General Draft Discussion

[trwi7]

Hart isn't sure if Sale is going to be a starter? Yipe, not really the ceiling you're looking for in a high-ish first round pick if he's accurate.

Jon Hart is kind of an idiot.

 

Reynolds just called Sale a soft-tosser. /facepalm

I'll say Cox too. He put up some impressive numbers for a sophmore.

[True CryM]

Workman or Wimmers. Two guys who will move fast in the system.

Cox would allow them to trade for pitching. Thats safer then drafting it.

The core of the Brewers is going to be together for a while? Really? you mean like through next season?

[battlekow]

Figures they'd screw with us.

[miggs721]

i heard a whistle from someone....all star type stuff

[Giraldo8]

Ummm, I'm not happy

[Never Outhustled]

I hope Rick Peterson recommended this pick.

Another HS arm. :Sigh: Somebody wake me when 2015 gets here.

[sfl2hnq17]

some team is going to be really happy with wimmers. i am not happy right now. in fact im pretty pissed.

[SoCalBrewfan]

There's a changeup...caught me looking.

I think that was Harold because what he just said about the Brewers was completely wrong...

Wake me up when Arnett is in Milwaukee...

 

I hope he gets there, but come on. Just because you draft a college player doesn't mean he'll help you out tomorrow...

Well, people should be pleased that it wasn't Biddle. Covey entered the year as a potential top 5-10 overall pick. Great overall stuff combined with an advanced sense of pitching. This was my write-up on Covey after last summer's Aflac All-American Classic:

 

After watching Covey pitch in the Aflac All-American Classic last summer, the most impressive thing that stood out to me was how well he disrupted the timing off the opposing batters he faced. He was fearless and aggressive, and really did a nice job owning the outside corner to right-handed batters. He has a slow windup but a fast arm, although there appears to be some effort to his delivery. An overall plus athlete with loose actions, he’s built strongly with broad shoulders and a strong lower half. His fastball sits in the 89-92 range, can touch 95, and he has a great three-pitch mix with a very good curveball and a surprisingly refined changeup. Despite battling some injuries early last summer, he settled down late in the summer and into the fall and has really improved his overall draft status, putting his name among the best pitchers, from high school and college, available for this June’s draft. He is part of an incredible recruiting class for the University of San Diego.

 

Funny how we heard the Brewers connected to 6-8, or more, players leading up the draft, yet not a single mention of Covey. The Brewers remain one of the quietest, most secretive teams out there when it comes to their draft interests.

True, but this guy profiles as similar to Gallardo as anyone else we've taken in the past decade. This isn't the raw flamethrower we usually take. This pick seems to be a new direction.

[jjkoestler]

Does Covey have a high upside? Are we talking potential ace?

[TheCrew07]

Wow the Cubs take a D2 guy, please be a reach that doesn't work out.

[sveumrules]

I'm happy with the Covey pick. The more or less consensus top high school arm in California is fine with me. Keep pounding HS pitching and eventually your number will come up. But then again I still believe in Rogers and Jeffress and play the lottery every week.
