"Lincecum Lite in RHP Tyler Thornburg, who is 5-foot-11, 190, beat Florida early in season, will give up hitting, may move quick in bullpen"

[trwi7]

may move quick in bullpen

Really hope they at least give him a chance to start.

 

[battlekow]

There goes Marcus Knecht.

[chuckiehacks]

Cole to the Nats.

[trwi7]

Cole goes to the Nats.

[TheCrew07]

There goes Cole to the Nats... darn. I gotta believe if the Brewers liked him they would have taken him earlier.

[chuckiehacks]

Cory Vaughn to the Mets. Thought we might take a look at him.

[EdgarDiazRocks]

Cory Vaughn is Greg's son. Does this mean we get Marc Newfield Jr.?

[TheCrew07]

Hunter Morris, from Huntsville... perhaps a local boy will help the attendance?

Great value pick in Morris!

[Nader Raider Tim]

Not that I know much but Morris seems like real nice value. When I was watching video he stuck out as a guy I thought might make some nice sense for the Brewers in round 2 or 3. Pulling him down in round 4 seems like a pleasant surprise.

That's one hell of a slugging percentage this year. I'm liking this pick more and more as the info comes in.

[Cracked Bat Collector]

I'm pumped about the Thornburg pick...impressive guy who can really bring it...supposedly throws like 96. Liking that Morris pick a lot too.

[True CryM]

Really surprised Jesse Hahn still isn't drafted.

[Boisebrewer]

Another nice pick by Boston.

[battlekow]

Really surprised Jesse Hahn still isn't drafted.

Hahn got hurt the other day.

[packfan79]

We are definitely taking big pitchers this year.

[StearnsFTW]

Another nice pick by Boston.

They are cleaning up..........got a lot of the guys I was hoping for........Workman, Ranaudo, etc.

 

I hate them.

5th rounder, Matt Miller from Michigan...he's 6'6" but had a 5.06 era this year and 4.56 era in his 3 years of college...kind of scratching my head at that pick

[Nader Raider Tim]

It looks like Miller put up much better numbers in the Bullpen so perhaps the Brewers like him as a reliever.

[wishicouldhit]

Can anyone guess what round the brewers will take their first canadian?

[TheCrew07]

The were already beat to the punch on the 2 position players I think they had targeted past the 1st.

[WisconsinSportsRule]

4 of out 5 pitchers. I know we need some pitching, but really?
