And That

McDowell has a career 100 wRC+, which means he's been an exactly average hitter, which combined with above average defense, is actually really valuable at the catcher position. Hummel is not a catcher - he doesn't have the arm.

Clancy, did Max injure you personally?

My dude Jesus *clapclapclap* Parra *clapclapclap* went 5-5 w/2 homers and 2 doubles in his second game as a pro this morning. He's 16 until the end of August. He's good.

ROUND 10 (313th overall): Taylor Floyd, RHP (Photo: Texas Tech) Height: 6'1 Weight: 185 B/T: R/R School: Texas Tech Year: Junior DOB: 12/8/97 SCOUTING REPORT: Baseball America: Floyd is a low-slot 6-foot-1 junior righthander who thrives because he competes and gives hitters a difficult look from his odd release point. Floyd's 88-91 fastball is fringy, but he spots it arm-side and glove-side and the fastball sets up an average frisbee slider. He struck out 78 in his first 50.1 innings this season with a .230 average against and only one home run allowed. He projects as a lower-leverage situational righthander. LINKS: VIDEOS:

ROUND 9 (283rd overall): Darrien Miller, C (Photo: Twitter) Height: 6'0 Weight: 175 B/T: L/R School: Clovis HS (CA) Year: Senior DOB: 3/10/01 SCOUTING REPORT: Perfect Game: Darrien Miller is a 2019 C/RHP with a 6-0 175 lb. frame from Oakurst, CA who attends Clovis HS. Medium frame with an average build and room to add. Ran a 6.91 second 60-yard dash. Worked out defensively as a primary catcher. Long actions from a low and spread set up. Accurate carry to the bag topping out at 79 miles per hour. Lefthanded hitter with a slightly open stance and some big shift into contact. Good control of the barrel with some jump when squared and occasional lift out front. Righthanded pitcher with a simple side step delivery. Early hand break with a medium arm circle in back. Commands a straight fastball topping out at 83 miles per hour. Some tightness to a 12-to-6 curveball with some inconsistent break. Excellent student as well. Prep Baseball Report: Medium/Large frame that is rangy and athletic. Sits low in crouch behind the plate with ability to get out of it quickly. Showed athleticism picking it out wide from LHH batter’s box with MIF actions. Arm is strong average and accurate (1.97-2.02 Pop in multiple between inning looks). LHH with quiet setup with real strong feel for the barrel being able to manipulate it. 3 hits going to LCF gap for 1B on FB away then went RF line for 3B before 1B into RCF gap; all field approach. 10+ MLB scouts there to see him. / 2nd viewing; was once again spectacular. After squaring up 92 the night before for a triple he squared up 89 that one-hopped the center field wall for a double. Miller tried to extend it to a triple but a perfect relay got him at third. The hit, and the entire at-bat for that matter, showed Miller’s immense talent. The fastball was elevated and Miller was able to adjust his barrel path and square it up. He busted out of the box and was going to for three before he rounded first showing his excellent baserunning ability with tight around the bags. He threw out a runner defensively and made the play of the game on a foul ball pop up behind the plate where his technique in handling the ball was textbook. LINKS: VIDEOS:

ROUND 8 (253rd overall): David Hamilton, SS (Photo: Nick Wagner) Height: 5'11 Weight: 170 B/T: L/R School: Texas Year: Junior DOB: 9/29/97 SCOUTING REPORT: Perfect Game: The Longhorns of Texas were dealt a major blow before the season even started as they lost star shortstop David Hamilton following the rupture of his achilles. A team could still take a chance on Hamilton as he should be healed enough to report to professional baseball in a couple of months barring any setbacks. At his best, Hamilton is one of the best pure athletes in the draft with excellent speed along with plus defensive skills at shortstop. His hands, footwork, range and athleticism made him a human highlight reel while at Texas and profile him to be well above average middle infielder. His future at shortstop is somewhat in question due to limited arm strength. Hamilton doesn’t have good raw power but his approach is more contact-oriented anyway; he hit .291 last season with a 13-game hitting streak dating back to 2018. Hamilton likely would have been a top 2-3 round pick had he remained healthy but his injury throws his draft stock into flux as he’s a true wild card in where he’ll be selected and also whether or not he’ll sign. Baseball America: After making it to Omaha in 2018, Texas slipped back to 27-27 in 2019. One of the big reasons was the Longhorns missed Hamilton, who missed the entire season with a ruptured Achilles tendon. Hamilton’s injury obviously makes it difficult for teams to fully evaluate him, as his athleticism and speed were his best attributes. Hamilton is a lefthanded hitter who focuses on making plenty of contact while using his plus speed. Pre-injury Hamilton had a quick first step and the hands to stay at shortstop. Hamilton was overmatched as a hitter as a freshman and even with improvement as a sophomore, his lack of power is a concern in pro ball, and Hamilton didn’t get to allay those concerns as a junior. He could use a medical redshirt year and retain two years of eligibility if he doesn’t like where he goes in the draft. LINKS: VIDEOS:

ROUND 7 (223rd overall): Gabe Holt, CF (Photo: D1 Baseball) Height: 5'10 Weight: 170 B/T: L/R School: Texas Tech Year: Sophomore DOB: 1/7/98 SCOUTING REPORT: MLB Pipeline: While he lacks power, Holt is a disciplined hitter with solid contact skills and excellent speed, and he has spent his first two seasons at Texas Tech as the team’s regular leadoff man. Holt still has major strides to make on defense, however, as his ability to run hasn’t translated to a strong performance on that side of the ball after he transitioned from second base to the outfield late in his freshman year. Perfect Game: Holt has been an instant impact type of outfielder since he stepped foot on campus at Texas Tech and the speedy leadoff man has produced remarkably well over his first two seasons. The sophomore age-eligible prospect fits the profile of a leadoff type hitter with excellent speed and has been adjusting to life in the outfield this season after playing second base as a freshman. He has the athleticism to stick in the outfield but the key to his ultimate positional home will be how well he adjusts instinctively in how he reads and reacts to routes. The speed is plus and he has excellent instincts on the basepaths with close to 30 stolen bases his first season and well on his way to surpassing that mark this season. He makes an excellent amount of contact and has a knack for finding the barrel to go along with more walks than strikeouts in each of the past two years. There’s not much power to Holt’s profile but there doesn’t need to be as his speed, contact and on-base skills are more than enough for him to warrant a high draft selection. Baseball America: Holt took over as Texas Tech’s leadoff hitter from the first game of his freshman season and has been a steady presence as the Red Raiders’ table-setter ever since. He’s well-suited for the role as his ground-ball and line-drive approach relies on spreading the ball to all fields. Once he makes contact, his plus-plus speed and aggressive baserunning makes him a threat to always take the extra base. He’ll even turn grounders through the infield into doubles if the outfielders don’t charge aggressively enough. While Holt’s speed is easily his best tool, he has a chance to be an above-average hitter thanks to quick hands and a solid understanding of the strike zone. His power and his power potential are quite limited. His swing is not generally geared to driving the ball over the wall, as he has very little load. That’s probably smart because the 5-foot-10, 170-pounder doesn’t really have the size or strength to hit more than 5-10 home runs a year. Holt is an excellent basestealer who could top 60 steals in his first two seasons at Texas Tech. Defensively, Holt has yet to find a true home. He was Texas Tech’s second baseman for much of his freshman season, but he’s below-average there and will need to improve his actions and soften his hands to play there in pro ball. He’s spent most of the past year and a half in right field, but his routes and reads leave much to be desired. There is some belief among scouts that he could end up being better in center field as the reads of fly balls off the bat are easier. This year, he has spent a little time in center field and has even filled in at shortstop, although he didn’t look comfortable there. Holt’s profile won’t sell every team, as he lacks power and has no clear defensive position, but he can run and get on base. Prep Baseball Report: LHH with really quick hands, had quality at-bats with multiple knocks against one of the best arms in the SEC. Uses the whole field, average bat speed with excellent feel for the barrel and the ability to recognize spin. Can play multiple positions OF/2B with above average range and high end feel. Changes directions ultra-fast, accelerates easy, and can steal bags. Likely top of the order hitter in pro ball, can play all three outfield positions and possibly second base. Has been playing RF. Must play CF or 2B to have the most value. Likely 3-6th round pick, but his signability as a soph-eligible will play a large part in where he is ultimately selected. Keith Law: Holt has played some corner outfield but lacks the power for that spot, profiling better in the infield as a high-contact guy with plus speed. He helped his cause by getting three of the Red Raiders' four hits off Alek Manoah in an April matchup. LINKS: VIDEOS:

ROUND 6 (193rd overall): Nick Bennett, LHP (Photo: Steven Branscombe) Height: 6'3 Weight: 200 B/T: L/L School: Louisville Year: Junior DOB: 9/1/97 SCOUTING REPORT: MLB Pipeline: Bennett’s pitchability likely outpaces his stuff, as his heater hovers in the high 80s -- occasionally touching 93 mph -- and his curveball and changeup each rate as average at best. But the southpaw competes, showing an ability to throw for strikes and limit walks for Louisville. Perfect Game: Bennett hasn’t had the year he was likely looking for, struggling to a 6-3, 4.86 record in 12 starts and 63 innings after going 13-3, 3.02 over his first two seasons as a starter for the Cardinals. At his best, Bennett has a solid three-pitch starter’s mix and the ability to miss bats. Perfect Game (3/9/19 Game Report): Louisville's Saturday starter and one of their top draft prospects this year, lefthander Nick Bennett, had a solid if unspectacular rain-addled start against Boston College. The game ended up being postponed in the sixth inning with Louisville leading 10-0, and while Bennett was certainly effective, the stuff and command was a little vanilla in the poor weather conditions. He's a big, physical lefthander with excellent size and strength throughout. The mechanical operation, however, has some kinks to iron out. He's stiff throughout his delivery, landing slightly closed off and really grinding through the plant leg to finish rotating. He also severely spine tilts towards the third base side to allow his arm to get up to near a high three-quarters slot, but the plane and angle he creates is at least moderately negated by the lack of command that delivery contributes to. The operation isn't clean, as stated, but Bennett came into 2019 high on some draft boards for a reason, and he shows flashes of excellent stuff. He was up to 93 mph with his fastball early on in this one, settling into the 89-91 mph range for the most part with some valleys below and peaks above that range. It's expected that the velocity will tick up a bit as the weather warms, and it's well within reason to project a 55 fastball for him. He creates excellent angle to the plate, and while the lack of glove-side fastball command is problematic, he's able to miss bats with the fastball in the zone to some degree. The off-speed stuff was all a bit inconsistent in this one – and it's important to point out again that the weather was not good – but there were flashes of a total arsenal of average-or-better pitches. He worked slider, curveball and changeup off of the fastball, and threw them all with regularity, something not seen from amateur pitchers very often. The slider was the best pitch on this day, thrown in the 78-80 mph range with good, late bite. It gets a little sweepy at times, and he will overthrow it at times, but the pitch showed 55 with some regularity and should be a bat-misser for him long term. The curveball was a bit soft, thrown more in the 73-75 mph range with some sweep and depth to it. It's a fringy pitch right now because it's softer and not a bat-misser, but he can steal strikes with it and it pairs well with his slider. The changeup was likewise inconsistent, but flashed average a few times, thrown in the 80-82 mph range with good fade at the plate. We're going to slot Bennett into roughly the fourth-round range on our next draft board update, though there is still the potential for him to rise significantly as the weather warms up and the quality of looks the scouts get on him improve. He shows flashes of throwing four at least near-average pitches for strikes with some remaining projection on all of them. The mechanical operation is concerning in some respects, but there is a lot to like about his profile, and he's still a pretty easy top five round talent with the ability to still climb boards this spring. Baseball America: A 40th-round pick of the Giants coming out of high school, Bennett has been one of the more durable and reliable pitchers in the ACC over the past three seasons. But in the lead-up to the draft, his durability suddenly became a question as he was held out for two weeks with a forearm strain. When he returned, his stuff and command was a tick below normal, and he allowed nine hits and six earned runs in his first 2.1 innings back on the mound. When he’s at his best, Bennett can attack hitters with a 90-92 mph fastball and above-average control. He mixes in a big, slow, above-average curveball that has the ability to lock up hitters. The command and consistency of his curveball helps the pitch play up because he can throw it for a strike in any count. He also has an average changeup. Bennett has long impressed scouts with his fearlessness on the mound, but his late-season swoon complicates his draft status. Prep Baseball Report: Physical lefty with a stiff delivery and open, off-balance landing. Muscles the ball to the plate to produce velocity. Despite the mechanical roughness, Bennett repeated his delivery for the first two innings and consistently released his pitches out front from a high three-quarter slot. Mixed his pitches to a variety of locations. Fastball sat 90-92 mph, topping at 93. Spotted the pitch down in zone and to both sides of the plate. Stayed on top and released out front his near average 74-77 mph curveball. Also, mixed in a fringe changeup at 83-86 mph. However, the third inning was a different story as Bennett started to miss spots, hit bats and was knocked from the game (2.1 IP, 9 H, 6 ER, 1BB, 2 SO). Overall, Bennett's delivery is likely to remain inconsistent going forward just as it was on this look. He profiles as a reliever in professional baseball and will likely be selected during the middle-to-later rounds on Day Two this June. LINKS: VIDEOS:

ROUND 5 (163rd overall): Thomas Dillard, C (Photo: Twitter) Height: 6'0 Weight: 235 B/T: S/R School: Ole Miss Year: Junior DOB: 8/28/97 SCOUTING REPORT: MLB Pipeline: Scouting grades: Hit: 45 | Power: 55 | Run: 40 | Arm: 50 | Field: 40 | Overall: 45 Dillard led all national high school players with 16 homers as a senior in 2016 -- finishing one ahead of Kyle Muller, who signed with the Braves for $2.5 million as a pitcher. He went undrafted because he was strongly committed to Mississippi and lacked an obvious position. Three years later scouts still aren't sure where he fits best, but he's a switch-hitter who has hit for power in the Southeastern Conference and draws some "poor man's Kyle Schwarber" comparisons. Dillard generates impressive raw pop with a combination of bat speed, strength and loft in his swing. He has improved his plate discipline and contact rate throughout his college career and has a chance to hit for average as well. Though he has below-average speed, he's aggressive on the bases and has good feel for picking spots to steal. Dillard has played mostly left field at Mississippi, showing at least average arm strength but limited range. The hope is that he can become an adequate defender in left, but he could wind up at first base or DH. He was a catcher in high school and has seen brief action behind the plate for the Rebels, though the consensus is that he doesn't receive well enough to do so in pro ball. Perfect Game: Dillard has been a mainstay in the Rebels’ lineup since he got to campus in Oxford, and he has a pretty polished hit tool from both sides of the plate. There’s good raw power and a real chance to hit consistently at the next level. Unfortunately for Dillard the rest of his profile is limited as the physical switch-hitter doesn’t offer much in terms of speed or defensive value, but if he continues to hit and drive in runs that won’t matter as much. Perfect Game (4/26/19 Game Report): Slugging Ole Miss outfielder Thomas Dillard might be one of the biggest risers this year in terms of draft status as he hasn't been able to stop hitting and has entrenched himself in the day one conversation for this year's MLB draft. Dillard is a switch-hitting corner outfielder with plus raw power and has been on a monster tear through the early part of the season. Dillard is built like a bowling ball with a 6-foot, 230-pound frame that looks like he hits leg day very hard with immense lower half strength. There isn't a whole lot to project on the frame as he's already incredibly strong and gets to his power a lot in games. The question for Dillard at the next level will be where his ultimate position home lies. He's listed as a catcher but mans left field for Ole Miss and while he does an adequate job there first base could be in his future as he doesn't look the most comfortable in the outfield grass and is a below average runner. The main value of Dillard's profile is going to come from the offensive game and it is loud. Dillard hits from a very wide stance with good balance throughout from both sides. He's a bit shorter to the ball from the right side and has more natural loft, and length, from the left side. This allows Dillard's power to play more naturally from the left side but he also gets his fair share from the right side from virtue of his ability to impact the baseball hard at the point of contact. The power doesn't just play to the pull side, he can create hard-hit contact to any part of the diamond. He uses all fields but really likes pulling the ball and gets his hands in a good position to launch. Dillard has an OPS over 1.000 this season and has really improved his plate discipline too, walking 39 times compared to just 25 strikeouts on the season. If he keeps hitting and hitting the ball hard, Dillard offers significant value as a bat-first prospect to a team at the next level. 2080 Baseball: A switch hitter, Dillard is a little more fluid from the left side but shows above average power from either side. While he’s more power than hit, he’s made strides with the bat. He has feel for the strike zone, and has successfully cut down on his strikeouts each season. He saw limited action behind the dish for the Rebels, but his future defensive home is likely in left field or at first base. Baseball America: Dillard has well above-average raw power, putting on impressive batting practice displays, and he’s a switch-hitter who is especially impressive when hitting lefthanded. Dillard has a compact build and a swing that is short and direct to the ball. He was Ole Miss’ best hitter as a sophomore—leading the team with 13 home runs as well as posting a team-best .439 on-base percentage and .563 slugging percentage. He’s been similarly productive as a junior, although his power largely disappeared in Southeastern Conference games. Dillard projects as an average hitter with a solid batting eye and above-average power potential. He has also been surprisingly productive on the basepaths despite fringe-average speed. He’s swiped 32 bags in 37 attempts the past two years. The question with Dillard is where he will play defensively. He’s primarily been a left fielder for Ole Miss, but this year he did catch a few midweek games for the Rebels. In left field, he’s a fringe-average defender. Scouts see him as a fill-in catcher, at best, in pro ball, with currently well-below-average defense. However, they do note that he hasn’t had much of a chance to focus on catching in college, as he’s played on the same team with Cooper Johnson—one of the best defensive catchers in college baseball. Prep Baseball Report: The former switch hitting high school catcher hit out of the lead off spot for the Rebels. The physical build obviously jumps out but he’s not just a hitter with enormous pop. His swing is compact with no wasted action but shows nice top hand strength though the zone. Toes were on the inner chalk as he showed no trouble getting to anything on the inner half, doubling on a FB in and also had a single (both to the pull side). Love the set up with the elbows in tight against the body creating that short barrel path. Showed nice discipline by routinely laying off of breaking balls down in the dirt and really has an understanding of the hitting zone. The bat path obviously has some tilt in it. Although the form may not be picturesque, he can run especially for a guy of his stature. Arm strength is average from LF but the bat plays. ML role as bench bat/4th OFer with potential based on his past days to serve as a 3rd/emergency catcher. Top 5 round potential. Fangraphs: Dillard has huge raw power but a maxed-out frame that will limit him to first base. Jeff Ellis: Dillard was a prep catcher who has spent some time at catcher, outfield, and first base for Ole Miss. He performed very well for the first half of the year, hitting for power and looking like the player who led the country in home runs as a senior in high school. Then SEC play began and Dillard turned into an average bat. He hit just two home runs over 30 games and his average, on base, and slugging were all down. Before conference play, he looked like a second rounder, now he is more in the fourth or fifth round range. Dillard has no position at this point. His value is all tied to his bat. His near 20 percent walk rate was his best offensive performance for a player who saw his numbers down across the board. A down year plus lack of position could make him a candidate to end up back at Ole Miss. LINKS: VIDEOS:

ROUND 4 (133rd overall): Nick Kahle, C (Photo: Washington University) Height: 5'10 Weight: 210 B/T: R/R School: Washington Year: Junior DOB: 2/28/98 SCOUTING REPORT: MLB Pipeline: Scouting grades: Hit: 50 | Power: 40 | Run: 35 | Arm: 50 | Field: 50 | Overall: 45 When Kahle first got to the University of Washington after playing his high school ball in Southern California in 2017, he got to learn under the wing of Joey Morgan, who ended up being a third-round pick of the Tigers that June. Kahle's been the starter since, and while he might not surpass his predecessor in terms of when he gets taken, he's had a tremendous junior season to raise his stock. Kahle has been hitting with a lot of confidence all spring, giving scouts hope he'll hit for average at the next level. He's shown the ability to catch up to good fastballs with solid bat speed and recognizes breaking stuff well, which he's gotten a lot of as teams have pitched around him. He tends to show mostly gap power, but he does stay inside the ball well and shows some ability to turn on pitches for some home run power. Short and stocky, Kahle is a below-average runner and doesn't have that much agility behind the plate. He has improved his receiving and blocks well, and while his arm is fringy strength-wise, it's accurate. Teams thinking about taking Kahle early will be buying the bat and believing it will play as a pro. If it does, he has the chance to play a long time, with a floor as a very good backup and the chance to be a solid regular if everything clicks. Perfect Game: Kahle is going to be one of the darlings of the performance group of players, especially when you look at his walk totals. He has a 59:26 BB:K ratio in 2019, to go along with an overall triple slash of .337/.511/.529 with seven doubles and eight home runs. A compactly-built, physically strong backstop, Kahle has a solid collection of average tools to go along with that tremendous eye at the plate and some hidden raw power as well. Perfect Game (2/19/19 Game Report): Washington has done a nice job in recent years developing backstops for the next level and Nick Kahle should help continue that trend. Coming off of a strong sophomore season, Kahle is an undersized grinder and leader that has done a nice job handling UW’s pitching staff. He didn’t get tested behind the plate by opposing baserunners but showed average arm strength in between innings. At the plate as a righthanded hitter Kahle takes big boy hacks, looking to do damage and ran into one during game action for a home run. He employs a wide base and a leg ick helping him get into his lower half and drive the ball with a clear intent to elevate the baseball. Baseball America: Kahle is a short, 5-foot-10, 195-pound catcher who has shown excellent feel to hit in a career-best junior season. Through his first 50 games, Kahle was hitting .337/.511/.528 with terrific plate discipline. His 59 walks through that stretch were good enough for the sixth-best walk total in the country among Division I hitters, and his 1.18 walks per game trailed only Oregon State catcher Adley Rutschman. Scouts praise his approach and note that he rarely chases balls out of the zone. He swings with a short, direct path to the plate that generates some loft, but he has mostly doubles power right now. Kahle is known as a smart player who works well with pitchers. There are mixed reviews about his defense behind the plate. Some scouts see him as a polished receiver with good blocking ability and solid arm strength, while others think his arm is below-average and wonder how well his frame will hold up in the future. Prep Baseball Report: Stocky build with strength throughout his frame at 5-foot-10, 210 pounds. Moves better than you might initially anticipate. He’s not a stiff athlete by any means. Has the actions and skills to be a quality defensive catcher at the next level. Doesn’t possess any above average, standout tools but does everything well and has been a consistent performer all spring. Didn’t see him show off his arm strength during I/O and ASU didn’t attempt to steal any bags on the 2 games we saw. Popped a 2.15 in-between innings but never felt like he was truly cutting it loose at game speed. Polished receiver with a reliable glove hand. Has the agility to get out of his stance and make plays in front of the plate. Offensively he has a relaxed and open set-up in the box. Keeps hands tight to his body and never loses control of the barrel. Stride foot lands soft and he stays in an athletic hitting position throughout. Has a knack for generating consistent contact. There’s an uphill path to his swing as he finishes. While he flashed some raw power in BP, he seems best suited as a contact hitter who uses all fields. Maintains a highly advanced approach with impressive on-base skills. As of May 1st, has an OBP of .519 thru 39 games, good for 6th nationally in all of D1 baseball. He’s also currently sporting a ridiculous 43:17 walk-to-strikeout-ratio. Kahle is a throwback type of player who brings tremendous value to the offensive and defensive side of the ball. Fangraphs: Kahle has great peripherals at the plate but is more of a catch-and-throw type. LINKS: VIDEOS:

Brewer picked by the Astros at 106.

Callihan went at 85 to the Reds.

I'm mostly concerned about getting the best lineup on the field and to me, and I really think there are enough PAs to go around between 1B/2B/3B for Moose/Shaw/Thames/Hiura/Aguilar, depending on pitching matchups. It also gives them an extra bench bat, which is more valuable than the low leverage mop-up innings of an 8th reliever if you can get away with it.

This is kind of a false choice, though, no? I'm looking at Taylor Williams and Justin Barnes out there in the bullpen and the schedule says the Brewers have 3 more days off in the next 3 weeks after having a day off yesterday, with a relatively easy schedule, and I don't think the Brewers need to have two basically mop-up relievers out there right now. If it comes to actually needing that 8th bullpen arm, that's where I make the decision on Hiura/Shaw/Aguilar. The can can still be kicked.

Why is this an either/or? I trust his decision-making ability and do not believe he is infallible. Old Russian proverb, trust but verify.

Unfortunately, the Brewers have a very difficult division that they can win this year. By the way, cut it out with the "people need to wrap their minds around this" and eye roll type stuff.

He's going to AAA.

Yah, it is extremely doubtful that the Brewers would have enough bonus pool space to sign Callihan at 133, if he's even still there.

Those are all self-imposed restraints if the Brewers decide to follow them. The Brewers are choosing not to give Hiura MLB PAs - which I hope works out for them. I just don't think it's the best use of resources.

Draft re-starts at 11:30 central.

Shaw can play first base, if they want to get him regular PAs. There is playing time for all three players especially given that Hiura is right-handed.

Why does having Shaw on the roster force Hiura to sit on the bench?

Ethan Small’s major at Mississippi State is kinesiology. That’s outstanding.

Love the Kelly pick. Without a huge bonus pool, this is the kind of upside risk the Brewers needed to take at least once.

Small can probably pitch in AA right now.
