On June 6, 2011, things were looking bright for the Brewers on many fronts.

On the field, the team was rolling under new manager Ron Roenicke. The Brewers closed May by winning 16 of 21 games to go from 14-20 to 30-25. By June 6, the day the Major League Baseball draft opened, they were 34-26 and building momentum that would result in the franchise's first National League Central championship.

The Brewers also held two picks in the top half of the first round of the draft at Nos.
