    Because although Profar profiles that he COULD stick at SS, recent sentiments from prospectors and analysts suggest that Andrus is their long-term SS and Profar will take over for Kinsler at 2B who would be moved to the OF. Profar simply isn't ready to take over a middle-IF position for a playoff contender right now. And, Andrus is actually a better fielder.

    Curious as to why you're surprised This Year should speak for itself. Unless these rankings go back to prior years I don't c why he's not on that list. I haven't read or seen anybody having a Year like he's having. Am I missing something besides maybe a couple 2 many walks at AA. Thanks...my opinion The walks aren't the issue. The issue is that he's 25 years old at double-A with a very low amount of IP there. Lists like Sickels' or Baseball America take age/level into consideration.

    The ONLY one I would trade Braun for is a sure-fire can't-miss ace. King Felix is the first that comes to mind. But that's assuming that he would stay with the Brewers for his prime years.

    I think it's somewhat naive to think we are going to sign Greinke after this season and would not take that risk frankly. We can't bank on the placement of compensation picks at this point. Our payroll is at an all-time high and with pending arbitration raises I don't see us being able to afford the sure-to-be-competitive bidding for Zach even after losing Marcum and Wolf. I could see the Indians being interested the longer they stay in 1st, but I'm not sure what the trading limitation would be for Francisco Lindor (can't remember when he signed last year).

    I'm really impressed with Yadiel Rivera lately.

    Anyone knows what we plan to do with Brandol Perez let me know. We signed Perez this offseason from the Mariners after a super-dominant DSL stint 2010 and nothing in 2011. Fellow prospectors and I were watching to see what happened to him but he never appeared in 2011. I do know he was older than he says he was... http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?sid=milb&t=p_pbp&pid=593810

    Bring back the Power-50!!

    For the talent and how his career went Juan Nieves may deserve a spot on this list. So much promise. http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/n/nieveju01.shtml

    You are comparing apples to oranges as far as college talent vs. high school talent. High-school talent usually takes more to sign because of college commitment, or the tough ones are offered Major League deals (i.e. Porcello) You want Nick Williams? He's going to want more than it took to sign Bradley.

    Then you need to read the CBA again. The CBA directly impacts the first ten rounds with a negotiated pool of funds based on several factors. At this point, the Brewers will have roughly 6.7 million to sign their picks in the top-10 rounds. The Brewers spent more than 6.7 million through the first 10 rounds in the 2011 draft; and the prices aint' going down. http://www.baseballamerica.com/blog/draft/2012/02/2012-aggregate-bonus-pools/ The CBA, besides residual affects, has little to no impact on the 15-19 round range I believe.

    http://mlb.sbnation.com/2011/11/23/2581637/major-league-baseball-cba-labor-agreement We're not on the same page here. The above statement is like saying Milk has more calcium than water. You're arguing that first round talent is better than the rest of the draft. We're saying there are issues with affording the three first-round picks we have under the new CBA.
  12. sheetskout
    Because we didn't end up winning 96 games? Eh?
  13. sheetskout
    Except that Williams, Sims, and Russell will come in around 8 million total leaving virtually nothing for the next nine rounds of the draft. Obviously HS athletes generally have higher ceilings but they aren't stupid. They know this. And it's usually why HS players are more demanding in their wants to commit to professional baseball. This isn't an issue of timing to the majors, it's a fiscal issue under the new collective bargaining agreement.
  14. sheetskout
    Addison Russell should be there but I'm still not sure if we should risk either pick on a high-schooler.

    Personally, I have never been in more anticipation of a season to begin and the storylines only make it more fascinating. And I'm 33 years old and have been to 27 opening days.

    Man, I hope you're right. I am NEVER for signing closers long term. It just doesn't work out most of the time (Brad Lidge, B.J. Ryan, Jonathan Broxton, Huston Street, etc) It's not only that they can blow out their arms, but their seasons can quickly go bad making any long-term deal easily look like it wasn't worth it.
  17. sheetskout
    It's been clearly stated that if the news is negative that MLB can and would announce it. Now, they may give Braun a chance to come out with it given some special circumstance. If Braun gets off, he has the option to announce (which he obviously would to clear his name) but Major League Baseball would be contractually obligated according to the CBA to stay quiet.

    I would laugh my rear off if D. Lee came in and had a fantastic, healthy season along with Aramis.

    I know prospect lists get ripped on a lot, but this years list was a joke. The comments provided for each player were virtually useless and confusing in some cases. In addition, the piggybacking of Jungmann and Bradley was obviously a device they used really stating that they had no idea where to rank them. I know it's difficult to rank without pro data, but this was too obvious.
  20. sheetskout
    If it means anything to you Haudricourt told me that the Brewers would probably sign their top two selections at the expense of the rest of the draft. Take it with a grain of salt or not....

    Another mock I saw the other day had Stanford's SS Kenny Diekroeger going to us. I think this makes the most sense right now for one of the two picks. We're thin on middle infield offense and he'd be relatively easy to sign. I still see more and more HS picks falling and would highly expect the Brewers to go one college pitcher, one college hitter.
  22. sheetskout
    Great series! I'm really excited about Bradley. Interesting, rather cookie-cutter response by Seid regarding Jungmann's mechanics. I'm guessing he's fielded that question a ton since he signed.

    Larger market teams would tend to lose type-A free agents replacing them with another (such as in the case with Victor Martinez or Adrian Beltre with the Red Sox). They are also more apt to let first round picks go unsigned (such as with Gerrit Cole for the Yankees) knowing they can replace that talent later. The type-A rankings released by Elias were also a lot looser than they were under the new CBA as well making players like Tom Gordon and Luis Vizcaino whom the Yankees let walk compensation-eligible free-agents. The case-in-point for the Yankees was the 2004 season where they had compensatory picks after losing Paul Quantrill, David Wells, and yes, Andy Pettite. The same Andy Pettite whom they brought back a couple of seasons later. They also had three compensatory picks in 2001.

    Exactly! To Baseball America's Jim Callis: "Jim … Perhaps it's simply too early on a Saturday morning … but is the $185mm per team or the total for all 30 teams? Although there are exceptions, the rather draconian changes by Seligdorf to the draft appear to hurt the smaller market teams most. The Rays, KC, Bucs, Nats (for instance) have been big players … drafting wisely and often allows them a "competitive edge" given their inability to compete with bigger markets for FAs. (Werth exception noted). It seems odd to me that MLB is being so punitive in "punishing" clubs with good scouting resources and the willingness to allocate dollars over slot for players both in the MLB and Intl Draft. What appears to be the "unintended consequence" is ML teams being "forced" to overpay for mediocre (Capuano – $10/2yrs or "aging" talent Bell, age 34 – $27/3yrs). The other obvious consequence is losing prospects (Szczur, Harper, Maples) to college and/or other sports, reducing the pool of talent … both MLB and Intl."

    You can apologize to me all you want, but I'm not really sure I'm in the minority here... http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/draft/news/2012/2612723.html " "I think it will make a difference; you're no longer going to be able to sign players after top rounds," one National League crosschecker said via text message. "Teams with the philosophy to spend and accept risks no longer benefit, and it hurts small-market clubs who choose to develop (their) organization through (the) draft. " http://www.yaledailynews.com/news/2011/dec/01/new-cba-will-spell-misery-for-small-market-teams/ http://www.grantland.com/blog/the-triangle/post/_/id/10571/mlbs-new-cba-is-no-help-to-small-market-clubs http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/index.php/did-a-steinbrenner-write-the-new-cba/ http://communityvoices.sites.post-gazette.com/index.php/sports/bob-smiziks-blog/30919-all-but-unanimous-new-cba-spells-bad-news-for-small-markets http://juicedsportsblog.com/2011/11/breaking-down-new-mlb-cba-and-why-it-actually-hurts-small-market-teams.html And we've mentioned virtually nothing regarding the tax system for teams going over slot. You really think this doesn't impact Small Market teams worse?
