i think that one of the bigggest problems with the brewers pitching lack of pitching depth at the high levels is the result of 2 things. 1. drafting players with more upside than drafting guys with more polish in the earlier rounds. examples, i didnt follow the draft in 2008 nearly enough as this year to be able to say who was polished and who wasnt; frederickson, lintz just to name 2. im not saying we have to draft 24 year olds in rounds 1-5; however in 2008 when we had 6 picks in the first 2 rounds, i thought we could have drafted one more estabalished college pitcher, junior or senior, who was extremely polished, had the control taken care of, maybe a guy like mike leake this year. 2. i do not think the brewers are doing enough to challenge their pitchers, granted some of the more high end prospects have control issues, such as scarpetta and this will be a little controversial but i still have high hopes for frederickson. but guys like bucci, peralta, anundsen, rivas, odorizzi and even krestalude. i have been following helena a lot lately, so so i am high on all three guys i listed from helena, the only with a high walk rate is krestalude (but he pitched well in a few appearances in brevard county).
