  1. Assuming you meant Pena, not Perez. While both or one of Made-Pena could be ready in 2 years, you also have to account for a year or two of big-league development that would need to take place and the team might want a fully developed Brice Turang as one of the leaders of the late-decade Brewers. SS/3B are also options for Made-Pena.
  2. Pipeline city. Despite the disappointment of the big bonus signings from this last class (Fenelon-Antunez-Acosta), there is still some nice performances on both sides of the ball that can still make the ‘25 class a success. The ‘24 class was a once in a generation class and no class can stand up to that one. Looking forward to seeing this next class from baseball’s best international system.
  3. He looks like a #3 pick in the draft to me. Hitting talent is starting to show itself. I’m going to assume we now have a power bat in the middle of our lineup for the next 2+ years — fixes our biggest roster hole (big bat) and at a price we can afford. What a time to be a Brewers fan.
  4. So excited for the next 5-10 years of Brewers baseball. The ‘26 team should be tremendous with Turang-Frelick entering their prime, Chourio his junior year, Collins-Ortiz-Perkins, another years experience, so positionally very strong. The young starters will have less innings restrictions, the depth, impressive. Bullpen should be typically strong will myriad options. WS contender.
  5. Yeah Quero needs to play in AAA and then a full offseason strengthening his shoulder before he sees MKE. Hopefully he’s all the way back entering ST next year and can start the season out in MKE.
  6. “I never heard such a continuous roar during a regular season game” — Bob Carpenter. I was also at that game and the crowd was standing and yelling throughout the entire bottom of the 9th. This was something Brewers fans took pride in during the first 20-25 years of the team. Standing and yelling in an attempt to will the team to victory. Sorry to say that’s been lost, for whatever reason. Fan enthusiasm (at the games) has waned over the years for whatever reason. Too bad, because it really does get the team fired up and performing better.
  7. Absolutely. Even though the system is ranked #1, it’s still a sleeping giant of a system because of what you alluded to and also with the abnormal number of injuries to the team’s top positional prospects holding many back. Getting healthier seasons from the likes of Wilken-Dinges-Payne-Adamczewski-Adams and having another offseason for Quero-Boeve to get their shoulders stronger gives this system a chance to be truly monstrous next year. Then on top of all that potential, we get Woodward-Knoth-Galindez-Knarr back and Broughton rehabbed from his TJ.
  8. We now have the most prestigious of the prospect sites ranking our system the best in baseball, confirming what many of us have thought for some time. So we now have the reigning executive of the year in Matt Arnold — the best farm system in baseball — the best record in big-league baseball — a top-tier infrastructure — all of this thanks to Attanasio-Stearns-Arnold & co. The best MLB organization now belongs to the MKE Brewers and this isn’t going to be a short-term thing either. Incredible time to be a Brewers fan and goodness gracious we deserve this.
  9. The Cubs have a boatload of underperforming positional players that when they start regressing to the mean, will score enough runs to be dangerous again, especially when they get Taillon back next Monday. Not saying they overtake MKE, but I believe they can win enough games the rest of the year to challenge for the top WC spot.
  10. Mitchell isn’t making the starting lineup over Chourio-Collins-Frelick. Then we have Perkins as the 4th OF, with an occasional start from Yelich, so…….. Mitchell gets stashed in AAA to hopefully establish a track-record of health and performance for future trade purposes and depth. That, or he gets traded this offseason. He doesn’t fit the big-league team with Collins rise, Perkins incredible defense and extra depth with the Lockridge acquisition.
  11. Fortunately there are limits to the poaching on a yearly basis, and I have to believe Attanasio has a good grasp on who he needs to keep (extend/promote) and who he can do without. Like Tampa, this organization has a deep bench. The hard part has been done, the infrastructure completed. The fun has begun. The golden age of Brewers fandom is upon us.
  12. Looking at that AA lineup with the BL team’s controlled positional core it is just an amazing time to be a Brewers fan. Goodness gracious.
  13. Absolutely is. Hoyer & Counsell are perfect for each other. Arnold can continue to school Jed, while Murphy can continue to do the same with Counsell. Counsell thinking the grass was greener in Chicago will go down as an epic mistake in judgement.
  14. I’d like to see the team offer an extension to Turang. Same with Frelick, who also is going to add power to his game moving-forward. Both could end up as 20/year HR hitters with above average hit tools, speed and plus defense. 5+ WAR players. Add money thru arby and buy out 1-2 years of FA.
  15. A. Arnold & co decided not to disrupt the amazing 2025 team chemistry they’ve established. They love the defense Ortiz provides and very likely don’t think it’s worth upgrading from Monasterio and disturbing said team chemistry. Adding Lockridge for Jorge Quintana makes sense with the news of Chourio’s potentially being out a month or longer. Adding Shelby Miller without giving up any prospects, probably the best single move of any team at the trade deadline. This team knows their players and what they have in those players better than anybody.
  16. Going to be an interesting offseason with virtually the entire team returning but for Woodruff-Hoskins-Quintana. Guessing payroll will be near the same or less so not expecting the team to add a higher priced FA with Arby raises, including Vaughn’s $6-7M, eating up most or all the savings on Hoskins. The team having the best and deepest farm system in the game will come into play at some point and that time could be next offseason that adds controllable talent if needed. Next year’s team should be a WS favorite with having a mostly 3-4 years experienced, prime-aged, peaking team positionally with boatloads of controlled SP, and another potentially great bullpen.
  17. It wasn’t a hit that was needed to advance last season — it was Williams just doing his job. The evidence of our FO being the best in this game has reached critical mass this past year. Another executive of the year award on top of last year’s EOY, should, but probably still won’t silence the critics. Unbelievable.
  18. This is my favorite class maybe ever. The pitching added is better than in ‘23 or ‘24, my opinion, and the 2 positionals taken early have good hitting upside with power potential. HS pitchers watching what this team has been doing with their pitching development have to be salivating over the prospect of being drafted by this organization. Convinced the team is going to continue to draft pitching each and every draft until they have so much organizational pitching they can’t develop them all. A true pitching factory. They can supply teams around the game with some of their pitching in exchange for positional talent we need.
  19. Read Liveforoctober’s post. Explanation pretty clear.
  20. Trade Quintana. His command just isn’t good enough. His moxie & grit is commendable, but he doesn’t have the upside of Cortez.
  21. Disagree on your potential lack of depth take without Underwood. Getting the 2 lefties from the early rounds and Flores adds plenty of upside pitching, imo, to an already stacked upper and lower minors system. Arm talent in this system is as deep as any team in baseball, imo.
  22. Not at all, some of us can look past the trees and see the big, beautiful forest. Matt Arnold earned executive of the year last season on behalf of the MKE Brewers for the 2024 season. He and the team are trending to earn it again for the second year in a row, which would be an unprecedented feat. You have no retort for this that will make any logical sense because there isn’t any. This alone makes the MKE Brewers THE best organization in baseball. Mark Attanasio has done the most important thing he can do as the owner of baseball’s SMALLEST-market team — hire the right people to run it, listen to what they want you to do (massive investments in infrastructure), and stay out of the way. The best FO in the game resides in MKE and as such doesn’t deserve criticism from its fans. They deserve patience from their fans for having a grand plan and a process for that plan. It’s taken a decade for most fans to see that this plan is coming to fruition slowly but surely. We now have as good or better infrastructure as any in the game. We have as good of a farm system as there is in this game. We have more solid or better, 5-6 years controlled BL starting pitching as any team in baseball. We also have a 3-6 years controlled, playoff-worthy positional core. We have everything a team needs to have as good of a 5+ year future as any team in baseball. Patience is all that is needed. Patience to let our elite FO do what they think is needed to win a WS in the near future.
  23. While not signing Underwood is disappointing, that should potentially leave enough money to really go after Cadiz, a player that the system imo, needs more than another pitcher. The pitching signed thru the first 10 rounds is already stronger than what we signed in the last 2 drafts 1-10. Cadiz, Hughes & Lauridsen would make for a nice trio of talent.
  24. Anyone following this team has to now know we are THE best organization in baseball. Period. And as such, this FO doesn’t deserve criticism from its fans, not when each and every year the organization gets stronger. Just shush, and let them do their thing. They obviously know what to do or we wouldn’t be the best organization in baseball, now would we. Mr Big Red — stop complaining about the past and just sit back, relax, and this team’s FO continue to school MLB, and appreciate what we have and where we’re going.
  25. Yes, they are the best organization in baseball. And with their combination of controlled BL core, BIB prospect-procurement and development, monstrous farm system, and elite FO, it’s likely to stay that way for a while. This next 5-10 years is going to be a blast.
