Dream Draft

[biedergb]

Not based on much other than Patrick's review of the prospects and BA's review so far, but here is how I would like to handicap the Brewers draft, assuming average position value (ie taking BA and Patrick's overall rank and fitting it to our selections, #2, #40, #70 and #110)

 

1st round: If available then Adam Loewen, lhp. Simply put you can never have enough quality arms. One MVP hitter in the line up every day can change a teams fortune offensively, but you need 3-4 stud pitchers to make it far (ie NY, Oak, Atl, and now Cubbies).

If not available, then Delmon Young, of.

 

2nd round: Ideally I would like to see a position player, and I keep reading good things about Tim Battle, of. BA described him as possibly being better than Milledge tools-wise.

If not available, I'd like to see Jarrod Saltamacchia, c. Or if we go Weeks/Young with #2 overall, then a lhp like Scott Maine or Jacob Stevens.

 

3rd round: Lots of position prospects in this slot (65-75 overall ranks), such as Shane Costa, of; Landon Powell (spotlighted today by BA); Daric Barton; Tony (Don't call me Todd) Richie, all three cathcers. If we need a pitcher then Greg Reynolds, rhp, or lhp Josh Banks and Darrin Downs have good write-ups.

 

4th round: How about former Brewer pick, Josh Smith, rhp. Again lots of others to predict here, depends what we do with 1st-3rd, and who drops.

 

Then to cap it all off, I pray we sign a couple of DFE's, especially Dana Eveland, Adam Mannon.

 

Add these guys to our prospect list and we could go 15-20 deep with quality prospects. Anyway, just some thoughts. Tell me what you think.

Nice wish list, and I think your picks are stacked up pretty well with the area in which they'll be taken.

 

I don't think Battle will make it to our 2nd round pick, but it's not a stretch to think he might. As you said, it is your "dream" draft http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif . Battle as a Georgian is drawing a lot of interest from the Braves, who love drafting hometown players & could very well do so with one of their 2 first round supplemental picks.

 

I'll have to put some thought into a dream draft. Jared Hughes has reportedly been falling, even if he shouldn't be, and might be cool to snag with our 2nd rounder. Salty would still be ideal there.

If Battle's available in round 2, you HAVE to take him. His name is BATTLE.

Battle. Very good SquareP. I'll give you that one! Nice work!

 

Battle. I like that one.
