Consensus MLB Draft Board V2

INF Matt Shaw of Maryland seems to be doing everything in his power to be drafted before we get to #18: 1.210 OPS, 23 HRs, 43 BB vs. 30 Ks. Too bad for us.

And INF Tommy Troy of Stanford is at 1.205 OPS, 13 HRs, 26 BB vs. 29 Ks.

While C Kyle Teel of Virginia has a 1.148 OPS, 11 HRs, 27 BB vs. 30 Ks.

I guess we still have INF Brayden Taylor of TCU to fall back on: 1.018 OPS, 18 HRs, 45 BB vs. 47 Ks.

Of course, we'll probably go an entirely different direction.

I think Teel is the only one you name whose definitely gone by the time the Brewers pick. Thing about this draft is, if you aren't picking in the top 5-6, picking anywhere in the top 25 is going to net you a similar caliber prospect. Brewers are going to have someone they really like fall in their lap.

I still think the Brewers go pitcher in the first round.  Keith Law has Hurston Waldrep mocked to the Brewers at 18.  He hasn't pitched all that great so far this year in Florida but the stuff is top of the rotation stuff.  If he falls to the Brewers I think that will be the pick. 

Matt Shaw is another name being thrown around with the 18th pick.  I am not sure on Shaw he looks to be a 2B/LF.  Shaw is an average everything basically.  He should top out around the 25 HR mark and hit about .275.  His skills are about average as they come. 

A name to watch is Nolan Schanuel.  He has power and he doesn't K all that much but he plays in Conference USA so some of his numbers need to be taken with the proverbial grain of salt.  He is also a 1B only and probably more of a DH.  This is Schanuel's stat line so far at Florida Atlantic: .460/.623/.888

I don't see the Brewers going the HS route as Turang (2018) was the last time the Brewers took a HS player.  But if the Brewers do go with a HS player it maybe someone like Colt Emersson (SS), Kevin McGonigle (SS) or Blake Mitchell (C).  McGonigle sounds similar to Turang when he was drafted. 

Keith Law suggested Dillon Head (OF) for the Rays but I think that is another name to watch for the Brewers.  He is another type of player that the Brewers have been drafting recently.

I am hoping Waldrep drops in the draft as that would be the perfect draft for the Brewers.  Waldrep preseason was in the top 10 and some discussion of him being drafted in the top 5 picks. 

No clue who the team will pick, only that I’m confident Johnson & co. will have their 4th nice draft in a row.

 

I think it was the correct decision to move the draft back until after the college season, but I definitely get impatient this time of year.

Love Waldrep. He's my second favorite pitcher in the draft bc there's potentially 3 plus secondary pitches there. Florida doesn't do a great job maximizing his strengths in game which is why his card numbers aren't that exciting this year.

Schanuel is the most underrated prospect in the draft IMO. Forget the conference, he crushed against quality teams too. His numbers are ridiculous. 

I would like to see more pitching and some power bats. The thing I hope the team avoids is spending high picks on powerless middle infielders which they have picked far too often in recent years.

Schanuel has played some OF this spring, and some scouts believe he can play corner OF.  Over the last two seasons he has 25 SB vs 2 CS, giving reason to believe he's athletic enough.  Question is if his arm is adequate for RF or if he can only play LF. 

I thin the Crew will look for Piching early 

Bryce Eldridge is right at 18, and would be good pickup, IMO. Power-hitting 1B, but also a big pitcher on the mound.

Majority of scouts don’t see him as a pitcher and see him as a RF.  His athleticism would be wasted at 1B.
