I read it as "Uh-Piss-Kuh-Pay" ... which would make me like him 4x better. Can someone confirm how to say his name?

Rounds 4-20 in the MLB Draft is where you just let Ginger cook.

Ginger liked a tweet I had saying Lake Central is just the Brewers domestic academy

See the strategy forming. Lake Central kids give Brewers their real number & price themselves out with all other teams to keep feeder system rolling!

Man she has been on an absolute HEATER of late. The Brewers know they can't send her to the PNW region because she would likely start a wildfire with her output and work. 

On the clock round 6

6-185 Daniel Dickinson SS (LSU)

80 in MLB's board

LSU shortstop Dickinson

#80 on MLB.com's list!

Do I remember us being loosely associated with Dickinson coming into the draft?

There is the new Cooper Pratt (probably can't play SS though)

 

 

Surprised Dickinson was still available in the 6th. He was a Top 80 guy by Pipeline, BA, and Fangraphs.

.984 OPS

12 HR

Dickinson a Jr ... will this "fall" in the draft send him back to school for a Sr year?

Tod Johnson’s staff has shown they don’t care about the injuries. If they like the arm & fits their model, they will bring you in. One it saves money early on. Two confidence that they can get you healthy & on track with their rehab program, Then let that arm talent shine. You are getting a 2nd round talent cheaper & in the 5th. Great value when you have high functioning rehab & pitching lab to accomplish the goal

Unlikely unless the Brewers offer him a ridiculously low value

There is no financial advantage to go back for the senior season.  Would likely be a "slot" signing unless the Brewers "pushed him down".  At this point, I would say Fischer and Ebel may be around 75% slot, but after that everyone may be around slot.  Episcope is a 4YR sophomore, but his age and injury history may take away all of that leverage.

Great Article here! https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6476189/2025/07/08/daniel-dickinson-mlb-draft-lsu-baseball/
 

Kid played every game for a month with a broken hamate bone this season & still produced barely being able to grip a bat. Walk on to smaller more local college & worked up to being a leader for National Champs LSU. This is a Murphy kid!

Had surgery right after CWS. Should be good to go not long after signing. Will be 22 next season (first full season in pro ball would be 23 if he returned next year). So unless lowballed, coming back probably won’t help greatly.

Sheesh playing through a broken hamate bone is crazy

I’m pretty intrigued by Flores. Anytime I see a slightly undersized pitcher with a hammer curve, I can’t help but think about Ben Sheets.

I wonder if that contributed to his slide.

Sorry to be nerdy, but:

Episcopos is Greek from 'epi' meaning 'over' and scope 'meaning 'to see'. It liteally means 'over see'.

The Latin word 'Bishop' comes from this, as a bishop is an overseer of the church.

So we have a Bishop (Letson), and Episcope. And a Priest(er).

7-215 Josiah Ragsdale OF (Boston College)

Episcope had TJ in high school and internal brace this spring. Former Illinois HSer

So wait. he is a pitcher, formerly a Midwest player in Illinois, now from new Jersey, and had TJ surgery in HS.

So he hits the "Brewers Draft Profile" Bingo card on all accounts.
