I'ts a big day today, Brewers fans. Well, kind of. Look it's not really that big of a deal maybe. Yes, catchers and pitchers reported today. Yes, that means baseball is here. But all it really means for us is grainy photos of Adam Weisenburger running in the Maryvale outfield. Which is great! It's better than no pictures of anyone. Today, we move onto the sweet 16 part of our list after Demi Orimoloye followed up his tie for the 14th spot with a commanding victory. We're also sticking with our theme of adding former prospects who are new to the organization with Ramon Flores, who's health is in question but is likely to be a big part of the major league team once he's healthy. Your list so far:
1. SS Orlando Arcia | 11. LHP Kodi Medeiros |
2. OF Brett Phillips | 12. SS Isan Diaz |
3. RHP Jorge Lopez | 13. OF Clint Coulter |
4. OF Trent Clark | 14. OF Monte Harrison |
5. LHP Josh Hader | 15. OF Demi Orimoloye |
6. SS Gilbert Lara | 16. |
7. C Jacob Nottingham | 17. |
8. RHP Cody Ponce | 18. |
9. RHP Zach Davies | 19. |
10. RHP Devin Williams | 20. |
Again, if you need a little guidance, here are the organizational lists that have been released up to this point. Our list will of course supersede all of them as the definitive Brewers prospects ranking once complete:
Minor League Ball
Baseball America
Baseball Prospectus: 1-10, 11-20
