2015 marked the first Rule 4 Draft that new Milwaukee Brewers’ Scouting Director Ray Montgomery. The Brewers hired Montgomery (a former scout with the organization) away from the Diamondbacks this past winter following the tragic death of Bruce Seid.
Seid has caught criticism for the lack of high end prospects that have come up through the system in recent years, whiffing on picks early like Eric Arnett and Kentrail Davis early on in his tenure as scouting director for the Brewers. During has last few seasons at the helm, however, Bruce changed his philosophy and added several young, high ceiling type prospects like Clint Coulter, Monte Harrison, Tyrone Taylor, and Kodi Medeiros to the system.
