I found a pretty good report on Jeffress. Love the stuff, worried about the fact the wheels tend to come off in starts. Here it is.

Thank you so much.

Excellent read. 

It's the least I could do with all the excellent info everyone else finds. 

I had never seen this site before, but it seems like they do a pretty good job. I'm going to keep checking it, regardless of the prospect they are profiling.

You get used to reading the same old thing over and over. That scouting report has so much new information for me, it was simply outstanding.

I've bookmarked the site.
 

 Here is a somewhat conflicting opinion, though Law has softened on his stance towards Jeffress since the offseason:

 That's the fun part about scouting reports, they rarely, if ever, agree. Which is what makes projecting players so difficult, if you and I were to watch the same performance for the same player we could walk away with 2 entirely different points of view.

I can only imagine how hard the draft is, multiple reports from multiple scouts, all possibly differing, with 1 or 2 guys left to choose from those reports. It would be fun to be a fly on the wall in the draft room just to see how much conversation goes into 1 pick, much less the entire draft.

Matt, I couldn't agree more.  I've gotta think that they just sit in the "war room" and throw darts at pictures.  I wish the MLB draft was more liek the NFL draft.  At least then the fans know what they are getting (alledgedly).  Its kind of frustraing that your hear all the hype about the 1st round pick and then no one sees him for 4 years. Don't you agree?  We've heard all the good and bad about Jeffress for a few years now and still won't see him for a few more.

Yes and no. On the one hand, it would be nice to see what your team is paying several million dollars for. On the other hand you have the NBA and NFL, where the fact that a player is a 1st round pick pressures the team to play him, sometimes to the detriment of the player. Like Yi playing last year, he had no business being in the rotation, but since he was a 1st rounder (and the Bucks may have promised to play him), there he was. Overall, I think the product in the NBA, and to a lesser extent, the NFL, has been tarnished by throwing players that aren't ready in, if for no other reason than to justify the pick to the fans. So I don't know if there is a right answer.

One thing I am sure of, at some point I would like to see a one of these HS pitchers the Brewers have drafted in the 1st round show up in the big leagues.

You should check out the draft special on FSN one of the billion times they replay it, usually after games. They go into the whole process.

An 80 is pretty much unheard of. No one get's that sort of grade on just about any aspect of their game.

I've seen it on speed a few times, that's it. The scouting report I linked to only had it at 65 or 70, I think (which is still excellent). I wonder if Zumaya had an 80 on his fastball (since he went as high as 103 with movement). 

Jeffress is an untouchable to me since we dont have that many pitching prospects. It would be awesome to get him up to AA this year and see how he does.
