I'm still not clear on why the Brewers are encouraging this development approach. If he is not going to retain this trait then why do it. He just needs to correct it next year. Maybe its just 3D chess, but it does not make sense to me.

So what your saying is he is consistently inconsistent in his in-year performance. 😃

The Mets with 90 wins is pretty entertaining. Seems like we do need to play the season and not just rely on who has the best offseason.

The Brewers represent well here...

I agree that Chourio defense has been very good this year. His all around game has improved as well, but at the same time you could say he's been remarkable consistent his first three years in the majors. That's impressive for a guy coming up as a teenager. He has hit exactly 21 HRs each year (hopefully he will have a few more this year). His wRC+ is 119, 112, and 122. His OPS is 791, 770, and 810. Again, he is better this year than previously but its incremental. He did already start at a pretty high level to begin his career, so it wont take too much to achieve superstar level. He is moving in the right direction for sure.

Its pretty amazing that Hall might be their 6 or 7th best reliever right now. Their bullpen is really amazing.

Its probably going to be both. One doesn't have to be up the entire month. They will likely do one for a couple weeks and then the other, that way they can manage Naylor's service time.

Quero is catching again so it could be him as well, though unlikely

From MLB.com: Scouting grades: Fastball: 55 | Slider: 55 | Cutter: 50 | Changeup: 40 | Control: 55 | Overall: 50 Hardin spent two years at Daytona State College before transferring to Mississippi State, only to never break out of the Bulldogs' bullpen. The Brewers still took him in the 12th round in 2024, signed him for $147,500 and transitioned him to a starting role on the pro side with impressive early results. Hardin posted a 2.72 ERA and a 1.18 WHIP with 96 strikeouts over 96 innings between High-A and Double-A in his first full season. His 4.4 percent walk rate and 20.4 percent K/BB rate were tops among Brewers farmhands with at least 90 frames in ’25. The 6-foot-2 right-hander sits 93-95 mph with his four-seam fastball, and he makes up for the average velocity by generating decent ride from a low release. He’ll wear out the top rail of the zone with that four-seamer and then drop in a low-80s slider that gets good sweep to the lower gloveside corner. An upper-80s cutter isn’t quite as sharp as others in its pitch class, but the jump in velo from the slider allows it to sneak up on lefties, leading to soft contact. Hardin has an upper-80s changeup for opposite-side bats, but it’s too firm, leading to issues with splits. Hardin flows well on the mound and kept pumping strikes at each level in 2025. That type of control helped his case not only to start but to remain in a bulkier role in his first taste of the pros. Better batters might have more success against him in the zone, and that’s something that will be tested at the upper levels. If his gains continue, Hardin could factor into Milwaukee’s rotation depth by the second half of his age-24 season. View full player

Well, dont I feel dumb. I guess I need to start a page then 😄

It would be cool to have a wiki page for each prospect. Where users could add specific details on the player, such as ratings (FV, grades), what types of pitches they throw, how hard they throw, present injury status and updates. That info would be overwhelming for the staff to maintain (especially for each prospect) but would not be too hard for a community to do, particularly with this one that has so many minor league gurus. That info is all available within the forums but just not in any one place for each prospect. Maybe even link or pull in statistics onto the page automatically. Alternatively or in addition, just improving the search function would be helpful. If you search on a name it will give you hundreds (thousands) of hits many from the same thread. Which i understand why but it has no intelligence to filter out redundant/duplicate info. Not sure how I would make it better but I have found its pretty much an unusable feature of the forums.

Agreed. This is always a fun topic. Predicting the pitchers will be hard because, as you say, there are so many candidates for pitchers who were hurt and need more playing time. I'll start with the hitters, which are surprisingly also hard for the exact opposite reason. Luis Pena is the only one that fits that category but I think its likely they just want him to have a full offseason to recover. Unless he is feeling fully healthy. Maybe Dinges if he can work on catching? Or Wilken or Jett Williams (if healthy)? From what I could find, each team can send up to 3 hitters and 4 pitchers, one of which can be below AA. If any of this is incorrect please correct as I found lots of contradictory info online.

They need more power in their lineup

Adams also has to be protected anyways this offseason from the Rule 5 draft. Burke doesn't until after the 2027 season. So all things being equal, they would add Adams before Burke.
