    And that directly and provably benefits the Brewers how? Did the Brewers get a huge cut of the TV and merch revenues from the WBC since they had so many players involved? I don't care how it makes foreign born players "feel". I just want them healthy and producing for OUR team. There have been thousands of players from various nations for several decades that didn't need the WBC to motivate them to play well for their MLB employer. They likely thanked God for blessing them with the opportunity to play professional baseball in the U.S. Would fans get the same warm fuzzies if Chourio (or Turang) was lost for the BREWERS 2026 season by some injury sustained in the WBC. I get the "feel good" aspect of the WBC, And truly, it's probably good for marketing baseball, growing the sport to combat the poularity of soccer. It's especially good for MLB corporates. But small market MIL can't afford that risk of losing a precious and rare asset, however long the odds might be of it occurring in my view. Glad it's not an annual thing.

    Yeah, not a fan of the WBC for just this reason. Could have happened in a spring training game too, but that is a necessary risk. Risking injury in the WBC is not, and is probably a heightened risk as guys are playing more competitively in the WBC, more adrenaline etc. I just don't get the love affair with the cheesy WBC. Guys playing for teams they sometimes have the thinnest of ancestral connections too is just dumb.

    I find "bat to ball skills" annoying. Just say contact.
  4. Turning2
    My guess - if the bat keeps showing up for hard contact resulting in extra base hits, he will eventually be traded. Probably for something like a High A / AA pitching prospect. They're going to take a loss on him ROI wise. Just didn't pan out as hoped in MIL. He would benefit from being traded to a team with an inferior farm system. Will never forget his pops (a game caller from Canada) calling his son's first MLB hit while being interviewed by Sophia.

    Perkins is on the bubble. They needed to upgrade the offensive production from CF. JW was not what I thought they should do, but that’s what we got. That, and hoping Lockridge isn’t just a spring training hero.
  6. Turning2
    Bring some of that heat back with you.

    Pratt breaking up the perfect game with a clutch walk in the bottom of the ninth. And Burke ending the no hitter. Saving something out of this wretched display. Nice to see somebody have some spunk today.
  8. Turning2
    I recall reading or hearing about that as well. Not sure how legit the info source was. Felt like kind of a boilerplate comment as in "when a guy doesn't cut it in the IF, you can always at least try to convert him to OF".
  9. Turning2
    I forgot they still had that long of control on him. That changes the dynamic of this fantasy exercise.
  10. Turning2
    Definitely intriguing. I suppose most fans of any team feel the same regardless of how high their pool of prospects rank.
  11. Turning2
    Obviously, all these guys won't cut it at the top level. Some may get traded. They are currently so well stocked though, I got to trying to fit them all in as if they somehow all DID cut it. Unless the new CBA changes considerably, I don't think they can extend Turang or Contreras. Thus, I focused solely on the prospects for 2028 (and beyond). I got as the starters, and I tried to keep them at their current listed positions. 1B / Burke 2B / Made SS / Pratt 3B/ Fischer Wilken slots in at DH Adams backs up 1B Pena, William backup utility
  12. Turning2
    Suspend reality, Pretend its 2028. Assume the near future infield is made up of only MIL's current hot prospects that everybody is excited about. What is your alignment using the current top farmers? Mix and match positions as you see fit. Add other prospects if you wish like Adamczewski, Boeve, Ebed etc. 1B / Adams, Burke, Bitonti 2B / Made, Pena, Williams SS / Pratt, Made, Pena, Williams 3B / Wilken, Fischer, Adams, Pena
  13. Turning2
    He's checks off a lot of boxes no doubt, but I'm not sold yet on his future at SS. I wouldn't be surprised if he replaces Turang at 2B in the future rather than Ortiz. (Unless the new CBA dramatically changes the ability of small market teams to retain their stars, Turang won't be extended.)
  14. Turning2
    Exactly. Everybody assumes young guys will agree to an early, long term, cheap deal like Chourio did. Not necessarily. Also, everybody assumes that every shiny prospect who signs these types of deals will pan out and pay off BIG. Chourio set the precedent for MIL interests. Others who come after might be thinking "he shorted himself out of several hundred million dollars". Bird in hand versus two in the bush... each guy approaches that differently.
  15. Turning2
    Has anyone reported how much throwing Priester did in the offseason?
  16. Turning2
    MIL desperately needs at least one of these two to develop into an above average power bat capable of 100+ ribbies and 30+ dingers. Feels like Wilken might get squeezed out in favor of Fischer. Adams has to contend with Burke, and maybe Bitonti in the near future after Vaughn is gone. Boeve is in the mix somewhere too. It's great to have some competition for power.
  17. Turning2
    So many intriguing prospects. We know not all of them will pan out. Pratt needs a solid year at the plate, or he might be one that lingers in the minors or becomes trade bait. Hope not.
  18. Turning2
    Woodruff and now Priester with a setback. Really wonder how much bang for the big bucks they're going to get out of Woody.
  19. Turning2
    I like the ABS. It might have an unintended consequence though with an influence on the umpire's ego or psyche. Recently Wilyer Abreu challenged a full count strike 3 call and immediately started taking off his armor and walking to first before the ABS call was announced. He was right to challenge, it was ball 4. But showing up the ump like that could easily come back to bite in a future at bat when the team is out of challenges. The only thing I don't like about ABS is that the data over analyzers have probably already dreamt up some new measurement like ABSWar.
  20. Turning2
    They are going to find a way to get that cheap, home grown power in the MLB lineup eventually. Might not be this year, but probably after the lockout dust has settled. They damn well better be patient in nurturing his development and not trade him. He's a potential high K, but high HR type guy. Brewers have to stop being so allergic to that component type in a lineup.
  21. Turning2
    You don’t get to October without a top of the rotation arm pitching like an ace for most of the season. Ease him along for too long, and there might not be playoffs for him to pitch in. I don’t like it, but have to trust the organization on this one. Really wonder who would be the ace had Woody rejected the QO. They were set on trading Peralta regardless.
  22. Turning2
    Just watched the White Sox game. All the guys seem to have huge thighs. In particular, Black, Made and Lara seem bigger, thicker than I recall. Wonder if it's a TV production mirage thing.
  23. Turning2
    Maybe It’s just due to having Brewers ball to watch, but it’s not as bad as I first thought. Still think a darker contrast top is a more natural color scheme combination.
  24. Turning2
    I'd love to go back 40+ years and give that a try LOL. Actually, I did OK at the plate too. I said glove first, not "only glove"...
  25. Turning2
    As a former glove first SS, I very much appreciate what he brings to the team and am rooting for him. If he can get the bat back into the .240 range, that's good enough for me.
