    So isn't that why they went out and got Harrison, Drohan, and Sproat, no? More depth, because it is always needed.

    Just so interesting the statement that the Crew would like another trustworthy (is that meaning proven?) righthander in the pen. Very unlikely there is a Megill trade coming, then. Unless it is in June when they have some young guys having proven things? They certainly have a lot of arms as options to work in the pen.

    If Sal gets to 200 hits, being around 10 homers isn't going to matter.
  4. MattK
    Actually I noticed that in the box score on MLB. The last pitch to 2 different hitters was listed over 97. Certainly exciting, agreed.
  5. MattK
    Completely agree. Indeed, with the starting pitching depth, shouldn't the Crew have 2 or 3 of those types in the pen, so their are only a few 1 inning pitchers?

    Steve, I was a little surprised to see Lockridge be mentioned that way. I had been thinking that spot was also going to be up for grabs.

    3B for a year or two, then deal when the kids get to MKE?

    Unsure it is likely the Crew will decline the $14MM option next year, I'd say. Seems Wild Bill at that price will still be a good deal next year.
  9. MattK
    At least this year it is not "too few first or third basemen", going into the season.

    Love all the stuff like this you put together, Jake!
  11. MattK
    As you presented, Jake, this is certainly interesting and makes a lot of sense that he is making smart choices.
  12. MattK
    Ditto this. Great news-discovering content with analysis, folks!
  13. MattK
    Great series, Michael!
  14. MattK
    Agreed. Very reasonable thoughts. Out of the fan base, though, is the concern that this philosophy, along with major focus on the young player acquisition & development side of the house, will continue to tease with playoff appearances without really actually giving the chance to win the World Series. Freddy is the specific case where keeping him only for 2026, even if the overall cost (not getting high level prospects, but only a draft pick) is high, the potential to reach the World Series has likely diminished. And if the club's ability to find gems in Latin America or via the draft would drop, it will be much tougher to stay at the level of making the playoffs. One thing I will be curious about, as some of the current prospect group gets closer to the majors, is whether multiple examples of the Chourio contract will be extended to the youngsters? Will the front office be fine with Made & Pena on 8yr, X million deals at the same time as Chourio? Would they offer Turang, Misiorowski (Priester? Frelick?) longer term multi million dollar deals, or will the can kicking and reliance on the farm system to supply cheaper, but not as major league ready players, continue?

    Thank you for all you have put into finding info to share across the community!

    Really liked seeing Fangraphs have Sproat & Williams with 50 FV. Possibly means Sproat rivaling Henderson as the top pitching prospect in the system, and Williams being with or ahead of Pratt for future projection. All of course while mourning Peralta leaving. :-(
  17. MattK
    All 4 make some sense as solid enough floor guys.
  18. MattK
    Guys, am I right that it is Mo-nays?
  19. MattK
    Ugh. Make a lot of sense, but also a sad thing.
  20. MattK
    Special advisor = maybe something, maybe not so much. If he adds, he adds, or he may be gone soon. Interesting sideways way to spend a little $$.
  21. MattK
    Love this, Jake, thank you for the analysis! The one I tripped on, so had to check, is that you were saying Made is 19, but I was thinking he is actually 18. So I checked; birthdate May 8, 2007. All this great stuff, and he won't be 19 until early May!
  22. MattK
    Echo this completely! The base for more and more talent getting to the majors is in place ...
  23. MattK
    Ha! Agreed. I think beginning with the fact that Pratt will just be starting in AAA in the spring, and didn't blow folks away in Biloxi in 2025 ... sorta means this would be premature. Give him that half-season/season to see where he is at.
  24. MattK
    Great numbers! I guess I'm confused why the ones we traded away are not calculated for all years combined after leaving the Crew, instead of only for one team. It seems Hader, Grisham, Zach Davies, and Burnes may all be a bit higher ... as an example. I would think that should count, no? Still the Crew well ahead in that trade +/- with excellent numbers.
  25. MattK
    I'll be curious if that is able to continue for the Crew. With Made (and others?) potentially joining Chourio near the top of prospect lists, and Turang, Frelick, Miz(?) (others?) as quality MLBers, will the Crew wind up having a few contacts in that $100MM range in the near term? The high quality prospects are a great cheap resource, but also eventually you have to deal with the fan base having the connection with those players as well. And potential kickback if dealing them after some years.
