Boy if he turns out anything like Pete Alonso we've done ok for ourselves.

[Brewcrew82]

Like the pick. Almost certainly will be under slot and allows you to go over slot later for someone like Soto. I’m pretty certain we’ll go pitcher next. 

[Brock Beauchamp]

I don't like this pick at all. Dude's name seems sketchy.

[brewcrewdue80]

Nice. Corner IF bat team needs.

The MLB profile says he already has the loft and power needed to hit HRs. No screwing with his launch angle!  Stud forthcoming.

[brewers888]

Avoiding the up the middle athlete that can't hit is a win. Hopefully Wilken can hit enough to make the power useful and sticking at third base would also be a victory.

Tampa drafts well.  Let’s see if they get the higher ranked player.  Dodgers at 30 will no doubt get a superstar 

[brewcrewdue80]

Lol that kid was set for FL St. Now Toronto drafts him.

I did not want to see the Cardinals taking Davis there.....

[brewers888]

Hate seeing St Louis make such a great pick.

I'm a dunce, I didn't get it right away. Hopefully this guy is bad name/ good game!

Haha thought the same thing, here comes 300/30/100 for a decade.

Agree, but at least this doesn't fix their pitching problems.

Yeah that is what I am afraid of.

[Never Outhustled]

Well, we're already close to 33, who do you want?

[Austin Tatious]

He’s got a rocket arm but may be a stiff athlete.  Even if he’s a first baseman, he brings a needed power profile to the system.   Let’s hope the hit tool is effective as he approaches the big leagues.  Being an advanced college guy helps dampen that risk.   He’s got some good performance behind him in the Cape Cod League.  Hopefully he can get the strikeouts down.

Pitching is what I want.

Soto, Gelof, Sykora or Waldrep. 

[Oxy]

Houck, Miller, Morales, McGonigle...

Good point, maybe we grab a sliding HS player?

[duewizard]

Why is Waldrep still on the board?

[brewers888]

Aidan Miller if he lasts would work but don't see the Brewers picking two straight third basemen so give me the best starting pitching prospect.

[wallus]

This would be much more exciting if you could trade picks. It's time, MLB.

Sell me on Soto? What do you like?

Because the Braves/Yankees haven't picked yet.

You can but only comp picks can be traded.
