Draft Pick Discussion Thread, Rounds 1-5

[colbyjack]

Please use this thread to share your thoughts on the Brewers picks on draft day from rounds 1 through 5. Please do not start separate threads to discuss the individual picks.

i'm hopin for tony butler in round 2. that would be sweet as ever. its VERY likely that if he is still there at 60 that the crew is gonna take him.

[Oswald Chesterfield Cobble]

id be estatic with bard and perez. Doubt either will be on the board when we pick in the first 2 rounds

[DHonks]

not to be picky, but in the past these threads have not been for "who to take", but rather for us to discuss who the Crew takes. Hence why they are pinned to the top

[And That]

It's fine. It'll be over soon.

On a side note, the KC Star is reporting that the Royals will draft Luke Hochevar with the first pick. They were already in negotiations with Scott Boras.

[Chio151]

Hochevar is probably a great choice if they can negotiate the contract. Clearly they think he's the best pitcher since it's a Boras guy. Good PR move by the Royals.

[Oldcity]

So what does that change? I've read that the Rockies are prepared to take Miller with the second pick if he fell.

[clancyphile]

I'm hoping Drew Stubbs slips to 16. Never hurts to have another OF prospect.

 

EDIT: David Huff also looks good. Max Sapp could be a good pickup at catcher.

[PeaveyFury]

Both Mayo and Simpson on mlb.com now have Miller falling out of the top 6 if the Royals do take Hochevar.

[And That]

Mayo has the Brewers taking Snider, Simpson has them taking Kiker.

 

Edit: At the Brewers pick, Mayo still had Sherzer on the board, and Simpson still had Miller on the board.

[Oldcity]

Wow, Miller in a freefall. I'm starting to think the Brewers will take Kiker.

[colbyjack]

Baseball America hinted that Miller may have set his bonus demands so high in hopes that he falls to the Yankees or Red Sox, so don't be surprised if he slides right on by the Brewers.

 

Scherzer could slide too.

[PeaveyFury]

Have to take Miller if he's there...

[colbyjack]

Peavey, they won't, I can almost guarantee it.

[And That]

Miller went 6 to Detroit.

[jwaltz]

Detroit is going to have a filthy rotation in a few years. Bonderman, Miller, and Verlander will form a nasty threesome.

KCBrewfan, my dollar is safe http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif .

[jwaltz]

Stubbs to the Reds.

[1e Corbeau]

mlb video just announced #7. Are you guys getting a faster feed from the audio only? thanks.

[jwaltz]

The MLB.com draftcaster is what I am using. It is very fast.

 

Kiker to the Rangers.

[PeaveyFury]

1e- just use Mlb.com's draft tracker. They've totally screwed up their coverage by mlbtv and radio...

[jwaltz]

We are coming up in a minute or two. I say Chamberlain or Jeffress.

[jwaltz]

It's Jeffress.

[Team Canada]

Well, someone's going to be unhappy with another HS RHP. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
