“Sir, a second Ebel has hit the Brewers farm system.”

[James Zumstein]

Wow, I knew we had an interest in him but that's a long way from where he was predicted to get picked.

[Dadbauer]

Would be pretty special if he and his brother both hit for us and could play together.

[RobertR]

I know nothing about prospects. But this sure seems consistent of what this draft regime has previously done.

[narwhalattack]

The last high school kid we took in the first round who went earlier than expected is doing pretty good right now. Hopefully Ebel impresses just as much as Payne.

[narwhalattack]

The Cardinals are having a very solid draft so far. Not ideal.

[nate82]

Going to be an expensive draft for the Rays.

[James Zumstein]

Sawyer Strosnider

[narwhalattack]

Strosnider at 66. Really good value at that spot.

[mudbutt]

Funny you could easily swap our two guys and it would be probably their “normal” position. Wondering if they went Ebel first to go underslot then got a pleasant surprise that Sawyer was still there and may have to spend some of Ebels money there. Fine by me, get the power early then go pitching.

[Joseph Zarr]

Strosnider at 66 is pretty dang awesome.

I constantly underestimate how well run this organization is

[CheeseheadInQC]

Ok, everyone ready for 18 straight pitchers?

[James Zumstein]

Bonds to the Giants. Very fitting.

Is his first name steroid?

I know Bonds was all the rage for awhile, but I’m glad he’s pretty much been erased as a massive fraud.

[TwinsBrewersWorldSeries]

Anybody have a prediction for 102?

[mudbutt]

Folks wanted more outfielders in the system so bam there we go.

[James Zumstein]

Another outfielder, Kyle Jones from Florida. Another up-the-middle bat.

How about 17?

Looking forward to reading the resident brewer fan draft experts to weigh in on these picks :)

Julian Garcia, HS RHP

[ghostdrew]

Julian Garcia was on the brewers area code team with trey ebel

[James Zumstein]

I really, really like this pick. Two plus pitches and above average control. Should be very signable as well. Great pick.
