Of all the hitters that are impressing on the Brewers farm, I think the Braylon Payne is quietly putting up one of the most impressive seasons of anyone. It's easy to forget about him, given that he's on a team with Fischer, Adamczewski, Dinges, Bitonti and Pena. 

He is supposed be a defensive CF like Lara. But he (age 19) has 10 HR already and is not far off Fischer (22) and Adamczewski (21) in OPS on the T-Rats.  Think he might deserve some bigger attention soon.

If you go to T-Rats games, Payne is far from forgotten or lacking attention. 

He is a major fan favorite, and on autograph Sundays, his line is just as long as Fischer and Pena.  Those three guys are even put away from the others to accommodate their lines...  Last auto Sunday, people started lining up in the 4th inning to get in Payne's line early.

been to T Rats games, but not for autographs. Just doesnt seem to be as much hype relative to other prospects and not listed in top 10 but has as good as many bigger names in the org
