AA - Players being moved

[WestCoastBrewer]

Anyone think there should be any promotions made from AA to AAA? I say let AA try and win a championship after their great run. Thoughts anyone?

[DHonks]

I could see Heether jumping to AAA to fill in for Rottino, perhaps Fermaint if Gwynn is called up. But mainly any promotions will depend on who from AAA is called up, and the resulting moves

[bork]

If Rottino is called up, AAA needs a backup catcher. None of the catchers are really knocking on the door for a promotion.

[thumperden]

True that! Rottino is probably locked in AAA for the remainder of the season, especially with no catcher ready for a promotion.

[bork]

It just occurred to me that Eure has done well enough in the second half to get a promotion and he's older. He could take over the super-utility role that Rottino holds. He can catch in a pinch as well.

Stars' Late Season Roster Changes

The Milwaukee Brewers have promoted catcher JC Boscan and pitcher Luther Hackman from Huntsville to triple-A Nashville and promoted catcher Carlos Corporan and pitcher Mike Jones from high class-A Brevard County to Huntsville. Jones and Corporan are expected to be in uniform for the Stars? game Friday night against the Barons.

 

Boscan had been with the Stars all season as the backup catcher and leaves after batting .194 with no home runs and 14 runs batted in over 124 at-bats. He appeared in 43 games, including 36 as a starter. Hackman allowed only one earned run over 13 2/3 innings covering eight appearances in relief since joining the team on August 11. The former major leaguer struck out 15, did not walk a batter and earned wins in three of his first five outings.

 

Corporan was batting .270 with three home runs and 38 runs driven in over 86 games, including 53 behind the plate. Jones, the Brewers? first round draft choice in 2001, made 13 starts and six appearances in relief, going 0-2 with a 2.80 earned run average. He struck out 30, walked 27 and allowed 45 hits over 54 2/3 innings of work. Jones started 23 games for the Stars in 2003 and 2004, going a combined 8-6 with a 2.74 ERA in 121 1/3 innings.
