Brew Crew Ball Community Top Prospects Vote #14

This is your chance to choose who the most exciting future Brewers are!

Pitcher J.M. Gold

Football season has sadly ended in the state of Wisconsin, so it’s now time to officially shift our focus to the upcoming baseball season. Only three weeks now until pitchers and catchers report!

Our local nine has been only modestly active this winter, especially in comparison to last, though it can be argued that Slingin’ David Stearns has already completed most of the heavy lifting regarding the great Milwaukee Brewers Rebuild. While cutting swaths through the major league roster, Stearns (and his predecessor Doug Melvin) has left in his wake one of the top minor league systems in the game as rated by just about any outlet there is.

Now it’s your turn to parse through Milwaukee’s top prospects and vote for where you think they stack up in the rejuvenated farm system. You’ll be given guidance from the top prospect lists that have already been released, and once outlets like Fangraphs, MLB Pipeline, and Minor League Ball update their lists for 2017, those will be included, too.

Over the weekend, Marcos Diplan was voted as Milwaukee’s #13 prospect. Today, he has been removed from the list and Devin Williams has been added as we’ll vote for top prospect #14:
