Badger State in the draft

Baseball America is doing a state-by-state preview of the upcoming MLB entry draft. It is behind the subscriber wall, but the title and the lede probably tell you all you need to know.

Badger State probably won't have any early-round picks

Wisconsin has been good for at least one early-round pick in each of the last four drafts, from Erik Cordier (Royals, second round in 2004) to Greg Reinhard (Rays, sixth in 2005) to Tony Butler (Mariners, third in 2006) to Ryan Zimmermann (Nationals, second in 2007) and Andrew Paulauskas (Marlins, seventh in 2007). But the Badger State is barren this time around and may not have a single player chosen in the first 15 rounds.

St. Norbert shortstop Adam Frost is considered the top draft prospect in the state by BA. Here is the write up on a Fox Cities High Schooler who may go:

The best high school prospect in the state is righthander Phil Schreiber [Kaukauna HS]. He repeats his mechanics well and has a sturdy frame, but he's also just 6 feet and 185 pounds and operates at 86-88 mph with his fastball. He showed more velocity last summer in showcases. He'll flash a hard slider but he often gets under it, costing him velocity and break. Schreiber will attend Iowa if he doesn't turn pro.
