Based on Keith Law's Top 100 Draft Prospects, Milwaukee has already drafted 5 of those players ...
17 - Wilken
40 - Pratt
49 - Bitonti
60 - Knoth
78 - Boeve
If they sign all of these players, it will be a successful - Grade A - draft!
I read that Woodward has had bone cancer (twice) & then Tommy John

While I sympathize with him - simply can't imagine what he's been through - this seems to be an awkward selection ... especially this high
I’m a HUGE fan of Black … he was impressive when I saw him play in person back in May
His speed is better than advertised
His bat is for real too
He was more than adequate defensively
He has a strong arm from 3rd, but might be a better 1B or DH option
I actually like him more than Hiura this year as a replacement for Tellez & Winker
Yes - Candelario would be a huge improvement over Tellez & Winker
No - please don’t trade Black … I believe he will be an impact bat for us as soon as next year
I agree
I was embarrassed to be a Brewers fan
That was Little League - maybe T-ball cringe worthy … like a cute little kid running to third base from home plate
That lack of on field awareness is unforgivable at the MLB level
I would only consider that trade if we could sign Robert to an extension … & even then it might be difficult
I want to see Chourio in Milwaukee for a decade or more - home grown talent signed & developed in our system would be sweet
I still marvel at how Robin Yount only played 64 minor league games before becoming the Brewers starting SS at age 18 (back in 1974) - that is truly amazing!
I hope Tellez returns & catches fire like Yelich & Adames have recently
If upon his return it is more of the same … I’d love for the Brewers to release Tellez & trade for a better bat to play 1B later this month at the deadline
