Draft news - Miscellaneous updates, mock drafts

[colbyjack]

I think Conger would be a good fit for the Brew Crew. Just like I think Kershaw would be a good fit for the Blue Crew

 

I'm not saying Conger wouldn't be a good fit, and while I wouldn't be disappointed with the selection, it wouldn't be my favorite (assuming some other players would still be available).

 

Colby, I'm assuming your favorite is someone we've discussed multiple times, in part because he attended my college for his freshman year as a highly touted recruit. He's someone the Brewers thought highly of out of high school, but made it known he wanted college or a $2 million bonus.

 

I'll say his name: Jared Hughes. I haven't been shy about my fondness for Hughes, but I am actually not referring to him. I'm not trying to be tricky by keeping his name secretive, just protective knowing that my wishes and the Brewers wishes are never the same http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif .

 

And thanks for the head's up on Kiker, RCWarrior. For your sake I hope Kiker is the Brewers' pick, because you will never find a site like this one to follow his progress. Of course, you would have to deal with jerks like us each time he has a bad outing...http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif .

Surprise, surprise, the Royals may be backing off Miller:

Listen to the excuses as much as you want to, it comes down to money, and if the Royals were smart, money wouldn't be an issue when it comes to the draft and the situation they're in.

I realize that fact-checking is hard, but there's a pretty glaring contradiction there....

 

You have to pay for the content that has fact checking. What do you expect for free!!!???!! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

Of any player I would like Hochevar, although I realize he won't be there and even if he was the Brewers likely wouldn't spend the big bucks to grab him.

 

Of those listed, from their videos and bios I really like Brooks Brown and Jeremy Jeffress, but I would be happy with Conger too.

jeffress is an intriguing player, but as i said before i would prefer a college player.

FYI,

 

The Brewers had an invite only workout on Saturday at MP for prospects that they are considering for the draft.

 

Players in attendance included:

 

Hank Conger

Torre Langley

Devin Shepard (who I think will be a steal in the 2nd round)

Brennan Boesch

Kasey Kiker

Tony Butler

Wes Munson

 

and more...

Colby, just read somewhere that Drabek's brother is also elligible. Is he a decent prospect, or just kind of late round fodder?

[plowjockey]

Josh Morris - Atlanta pick 370. You can go to mlb.com and they have a draft tracker that you can sort round#, by team or alphabetical.
