I just got this in my email from the Media Relations department. I hope it's not a dupe, I didn't see this anywhere else.

 

The players in bold have signed, and their expected level of assignment is noted (Helena or Arizona).

 

Keep in mind that Etheridge (12th round), Bramhall (18th) and Scott (39th) are all playing in the College World Series and thus can't sign as of yet. We'll try to remind you when you can watch them during the tournament.

 

46 drafted, 26 signed.

26 Pitchers: (9 lefties 13 righties), 3 catchers, 3 1b, 1 2b, 4 3b, 5 ss, 8 of, {24 college kids, 22 High Schoolers)

That list at ESPN seems like it must be in error...they also have Jonathan White, Merklinger, Hawn, Scarpetta all signed...while I'd love that, the big reason I distrust it is that they've got people still playing in the College World Series on there: Etheridge and Bramhall.

One thing I've always been curious about that I hope someone can answer: how is it decided whether a draft pick is sent to Helena as opposed to Arizona (or vice versa). Is one more advanced than the other? Or is it because one league is considered a "hitters" league and the other a "pitchers" league?

 

Thanks in advance!

Arizona is a complex-based rookie league, using spring training facilities in many cases. The players there are often fresh out of HS or a 2-year school, or very young signees from Latin America. Helena (and the Pioneer League) is described as 'Advanced Rookie' or, sometimes, R+. Most of the teams have a greater proportion of college kids, or prep draftees in their second year of pro ball. There are often exceptions, though, and a few years back the Brewers had no complex league team, so their HS draft choices went to Ogden or Helena in the Pioneer League.

Also note that there are teams in the league with Helena that still just send their HS kids there. That's one of the reasons Helena seems to contend every year and many of us don't get overly excited when we have a college kid come in and tears things up a bit.

Speaking of rookie leagues, what ever happened to the proposal to eliminate rookie ball? Making the Pioneer a Shot-Season league. Appalachian league would be a co-op league. And the AZ and GCL would become extended spring training.

What jack Z meant was they signed everyone they wanted signed for now. They'll likely sign a few more at the end of the summer. Scarpetta is recovery from a finger injury, and will likely be signed if he proves to be healthy. The team will follow many of the younger draftees through the summer, and then decide who to spend on, like they did last year with RJ Seidel.

He said "at this time", which to me they don't want to sign an injured highschool pitcher. If he heals up great, if not, why waste the money?

I was actually really encouraged by this, to me it sounds like he's saying that they've got a signing bonus both parties are willing to agree on, the Brewers have just told him that they want to see how quickly he recovers and what he looks like after it heals before being willing to pay above slot.
