    I would like to see more pitching and some power bats. The thing I hope the team avoids is spending high picks on powerless middle infielders which they have picked far too often in recent years.

    I wouldn't point to Grisham as developing a good hitter since he isn't one. No one is throwing in the towel on any of our rookies but I don't see any of them becoming great offensive players. Turang is eventually going to be the shortstop and the defense will play but the bat is just not there. Some of the prospects look promising but the system as a whole isn't very strong with hitters or arms. Stearns started off great but he tailed off dramatically at the end and the organization looks to be in a weak position moving forward especially if they aren't able to cash in on Burnes, Woodruff, and Adames and lets face it Burnes is not going to bring us a huge return if he continues to pitch as he has. Its great to have optimism with this organization but the only bright spot I see is the division being terrible.

    This team hasn't developed any good hitters since Braun much less a hitter of his caliber.

    The offense is pitiful and will not get meaningfully better with these players. I can't even remember the last great hitter this organization has drafted and developed; it might be Ryan Braun which is pitiful. The organization has continually drafted way too many punchless middle infielders which is another problem few talk about. To be honest we haven't exactly hit on any starting pitchers either since the debuts of Burnes, Woodruff, and Peralta who was acquired via trade. If it were up to me I would move on from this front office after the season and hire John Hart or Jeff Luhnow who are both fantastic organization builders from the bottom up. With Burnes and Woodruff gone soon enough we could be in big trouble very soon.

    Not interested unless the price is shockingly low which I very much doubt to be the case.

    Yelich to me gets a C for getting on base at a good level but no higher due to his complete lack of power and bad defense. Taylor deserves a C for being decent defensively and coming up with clutch hits but I can't go higher due to his awful OBP McCutchen gets a C- for being completely mediocre and the fact that he was our "big" acquisition and he is just not good enough to be playing everyday in the middle of the lineup. He doesn't set the lineup so its obviously not his doing but he is just not an everyday player or middle of the lineup bat for a contending team. Renfroe gets a C for his power and decent enough defense but he's been hurt too much and is another on this team not getting on base enough to receive a higher grade. The outfield overall has been better than the infield but when you consider how much money we have tied up in it the production is not nearly good enough.
  8. brewers888
    These grades are obviously all subjective but this infield as a whole just hasn't played well at all.
  9. brewers888
    Thats fair enough because Buxton is a gold glove caliber center fielder but my comment was about Tellez who is bad defensively and isn't getting on base.
  10. brewers888
    If you have an OBP around .300 you don't get higher than a C in my view.
  11. brewers888
    Don't take this the wrong way but the grades are beyond generous. Rowdy with his .305 OBP and below average defense deserves at best a C and no way a B+. If Wong doesn't get an F I don't know who would but I won't argue too much with a D. I like Adames and appreciate the power and defense but I can't give a grade higher than a C for a player with a .220 average and OBP below .300. Urias deserves a D as he should be a high average, high OBP guy and he has been neither. The infield as a whole deserves a D as not one of these guys has outperformed and Wong in particular has been completely awful.
  12. brewers888
    If they think he is a potential star I get it but how many outfielders does this team need to draft or sign from Latin America. I admit that I haven't seen any of these guys play so its hard to form an opinion about any of these players but I find it hard to believe that the best player available is always an outfielder when the Brewers pick. Pitching is always a need so no issue with picking an arm with big upside and we really need a third base prospect in the worst way so if its a close call I would hope they pick someone other than another outfielder. This organization has been pitiful when it comes to drafting position players which is proven by the fact that we don't have one homegrown everyday starting position player in our lineup. Yes we have Chourio and some other promising guys in the system but this team has done far better drafting pitching and thats the way I would go in round one.
  13. brewers888
    Unless the team feels the player is far and away above the other available talent I would hate to see the Brewers draft yet another outfielder.
  14. brewers888
    Sounds way too much like Ethan Small who apparently at 25 isn't good enough to beat out the likes of Alexander and Chi Chi so I would pass with seemingly limited upside.
  15. brewers888
    Admittedly I only saw a few games with Melendez but he looked like a really good hitter not just a power guy. He's an older college player but its hard to ignore the numbers he put up this season.
  16. brewers888
    Ivan Melendez should be a consideration for the Brewers.
  17. brewers888
    I never saw Corey Ray as worthy of a high pick but it turns out that the draft where we picked him was a really bad one.
  18. brewers888
    I think its more than fair to point out that this team doesn't have one home grown starting position player unless you count Cain who was orginally drafted by the team but acquired as a free agent after being traded to the Royals. Plenty of great players are drafted outside of the top 10. Look where we drafted Burnes and Woodruff. I don't get this thought that top talent is only found at the top of the draft.
  19. brewers888
    Plenty of great players both position players as well as pitchers have been selected late first round and in the rounds following. The idea that we can't land a great talent picking at the end of the round is flat out wrong.
  20. brewers888
    I guess you've never heard of Mike Trout if you think you can't ever get a great hitter picking at the end of the first round and I'm sure there have been countless others picked far later than that.
  21. brewers888
    No I'm looking for good hitters with power. We had guys like this with Braun and Fielder but havent had any success drafting position players since then. Hopefully some of our current prospects end the drought but we currently have no everyday position players drafted by the team.
  22. brewers888
    I'm not looking for power only players but we have failed miserably in drafting position players since Braun in 2008.
  23. brewers888
    The odds of smallish hitters becoming the next Puckett or Pedroia is extremely small.
  24. brewers888
    As great as we have done drafting and developing pitching we have not drafted any big time hitters since drafting Ryan Braun in 2008. Currently we have some guys like Wiemer with promise but we have been awful at drafting inpact bats.
  25. brewers888
    With high picks I prefer players with oustanding tools such as power for hitters and pitchers with strikeout stuff. Maybe this player is the rar shorter player with power but if he is more like a Turang who has little power I would prefer to pass. The front office has earned the benefit of the doubt but players like this don't excite me at all.
