Around SBN: Win or Lose, Boston Celtics' New Big 3 Era A Success

The MLB Draft Thread

Here's Asher Wojciechowski, via www.baseballrumormill.com. If the Brewers don't draft him, I'll have learned to spell his name for nothing.

The MLB Draft begins tonight at 6 pm. Use this thread to discuss the draft and possible Brewer selections. 

So we can have an "I told you so" moment in a few hours, here are the various players I've seen connected to the Brewers over the last few weeks, and the folks who mentioned them:

Our guest post from Andy Seiler suggests the Brewers might consider Texas RHP Brandon Workman, Wimmers, Harvey and Ranaudo, and has profiles of all four.

Of course, if the Brewers somehow manage to go off the board and select a guy that's not mentioned here, we can all write off mock drafting as a worthless exercise.

Enjoy the draft!

First amusing moment

MLB Network’s opening montage kicked off with the same song that was the theme to the most recent Wrestlemania. Let’s hope we’re not in for draftees and executives bashing each other with steel chairs.

one guy who definitely won't be there

word is the reds are locked in on Chance Ruffin of texas

"That's not a weird stat. Rickie is a run-scorer," Yost said. "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter," Yost told reporters. "See, you guys have no concept. He's a run-scorer. So there's nothing weird about it. That's what he does."

Not impressed by Biddle or Jacksons

Scouting report, at least for that early in the draft both seem like projects which for the brewers means a wasted pick

by McCzen on Jun 7, 2010 5:15 PM CDT via mobile reply actions  

What's not impressive about Biddle?

Other than his lack of pre-draft week hype. His potential and track record seem pretty impressive to me, as far as I can tell from reading stuff online

Ryan Braun: He loves it.

Scouting report I read

Sounded like he has a good fastball and average change up, with a below average breaking pitch.

Law and Goldstein suggesting Pomeranz might fall

if so, Brewers should grab him.

In February, Ranaudo and Pomeranz were consensus top 10s, maybe even top 5s. Now MIL could end up with one; maybe both will be on the board. Ranaudo may not be the same guy he was, but Pom is.

Also, I’m chatting with Manning, Hulet, Kimmey, and Bryan Smith at Fangraphs throughout the first round.

Oh, and Grandal is falling.

That is completely insane to me. Yes, money, blah blah blah. But falling to 25? Completely insane. He can hit, and he’ll stick at catcher.

To me, money shouldn’t even be as much of a concern this season as it usually is. If a team doesn’t sign somebody, they get another pick in the supposedly much superior 2011 draft.

Ryan Braun: He loves it.

by SRB on Jun 7, 2010 5:50 PM CDT up reply actions  

Also, money shouldn't be too much of an issue, period.

Aside from pissing off MLB by going over slot.

If you think Grandal is worth a $6MM bonus, he’s worth a $6MM bonus whether you pick him at 5 or 25. If you get to pick him at 25, you’re freaking lucky — it’s like trading for a higher pick, only at no cost.

Also, some teams in the teens seem to be falling in love with guys they shouldn’t … Wimmers, Choice, Vitek, etc. Don’t know much about the HS guys, maybe the same story, though.

Inall sports, I've always thought the first pick should have a shorter clock.

Sure, go ahead and build the suspense, but no need to give them the full clock.

In sports where you can trade the pick, it's one thing

An offer legitimately could come in at the last season. When you can’t trade the pick, though, then it shouldn’t be running down to the wire.

I'm not sure that increases his value that much.

Let’s say he gets to the majors as a 20 year old outfielder. The Nats now own him for ages 20-25.

If he takes a year more to get to the majors as a catcher, the Nats get six potentially better seasons (21-26), plus he plays a premium position.

Now that's great tasting chicken!

by Kyle Lobner on Jun 7, 2010 6:13 PM CDT up reply actions  

At any position but catcher, I think you're right.

But at catcher, pretty decent players are consistently held back because they don’t have enough experience or call a good game.

Now that's great tasting chicken!

by Kyle Lobner on Jun 7, 2010 6:20 PM CDT up reply actions  

IMO, virtually all teams push guys off catcher too fast.

There may be good reasons (focusing on offensive development, or one), but yeah … the Cards are right to push guys in the other direction, to tougher positions when possible.

Someone who knows more about the draft than me:

Is this pick interesting because:

1) There’s no clear player that belongs in this spot.
2) The Royals are an inept franchise so no one knows what they’ll do.
3) Both 1 and 2?

The Brewers have been doing the biomechanics throughout the organization for the last couple of years. With Peterson being who he says he is, I would assume his role is expanded past the big club and his “guidance” permeates throughout the organization.

But to be clear, I said there’s a 10% chance he WON’T be back next year. Meaning there’s a 90% chance he WILL be.

He’s a good consultant for young pitchers pre-draft. Dad calls up and says, “My kid’s got a great arm but…” and Rick brings him in, gets his mechanics where they should be and ships him back to school.

I'd be ok with that.

Really, the only guys on the board I have as “do not want” are Chris Sale and Asher Wojciechowski.

I think Wojciechowski could be a real challenge to handle – he’s thrown far too many pitches this spring, so if he signs he’d have to be handled very slowly…just like what didn’t work with Arnett.

Now that's great tasting chicken!

That is pretty much my thinking as well

Would be most excited about Ranaudo or Allie

I'm hoping for

Covey or Josh Sale.

My goodness.

I know absolutely nothing about any of these guys.

The only guy I don’t want is Chris Sale, seeing as I’ve heard so much about his bad mechanics.

He asked Yovani to throw a dart at the draft board.

You know he works the corners, right?

And he missed

So now they have a hole in the wall, and 1:20 to make a selection.

Now that's great tasting chicken!

We haven't seen Gorman Thomas yet.

He’s supposed to be the Brewer rep.

Now that's great tasting chicken!

Yeah, Yasmani would have been weird

because every 5th day, you’d have YG throwing to YG…

Good or bad? And who just whistled on the mlbtv broadcast?

Big reach there. I guess that’s what happens when you’re bankrupt.
