When the Brewers reached the playoffs in 2008—their lone postseason
appearance in the last 28 years—they had their farm system to thank. It
produced a largely homegrown lineup led by Ryan Braun and Prince Fielder, a
pair of double-digit winners in Ben Sheets and Manny Parra and enough trade
fodder to land C.C. Sabathia at midseason. Sabathia went 11-2, 1.65 after the
deal and won the game that put Milwaukee in the playoffs.
However, Sabathia left for a $161 million free-agent contract from the
Yankees, Sheets got hurt again and also departed, and the Brewers' pitching
subsequently fell apart. They have ranked 15th and 14th in the National
League in runs allowed the last two seasons, finishing in third place in the
NL Central and far short of the playoffs on both occasions.
Milwaukee has been much more successful developing hitters than pitchers over
the last decade. In addition to Braun and Fielder, the system also produced
lineup mainstays Corey Hart and Rickie Weeks as well as Lorenzo Cain, Alcides
Escobar and Jonathan Lucroy, who all took over starting jobs as rookies last
year. But outside of Yovani Gallardo and two more 2010 rookies, relievers
John Axford and Zach Braddock, the Brewers have come up short on the mound.
That led general manager Doug Melvin to revamp his rotation with a pair of
bold moves in December. The night before the Winter Meetings started, Melvin
sent sweet-swinging Brett Lawrie, a 2008 first-round choice who had become
the system's top prospect, to the Blue Jays for Shaun Marcum. That was a mere
prelude to blockbuster deal two weeks later, in which Milwaukee grabbed Zack
Greinke (and Yuniesky Betancourt) from the Royals in exchange for Cain,
Escobar and two of its best remaining prospects, righthanders Jake Odorizzi
and Jeremy Jeffress.
The deals put the Brewers right back in contention in the NL Central, though
they also left them with a farm system that Baseball America ranked as the
thinnest in the game in the upcoming 2011 Prospect Handbook. With the
exception of righthander Mark Rogers, who has made a stunning comeback after
missing all of 2007 and 2008 recovering from a pair of shoulder surgeries,
Milwaukee has no potential impact talent in the upper levels of the minors.
What the Brewers do have are some interesting arms at the lower levels, and
they helped win a pair of Rookie-level championships in the Arizona and
Pioneer leagues last summer. Kyle Heckathorn, a 2009 supplemental
first-rounder, reached high Class A in his first full pro season. Fellow
righthanders Tyler Thornburg, Jimmy Nelson and Matt Miller, all 2010 choices,
were overpowering at times in their pro debuts.
Milwaukee might have found more pitching help if their last two first-round
picks hadn't backfired. Righthander Eric Arnett, the 26th overall pick in
2009 out of Indiana, saw his stuff and control take an alarming step backward
last summer.
And high school righthander Dylan Covey, the 14th overall choice last June,
declined to turn pro after learning he Type 1 diabetes just days before the
Aug. 16 signing deadline. The Brewers will recoup the No. 15 selection in the
2011 draft for not signing Covey.
