Trending Up, Trending Down In Brewers’ Minor-League System
THREE TRENDING UP SS Orlando Arcia Arcia has blossomed into a bona fide top-100 prospect, if not more. He’s hitting .308/.351/.448 with four homers and eight stolen bases for Double-A Biloxi, and his defense has also gotten rave reviews from scouts. He’s a well-rounded hitter with sneaky pop, which should allow him to wear out the […]
Game Seventy-Nine Recap: Brewers 4, Phillies 3
TOP PLAY (WPA): On his 23rd pitch of the eighth inning, Ken Giles left a 98-mph heater over the plate against Aramis Ramirez with runners on first and second. It appeared that Ruiz wanted it a bit further off the plate from the Brewers’ third baseman, who has actually been swinging the bat better lately. However, Giles, likely tired […]
Overtaxing The Brewers’ Bullpen
On Monday’s game versus the Phillies, the Brewers found themselves in an all-too-familiar situation. Their starter, Jimmy Nelson, wasn’t pitching well, giving up a pair of runs in the first and second innings, which put the Brewers in an early 4-1 deficit.

Game Seventy-Eight Recap: Brewers 7, Phillies 4
TOP PLAY (WPA): With runners on the corners and nobody out in the sixth inning, Aramis Ramirez lined a 90-mph fastball from Sean O’Sullivan into the right-center gap, which scored two runs and put the Brewers ahead 5-4 (+.209 WPA). For a lack of a better term, Ramirez has gotten old quickly in 2015. His […]
Carlos Gomez Is Pressing
Amid the many facets of Milwaukee’s disappointing season, Carlos Gomez has seemingly fallen from his lofty perch as one of baseball’s best outfielders. After topping 5.0 WARP in each of the past two seasons, he has currently compiled 1.1 WARP for 2015, while PECOTA only projects him to finish the year with a 2.7 WARP. That remains […]

It’s not a stretch to suggest that prospect watching and trade rumors often fill the imagination of any dedicated fan. Dreaming on that hot-shot shortstop who can’t legally buy a […]
