Milwaukee Brewers Top Prospects 2016


                                 Milwaukee Brewers Top Prospects 2016

  Here are my list of top prospects for the Milwaukee Brewers based on 2015 stats. I haven't seen most of them play, so these are based simply on the line stats on MiLB.com. I apologize to all those statistic geeks who know so much more than me. I'm old school and still think RBIs are good and K's are bad. Haha .I will list my best per position.
 
 Pitchers based on 13 man staff
 
SP/LR
 
   RH Rodrigo Benoit - 21 y/o  in DSL 6-1, 2.10 ERA, .92 WHIP Great numbers! My only fear is he came out of nowhere after 2 bad years. Late puberty? 0 HR in 73 innings!
 
   RH Carlos Luna - 18 y/o in DSL 4-2  1.46 ERA, 1.01 WHIP
 
   RH Jorge Ortega - 22y/o in Brevard to AAA, A winning record from anyone not in Biloxi is impressive. 2.38 ERA, 1.06 WHIP
 
   RH Carlos Herrera - 18y/o DSL 4-2 3.26 ERA 80 IP  68H  13BB 73K  1.01WHIP .228Avg.
 
    RH Jorge Lopez - 22y/o at AA  12-5 2.26 ERA, 143 IP 137K, .205 Avg, 1.10 WHIP. Southern league pitcher of the year and certainly Brewer's minor league pitcher of the year. What's not to like except that this is the first year he has performed anywhere near this well. Lets hope he can keep it up!
 
     LH  Josh Hader - 22y/o at AA 2.94 ERA 33IP,44K, .195 Avg., .95 WHIP  We may regret getting rid of Melvin after this trade!
 
    RH Hiram Burgos - 28 y/o at AAA mile high Colorado Springs ERA 3.34, .222Avg., 1.17 WHIP. Former top prospect had surgery and fell off our radar. Give him another chance!

    RH Daniel Missaki 19 y/o A  34IP 31H  5BB 34K 1.04 WHIP Injury ended season

     RH  Bubba Derby  21 y/o A  34 IP  19H   45K  avg.161  WHIP .84
 
    others to watch  Wang, Ventura, Houser, Peralta
 
RP
 
   LH Brad Kuntz - 21 y/o in ROK and Helena  2-0 .88 ERA Avg. .184, WHIP .93 , 0 HR in 41 innings.
 
  LH Shawn Clowers 22 y/o in ROK  2.00 ERA,  .172 Avg, .78 WHIP
 
 RH Cody Ponce 21y/o  Low A 2.29ERA 2-1 .244Avg 1.10WHIP
 
  RH Damien Magnifico 24 y/o closer at AA with 19 saves. Approaches triple digits. 1.20 ERA, .208 Avg.
 
  others to watch  Farina, Olczak, Terry, Chapman

 C - Carlos Leal 24y/o LH hitter .309/.367/.397 at Low A. Consistantly over .300 all year on a team that struggled to hit. Apparently injured the latter half of the season

      Dustin Houle 21y/o RH hitter at High A  .308/.360/.451

     Jacob Nottingham 20 y/o RH at A  .316/.372/.505  17 HR

  3B  no prospects. Going to have to move Segura or Arcia

  2B George Iskanderian  21y/o RH at Helena .328/.367/.403

        Blake Allemand 23 y/o at Low A .293/.341/.361

        Nathan Orf  25y/o RH at AA .274/.378/.368  His .378 OBP is consistant  every year. Walks a lot which is what the Brewers desperately need.

   SS Orlando Arcia  21y/o RH .308/.349/.457 at AA

         Isan Diaz  19 y/o LH  .360/.436/.640/1.076 at ROK


    1B Garrett Cooper 24 y/o RH at AA  .311/.375/.454 at 6'6" probably play here rather than 3B

    OF Trent Clark 18 y/o LH .313/.426/.438 Going to be our best 1st round pick since Braun

         Joantgel Segovia 18 y/o RH up to ROK from DSL continued to get on base. .331/.392/.347. Suffered a season ending injury

        Brett Phillips 21y/o LH  at AA .309/.374/.527 Bring back Doug Melvin!

 players to watch Taylor, Roche, Harrison, Oriomyole

I am more encouraged with our farm system than before. We are better than last year with the off-season trades but still will have a losing record throughout MILB. My two favorites this year - Kuntz and Clark.
