Brew Crew Ball Community Top Prospects Vote #27

The calendar has finally turned over to 2018 and the Major League Baseball offseason is now almost complete. Pitchers and catchers report next week!

Our local nine blew the doors of the offseason in late January, dealing away four good prospects to the Marlins to bring in Christian Yelich. That sort of renders this list outdated before it’s even been complete, but we’ll forge ahead and continue voting! So now it’s your turn to parse through Milwaukee’s top prospects and vote for where you think they stack up in the farm system. You’ll be given guidance from the top prospect lists that have already been released, and once outlets like MLB Pipeline and Minor League Ball update their lists for 2018, those will be included, too.

Yesterday, Kodi Medeiros was chosen as top prospect #26. Today, he has been removed from the list and Zack Brown has been added as we'll vote for top prospect #27:
