The Milwaukee Brewers no longer have one of the best farm systems in baseball. After rounds of trades and big acquisitions, the top level of the farm is depleted. But despite losing the top layer, the system is still deep with players who have a shot at MLB roles in the future. With a deep system, comes some huge decisions.
This year, Brewers have nearly 40 players eligible for the Rule 5 draft. The draft is designed as a way to prevent teams from piling up minor league players who may have otherwise gotten to the big leagues with another organization.
