Ricky Moneys is like a combo of two of the all time great Brewer names, Ricky Bones and Don Money.
But seriously, three of the top 50 looks like a good haul. I love how we approach it. Spread out the lottery tickets rather than skewing the budget all at the super top guys. At age 16-17, it’s so early to tell which of these guys turn into Made or Chourio and which ones become Gilbert Lara.
Regarding Moneys, his profile sounds legit. Love to hear about his potential pop and competitiveness. Maybe he ends up in right. Who knows, at this point. Frontada also sounds very intriguing. Love his frame for a SS. I like a bit of a lankier frame at the position for range etc. He’s got the defense and hit tool you like to see.
With the international market, the US draft system, player development, pitching lab, it’s so nice to be able to trust the process here because it is an understatement to say Milwaukee is excelling in these respects. From 2017 to now, we are consistently going to the playoffs while we have stealthily rebuilt the bulk of the roster. To keep winning rather than having to start over at the bottom with financial constraints is a testament to the organization’s process.
