[1992casey]

Please use this thread to share your thoughts, links, stories, pictures and anything else on the Brewers' picks on draft day from rounds 1 through 5. Please do not start separate threads to discuss the individual picks.

 

Please use the in-draft thread to talk about the picks, similar to a game thread.

About to get started here and I just wanted to say that I sincerely hope all this talk of a 4yr pitcher has been a savvy smokescreen put up by the organization hiding their desire for a higher upside player.

I wouldn't mind if they took a guy like Ponce (who I've heard good things about) and went under slot, and then used that money to get another mid-first-rounder at 40. Would be disappointed if they go with a guy like Funkhouser who won't even be cheap though.

I agree, hope they take a chance on upside tonight. Let the Ray Montgomery draft era begin.

Me too. No #3 arms please.

Sounds like 1-1 has leaked, I won't post it here though because I know others prefer to follow the announced picks.

I would hate to get a college pitcher. Those guys get abused in college.

This coverage is awful, might have to turn off the sound.

It's a great year to be a shortstop - three straight to start the draft.

I'm watching this livestream as an audio-alternative, though it's on a slight delay: https://www.periscope.tv/w/aEYVMTI4MDIzNDV8MjAzMjEwNjGE0QOWRYDYopsZhg1jqaYO8s-HX3x4Y7Y5Caegl0K59w==

I feel incredibly old when I see the birth dates for these guys

[brewcrewdue80]

Wow. Best pitcher in this draft and they are saying future Closer, not Starter material. Yikes!

[Raw Biz]

I don't know why but I'm not a Kyle Tucker fan.

[TheCrew07]

Best arm... Maybe, not best pitcher.

Just wait a couple more years....we are almost to 2000 birthdates.

I was just going to say this would be a perfect event to utilize Periscope, didn't realize BA was doing one.

Just saying. He was ranked in this case as the #1 Pitcher to draft. If they feel #1 isn't a SP long term but a closer. That's terrible outlook to me for the rest of the Pitchers then if that's their feeling.

[jjkoestler]

No surprises yet. Come on Cam Boogie Jr or Tyler Stephenson....

[TheCrew07]

Twins... I hate you.

[Eye Black]

Well the Daz Cameron slide rumors to a $5 million pay day may indeed have legs.

[splitterpfj]

I'm sure I'll fall way off any minute here, but I have five of the first six picks correct. I can't get the next one right, because the player I had going to Boston went already.

I bet the Braves take him.

I think he ends up an Astro, but I guess neither team would be a shock.

Ben Sheets worked out a lot better than J.M. Gold, Mike Jones, Mark Rogers, and Jeremy Jeffress.

[splitterpfj]

Well, that just figures - I like Ian Happ. I was afraid he'd slide to the Cardinals, so I'd have to hate him, instead, he's a Cub - just lovely.
