There's a lot out there right now about the Milwaukee Brewers and rightfully so.
Milwaukee arguably is the best team in baseball and should be considered the top contender in the National League right now. That's how well they've played over the last few months. The Brewers got swept in Tuesday's doubleheader against the Chicago Cubs and yet they still have a seven-game lead in the National League Central standings.
This Brewers team is a juggernaut. This isn't a coincidence and has a chance to last for a long time as well. Milwaukee has the top ranked farm system in baseball right now as well, according to Baseball America.
Things are going well in the majors right now. But, what about down in the minors?
Here are the latest updates for Milwaukee's top 3 prospects:
No. 1: Jesús Made - Infielder
You're going to have to wait a bit to see Made in the big leagues, but he's going to be worth the wait He's just 18 years old and recently was promoted to the High-A Wisconsin Timber Rattlers and has been tearing the cover off of the ball.
