Draft Coverage: Reviewing the Brewers 2012 MLB Draft Class

Woof.

Much has been made about how important the Milwaukee Brewers' fifth-overall pick is in the run up to the 2016 MLB Draft, which takes place in less than two weeks. Ray Montgomery will make the organization's highest first round selection in over a decade and should have the opportunity to pick one of the several dynamic talents that are being projected to go near the top of the draft.

Of course, being a dynamic talent and manifesting those skills into a successful major league career are two very different things. As Nick Zettel explored last week over at BP Milwaukee, an organization is generally lucky to get 10 WAR cumulatively from their draft class, let alone pick and develop even one all-star caliber player.
