giving the team a dominant rotation moving-forward the envy of baseball.
  22. Yeah, no thanks to adding Bohm. The team can reassess at or near the trade-deadline and possibly use what should be their absolutely bursting farm system to upgrade the 3B position if they feel the need to.
  23. Lockridge with the higher offensive ceiling, Perkins with the better CF defense. I think Perkins makes the OD roster but if he doesn’t hit and Lockridge does at Nashville, I could see them switch-out the two of them. I think they hold Black for depth and see what happens with the rest of their large stable of 1B prospects at AAA for next year. A good Black AAA season builds-back his trade-value and gives the team options at the trade-deadline to potentially package-off 1 of Black/Burke/Adams/Boeve/Wilken.
  24. The slurve is a game-changer for Patrick. But even without it he was a solid starter for this team. I don’t think there is any question Patrick rotations for the team this season. His moxie is off the charts. With runners on he bared-down and kept runs off the board and with runners in scoring position he was even better. Love the low heart-rate. #2 starter upside.
  25. Has to be the best 11-14 of any organization in the game.
