BP Chats

DateQuestionAnswer
2016-08-11 14:00:00 (link to chat)As a charter member of the Cody Ponce fan club, I'm curious if you think he'll be a Brewers representative in the AZL, considering he missed time in the beginning of the season. Or do you think the Brewers will be cautious with him?
(Mike from MKE)
If they're confident that he's healthy, I do think they'll send him to the AZL to accumulate innings. Nathan Kirby or Taylor Williams could be possibilities, too, depending on their rehab schedules. (J.P. Breen)
2015-06-10 14:00:00 (link to chat)Keith Law gave the Brewers very high marks on the 2015 draft, your initial reaction on the draft? Fastest prospect to move? Highest Ceiling? Highest Floor? Personal favorite pick?
(Tyler from Somewhere in Wisconsin)
I think Law is spot on. The Brewers have had a very nice draft, as I've said earlier in the chat. If he returns with a full bill of health, Nathan Kirby will likely be the fastest mover. As Crawford noted in his day-two analysis, though, left-hander Jake Drossner could move quickly if he transitions to the bullpen. The Brewers don't have a history of doing that, though. Highest ceiling is Trent Clark. If Demi had the same upside, he'd have also gone in the top-15. Highest floor is likely Kirby. Personal favorite is Clark. The Brewers org needed a guy with a feel for hitting, instead of raw power for days. (J.P. Breen)
