The Milwaukee Brewers have players prepping for All-Star break activities but in the meantime the front office was hard at work on Tuesday. After drafting an outfielder and infielder on day one of the First Year Player Draft, the Brewers added arms and then some to the organization.
One of the players highlighted in Milwaukee’s draft was the third round choice of Alex Binelas. The third baseman out of Louisville is also a graduate of Milwaukee’s Oak Creek High School. Along with Binelas, the Brewers took two players from the South Carolina Gamecocks program and crossed the border to take players out of Minnesota and Southern Illinois Carbondale. The following nine players were selected by the Brew Crew on Monday.
