scratch betts

So the crew could still get Everette, betts, or matuella

How about wisconsin native Kyle Cody next??

Everette kind of reminds me of dylan covey

I like the pick, not in love with his like a gatewood or harrison, but I like it.

You get balls in the hopper based on market size as well, that why the cardinals are in the lottery.

Its easy to look at what might seem like they have a lot of injuries but that would be only if you compare them to nobody else "In the last 10 years, the Brewers have had just two big leaguers undergo Tommy John surgery, the lowest number in the majors. The entire organization, including the minors, has been just as successful at avoiding the pitcher's worst nightmare — only 12 total procedures since 2005, the second lowest rate of the 30 teams." They would be tied for the lowest if it wasnt for Johnny Hellweg and I think its fair to say the angels played a part in that. Yes but again most of their starters came from outside the organization or had surgery before getting to Milwaukee, it's not really a true assessment of the organization as a whole. I forgot that Thornburg narrowly avoided surgery with the injection, but he still missed basically an entire year. It's another argument that depends entirely on how it's framed, by limiting the query to MLB pitching and TJ it ignores all of TJ in the minors, any other significant injuries, and the larger truth that Brewers have been awful developing pitching. Of course guys like Wolf and Sheets who went under the knife after being let go didn't count either. I realize TJ is the hot injury topic, but the issues go back farther, all the way to middle school and specialization for most of these guys, TJ incidents aren't really about what teams are doing developing pitching when the overwhelming majority are doing the exact same things. The Brewers are not exceptional in any way, they just follow the same "proven" format as everyone else. It actually does include the minors, the two teams tied at first are the giants and mariners. The brewers also won a pretty big sports medicine award coming into this season as being a great organization in pro sports, not just baseball. They do a good job in that regard.

An exceptional history of injury prevention? Nelson and tomorrow Jungmann are the only 2 pitchers to come through the system without having surgery at some point.

The brewers have an exceptional history with pitcher and injury prevention. What about taking a guy like Matuella? He should have been a top 10 top 5 guy if he didnt get injured.

Dang, with clark being at slot they wouldnt be able to lure him. love me a 6'7" HS left with stink

what about justin hooper at 40? Tons of potential.

Brewers have more than 3, Segura, sardinas, rivera, arcia, gatewood, lara, mallen.... its the best position to be deep at.

^^ This ^^ Good point

I'll take it! Would be a fun outfield: LF Clark CF Harrison RF Coulter Wait, what about Reed?! [sarcasm]Going to need to trade someone![/sarcasm] Reed is actually a great comparison to Clark. similar tool set, reed has a better arm and clark is a better hitter overall. But, this comparison is why at first i wasnt the biggest fan, cause guys like reed have a hard time finding the bigs.

I'm coming around to the pick, the kid definitely has talent, should have gone higher, will probably sign right at slot, good pick. They didn't take the guy I wanted, so like my 15 month old my attitude changes when i dont get what I want, I should know better, Im excited for this pick!

I read something pretty interesting about how the indians are developing pitching. They are heavy guys throw balls twice as having as part of their training, they are having guys get boosts in velocity and avoiding injury. I bet they think aiken has an arm they can protect.

well the indians took aiken

i wanted Nikorak

his arm and speed wont allow him to stay in center, his power wont allow him to stay on a corner, I just dont like these tweener guys, but you never know what a team thinks they can fix or improve.

eh, he was my least favorite... Thats okay though, i dont know much compared to the brewers.

I have a feeling aiken drops to the brewers next pick.

what about Mike Nikorak? he seems to fit the exact mold of what the brewers draft, would maybe be slightly under-slot.

A top prep bat, but hes a bit of a tweener.

I kind of thought the brewers might draft naylor and try to do a similar thing to last year, and we all know DM loves him some Canada. I was thinking Naylor at 15 and aiken at 40

I have the feeling that the next start after this one goes back to Wagner. The comments around everyone so far has given me the sense that they feel Wagner has "earned" this spot, but due to Garza being use 5 innings in extras he had to be sent back down and with the 10 day rule also couldnt make this start. I would be hes back up after this jungmann start. which again, still stinks for thorny. IMO it must be a velocity issue, because the man has surely paid his dues to get the spot.
