Grindlinger was also on the Brewers area code team. And Grindlinger is also ranked 17 on BA.
Another high school kid who reclassified and was on the Brewers area code team who won't turn 18 till a week after the draft is LHP-Logan Schmidt. Who is ranked 34 on pipeline and 27 on BA.
Isaac Collins has an fWar of 0.0
Nick Mears has an FWar of 0.1
Even if Zerpa was a terrible player and didn't get hurt this would still not even be close to being defined as a "miss"
I am not even sure if Isaac Collins is a MLB left fielder. He was good defensively for a couple months with the Brewers but that cratered later in the season. If Collins can't be an average left fielder than what value does he have? Seems like he can't play anywhere else.
Collins still has an fWar of 0.0 because of his defense being poor. Still not sure he is actually a MLB capable defender even in left field. He had a good first couple months defense with the Brewers and then it cratered. Playing in KC's large outfield probably doesn't help him.
Obviously sucks Zerpa got hurt but I don't think this will turn into some huge regret of a trade.
Considering both Strider and Greene both had histories of TJ surgery and were probably more open to an extension and Miz is still a ways a way from hitting a year of service time like those guys my guess would be a guaranteed $95-$105 Million if both club options are activated then $135-$145 Million.
Who knows for sure but knowing that Made would take up a 40 man roster spot while he is still in AA probably has something to do with it. If they are going to extend Made I think it would come in October or November before the December 1st lockout happens.

The Southern League has had an average OPS of .662 the past two years.
Even though he doesn't blow away hitters to me Gasser has the stuff to be a major league pitcher. The metrics say that as well. It is going to come down to if he can locate and have an effective game plan to neutralize right handed hitters. Gasser is at his best when his changeup is effective against right handed hitters.
With the way the current roster is constructed I feel like David Hamilton is going to get a decent amount of playing time at 3B, more so than a lot of fans will want.
Fans are going to make a mistake if they think Williams is just another short guy who can't hit for power. He sure knows how to lift the ball in the minor leagues. His swing is a lot like Luis Pena's.
