    Back in 2021, the Brewers drafted LHP Hunter Hollan in the 15th round out of JC but he didn't sign. Hollan is ranked #100 on MLB.com, and the Brewers have been known to follow guys they didn't sign. From MLB: Known more for his polish than his stuff at San Jac, Hollan averaged 87 mph with his fastball last spring before sitting at 93-94 and touching 97 with late life in shorter stints last fall. He has operated at 90-92 mph and hit 97 as junior while flashing three solid secondary pitches, the best of which is a 71-75 mph downer curveball that could use a bit more power but gets swings and misses. He utilizes a two-plane slider that parks around 80 mph and a firm mid-80s changeup with some tumble. Hollan mixes his four offerings well and throws them all for strikes. He has an athletic delivery that he repeats well and a lean frame with room to add more strength. Even though he hasn't held all of the power he added when he first arrived in Fayetteville, his high floor as a pitchability left-hander could land him in the third round. I like the "athletic delivery" which suggests that he might be able to add more strength and get he velo back up to mid-90's.

    There's your double-dip at 3B, though there is question if Boeve can stick there. Curious as to why Whitman is dropping.

    Paul Wilson, HS LHP and son of former MLB pitcher Trevor Wilson, is still out there. Wouldn't mind him.
  4. LouisEly
    I'm shocked he's still available. He went to the Cape and in his first start went 5 IP, 2 H, 0 BB, 9 K.

    Cincinnati grabbing Lowder and Floyd. I think they see their window starting right now.

    Devin Williams wasn't converted to a reliever until his seventh year in the organization. He's 17. Plenty of time to develop.

    Knoth went to the same high school as another undersized pitcher - Marcus Stroman. I'd take another of him.

    Whitman, Wolters, Soto

    Corbin Carroll, Matt McClain, Jose Ramirez, Ozzie Albies, Mookie Betts...

    They have Melendez, who won't be a free agent until 2029, so a 5-6 year horizon catcher might make more sense than a 3-4 year horizon catcher.

    ESPN flashed Skenes as the Pirates pick just before Manfred took the stage...

    1) By "waiting" I mean an extra 4-5 days. An extra 4-5 days isn't going to matter. There isn't anyone in the minors without a questionable major league history knocking on the door to replace him. B) He's been a part of the team since spring training. They've formed relationships. They're human beings. 3) How the Brewers treat players plays a significant role in whether free agents will come there since the Brewers can't simply outbid everyone else and have a huge payroll. Players have said that they were told by other players that Milwaukee is a great place to play. Just like the Packers, they have to treat players well in order to be considered.

    It wouldn't surprise me if they've been waiting for the break to minimize the disruption/team chemistry. From what I've seen, Winker has been a great teammate - it seems like when they hit a HR he is either the guy putting on the cheesehead or the next guy on the field congratulating him. Gives the team a few days to mentally absorb it and move on.

    I think that's it. If all three are gone (and assuming Gonzalez is gone as well) my dark horse is Whitman in an under-slot deal and then HS picks at #33 (Wolters, Farmelo, Santana) and possibly #54 (Zanetello, C. Johnson, P. Wilson). Jonny Farmelo is my sleeper here; probably not #18 but definitely #33. Athlete, size (6'2", 205), plus runner, speed and range to play center, plus bat speed, LHH. Sounds like a profile the Brewers target. Being in HS he likely won't rush to the majors and create a logjam with Mitchell/Frelick/Wiemer/Chourio like Davis might.

    A bit OT, but holy crap, I would not have guessed that. 14 first round picks from that year so far have negative career bWAR. Hiura was the 10th overall pick and currently has the 8th highest career bWAR (seventh if you exclude Rasmussen who didn't sign that year). Not looking like a good draft year. With the exception of 2005, it seems like the years that the Brewers get high draft picks are the years with the worst drafts (2003, 2004, 2016, 2017).

    Can Alex Jackson play first base?

    When is the last time that you've seen a June bug? I *may* have seen one tonight fly in front of my TV on my rooftop deck - not sure, but if it was, it would be the first one that I recall seeing in 20 years.

    The Brewers don't have a strong recent track record of cleaning up the delivery of first round pitchers...
  21. LouisEly
    The Brewers did draft Turang recently, so they are not averse to drafting HS position players. But I think it would have to be someone who has plus defensive value.

    I have a really hard time looking at McClain's last season at UCLA - if not his entire career at UCLA - and projecting him to what he is doing this season. He's hit 19 HRs this season so far and he hit a total of 16 in his career at UCLA with aluminum bats. He slugged .425 in his only season in the Cape Cod League. As for Abbott, one of these two is Abbott's last season at Virginia and one is Ethan Small's last season at Mississippi State: 106 IP, 89 H, 32 BB, 162 K, 13 HR, 2.7 BB/9, 13.7 K/9 107 IP, 61 H, 32 BB, 176 K, 8 HR, 2.7 BB/9. 14.8 K/9 IIRC, the scouting reports said that both worked in the low 90's in college. If Small didn't work out/couldn't be fixed, how could we expect Abbott to?

    An idea... If you're in STTEM (the extra "T" is for teaching... or maybe it's STEEM with an "E" for education), the government takes over the loans and converts them to zero interest. Maybe a % forgiveness for every year spent teaching because of lack of supply and relatively low pay. Everyone else... pay it back.

    Interesting what BA has said about Adames and the pitch clock. Adames had a long setup and has had trouble adjusting to the pitch clock and needing to be ready by 8 seconds. Might explain why he's having a down year.

    I assume that he doesn't plan on becoming a homeowner anytime soon (many contractors don't take electronic payments or charge a 3% fee for using one, which for a $20K bathroom remodel is an extra $600, well worth writing a check).
