Brew Crew Ball Community Top Prospects Vote #23

It’s officially February! After a long, dreary winter in Wisconsin, pitchers and catchers reporting is now a mere two weeks away, rejoice and be glad!

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.

Yesterday, Kodi Medeiros was selected as Milwaukee’s #22 prospect. Today, he has been removed from the list and Jake Gatewood has been added as we’ll vote for top prospect #23 through the weekend:
