Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Joey Wiemer had many ups and downs during his 2023 rookie season.  Overall he had a slash line of .204/.283/.362 with 13 home runs, 42 RBI, and a 76 OPS+.  When recently asked about his performance last year he described it as “not great”. Over the off-season Joey Wiemer has made adjustments to his swing.  In footage available his approach seems simplified and more natural.  Throughout most of last year he would appear to be swinging as hard as he could and trying to force action at the plate.  This year his swing and approach is going…

The Milwaukee Brewers have strung together six consecutive winning seasons (excluding the shortened 2020 season) that have resulted in playoff appearances in 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2023 with three division titles.  Despite this track record of success the Brew Crew never get the benefit of the doubt and the latest outrageous trade prediction piece from Bleacher Report is evidence of this. Bleacher report completely disrespects the Milwaukee Brewers in their latest trade proposal piece.  In what is supposed to be a fun trade prediction piece revolving around where top MLB players involved in trade rumors will finish the 2024…

The Milwaukee Brewers Cactus League record dropped to 1-2 on Monday afternoon after they lost 8-3 against the Cincinnati Reds.  On both sides this game featured a ton of prospects.  For the Brew Crew two teenagers got an opportunity and Pat Murphy spoke highly of them after the game. Pat Murphy would love to keep prospect Luis Lara in camp all spring. 19 year old switch hitter Luis Lara is one prospect who shot up the prospect ranking boards last season and is poised to make another big jump again in 2024.  He didn’t hit for much power last…

The Milwaukee Brewers currently have one of the best farm systems in baseball.  Several prospect ranking sites have them ranked second and trailing only the Baltimore Orioles.  Having prospects with great potential such as Jackson Chourio, Jeferson Quero, Jacob Misiorowski, Tyler Black, Joey Ortiz, and Robert Gasser has led to their high ranking. Recently one Milwaukee Brewers prospect, who is not ranked in the top 100 by any site, has seen his prospect status gain steam.  The website Prospect Tilt has been leading this hype train and providing incredible information as to why his stock is “ready to explode”. Milwaukee…

David Stearns, who is in his first year as president of baseball operations for his childhood team the New York Mets, recently joined Sports Network New York in the booth for a spring training game.  One question he was asked was if he realized the differences between working for the Mets and the Milwaukee Brewers.  He was brutally honest in his response.

The Milwaukee Brewers, like almost every season, are not the unanimous choice to win the National League Central Division.  Heading into 2024 the St. Louis Cardinals have improved, the Cincinnati Reds have added some new pieces around their talented young players, and most recently the Chicago Cubs have made a significant addition by re-uniting with a player who finished 10th in MVP voting a season ago. Cody Bellinger has re-signed with the Chicago Cubs.   This off-season Scott Boras has remained patient with a lot of his clients.  Cody Bellinger is one of those players and he is coming off of…

Milwaukee Brewers southpaw Aaron Ashby is looking to make a comeback to the major leagues.  After extensive rehab and conservative treatments on his shoulder he eventually underwent a surgical debridement procedure.  He did return to pitching in live games in 2023, but between decreased velocity and not seeing good results he did not make it back to the big leagues. Is Aaron Ashby healthy for spring training 2024?  At this time Ashby is going through a normal throwing progression.  So far he has thrown bullpen sessions and in the future will throw a simulated game and then appear in a…
