  1. I don’t know, I was just going off of Fangraphs and forgot to cite my source.
  2. I don’t know what moves they are going to make, but Jay has 3 options, so at least they wouldn’t have to try to keep him up. The biggest winners in this deal might be the players. Jay goes to a team that has revitalized the careers of a number of lefty relievers lately while Shook goes to a team that might have less of a backlog of pitchers awaiting a promotion to triple-A.
  3. Wichrowski counted 0 toward the bonus pool because he was after the 10th round and below $150,000.
  4. See if the Brewers' lefty reliever reclamation factory can churn out another one. I like Shook, but with as deep as that Biloxi pitching staff is, he was kind of stuck in double-A.
  5. It is going to be interesting. I could see all four ending up in there somewhere. I could see a massive vote split where none end up in the top 20. Right now, I'd list the following non-draft-picks as having at least a 20% chance of ending up in the top 20: Hitters: Jeferson Quero, Tyler Black, Brock Wilken, Mike Boeve, Luke Adams, Jadher Areinamo, Luis Lara, Cooper Pratt, Yophery Rodriguez, Filippo Di Turi, Eric Bitonti, Jesus Made, Luis Pena, Jose Anderson Pitchers: Carlos Rodriguez, Jacob Misiorowski, Logan Henderson, Shane Smith, Brett Wichrowski, Craig Yoho, KC Hunt, Josh Knoth, Bishop Letson, Manuel Rodriguez. That is 24. Plus you've got a bunch of guys who could garner at least a few votes or at least deserve some consideration: Hitters: Brewer Hicklen, Isaac Collins, Oliver Dunn, Dylan O'Rae, Eric Brown, Juan Baez, Josh Adamczewski, Juan Ortuno Pitchers: Bradley Blaylock, Coleman Crow, Tate Kuehner, Yujanyer Herrera, Alexander Cornielle, Daniel Corniel, Enniel Cortez, Ryan Birchard, Yorman Galindez, Hayden Robinson, a bunch of non-Yoho relievers.
  6. One more stat: Wichrowski, Kuehner and Manfredi cost so little against the Brewers' bonus pool that you could toss Craig Yoho on and still not get to the slot value for the final pick in the 10th round.
  7. How absurd of a day could this have been for the pitchers from the 2023 draft class if Johnson had pitched better? 1 run in 17 1/3 innings with 19 strikeouts for Wichrowski, Kuehner, Manfredi and Knoth.
  8. Participated in the combine or took a physical there? I believe there are some players who didn’t take the physical on agent’s recommendation.
  9. Is the league selecting fewer high school kids in general or just this year in what was seen as a weak prep class, especially among hitters? Last year had the highest number of preps picked of the 20-round era and comparing it to years with 40 or 50 is really difficult because of the nature of the MLB draft.
  10. There are 52 pitchers who have thrown at least 30 innings in the ACL this season. Flores is third in K/9, 14th in K/BB and 9th in FIP. He is 45th in ERA. One of these things is clearly not like the others.
  11. Or is this the new normal? The high schooler in the first round is new, but a lot of the other things are similar to last year. Taking a large number of high schoolers? Check. Shunning college bats after round five? Check. Ton of pitching taken on day 2 and day 3? Check. No Pratt or Bitonti, but I am not sure that player existed this year.
  12. I wonder if they decided that going $300,000 over on 5 guys was a better strategy this year than going $1.5 million over on one.
  13. Do you think teams are going to try to push UDFA deals until the offseason?
  14. Also, to balance things out, I think the Cardinals took one high schooler.
  15. If the same percentages as 2022 and 2021 hold, roughly 85 will sign total. So if the Brewers even sign 8 they will be over 9%.
  16. The ACL pitching staff has been shaky at best. There will be spots open in Carolina (and some of the high schoolers if they sign might just go to the ACL).
  17. I said there is no way they sign 8 high schoolers again because it is such a huge percentage of the total high schoolers signed. If they end up signing 9 or something…
  18. To be fair, few teams spend nearly as much internationally on hitting as pitching. It seems, understandably, teams view it as easier to project 16-year-old hitters than 16-year-old pitchers.
  19. Two years ago I believe they picked Wagoner before Adams because they didn’t think Wagoner would last until their next pick. Hopefully that is the case here.
  20. Thanks to last year’s “Wait, we signed him too?” draft I am hoping for him.
  21. While it isn’t as big of a lock as the first 10 rounds, only one 11th round pick hasn’t signed each of the last two years.
  22. They probably drafted players at the three spots that they were weakest at (catcher, first base and outfield). I'm guessing that they grab another college catcher for slot or less tomorrow for depth purposes. It could be that the Brewers just didn't care for this class of hitters once you got to Day 2 (or alternatively they could be floating one or two of the remaining prep bats to day 3).
