    I'll throw my hat in: 16 - Josh Fields, RHP (Georgia) 32 - Eric Thames, OF (Pepperdine) 35 - Brett Lawrie, C (British Columbia HS) 53 - Chris Carpenter, RHP (Kent State) 54 - Brett Hunter, RHP (Pepperdine) 62 - Jordan Danks, OF (Texas) 94 - Scott Gorgen, RHP (UC-Irvine) I'm tempted to take Purdue RHP Josh Lindblom at #62 as well.

    LaPorta did have two singles, but also three GIDP. Rough.

    Using Jeff Sackmann's MLE calculator, Gamel would be hitting .324/.374/.527 if his numbers are translated from Huntsville to Milwaukee.

    My bad, I interpreted "my pick" to mean "who I would pick if I was the Brewers". I guess that doesn't really make sense given the positional rundown nature of your article.
  5. battlekow
    Three GIDP, a pickoff, and a guy thrown out going first to third on a single all help in that endeavor.
  6. battlekow
    Hmm, interesting. CJ had the Brewers picking him in his draft preview.
  7. battlekow
    Gamel is #26 on their Top Prospects list (which does not include players like Fielder & Braun that are already in the big leagues).
  8. battlekow
    Great job CJ. I think it'll come down to a philosophical debate between Fields (or similar) and Hewitt. I vote for Fields.
  9. battlekow
    Depends on your organizational needs, I suppose. In a vacuum, I think LaPorta is unquestionably the more valuable talent, by a fairly significant margin, but he is unfortunately in one of the worst organizations for his skill set. Just imagine if LaPorta was on the Twins!

    He's #24, and, along with Matt Wieters, is one of only two players on the list to have no Major League service time (I'm not counting Jay Bruce, who will make his ML debut today). Fielder is still #1, Braun still #7, while Gallardo dropped from #11 to #16.

    How far does Sonny Gray fall because of his broken ankle, if at all?
  12. battlekow
    How much of his struggles are being attributed to frustration with being stuck at WV for a second year?

    I can honestly say I have no idea what games you're listening to if you've never heard reference made to Hardy's lack of foot speed. Wait until the next time he's on first with two outs and see if Brian or Bill mentions that there's "below average" or "not very good" speed on bases in case of a gapper.
  14. battlekow
    Branyan will most likely move on next year, and I don't see why Nelson can't fulfill his role or a similar one in 2009.

    Todd Brown's career stats. He hit .447 in 208 ABs at Helena in 1985, but never over .400 at Stockton. The most hits he had in a season was 138 for El Paso in 1987, when he hit .330/.401/.488 overall.
  16. battlekow
    Where the picks debut will be determined by their level of talent, for the most part, not someone else's; i.e. (completely hypothetically) if the Brewers draft a third baseman at #16 and think he can handle A-ball, Steffan Wilson and Zelous Wheeler aren't going to stand in his way.
  17. battlekow
    In the BA prospect book last year, Gord Ash (or maybe it was Reid Nichols?) was quoted regarding Green's defense at third as saying something along the lines of "He's not a star, but he catches it, throws it, and the guy is out."
  18. battlekow
    That's definitely not true. Even the announcers routinely acknowledge that Hardy is not fleet of foot.
  19. battlekow
    With four HR in his last eight games, Green's now slugging .456 with an ISO of .142; in comparison, last year Mat Gamel went .472/.172 and two years ago Ryan Braun went .436/.163.

    Dillon is also in his 30s. Heether has a higher ceiling. That's not necessarily true. Just because a guy is younger doesn't mean his ceiling is higher; I am also younger than Joe Dillon, but his potential is considerably higher than mine. In fact, despite his age, Baseball Prospectus' PECOTA projection system likes Dillon more than former best-prospect-on-Earth Andy Marte.

    CJ, where would Winn likely get drafted based purely on talent?
  22. battlekow
    A better start for Braddock: 5.0 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 4 BB, 6 K, 0 HR. Too many walks, but the rest is pretty.
  23. battlekow
    I would love to see them take Fields with #16. With six more picks in the top 100, they'll have plenty of opportunities to draft the Brent Brewers of the world. Also, I read that a guy at UC-Irvine, Scott Gorgen, has the best changeup in the draft; he's used it to post a great 95/25 K/BB in 85 IP despite a fastball that tops out around 90 MPH. Since he sounds like a hybrid of Villanueva and Inman, he seems like he'd be a great value pick in or about the third round, since the Brewers love drafting players that are the best at something.
  24. battlekow
    No idea. I was hoping someone more informed could chime in.

    link Winn was rated an 8/10 by PG Crosschecker last year.
