Any chance DeVall is there at 32?

Sheets comp: Sonny Gray, but it seems as though he's heading to Vanderbilt.

Potential fast-moving HS pitcher targeted for round 2: Quinton Miller.

Jeremy Sowers comp: Tyler Stovall

Brett Anderson comp: Brett DeVall

I would hope that of the first 9 picks the Brewers select 7 pitchers, 1 catcher, and 1 shortrstop. Its time for a influx of pitching.

Jack Z has averaged .5 pitchers before round 3 in his 1st 8 drafts. If he drafted 3 pitchers before round 3 this year, that would be a massive influx of pitching compared to usual....

I think I'll chime in. I would love a high school arm. I'd love a college arm. But I'd also love a bunch of bats. We have 9 picks before the 6th round, so I'd expect us to have at least 4 pitchers, 1 catcher, 1 3b, and some SS/1b/OF.

Colby, I've tried to follow this year, but I can't find any comparisons.

Who compares most favorably to Sheets?

Who is a HS pitcher likely to be available in the 2nd round that can be a minor league stud and fast-mover, like Inman and Gallardo?

Who is this year's Jeremy Sowers?

Who is this year's Brett Anderson?

Thanks for all you do

But at the same time, we've banned you twice now (bradyo/gordofieldo), so I think the term sort of applies here.

Granted, there's virtually no chance that the Brewers take 5 college guys with their 6 picks, but it's my mock draft.

They've been taking more and more college players in recent years, so I don't think your projection is too big of a stretch. If that is how draft day shakes out, I think people will be pretty happy with those results. I know I would be.

And the one HS player you did take, DeVall, is a rather polished arm that doesn't profile to...

16 - Jason Castro, C, Stanford (not a flash pick, but a pretty safe pick to reach and stick in the majors)
32 - Brett DeVall, LHP, HS (Florida; I'll take the 6-4 lefty with 3 pitches...even if he is a high school kid)
35 - James Darnell, 3b/rf, S. Carolina (If the Brewers have shown a tendency, it's to draft power hitters and see if they'll stick at the hot corner...Hart, Braun, Gamel, and maybe one more? I'm guessing Gillaspie will be gone at this point; otherwise,...

I've been as big of a 'trade Prince' person as anyone, and I even think it's ludicrous to put those guys in the same league as Prince. I'm forgetting right now, but where did Kazmir finish in Cy Young voting last year? I had forgetten about the MVPs Francoeur has been netting. Barry Bonds has nothing on him, obviously. Not every rightfielder can put up a .750 career OPS like Francoeur (and still hold down a job)...that right there gets votes in my book over Prince.

It's one thing to post your mock draft, it's another to be entirely condescending towards the organization and the other fans that post on the site... This organization currently has as deep a farm system as they've ever had since I've been following the minor, I have a hard time...

" Devall would jump at the chance to be the next Yo Gallardo, but he doesn't have that kind of ability. "

Yeah, but maybe not the next Jeremy Jeffress, Mike Rogers, or J.M. Gold. At the same point, Devall and Gallardo are pretty much the same pitcher, give or take a mph or two on the fastball. The Brewers dont develop pitching well. Its known league wide.

Once again, Brewers will never take this kid because his is committed to play college ball at Georgia, which is a much more attractive option that playing pro ball as a pitcher in the Milwaukee Brewers system.

Wow, another rediculous statement. Trolls aren't welcome at Brewerfan. Devall would jump at the chance to be the next Yo Gallardo, but he doesn't have that kind of ability.

My First Six Picks (not really caring or trying to predict who the Brewers will take)...Just who I would take, at those spots if available:

#16 Casey Kelly, SS, Sarasota (FL) HS... Brewers will never take him because he doesnt fit their classic "take a guy 15 spots before he should be" history and also will be a signability issue (also a Brewer fear..see also Fielder, Jeffress, Rogers). But this kid is a great shortstop defensively and projects upward big on his...

Thanks X, for whatever reason I thought Dominguez was a true sophomore.

And Cardinals31, it's hard to argue with the players you took where you selected them.

Re: My first six picks mock:

Chris Dominguez is actually a true sophomore. He's draft-eligible because he's old for his class.

Dominguez broke his arm in the 3rd game of 2006, and redshirted. Heres his Louisville player profile
