    Brewers were willing to start Bauers twice in LF in the playoffs so yeah agreed he should start in LF against RHP until performance from him or others dictates otherwise.

    They aren't playing backup though since Yelich is basically the full time DH now, so one of them has to be the starter. I do think Perkins makes and stays on the team no matter what, but he is like permanently the backup. Like if they start out with Mitchell and he fails, I think Lockridge comes up to be the starter and Perkins stays in the backup role for example. The good news in general is there's a ton of options so you hope one of them pans out, be it Mitchell, Lockridge, Jett, put Chourio in CF and Bauers in LF, hell maybe Baddoo tears up AAA and gets a shot in LF etc.

    And in a similar vein International players, even if they got a big bonus, are more apt to sign an extension because a good chunk of that signing bonus money ends up going to their handlers.

    Surgery is not common for nTOS, although maybe it is different for a professional athlete. Like 60-70% of cases don’t need surgery. Venous like Wheeler has and arterial TOS basically require surgery though.

    Turang also has 4 years of control left and wouldn't be a free agent until 2030, while Contreras only has this year and next.

    LF: Adamczewski CF: Pena RF: Chourio C: Quero 1B: Fischer 2B: Turang SS: Made 3B: Jett

    Yeah he has neurogenic TOS. Seems pretty common it doesn't require surgery, and worst case if he does it sounds like pitchers return to back the same ability level pre surgery so he would be good to go next year.

    Fangraphs compared him to Alfonso Soriano if he pans out

    Man after seeing Harrison’s change up yesterday, Brewers may want to start with a 6 man rotation. According to Hogg, Harrison who struggled throwing a kick change with the Red Sox last year figured out a grip that works for him in the offseason. It looked like a legit weapon yesterday and is a huge unlock when facing righties.

    Fun article with even a Jack/Spencer tweet at the end. https://www.jsonline.com/story/sports/mlb/brewers/2026/03/03/these-10-brewers-prospects-could-be-breakout-players-in-2026/88738933007/

    Feels pretty settled that the bench will be Sanchez, Bauers, Hamilton and Perkins. I don't see how the first three could be supplanted, so maybe an upset would be someone like Lockridge taking Perkins spot.

    Fangraphs Top 100 is out with Made at 2, Pena 24, Sproat 37(!), Jett 75, Quero 76, Henderson 88. They are all 50-FV tier except Pena at 55 and Made 65. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/2026-top-100-prospects/ Edit: ah you beat me

    He put up the second highest OPS in league and better numbers last year other than Braun of the Brewers you mentioned. I don’t know why you keep aggregating his numbers when he put up a .876 OPS last year. Now you are saying he’s old and someone pointed out he’s still younger than the average age for the league. Wilken has his flaws but those aren’t the arguments you are making.

    The club option is more there so his contract can't be used for future arbitration comparisons. Also sometimes they do it to defer the money a year essentially if there's money on the declined option ie a guy wants 10 mil, team puts in 9 and you make a deal for them to take 9 and 500k on the decline rather than paying him 9.5 outright.
  15. mudbutt
    He makes a lot more sense than McGuire to me since he can platoon with Yelich at DH and at that price yeah sure whatever.

    Considering last year we started with Oliver Dunn at third and Durbin had a horrendous May, the home opener was Elvin Rodriguez and the rotation was throwing Civale, the corpse of Fedde out there etc, I feel WAY better about the state of the roster and depth. Not that I want to repeat any of that from last year, but the bullpen is deeper imo and we can go really deep with starters where we can rotate a ton of young upside guys in before you'd have to start scraping the bottom of the barrel veterans. I do have open questions on the infield to start the season especially since I don't see them starting the service time clock on guys like Jett yet, but not really concerned. You don't need to answer these questions before the start of the season and if no one emerges, it's ok to trade for a guy in June.

    Highly appreciate all the work and effort you guys put into these. Look forward to listening to the last recap and hearing if there's another dog interruption.
  18. mudbutt
    Agreed but as mentioned above 3rd base is a dire position leaguewide and honestly I'd say basically every position is, especially when it comes to power. And if you do have someone, you definitely aren't trading them unless it is a rental or they have warts. But I think the Brewers have recognized the power scarcity so you trade for prospects and draft hitters high in the draft, which they have done. Now you just gotta hope one of Fischer, Wilken, Adams, Adamsczewski, Burke etc actually hit because you aren't getting MLB guys, it is too big of a premium.

    Right and I think it is important to note he was directly asked if Frelick is an option, instead of bringing him up on his own, and gave the canned we are open to anything and we know Frelick is game for anything. But in the end the most important part was your quote that he expects him to continue to be a Gold Glove outfielder.

    He’s had injury issues every single year as a professional: 2021: Missed nearly two months with a left knee injury. 2022: Sidelined by an oblique injury. 2023: Suffered a torn labrum in his left shoulder sliding into third base; underwent surgery. 2024: Fractured his left index finger during Spring Training, delaying his season debut until July 1. 2025: Suffered a left oblique strain in April, followed by a season-ending left shoulder injury in June requiring his second surgery in three years.

    Not really they just had homegrown talent that progressed to arbitration so they went from rock bottom payrolls to a normal small market competitive payroll similar to the Brewers when they won in 2015. And their big free agent signing Gil Meche did not turn out well for them.
  22. mudbutt
    I think Kileys top 100 that came out explains it well enough. Pratt is looking like an everyday shortstop and that makes him a solid top 100 prospect. Meanwhile Made is compared to Lindor but is basically an incomparable package with an unlimited ceiling. So it’s not that Pratt has lost any shine, it’s just Made on his way to being the best prospect in the game.
  23. mudbutt
    Maybe wishful thinking on my part that I can go see him again in Appleton. :) Definitely will be buying some cold weather early season tickets just in case.
  24. mudbutt
    If Jett isn't playing CF because of not liking what they see out of Ortiz in ST or whatever, I think the likeliest and easiest thing to do is have him at SS in AAA and just keep Pratt at AA. There's not a much of a difference between AA and AAA these days and it's not like Pratt's bat earned him a no doubt promotion last year either. Then whatever happens in the season will happen but I assume then Pratt will be at SS at AAA later in the season ideally.

    https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6985939/2026/01/26/top-mlb-prospects-2026-keith-law-konnor-griffin/ Keith Law's Top 100 is out with Made 3, Pena 27, Jett 45, Quero 74, Sproat 75, Pratt 99. Thinks Jett will end up in CF to take advantage of his speed.
