Headliner regardless I am betting. You're probably right. Including a pitcher probably just adds to and/or improves the secondary pieces.

My guess is that's the headliner piece if it's just Lucroy.

Today's my anniversary. Was quite relieved when the deal was supposedly done last night. Really need Brewers to wrap this up before dinner.

It's possible McKenzie is in the package just not being referred to as a headliner. He's lower than Mejia on most prospect lists.

DArnaud and Nimmo are a pretty disappointing set of primary pieces, but I'm not a big Nimmo fan. Hope there's more.

I tried to indicate that I didn't think it could be taken to bank, just thought it presented interesting thought experiment on what quantity over quality package might look like.

Hardly a reputable source or anything, but something to chew over: Mets Nation@Mets74734525 Brewers made a counter offer. The offer included the Mets giving up d'Arnaud, Nimmo, Cecchini, Herrera and Szapucki

What does everyone think of Chad Pinder, number 54 on BA's list? If people think he can be a solid mlb regular it would be nice to plug an advanced college bat into that gaping 3b hole. For higher-ceiling options, I like the aforementioned high school lefthanders as well as Dustin Peterson and Jordan Paroubeck. As far as predicting what the Brewers will do, any combination of these names would strike me as a depressingly Brewer-like draft: #54: Michael Lorenzen or Trevor Williams #72: Carlos Salazar or Cavan Biggio #90: Buck Farmer or Jan Hernandez

At the very least, I hope they stay in the top 8. Pirates get that comp pick after the 8th selection for failing to sign Appel.

Segura may not be quite the elite guy I wanted as a headliner, but he fills a gaping organizational hole and those are two good arms that came with. Overall I'm pretty pleased.

Fantastic! My quick research on Pena has made me a big fan

Ariel Pena was on this week's BA hot sheet. He could be one

My order of preference: Cowart, Segura, Richards then Cron.

Well, assuming the Angels rumor is correct, what do we think we're getting? Segura + Richards? More? One of them + Cron?

I agree that both packages are overly optimistic, but I'll play anyway. I vote Angels. I think Grimm/Richards is close to a wash. Segura is much closer to the majors than Odor, but Odor might have more upside. Neither is a lock to stay at SS. From what I've read, Cowart is having a breakout season. Olt is closer to the bigs, but both look like studs. I guess Segura's proximity to the majors is what swayed me, but it is close.
