Normally, I look at the draft from the Cubs perspective. Which makes sense, on a Cubs blog. However, to start with, I’ll look “across the street” to the recently swept Brewers, before getting back to the Cubs.
In the recently completed four-game set, the Brewers offense wasn’t very impressive. Cold and wind played roles, as did the Brewers defense. However, as I was paying attention, the Brewers have two glaring holes: Catcher and shortstop.
Manny Pina and Jett Bandy don’t seem like valid MLB options behind the plate. They need Stephen Vogt to return and be useful.
