Just woke up and finding out who the Brewers pick. It's a surprising pick LaPorta and I like it. An advanced impact bat with very good power and plate discipline, something the Brewers need in their lineup to backup Prince. The MLB.com scouting report on his hitting is really impressive... Hitting Ability: Simply put, LaPorta can flat out hit. Period. After a subpar junior year because of injury, he's back raking again at Florida with outstanding plate discpline to boot. Power: LaPorta has as much power as any bat, especially from the college ranks, in this draft class. He's got power to all fields and can hit the ball out of any ballpark with any kind of bat. Strengths: He can hit and hit with plenty of power. Listening to Zduriencik and Melvin's press conference, their minor league coaches think LaPorta is okay at LF in his tryouts, and he could also serve as Prince's backup at 1B. Melvin said that LaPorta will probably sign with the Brewers in 3 days. He could be playing in the minors in a couple of weeks and I'm excited to see what he can do. I like the Lucroy pick too, good defensive catcher with an above average arm and good offensive numbers.
