No Luis Ortiz is a little surprising. Phillips back in top 100 as well. BA has always been higher on Brett than the pipeline guys have been.

Jeff Ellis’ top 36 going into upcoming amateur season. This is a very deep draft class.

Interesting.

Keston already at #35. Nice.

Monte and Brinson land 1 and 2 on pipelines Malrins list, Diaz checks in at 9 on their list. Jean Carmona, Houser, and Taylor Williams enter our top 30. This is all going to change next month though. After this trade we'll drop in overall farm rankings too. IM guessing to around 10-12 range.

That's actually not as bad as I was thinking. I should probably take a look at the list to give some comfort.

My problem is I want my cake and eat it too. I want the best farm system and a great MLB team without having to give any of them up. Hard for me to reconcile that.

I’m going to guess we have 4 in top 100. Burnes, Hiura, Ortiz, and Woodruff. I know those guys are really high on Lutz too.

Only 3 in the top 100. Im going to guess were a middle of the pack 12-15 system according to those guys.
Woodruff #96
Burnes #69
Hiura #56

Harrison was #71 and Brinson was #27

wichmae · Post #12 » by **wichmae** » Mon Feb 5, 2018 7:38 pm

Longenhagen and McDaniel have
Hiura at #24
Burnes at #35
Lutz at #68

Brinson is at #13
Harrison at #52

wichmae · Post #13 » by **wichmae** » Mon Feb 5, 2018 7:39 pm

Woodruff, Erceg, Grisham, and Ray all in next tier for them.

rarjake · Post #14 » by **rarjake** » Thu Feb 15, 2018 1:35 pm

Very excited to see what Corbin has to offer. Big year for Lutz, and for Ray. They need to take their next step in development. Hiura was supposed to be one of the best hitters,and one of the first to reach the majors. Lets see what he can do this year, if he can make it to AA

Gianstoppable · Post #15 » by **Gianstoppable** » Thu Feb 15, 2018 5:24 pm

Freddy Peralta should be top 100 easily by midseason. Trent Grisham also a guy who could sneak in a top a top 100 list if he continues to improve his game, he could draw 100 walks this season, pretty impressive, just needs to cut down the K rate. Odds are he doesnt make a top 100 list but could be a really nice 4th OF or fringe MLB starter or better.

Sickles has his top 20 Brewer prospects up.

Good read, he does his homework.

Post #17 » by **ReasonablySober** » Thu Feb 22, 2018 6:15 pm

MLB Pipeline has the Brewers top 30. Three in the top 100.

wichmae · Post #18 » by **wichmae** » Thu Feb 22, 2018 7:27 pm

No Bickford in top 30 is surprising

Is there a solid chance Hiura is up in 2019?

He's starting the year at Wisconsin. So thats low A. I think its completely reasonable to hope he's around AA knocking on AAA in 19. If this was the Melvin regime I would say no way but DS and co. have been aggressive. So tough call.
