Wilken just hit a bomb. Second home run in as many days. He's quietly been playing much better lately.

Saw his OPS was over .850. Would love to see him get back on track.

Saw his OPS was over .850. Would love to see him get back on track.

As of a couple of nights ago he was leading the league in walks. So it's a pretty inflated number, but it's better than the alternative. Like that the power is finally showing up a bit though.

Is Jeferson Quero still out with injury? I noticed he didn’t have any at bats this year yet. I know his injury is fairly significant from last year.

Be curious who of these 5 lives up to the hype. I feel like Pratt is the one I would have the most confidence in. Made is still pretty young, Misio may not figure out the control issues, Quero is coming off a pretty significant injury. Pena I will admit I know the least about, but also looks like real young.

[ReasonablySober]

I would have had Payne in there somewhere too, but otherwise they got the right guys. Misiorowski is starting to show there's life for him as a starter, in which case he would be ranked about 30 spots too low.

Might be time to start paying attention to Carolina C/DH Marco Dinges, 2024 4th rounder. He's got 2 walks and 2 hits today, bringing his average up to .372 with an OPS over 1.100.

Hot Sheet time:

18. Tyson Hardin, RHP, Brewers
Team: High-A Wisconsin (Midwest)
Age: 23
Why He’s Here: 0-0, 0.00, 7 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 9 SO, 0 HR
The Scoop: Hardin is yet another find by the Brewers’ amateur team, as the righthander was picked in the 12th round of last July’s draft. After spending nearly all of his time at Mississippi State as a reliever, Hardin has seamlessly made the transition to starting. Over five starts spanning 25.2 innings, Hardin has allowed two earned runs while striking out 29 batters to four walks. This week, he spun seven scoreless innings, allowing just four hits, no walks and striking out nine. He kept the ball on the ground, too, resulting in seven ground balls. Hardin has excellent stuff, sitting 94-95 mph from a 5-foot-3 release height and generating a flat plane of approach. His primary secondary is a low-90s cutter, and he also mixes in a low-to-mid-80s sweeper and changeup. Hardin is one of the biggest pop-up prospects of the season’s opening month. (GP)

I haven't dug into it, but maybe brewerfanatic.com might have some Brewers related stuff.

Otherwise Baseball America is the best resource.

It's time to call Mis up. No way he's not one of our 5 best SP

I’m just expecting them to draft a SS or CF again. The only year they drafted a different position was Wilken.

Yea, I don't know what they should do here. I think there's legit reasons to keep him down until late in the season. Build up his work load in the minors so he'll have no restrictions next year. Preserve his prospect status so they could be in line for draft pick compensation when he opens next season in the majors. They could keep letting him work on his secondary stuff and command. I dunno. That's probably what I'm hoping they do. But he'd definitely get outs up here now.

Carolina's putting on a show. 16-1 in the eighth. Made's got five RBI. Pena has four.

"He was great," general manager Matt Arnold said of Misiorowski, who has struck out 54 in 42 ⅓ innings on the season. "I had it on my iPad, so I was following along and it was really fun to watch."

"I mean, he's definitely gotten our attention with what he's been able to do," said Arnold. "Not just the stuff, because he's always had the stuff. It's really just the ability to start and to execute through a lineup, command the ball.

"The way that he's overwhelming for hitters at times is something that's been pretty impressive."

Considering Misiorowski's domination to date, Arnold was asked if it's getting to the point where the Brewers – who have been battling an unprecedented amount of injuries in their rotation since spring training – need to consider bringing their 2022 second-rounder up and making a spot for him.

"It's probably case by case," Arnold said. "I certainly think Miz has the type of stuff that you want to take care of. He has that kind of upside for us. And so you want to make sure if and when a guy arrives at the big-league level that you put them in a position to succeed and then also be sensitive to what type of role they've been in, in the minor leagues.

"What that workload looks like. Everything from their nutrition, their off days, et cetera – they have a routine down there. Then, how do we transition that here? All those factors are in play for us."

Misiorowski isn't the only starter who's in the discussion for a rotation spot, either.

Brandon Woodruff and Aaron Civale are both at Nashville, with Woodruff pitching one more shortened rehab outing before finally rejoining the Brewers for the first time since September 2023.

The way things have lined up, it appears as though Woodruff would make his first start at American Family Field sometime during the May 16-18 weekend series against the Minnesota Twins.

Civale, who's been out since straining a hamstring in the opening series, threw 50 pitches in three innings for Nashville in his first rehab start on May 8 and has likely a couple more before he's also deemed ready to go.

Then there are left-handers Aaron Ashby and DL Hall, swing men who both have had or will have their rehab stints transferred to Nashville as well. They're being looked at as length options out of the bullpen once healthy, with the ability to eventually return to starting at some point.

"I think it's a good problem to have," Arnold said. "I mean, anytime you have guys coming back that are established major-league starters, young guys that have emerged, I do think that's a good problem for us. We have to see how all of these things progress.

"There's information that we're gaining every single day with these guys in different outings, and then it also gets into different ways you can potentially deploy these guys as well – whether that's maybe as a length option at the front of the game or the middle of the game, potentially as well.

"We've been creative with that in the past, and so we're open to that with with a lot of these different scenarios."

Seems likely that by the end of the year the Brewers could have three top ten in all of baseball prospects in Made, Pena, and Miz.

interesting how they have Jacob a lot higher than some others
If he can just gain some control he could be an elite SP. I am still not sure of him though. If he has the pitches to make it as an SP or if he will be a closer. At some point you got to think they bring him up this year, if not now, when is what i keep asking. I know they want that extra year of control, but thought it was telling they did not bring him up earlier this year

Jesus Made. Just amazing power for someone so young. I would be fine with him continuing the majority of the season in Single A but brewers really love to test young guys and put them in higher levels.
