Official Draft Discussion Thread (Rounds 5-9)

[And That]

Can someone find me a photo of Roy Krasik?

Potential round 6 picks:

Josh Bell, C (Auburn....not the 3b picked by the Dodgers)

Charlie Cutler, C (Cal HS)

Jeremy Slayden, OF (GA Tech)

Mark Wagner, C (UC - Irvine)

 

Anthony Varvaro, RHP (St. John's)

 

Somebody I've never heard of (when all else fails, pick the field.)

[SoCalBrewfan]

So the two interesting HS bats from South Carolina (Havens, Smoak) are still there...they must be viewed as unsignable. If the Brewers have some money to throw around I'd be interested to see them pick one of those guys, or Zach Putnam.

[And That]

It'll be a HS RHP or a college 3B.

[batman]

Cutler or Putnam would be my two choices...

I'm going college 3B followed by HS relief pitcher.

College LHP Steven Hammond.

Brewers take this guy:

 

Steve Hammond

 

I'm really glad the Brewers now have a Dirtbag in their system.

 

EDIT: Actually Adam Heether was a Dirtbag too.

[brettac1]

Apparently, he's a LOOGY

[danzig6767]

Hammond must be considered projectable because his stats aren't very impressive.

[clancyphile]

Sumemr League: 2.30 ERA in 45 IP. As a starter.

[SoCalBrewfan]

His home park could well be the best pitchers' park in college baseball. Hm....another surprise to me. He did play JC ball in Sacramento, as did Manny Parra...so maybe they've been watching him for a while. Still a surprise to me.

[brettac1]

Pujols' cousin goes to the Cards - time for the Crew to take Weeks!

[clancyphile]

Cards draft Wilfrido Pujols...

 

Is he related to that Pujols?

[brettac1]

Michael Brantley, OF, Fort Pierce HS, FL

Hope he's not related to Jeff

[brettac1]

He's not, he's Mickey Brantley's son.

[SoCalBrewfan]

Is he related to Mickey Brantley? I was a fan of his way back when...

 

edit: I'm too slow. The elder Mickey was a nice player...for about a year I guess. I had forgotten he was Brewers property.

[gregmag]

Someone mentioned this before, but could somebody please post a link to MLB's sortable list of draft-eligible players . . . I think they call it their "draft tracker"? The damn thing is impossible to find. Thanks.

 

Greg.

Can't the Yankees afford a functioning telephone? That buzzing gives me a headache.

I hope they grab Weeks the more I think about it.
