    The pitching brought in from this class is special. Broughton-Dubanewicz-Smith-Renz-Meccage-Hardin-DeBerry-Holobetz — wow. Did I miss anyone? Really looking forward to seeing a healthy Broughton make his debut.
  2. SF70
    Well actually it was. The team did after-all win 97 games and finished 3rd in RS. The team isn’t going to replace a GG-caliber SS this offseason without giving him until the trade-deadline to see if he can improve his offense. If Steamer is right and he gets to a 95 wRC+, he becomes a 3 WAR player. But even if he can get to 85, he probably eliminates the need for an outside acquisition.

    I don’t think Arnold pulls the trigger on that return. Not for a backend starter (Early) and bullpen arm (Perales), even if that pen arm ends up in HL. Early might be ready next season, Perales probably not. That trade weakens the Brewers 2026 BL team considerably, imo.

    And didn’t even mention our 3 big-armed TJ’s, Woodward-Broughton-Galindez, all 3 back pitching at varying times this season.

    Woody will enter ST 100% healthy, 28 months post-surgery. He showed what he can do last season with reduced velo — #2 starter stats including peripherals that match. He has an opportunity to re-gain a tick or two and with his new and improved arsenal — become better than ever — a true playoff ace. And you can bet the team will do what it can to make sure he gets to October healthy and now that the predicted lat injury is out of the way, I’m predicting he gets there. There is no move (0) this team could have made that adds more impact than adding Brandon Woodruff to the 2026 team.

    Steamer has Joey up to a 95 wRC+ for next season and if that comes to fruition — we have ourselves one valuable SS. No way this team is going to replace Joey this offseason with his GG-type defense at the most important defensive position on the field, especially with this team’s belief in run prevention. My guess is the team’s internal projections have him closer to Steamer’s projection’s than his hitting of last year. Let’s see where things stand at the trade-deadline.

    I’m interested in the young pitching throughout the system. Do you agree with me that the pitching is ready to explode? I’m interested in hearing your thoughts on the TJ’s that missed last year’s season rehabbing. Knoth? Woodward? Galindez? Broughton? Are they all on track to be good to go entering ST? With this being Woodwards 2nd TJ, and him being R5 eligible next offseason do you see MKE bullpenning or rotationing him? Thoughts on the pitchers signed and brought in from the 2025 draft-class. Who’s your favorite arm? Sleeper? Personally, I like the left-handed arms they added. Went from a system weakness to potentially a strength if we include Broughton who should finally make his debut next season.
  8. SF70
    Maybe, but Woodward has a starters arsenal with multiple plus pitches. My guess is they rotation him, but we’ll see.
  9. SF70
    Anyone not named Made-Pena for the right upgrade to the lineup and or rotation. I want the team to do what it can, without being reckless, in an attempt to win a WS in 2026, especially with a lockout looming the following year. Trade-deadline could be the right time to do some damage. We should know by then if we need to upgrade SS, and if the team needs a power upgrade, big-armed starter and or bullpen upgrades.
  10. SF70
    Just shows how incredible our last 4 drafts and IFA classes have been. Top system with depth galore, just about all from those aforementioned classes, of which we don’t need to protect yet. Next year it’ll start getting tougher, although, I’m hoping to see some trades soon that can thin some of the extreme IF depth the system enjoys.
  11. SF70
    I’m fascinated to see how the big-armed TJ’s fare this season. Woodward-Knoth-Broughton & Galindez all have soooooo much potential upside, and all should be healthy and ready to go in ST or early in the year. The upper-minors should be loaded early on with top positional prospects. Quero-Wilken-Lara-Adams-Pratt at AAA. Made-Burke-Adamczewski-Boeve at AA with Fischer & Pena joining the group early on. Hard to imagine any team with that kind of top-end positional talent in the uppers. But for me it’s the pitching throughout the system including the aforementioned 4-some in the first paragraph and pitchers yet to debut from the ‘25 draft-class that has me intrigued like never before. Boatload after boatload of talented arm talent that should give the team as much breakout pitching talent than any team in baseball.

    Blasting Lathund like you did just touched a nerve with me since he’s always been nothing but respectful in his perpetually smart and reasoned takes.
  13. SF70
    100% agree. The most important thing an owner of a small-market team can do is hire the very best talent to run his team and Attanasio has hit it out of the park in that regard with Stearns/Arnold/Klentak/Johnson and all of the assistant GM’s he’s hired over the last decade.

    Ben Badler knows the Brewers system as well or better than any evaluator or scout I’ve read or listened to. Arem is right there as well. His article the other day describing the Brewers advantage over the rest of baseball with their drafting & signing of HS players was great to read, although he didn’t differentiate between pitchers and positionals, with at least 16 of the 18 listed HS’s signed since ‘21 being pitchers.
  15. SF70
    Yeah, seems to have been doing a lot of strength training since his surgery. Quero is back to his pre-injury self offensively and with his extra strength should be able to impact the baseball better than he ever has. The arm strength is a work in progress, but he still has GG potential receiving skills, game-calling abilities and the intangibles that Murphy loved so much he called Quero his favorite Brewers prospect ever 2 ST’s ago. Start him off in AAA until he forces his way to MKE.
  16. SF70
    I drop a thumbs down on posts and don’t explain why. Next time you might want to PM someone and request an explanation instead of publicly trying to embarrass him like you just did. Lathund is one of the best posters on this site and has reasoned opinions that I just about always agree with and if he gave you a thumbs down on a post of yours I’d probably re-think your take.
  17. SF70
    They seem to have an advantage over most, if not all of baseball with being able to scout-out and identify HS pitching that they can develop into quality pitchers and because of this advantage I believe they continue this trend indefinitely. Thanks to the last 3 drafts, they have tons of pitching talent throughout the system like never before imo, and will soon have the ability to trade-off some of this pitching when it gets to excess. And with the controllable starters now on the 40 man and in the rotation, that excess will be here sooner than we think.

    This FO is too smart to add any $20M/year player on a long-term contract where every year is in his post-prime performance years. Not happening. Adding a salary like that absolutely will hurt the team moving forward when they have second, third and even 4th year arby (Turang) they would want to give to their talented, prime-aged core. The team will want to have salary room to hold select talent from our core so they aren’t forced to sell-off that talent. Contreras-Frelick-Turang-Vaughn will get expensive over the next 2-3 seasons. Even Chourio’s salary will start to get up there. Plus we have Yelich’s salary the next 3 years. Financial flexibility is critical to the future success of this team. They also will want to preserve flexibility for an extension or two. Lots of thought needed ahead for a small-market team with an incredible future.
  19. SF70
    Patrick, with his new slurve has #2 starter upside. He’s also the rare pitcher that gets better with runners on base. Under pressure situations he rises to the occasion like few others. Future game 1-2 or 3 playoff starter.
  20. SF70
    Cabrera is a budding ace and as such is worth far more in return than the players listed. Duran’s arby cost the next 3 years could approach $40M. Do you really see the Brewers taking on that much $? No super 2 additions for this team imo.
  21. SF70
    Waayyyy too much risk for small-market MKE. 1 more season of Woody in his age 33 season 2 1/2 years from his surgery makes sense with this team a serious WS contender and a host of young starters in need of building innings and experience.
  22. SF70
    Adamczewski is still one of our most underrated prospects. His swing is special and looking forward to seeing what he can do in AA next year. O’Rae at best a utility. Maybe some team wants his speed in their farm system and we can package him off at some point. LHP’s with deception and good secondaries a must follow.
  23. SF70
    Woody-Peralta-Miz-Patrick-Priester-Gasser-Henderson-Ashby-Myers-Hall. Probably the best 10 deep the team has ever had.
  24. SF70
    If he accepts the QO he can’t be traded until June 15th, so he’s likely here for the season. No way the team trades him at the deadline. I would argue the team can’t make a more impactful addition this offseason than retaining a Brandon Woodruff, who is primed for a monster season. If he turns down the QO, we get a pick for our — among the best in baseball, amateur draft-department. Either way it’s a win-win for the team.
  25. SF70
    Not seeing the Brewers give up what it would take to acquire Duran (a lot) especially with his $7.7M arby salary for this year. ~$12M next year and 18-$20M in his final year likely making him a 1 or 2 year player for this team.
