    I am thinking if they go the college route it will be someone like Sterlin Thompson who is closer to someone the Brewers have drafted recently in Mitchell. I don't believe the Brewers really care about what position the player is playing and what is currently in their minors. I mean it counts for something but very little in the grand scheme of everything. I just have this feeling that the Brewers are going to go with a high school positional player this year. It maybe irrational but I think that is where they will be going and if someone like Jett Williams is there who really shouldn't be they will go after them.

    Maybe they go college but I think they may go with a high school player. The Brewers haven’t gone with a high school player in the 1st round since Turang in 2018.

    More info on Jett Willams from PerfectGame: https://www.perfectgame.org/Players/Playerprofile.aspx?ID=406026 If the Brewers drafted Jett I would be very happy. He seems as though he is a type of hitter that some complain about the Brewers not having. He sounds to be a low strike out hitter who will put the ball in play a lot. He also has enough pop in his bat to be dangerous. He may not put up 25+ HR seasons but he should be in the 10-15 range which is plenty enough. Looks to be a top of the order bat who can put the ball in play and will be someone who can steal a base with ease. Defensively he maybe more of a 2B than a SS but I think he can stick at SS athletically but his arm may force a move to 2B. If a middle infield spot is not an option he has the athleticism to play in the OF specifically in CF. He wouldn't have the arm to play in RF but LF is also possibility. I see him more as a future 2B which with his hitting ability should make him a perfect selection at 27. Oh and the discussion about high profile players the Brewers did take Clint Coulter at 27 in 2012 who when you read his scouting report sounds exactly like the player brewers888 is looking for.

    You may want to say what you mean and not be so cryptic in your posts. That right there is saying you are looking for someone with power. You don't say anything else about the hitter. Williams is basically what you are describing he has gap power which can improve. He also has some great hit tools as he doesn't really strike out all that much. The competition that he has been facing has been really high. You should really read scouting reports before commenting on some of these. Looking at a players height in baseball is not a good idea. This is not the NFL or NBA height is not really all that important. If someone an hit it doesn't really matter what their height is. If you looked back at Turang's scouting report his read a lot like Williams scouting report. If you want a player with and outstanding power tool you can get those players in the later rounds. Also you are not going to be getting someone like Braun or Fielder drafting at 27.

    You literally stated that is the main thing you are looking at.

    The odds of any player drafted in any round even the 1st round making it to the majors is fairly low. So drafting players with just power in their bats is not a good idea. Ask Doug Melvin how well that strategy worked, I will give you a clue it didn't work out all that well. Let me give you one name Matt LaPorta.
  7. nate82
    For being only 5'8 Williams actually has some sneaky power in his bat. Height usually doesn't limit a players power at all. Matt Stairs who had gobs of power was only 5'9. Dustin Pedroia another short player at 5'9 had enough power in the majors also. There are plenty of players who are not all that tall who had and have a lot of power. Ozzie Albies of the Braves is only 5'8 also I guess he has no power either. There are more if you want me to continue.

    A couple of mocks with the Brewers taking Jett Williams. Sounds a lot like Turang. https://www.mlb.com/news/mlb-mock-draft-2022-historic-focus-on-offense https://sportsnaut.com/mlb-mock-draft/ https://baseballprospectjournal.com/2022-mlb-draft-mock-draft-4-0/

    He was a reach but not as much as Campbell would be.

    If Rocker is still there I think the Brewers will take him. The college arms this year are not all that great so it maybe another year where the Brewers take a bat again at least with their first pick. Some of the college pitchers where the Brewers will be making their first pick are probably more 2nd or 3rd round picks. Rocker probably has the highest upside but it is hard to tell where he will be drafted. He could be available when the Brewers are picking or he could be gone well before the Brewers pick. Justin Campbell is a name I have seen a few times mocked to the Brewers. Someone like Campbell who is more a 2nd round pick is probably who the Brewers would go with if they go the college arm pick. The Brewers already have a glut of OF's in the minors but I wouldn't be surprised if the Brewers take either Jordan Beck or Dylan Beavers both are college OF's. A prep SS wouldn't also be a surprise here either. Jett Williams or Cole Young would be my guess here if they go the prep route.

    Maybe they will go with a prep arm in the first round if the right player falls but I am not so sure on that. I think the Brewers will still go with a college arm. Also new for 2022 but old for MLB the draft and follow is back. https://www.mlb.com/news/draft-rule-changes-with-new-cba It has been awhile since the draft and follow has been part of the MLB draft so this could be interesting or just nothing in the first year that this has come back.

    Jim Callis has the Brewers taking 27. Brewers: Andrew Dutkanych, RHP, Brebeuf Jesuit Prep, Indianapolis https://www.mlb.com/news/mlb-mock-draft-2022-position-players-standout I don’t think the Brewers will go with a prep pitcher with their first pick. I don’t think under the Stearns era there has been a prep pitcher taken with the first pick. I think the Brewers go with a college pitcher with their first pick.

    Until a “Karen” shows up and says you can’t sell hot dogs here and those don’t look like real hot dogs and then demands to speak to your manager!

    The last Spider-Man and the new Doctor Strange movie are basically setting up the next phase for Marvel.

    With Elon’s purchase being official now for Twitter, I wonder what the impact is going to be on the tech market. There are some rumors about Twitters earnings will be down a lot so the board took the deal. The price may drop a bit between now and when their earnings are reported if the rumors are true.

    First major injury in the draft with Chase DeLauter breaking his foot. https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/chase-delauter-potential-no-1-pick-in-2022-mlb-draft-to-miss-at-least-three-weeks-after-breaking-foot/

    Consumer prices rose 8.5% in March. Still not worried about inflation?

    Ovechkin scored career goal 775 today which puts him 119 short of Gretzky. It looks like as long as Ovechkin stays healthy he should pass Gretzky near the end of his current contract. I will still take Gretzky over Ovechkin but where does Ovechkin rank all time?

    I watched Metal Lords on Netflix cheesy but good.

    The books I read are not allowed to be discussed here. I read a lot of books from Thomas Sowell and others mostly. I have been reading the graphic novel BRZRKR which has been good so far. This is written by Keanu Reeves well co-wrote by him and another Matt Kindt and illustrations done by Ron Garney

    If you were doing this for work an application like Alteryx is a better option even R, Python or SAS would be better options if you want to go the coding route. If you needed more analysis you could then have Alteryx export the information as a hyper file which is what Tableau uses. Alteryx creates the hyper file which would then update your Tableau workbook.

    I finally watched the new Ghostbusters movie last night. This version was better than the cringe one from a few years ago. The plot actually made sense in this one and the jokes were good.

    If you have them linked it will save the filename and location into the cell. All you have to do then is keep the filename the same every time and then refresh in the workbook you want the information to be refreshed in. I believe you can select refresh on open in the settings of Excel. You can also create a pivot table off of the information and that will allow you to sort and filter without limitations.

    Probably a controversial thing but Run Hide Fight was actually a pretty good movie that isn't getting the recognition it deserves. As for Batman there is an overly rich white people bad except for Batman. Without going into the plot too much it is a theme that goes throughout the movie. Even the majority of the corrupt police officers are white. So it does go into the identity politics a lot.

    Unlikely to happen unless you are doing some crazy tax write off amounts.
