Anyone left you really want the Brewers to sign?


I should qualify that as other than LaPorta of course, who will sign because he's got no place to go if he doesn't.

 

I would really like them to sign #6 Daniel Merklinger and #11 Cody Scarpetta yet but other than that I"m pretty indifferent to the rest. They've alread signed an avalanche of picks, so gimme my 2 pitchers and I'm a happy guy.

I can't believe the number of early picks. I really hope to bug the Brewers a little bit and get their insights to their approach to this year's draft. 26 guys signed less than a week after the draft is astonishing.

 

Other than the early guys you mentioned, I would love to see the Brewers make a run at Richard Hague. He may be looking for 2nd round money, but he is one of those guys that you can just see going to Rice and being an early round pick three years from now. Rice has developed a couple of talented shortstops in recent years (Paul Janish and Brian Friday) and Hague seems to be poised to be the next in line.

 

The guys taken in the 20s (Hawn, Hoehn, Bell, White) would be nice additions as well, and as much as I like White, none of them stand out as much as Hague does to me.

I'd like them to sign Scarpetta most among the guys left. Merklinger seems very unexciting to me based on his scouting reports (bad stuff, bad control, little upside). The reports could hopefully be wrong, but still, not encouraging reports.

I am hoping for Bobby Bramhall once Rice is done with the World Series. Also would like to see the local kid, in a manner of speaking, Cullen Sexton get signed. Stewart Ijames would be nice as well.

I'm interested in Shawn Zarranga. Smart, hard working, and speaks 4 langages, which could be an asset for a catcher. Even better, it seems he has some baseball skill too.

X, Zarranga was the one guy who clearly stuck out to me in the later rounds for the Brewers too. He seems like an incredible athlete with good size. Unfortunately, the first thing I thought when I saw where we drafted him was, "There is no way this guy signs." It seemed like a token "this guy probably won't sign but we'll take a flyer on him anyways" sort of pick. But yeah, he looks like an awesome catching prospect.
