2022 MLB Draft Pick Discussion, Rounds 1-10

[Eye Black]

Please use this thread to share your thoughts, links, stories, pictures and anything else on the Brewers' selections [as well as other teams’ picks] from rounds 1 through 10. Please do not start separate threads to discuss the individual picks.

The player I’d love is Ivan Melendez at 27

 

[Eye Black]

Reminder that the Brewers selections this evening are #27 (1st round), #63 (2nd round), and #72 (Comp B round).

[SRB]

Fingers crossed Druw Jones falls another 26 places!

Didn't expect Rocker to get picked this early wow!

[LouisEly]

Rangers lost a lot of picks due to free agent signings... wonder if Rocker took a below-slot deal given that it's a $7.59M slot value.  I'm sure the Rangers would love to have another $1M-$1.5M to entice some HS guys in later rounds.

[Eye Black]

I don’t know where his future is defensively [likely 2B], but it seems Termarr Johnson has the bat to be a thorn in the side of NL Central foes for a long time. He was my favorite hitter in this year’s draft. 

[Eye Black]

A bit of a technicality since Kumar Rocker isn’t considered a college guy, but it’s the first time since 1971 that a college player wasn’t taken in the first five selections of the MLB Draft.

I guess Horton was really rising

[Eye Black]

The Cubs selected RHP Cade Horton (4.86 ERA at OU this season) over Brooks Lee, Cam Collier, Kevin Parada, Gavin Cross, and Jace Jung.

He is coming off of TJ surgery but yeah this is a head scratcher here.

[CheeseheadInQC]

It is tough to tell with all the things that go into the MLB draft, but I wonder if teams are more skeptical about Parada’s ability to stick at catcher than the list makers. 

[Eye Black]

Well half way through the picks occurring before the Brewers first selection (13 of 26). 

[LouisEly]

Jett Williams off the board.  So we won't have to hear about a certain poster complain about lack of upside due to lack of height.

[CheeseheadInQC]

I will probably end up being wrong, but with Horton, Rocker and Hughes off the board, it is feeling like a college bat is increasingly likely.

Can never have enough outfielders.

Cam Collier

[Eye Black]

Dylan Lesko seems like the real deal, I very much like that pick for the Padres.

Pretty sure his upside is 68”.

Cam Collier

No way he lasts that long but he would be an exciting pick.

[CheeseheadInQC]

I wonder how many fiscal hoops a team that would pick Collier or Porter here would have to jump through, let alone by the time the Brewers' pick rolls around.

I guess we will see with the Reds

[Eye Black]

Pirates and Reds both add very exciting HS hitters. Curious to see where the financials land with Collier. 

[Soupbone]

Guess not

[CheeseheadInQC]

I kind of figured that the Braves were stringing Collier with the extra pick they traded for providing the money, but I guess not. We'll see if it is Porter instead or if they just wanted another pick.
