Very underwhelmed but then I don't know much about these kids. Herrera walked more than he struck out a year ago. Missaki and Peralta had decent numbers with a great SO/BB ratio. Does anyone have any scouting reports of these prospects?

I will say one thing. All three of these pitchers have incredible SO/W ratios and all have had WHIPs close to 1.00

 

Wonder if that is something they like. Teenagers showing control and high strikeout numbers. Hard to hate on that.

 

EDIT: They all don't give up many homeruns either...which may have to do with park/league factor, but still they all three very rarely give up the long ball.

I want upside. If those guys are at A ball or Rookie league, then great. I know everyone wants impact guys now, but this is one year of Adam Lind - not Carlos Gomez.

 

Stock the system. Steady flow of talent. That's how this franchise is going to win in the future. I love the change in attitude. I'm tired of 'major league ready' players who are marginal talents. Give me guys who can amount to something special. I'll wait the extra few years and take the risk that one of them reaches their potential.

I completely agree. These are three lottery tickets, which is a reasonable return for one year of a platoon 1b (albeit a really cheap, really good platoon 1b).

 

At a glance at their pro stats, it looks like these three guys have two things in common besides youth: smaller size and outstanding K/BB ratios.

#Brewers officially announce the trade of Adam Lind to the Seattler #Mariners for RHPs Daniel Missaki, Carlos Herrera, and Freddy Peralta.

 

 

Oh.......

Don't know any of them, but I am happy to have them in the system. This is really buying a lottery ticket, but I'm okay with that.

Hopefully we look back at this as a great trade but today, it's very underwhelming. I for one will miss Lind at the plate this season. (and yes, I realize he wasn't sticking around)

Pure scouting trade. This is some serious deep mining. Tracking these 3 pitchers this year and in years to come will give us a great insight into the new regime's eye for talent. I wonder what role Montgomery played in all this. This is almost like making selections in the June draft.

Peralta struck out 67 in 57 innings last year in Arizona. Only 8 walks.

Missaki - 34K in 34 IP. Only 5 walks. Midwest league.

Herrera - 73K in 80 IP only 13 walks in the DSL.

This is a trade you'd expect for Scooter or maybe Segura, not Lind.

 

I might be putting too much stock in the top 30 and I certainly have never seen this guys, but its really hard to get excited by our offseason so far..........

Im fine with it, wasn't expecting the moon or anything....thought we'd get at least 1 top 10, 20, 30 prospect considering being #30 for them is equal to being #55 or #60 in our system.

 

I haven't researched at all but our scouts thought they were worth it so. Why not. All need is at least on of these guys to do something for us. Carlos Villenuava was a young 18-19 we never heard of when we traded for him. I considered that a win with the production he gave while here.

all three were undrafted free agents. meaning all 30 teams passed on all 3 40(!!!) times. Sure there is some upside, but its just incredibly LOW return for an affordable 280/20/85 Left-handed hitting MLB firstbaseman. EXTREMELY LOW return. Its like hes purposely passed up on better value to be the 'smartest man in the room' and thats proven to never be a good strategy.

 

the best way i could put this trade is that if the brewers put these three guys together and called all 29 other teams and asked "how will you give me for them" they couldnt even get a big-leaguer maybe not even a fringe top 20 prospect nontheless. adam lind should have brought back a top 10 in a good system top 5 in a system like seattles plus 1 or 2 or even all 3 of these guys.

I believe they were all international signings. Herrera and Missaki were for sure.

The more I look into them, the more I hate this. Well at least some got what they wanted. A bunch of young, controllable players (who will probably never step foot inside of Miller Park unless they buy a ticket). Awesome.

3 young talented pitching prospects for 1 season of a good MLB 1B who is often injured and needs to be platooned?! This was a great trade

 

Very very good to continue rebuilding the farm with young pitching.
