  1. Half joking, but as a 20th round, no more overslot guys who might sign, pick, Manhattan fifth year senior catcher Matt Padre walked 49 times and struck out 13 last season. I am hoping they have saved enough to snag an overslot prep arm or two.
  2. Anyone know anything about Fitzpatrick other than tall, left-handed and has had injury issues?
  3. I wasn’t disagreeing, just providing some stats on the topic
  4. I was more talking your philosophy where you said upside early and floor late and questioning why switch to floor after most of the guys, especially hitting, with high floors and big league ceilings are already off the board.
  5. Their college hitter picks walked 23 more times than they struck out last year
  6. It’s a trade off. A guy like Peyton Graham would give you more power potential but also already has a worse than 2:1 K:BB ratio. Being able to get to the power as a pro is important. Wes Clarke led the SEC in home runs. Tristan Peters had 6 home runs in the MVC. Their ISOs at Wisconsin are basically identical.
  7. I repeat my question. What is the point of drafting for floor late when the high floor guys with decent ceilings usually go early?
  8. Like that they are starting to hit pitching these last few rounds.
  9. It is also a matter of opportunity. There are a lot more ACL hitters who deserve shots in Carolina than pitchers. Take some shots on guys you think have some upside like they did with the JUCO pair last year.
  10. I don’t necessarily have a problem with any individual pick (don’t know enough about O’Rae to have an opinion), but it feels like at some point the Brewers need to start investing more in pitching again. And this is coming from someone who is as bullish on the Rodriguez/Puello/Cruz/Cornielle group as anyone.
  11. If he is still there, I am sticking with my prediction of more upside pitching with Huggins next. edit: Dangit Reds
  12. I am hoping for more pitching today, 5/3 split or something like that.
  13. Yah, but eventually you get to the guys who don’t have the tools to be that utility infielder. (I stuck to hitting for a reason. Pitching seems to be its own beast.) I prefer not to be overly negative about individual prospects, but while the Brewers have generally value hunted, there have been a couple where you look and say, what is the best case scenario here, because the scouting reports describe a maxed out solid college player who doesn’t really have a tool that projects to be MLB level.
  14. I am still mixed on the bats taken last night, but I am on the other side on strategy, at least as far as hitters go. I think you have to take increasing risks as you go on, otherwise you’re just picking the next backup shortstop for Biloxi. All of the safer guys with big league ceilings go in the first round or two. As you get further into the draft, start giving me your guys without a position or with contact issues, your guys coming off injury or from small schools, your cold weather state prep bats and raw high school athletes. I would rather take a shot in the later rounds on someone who never makes it out of the ACL than just taking the most productive big school guy left even if there is no real path for him to become a useful big leaguer.
  15. Again, you only have to look back one season to see it with Moore.
  16. The thing with Moore is, before the rough junior year, he led SEC middle infielders in home runs and looked like a potential first round pick. If you think you know what went wrong and how to fix it, he could be a good value. If not, it’s a roll of the dice.
  17. Yep, they like him. Fangraphs couldn't come up with anything, but I'm curious if any of the other sites offer anything on how he dropped 50 points of batting average while improving his strikeout rate. Worse contact or just really unlucky? If it is the former, it is concerning. If it is the latter, the Brewers might have gotten good value.
  18. For what it is worth, Fangraphs is probably going to be a big fan of the Brewers draft. Misiorowski 24, Brown 35.
  19. If you wanted the Brewers to make an upside play, here it is. This is their Antoine Kelly to Brown's safer Ethan Small. The Brewers have had a fair amount of success with their JUCO pitchers recently. Let's hope it continues here.
  20. Called it! Note: In a draft guess made a few days ago in the other thread.
  21. I might be pessimistic here, and I know he is young, but with him already playing a lot of third, I think I am one more multi-error game from moving Severino onto a first base prospect list.
  22. For what it is worth, he also tied for 10th in the Cape in homers last year.
  23. I don't know that I would have gone that direction, but I will say I trust a guy who makes consistent contact and has good plate discipline to carry over the stats than a guy who put up video game stats with metal bats but with big holes in his swing. Also, a guy the Brewers picked with basically the exact same stat line from a small conference last season sure is doing fine with the Timber Rattlers right now. Regardless, I can understand the disappointment, but the vitriol seems a tad hyperbolic.
