    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.
  2. brewers888
    If you have an OBP around .300 you don't get higher than a C in my view.
  3. 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.

    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.

    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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. brewers888
    Ivan Melendez should be a consideration for the Brewers.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. brewers888
    I'm not looking for power only players but we have failed miserably in drafting position players since Braun in 2008.
  15. brewers888
    The odds of smallish hitters becoming the next Puckett or Pedroia is extremely small.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. brewers888
    I havent paid any attention to the draft but give me someone with some real upside which I doubt a 5'8 shortstop has much of.
  19. brewers888
    Just can't get excited about the idea of a 5'8 shortstop in the first round.
  20. brewers888
    Unless Yelich starts showing some ability to drive the ball his walk rate is going to plummet. Its time to really start wondering if this guy is even going to be an effective player much less a star going forward.

    Ronald Acuna is signed for 8 seasons so I would take him over Yelich. You can probably also argue for guys like Tatis Jr and Vlad Jr who all have far more contractual control than Yelich. Clearly I would take Yelich over all of them for the next few years but I don't know how you can choose him over someone like Acuna who is locked up for far longer.
