[And That]

And the Brewers take...

[And That]

Taylor Jungmann. Discuss.

[narwhalattack]

I'm immensely disappointed.

[Raw Biz]

I'm immensely disappointed.

Agree. I really wanted Lindor/Baez and if both were gone, then I wanted Gray. There's still a shot at 15, though I wouldn't mind a bat there.

[YoungGeezy]

Great! High floor- okay ceiling pitcher! Thanks Bruce, we didn't have enough of those laying around! Just pick Meyer at 15 and make me the worlds mist disappoint Brewer dan in the world. Tough to dig out of this hole already.

[patrickgpe]

get Gray at 15 and I'll be happy. Jungmann is no more that a #3 starter which they need to do better with the 12th pick.

[TheCrew07]

As I've said many times I feared the Brewers would start drafting high floor/low ceiling players to replenish the system quickly, and here we go.

A bit dramatic, no?

 

 

And Jungmann has more than an "OK," ceiling.

[Raw Biz]

From what I've read, I agree with those who say high floor/low ceiling. I really wanted something more out of the 12 spot.

[patrickgpe]

if they get Barnes or Gray, at 15 I'd be happy. I don't think drafting college players to replenish their system is the worst thing as long as they don't miss.

[miggs721]

You guys are really having sour grapes...hahaha, 13-1...ok, its not who you wanted but give Seid a chance....[removed] armchair gm's. you have your profession for a reason..you wanted a future reliever in Gray at 12, you may get him at 15

[derflotr]

So why does this guy allegedly have a "low" ceiling?

[SenatorShriv]

"[Removed]armchair gm's"

pretty sure that's the point of this website...

 

Count me in the slightly disappointed crowd. I didn't have two favorites lined up but I wanted them to go high ceiling and was willing to risk the potential low reward risk that comes with those guys sometimes.

[southpaw121505]

A 6'6 220 lb 18 year old that has touched 98 is low ceiling? .........what

[miggs721]

because every board member says so

[YoungGeezy]

I have never been a fan of Jungmann but yes over dramatic. I don't think is great, don't think we will be a stand out prospect, but hopefully I am wrong.

[miggs721]

just cant wait til they eat crow and quit overreacting...most people had jungman at 10 or 11...just sayin

[PeaveyFury]

Disagreement and debate are a good thing, but please remember that swearing here is not.

[TheCrew07]

So why does this guy allegedly have a "low" ceiling?

Scouting reports said he hits 98, but he sat in the high 80s the other day, that's very average velocity for a RHP. If he's regularly at 93-95 then his upside is a #2 which isn't so bad.

[YoungGeezy]

Since when is he 18?

[GB12]

A 6'6 220 lb 18 year old that has touched 98 is low ceiling? .........what

18? He already played 3 years in college and is 21.

[Fear The Chorizo]

So why does this guy allegedly have a "low" ceiling?

Because he's an established college pitcher who was the ace of an always strong Texas Longhorn program...I don't know, probably because he isn't still in high school and can throw 100, like many of the other arms picked in front of him that will inevitably get injured and amount to set up men for their organization's AA affiliates.

 

I think the poor showing Arnett has shown so far has led too many on the board to overreact on the selection of a 6' 6" righthander who consistently pitches in the mid-90's with good control. I like the pick.

 

 

[miggs721]

love the jed bradley pick....just love it
