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.

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. I think "troll" is the word people like to use when their beliefs about the home team are challenged. Its the term that comes from blind loyalty. |

For instance, I like the idea of Jemile Weeks at the 16th pick, even though he is a 2B - I think he could play SS or 3B, and move up as fast as Rickie, batting leadoff, while Rickie bats second. Another of my picks, Petey Paramore, has INCREDIBLE on-base skills, we're talking a 12 on a scale of 1 to 10. Even when he struggles at the plate, he
walks constantly, and he plays catcher.

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.
If the Brewers were to deal Prince (and they should), they better the equivalent of all the players combined that you have mentioned or I'll be disappointed in Melvin. |

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, he'd be the pick here.) 53 - Zach Putnam, RHP, Michigan 54 - Aaron Weatherford, CL/RHP, Miss. St. (or St. Clair, if he's still here this late in the draft....if both are gone, Kyle Long would be a nice pick at this point too). 62 - Ryan Flaherty, SS/3b, Vanderbilt 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 throw much harder, if at all, but he already knows how to pitch and could advance quickly.

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 |

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.

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.

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
