2022 MLB Draft Pick Discussion, Rounds 1-10

[Eye Black]

Was low key hoping Cooper Hjerpe would be available at the Brewers pick, really would’ve preferred he didn’t go to St. Louis. I can already envision him shutting down the Brewers lineup a couple of years from now.

Hjerpe off the board to the Classies.

He could probably do it now - lol

[CheeseheadInQC]

So Prielipp, Tidwell, Campbell on the mound, Graham on the infield and a whole bunch of outfielders left with three picks to go.

[Eye Black]

With three more picks before the Brewers selection there are still several good college outfielders available. Also RHP Justin Campbell is someone previously linked to the Brewers and still available.

You could envision any pitcher shutting down the Brewers lineup.  And probably a couple of position players too.

 

Also, did Karl Ravech just call a 5'11 guy tall?  I'm flattered being 5'11 myself but I also know it's not true.

[LouisEly]

I could see Boston or NYY take Prielipp, but I really hope they don't.  He's my top choice of the guys who are left.

[sveumrules]

Spencer Jones to NYY just makes too much sense.

[Eye Black]

Best available per Baseball America's list...

7) Brock Porter, RHP, St. Mary's Prep, Orchard Lake, Mich.

15) Robby Snelling, LHP, McQueen HS, Reno, Nev.

18) Drew Gilbert, OF, Tennessee

19) Jacob Melton, OF, Oregon State

20) Dylan Beavers, OF, California

21) Justin Campbell, RHP, Oklahoma State

22) Carson Whisenhunt, LHP, East Carolina

23) Sterlin Thompson, OF, Florida

24) Blade Tidwell, RHP, Tennessee

25) Brock Jones, OF, Stanford

[sveumrules]

Reading Drew Gilbert’s scouting reports has some serious Frelick vibes. 

Could bump Chourio to Wisco, Peters to Biloxi and Sal to Nashville.

Would be pretty thrilled with a Drew Gilbert selection here.

Commercial during a Wisconsin sports team's draft pick.  It's as comfortable as hot chocolate by a fire during a cold winter's night.

[Eye Black]

Sounds like it's [likely] Coastal Carolina SS Eric Brown for the Brewers.

[Platoon Power]

Drew Gilbert screams Brewer with his college production.

Is he a light hitting SS?  That's what I was guessing would be their pick, just don't know enough about the prospects to pick the right one.

[LouisEly]

Ha!  I had him as one of my 2nd round picks.

[trwi7]

"Exit velocity is shockingly good."

 

As they show him weakly hitting a ball through the hole.  Dude looks like wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man as a hitter.

[CheeseheadInQC]

Can't say I saw that one coming.

[ClosetBrewerFan]

Maybe an underslot signing?

[BlazingGunz]

Save some slot money with that pick - I like him, typical Brewers up the middle guy.  

[paul253]

Why do I even get excited about their drafts anymore? 

[sveumrules]

Yeah, from the scouting report & brief clip upside seems something like Kolten Wong? 

Contact, average, speed, defense second baseman.

Kinda think the Brewers are counting on short players being more valuable once our robot umpire overlords arrive since they’ll have smaller automated zones.

[brewers888]

Not a fan whatsoever as I wanted a pitcher not a weak hitting shortstop.

Shocking.
