- 27th round – 2015
- Perrin got the opportunity to see LoA ball in his debut season, which isn’t too shabby for a 27th round pick. He must have impressed the Brewers staff with his 34:4 K/BB rate in 39.2 innings of work. They had to be absolutely giddy at the start of the 2016 season, when Perrin pitched 36 innings at Wisconsin and registered a 47:1 rate with a 2.50 ERA. The big bodied (6’5″- 220 lb.) righty was promoted to HiA and got a one start taste of Double-A, and enjoyed success. Perrin throws a soft fastball with sink and deception that commands both sides of the plate. Overall projection is tough to call from his sophomore season and one should see more Double-A innings. He could become a back-of-the-rotation innings-eater.

- Before (or if) Perrin can take residency as a #4 or #5 type, Woodruff may fill that role sometime in 2017. Another big bodied right-hander, Woodruff led all of the minor leagues last season with 173 strikeouts in 158 innings. He never missed a beat from HiA to Double-A in registering a 27% K-rate over both levels. Of course, he was the Brewers Minor League Pitcher of the Year and could possibly rank within the Top 1o of Brewers prospects.

- International Free Agent (Texas) – 2013
- The Rangers traded Diplan, Luis Sardinas, Corey Knebel to the Brewers in the Yovani Gallardo on January 2015. The aggressive Brewers gave Diplan a shot at LoA after only seeing seven Pioneer Leagues appearances with Texas. He finished 2016 with HiA Brevard County and should return with the Manatees to start 2017. If he builds upon his 2016 success early on, he could be one of the youngest arms in Double-A at 20-years old.

- 6th round (Oakland) – 2015
- The Brewers sent Khris Davis to the Athletics for Derby and Jacob Nottingham prior to the 2016 season. Just before that deal, I listed Derby “Just Off the Scope” for Oakland during my “One to Watch” post. If my top three can work their way into the Milwaukee rotation over the next couple years, then Bubba Derby’s ceiling maybe that of a swing-man from the bullpen. That was basically the plan once Derby came over from Oakland, but the Brewers gave him a shot in the Brevard County rotation and was surprised with the results. If he heads to the new HiA affiliate (Carolina) to start 2017, I would look for Derby to work from the bullpen.
