Law:

• I spent some time with the Giants’ and Brewers’ Double-A clubs, as they were playing each other every night at the end of the week. Milwaukee outfielder Jackson Chourio is the No. 1 prospect still in the minors, and will be the No. 1 overall prospect by the end of this week, once Corbin Carroll and Gunnar Henderson cross the 130 at bat threshold. I can’t tell you too much you haven’t already heard about Chourio other than reiterating that he’s really, really good. That kid – he just turned 19 three weeks ago – has lightning in his hands. I saw him take a 3-0 fastball off a lefty the other way, homering into the right field corner, and in his next at-bat he tripled off the center-field wall, probably missing an inside-the-park home run only because one of the umpires got in his way. I could nitpick the swing a little bit, but I don’t think it matters. His hands and wrists are so quick and so strong that he can even **** a ball the way he got slightly under that home run and still end up with a good result.

• Milwaukee’s Felix Valerio struggled last year while playing through a sore ankle, continuing to make a ton of contact but hitting just .228/.313/.357. The 5-foot-7 infielder looked much better, hitting several balls hard in the two games I caught, including one massive home run to deep left field off right-hander Carson Seymour, as well as a loud triple off the center-field wall and a hard-hit flyout to left. He doesn’t really have a position, struggling at third base in one of the games I saw, but I do think he’s going to bounce back at the plate and hit for more power and a higher BABIP than last year.

Fun game to play is what's the word Law said above that got banned here?

I try to think I understand service time, but if we send Wiener and Turang down for 15 days we get an added year until they FA, correct? What about Mitchell, would his be 15 in minors days plus whatever he was up last year (maybe 40-45 days)? No way they shipping him down that long but curious if my thought process is right.

And realistically there is zero chance to see Chourio until mid April next year as they likely want to push his FA out as far as possible?

Your thought process is correct. Wiemer needs to be down another 12 days, Turang would need to be down 14 days, and Mitchell would need to be down 14 days plus however long he was up last year.

I doubt we see Chourio this year unless he tears it up and our current rookies struggle so I'd guess you're correct in thinking mid April next year

It's going to be interesting to see how they handle the four young outfielders. They all seem to be above average fielders that can play any of the three OF positions (though Wiemer seems especially great in RF). Do they rotate them at DH? Can Chourio move back to SS, which he played when drafted? Do you trade one of them and, if so, who?

One has to think that at least 1 of the 4 ends up being just okay thus expendable. Ideally it would be nice to trade them while still a coveted prospect but likely will play out at the big league level.

Moore had a great offseason playing in Australia. He could find himself traveling fast through the system.

Definitely excited to see what Gasser does this year. He feels like the guy the Brewers specifically targeted in the Hader deal and I trust their evaluation on pitchers a ton.

He did that off of maybe the #1 pitching prospect in baseball. He's gonna be in Milwaukee as a teen.
