MiniPod 6 | Eric Arnett, The 2009 Draft, and What It Means For The 2019 Draft Jun 12, 2019

Show notes

The Brewers took a college pitcher with their first-round pick of the 2019 MLB Draft. It caused some people to bring up the name Eric Arnett again, which is the equivalent of a four-letter word for Brewers fans. J.P. Breen looks back at the Eric Arnett selection and the rest of the 2009 MLB Draft to see what has changed in the past decade. He comes to the conclusion, too, that the 2009 Draft may actually have been a success for the Brewers, believe it or not.
