2017 Draft Pick Discussion, Rounds 1-5

[Jenkins5]

There goes Beck.... kind of disappointed

[miggs721]

If its not Adell i am gonna be dissapointed, if its that pitcher from Oregon, I am gonna toss some cheap ass bobbleheads onto the road

[narwhalattack]

Pavin Smith to the D-Backs

[djd1228]

What do we think of haseley as a possibility?

[Boomer5]

I'm not sure Adell will ever make contact in the minors let alone against MLB pitching, even though he has a few 60 scores.

 

I almost always want a position player over a pitcher because the value is usually better. But we have so few pitchers in the minors I wouldn't mind JBB.

Yeah don't see enough ceiling with Peterson.... Baz, Hall, Rogers all better option if we go pitcher. I don't mind Bukauskas. I'd still love Adell, can't ignore that insane ceiling there.

[Eye Black]

Assuming the Phillies take Haseley here are my favorite six options remaining for the Brewers in order...

 

1) Shane Baz

2) JB Bukauskas

3) Keston Hiura

4) David Peterson

5) Trevor Rogers

6) Jordon Adell

[And That]

Here's my pref list:

 

1)Bukauskas

2)Hall

3)Carlson

4)Baz

5)White

[monkeyman343434]

Looks like mlb network let the pick slip early. Looks like it's Hiura?

[djd1228]

Lol at MLB network giving away the pick

[Eye Black]

I know they are going to take some heat, but I LOVE the pick.

[JDBrewCrew]

It's Huera. Woof.

[trwi7]

Rob Manfred doesn't know how to say Irvine.

[Boomer5]

Hiura. Underslot I assume due to TJS?

[JDBrewCrew]

So do we think this will be underslot?

[streetsahead]

Was looking for pitching, but i like the pick.

[patrickgpe]

i won't judge the pick until the end of the night, pick reminds me of Mat LaPorta, in as he was a great hitter that came out of nowhere.

[Oxy]

So much for toolsy guys. The Bat Plays! He'll put up monster numbers in the minors and get the bigs quick. Just hope he brings his glove.

[paul253]

I just don't see how you pass on Baz, Buskauskas and Faedo for a guy who doesn't have a true position and will likely end up at either second base or left field. As usual I will root for the guy but as usual I walk away shaking my head.

Varsho is 3rd on this list, FYI

[Daubs]

Keith Law:

 

Brewers get the player most national guys told me had the best pure hit tool in the class in Keston Hiura. He didn't play the field all spring due to an arm injury but should eventually return to second base where his bat and power could make him a star.

[StearnsFTW]

Just glad it wasn't Peterson.

[narwhalattack]

I recall saying that the Brewers may pick someone not many people expected, and they delivered. I don't know much about Hiura, but apparently he's got a good bat.

[MilwaukeeBeers]

Like the pick better be underslot though.

[homer]

Just watched video....wow, quick hands.
