Purple Reign CKJAX

Wow. Looks like MKE jumped up quite a bit in the rankings since I last checked. They began their fire sale/rebuild last summer, after starting '15 like the Twins. For the previous 4 years the Brewers had been bottom feeders on the farm front,ranking between 25-30 under Melvin.

As many have alluded -- The cost to reel in Trout is probably too much for Terry's taste. So, maybe he could put together a smaller package of prospects to swap for Ryan Braun!? The Brewers are in the same type of rebuilding mode as the Twins -- but Milwaukee has the worst farm system in baseball. Doug Melvin depleted it until the day he got 'demoted'. So, what would it take to trade for Braun ... the "poor man's Trout"?

Kudos on the clever headline.
