Interesting to see what the brewers do in 2018 when their player development contract is up with Colorado Springs, maybe a switch to the international league is in within their sights, could set off ripple effects through out the pcl and international league

I never understood why the Rockies didn’t stay with Colorado Springs. Yeah, it’s horrible for pitchers, but it’s a more realistic preparation for Coors Field than any other AAA city.

good call, the team ownership has to ask why local fans would pay to see a AAA team play when you can drive a little further ( depending on where you live) and pay a little more to see the big leaguers play.

Because you get to see players trying their hardest to survive and make the team, and the night out doesn’t cost $100 minimum per person. I much prefer Raniers games with $2 beers than Ms games where I can’t eat out for the rest of the month if I buy 3 beers.

After watching jungmann vs Colorado, I am pretty much done with him. For some reason he can pitch ok in the minors, not c-springs, but when he comes up to mil, he forgets everything and reverts back to his terrible self. Granted competition is way tougher, but I saw pitches not close to the strike zone, including almost hitting 2 batters. Time to let him go. Bust draft pick.

…Brewers infielder Jonathan Villar, said today on MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM (Twitter link) that “willing to bet on himself and go year-to-year unless they approach us with a contract that makes sense.” …
Translation: after one good year out of five, pay me like I am a free agent ($20,000,000 per year for 10 years).

I don’t completely understand it. Villar is a little bit better version of Chris Carter. Yes he steals a ton of bases. He also gets tossed out a ton. He also plays bad defense. He forgot to cover second on a throw from Braun getting to the bag barely in enough time to get the throw. He has already been picked off base and caught stealing. He was “athletic” enough to make a diving stab at an in field pop up but it still bounced off the heal of his glove. That play in particular could have ended the inning on a double play but instead the Rockies go on to score four more runs.
Yet despite all this he wants big money? Let him play out his contract or keep him until Isan Diaz or Mauricio Dubon is ready to take over second base. Stearns wants to give him a big contract? At least give him another year to prove he is worth the money.

“Villar is a little bit better version of Chris Carter.” While I understand where you’re trying to take this, that’s a really strange comp, and Villar’s kind of a lot better than Carter honestly

Villar is a bad defensive player, but that’s not out of place on the Brewers. I don’t quite understand their mindset on this but having such bad defenders at basically every position hurts their pitching staff, which is already pretty middling. Making mediocre starters throw extra pitches because their infielders can’t make outs behind them is a recipe for disaster.
