Coming in at #6, Josh Smith, a RHP from Central AZ JC. The Brewers took Smithin the 20th round I believe back in '01. I believe the Brewers expected him to attend a JC, possibly Central AZ, but then he attended U of AZ, or AZ St. and was on that team for a year (again, I think) before transferring. He flashed a big-time fastball that turned a lot of heads and signed late with a D1 program that basically stole our chances from controlling his rights leading up to last year's draft. He isn't under anybody's control, so he's free to be drafted in early June.

 

At #11 is Brewerfan.net favorite Dana Eveland.

 

Justin Barnes didn't make this list, I'm not sure why. I think he might have been forgotten, as I find it hard to believe he wouldn't make the top 50 JC prospect list.

that Barnes was going to be #3 on the list. I wonder if they knew in advance about the signing.

That's certainly another pretty good haul with the DFE's this year. After last year waiting impatiently hoping to sign Manny I have complete faith in the team to ID the talent they want to sign and get it done. Can't wait for Eveland to get signed.

on where Josh Smith will go in the draft?
