Good article. I'm a big Brewers fan - a small town franchise that CONSISTENTLY outperforms bigger money teams - and it's more than just Pat Murphy. If going after prep guys instead of org guys will produce a few legit prospects, let's do it.

A.A likes to make a big splash Internationally, giving out contracts from $2.5 million to $5 million. None of these have worked out. Although Diego Tornes (2025) looks really good this year. $2.5 million.

Leaving little money to fill in other prospects internationally.

As Baseball America pointed out that contributes to why our system is so thin.

I do think the aggressiveness is part of it too, yeah - moving guys across multiple levels in one season and even debuting them means that the prospect apparatus can't keep up. Good call out.
