He could probably play LF or 1B, but i dont think there is a lot of agility there...i havent seen him catch since we were at UGA, so i would guess that's out of the question... he's a good enough hitter to make it to AAA...but you are right doug, he needs to find some versatility to make the bigs... I've seen him play like 15 times, and they've all been at DH or 1b, so i think that says a lot.. oh, and Ned's the fourth, not jr.

Welcome aboard Kirk! We all tune in from time to time...

he was awol, i believe...when you ditch in the minors, you go on the restricted list and stay there until you show up and make amends or retire... i don't think i like this guy any more...

Ryan Braun has 5 hr's, 5 2b's, and 3 singles....holy crap

if it was 2001, i would have fallen out of my chair about this signing...i think this guy will put up some monster numbers in AAA...and suck royally in the majors...but its still cool to have him..

Cole Gillespie with 2 bombs tonight....

Capuano is not a free agent until after the 2009 season here's a link to the brewerfan salary page: www.brewerfan.net/ViewTeamSalary

with today's game, he's got to be slugging close to a thousand, not to mention the the bb/k rate... he's dominating AAA like rickie weeks did now....i think the brewers might not be able to wait until june...its becoming clear that braun could be one of the best hitters on the team this season...

still coming back from the leg break last season... as soon as info is released, Brewerfan will let you know...i can nearly guarantee we'll have the info first...

geez, that's gross

Brewer will stay at shortstop for better or worse. the brewers have no plans to move hm anywhere and they have told him this...

he has underwhelmed at times, but i try to stay as optimistic as possible about prospects...He'll always be a lefty, so he'll get a million shots...he could be shifted to the pen at some point

you had me fooled there for a minute jim...

wait, the guy who's name is DL Sheets is calling people pessimists? trading for manny gets brought up every year...it would take all the brewers top prospects and a lot of money...that's why no ones gung ho about it...

Final: Nashville 5, Oklahoma (Rangers) 4 Game Summary: from Nashville Website: Braun, Rivera Homer To Lead Sounds To 5-4 Win Date Posted: 4/10/2007 NASHVILLE ? Ryan Braun and Mike Rivera delivered first-inning home runs and Zach Jackson turned in a solid start to lead the Nashville Sounds to a 5-4 victory over the Oklahoma RedHawks on Tuesday evening at Greer Stadium. With the win, Nashville (2-4) snapped a three-game skid and registered season highs for hits and runs scored. Jackson (1-1) earned his first win of the year after allowing two runs (one unearned) over five-plus innings of work. He struck out six batters while walking one. For the second straight night, the RedHawks scored in the top of the first inning against Nashville. Ramon Vazquez reached on a one-out single and came around to score the game?s first run when Victor Diaz followed with an RBI double to the wall in left-center. The Sounds responded quickly, putting up a four-spot against Oklahoma starter John Koronka in the bottom of the frame to grab a 4-1 advantage. Braun (2-for-4) put Nashville on top when he slammed his first career Triple-A homer, a two-run shot that careened off the guitar-shaped scoreboard in left-center. The one-out blast scored Jose Macias. Rivera continued the big inning two batters later when he belted his first homer of the year, an opposite-field two-run shot to right that also scored Joe Dillon (single). The Sounds tacked on another run against Koronka in the fifth when Dillon scored on a Vinny Rottino double-play groundout. Oklahoma made it a 5-2 contest when it scored an unearned run against Jackson in the sixth, stemming from a catcher?s interference call against JD Closser. The RedHawks pulled within a run against reliever Alec Zumwalt in the seventh when Diaz, who finished 4-for-4 and was a home run short of the cycle, drilled a two-run triple to right that rolled to the wall after skipping under the glove of a diving Rottino. The visitors continued to apply the pressure to the Sounds bullpen in the late innings. Sounds reliever Jose Capellan worked into and out of a bases-loaded jam in the top of the eighth inning, escaping unscathed after inducing an inning-ending flyout from Freddy Guzman. Mitch Stetter fanned the first Oklahoma batter in the ninth before giving way to Dennis Sarfate, who, like Capellan, worked into and out of a bases-loaded jam before retiring Guillermo Quiroz on a game-ending flyout to left to earn his first save of the year. Koronka (0-1) continued his career struggles against the Sounds, taking the loss after allowing five runs on seven hits over five frames. In five career starts against Nashville, the southpaw is 0-5 with an 8.77 ERA. Macias and Closser each picked up their first hit of the season in the contest for the Sounds. All five of Braun?s hits this season have gone for extra bases (four doubles, one home run). The Sounds and RedHawks continue the series with a noon matinee on Wednesday afternoon at Greer. Right-hander Tim Dillard (0-0, 2.84) will man the bump for Nashville to face Oklahoma right-hander Doug Mathis (0-1, 7.20). Box Score: Nashville with a giant first inning. Big night for Ryan Bruan, with his first AAA bomb. Sarfate and Cappellan strong but wild---Sarfate with his first save of the year. www.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb..._nasaaa_1 Game Log: www.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb..._nasaaa_1

Final: Lakewood (Phillies) 9, West Virginia 1 Game Summary from Team website: BLUECLAWS SCORE EARLY AND OFTEN TO BEAT POWER The Lakewood BlueClaws scored all nine of their runs in the first three innings of Tuesday night?s game at Appalachian Power Park as they defeated the Power 9-1 in the second game of the series. Lakewood plated five of their nine runs in the first inning. Jay Miller was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded and brought in the first run of the inning before Gus Milner smacked a bases loaded double to drive in three. Julian Williams knocked in the final run of the inning with a single. Lakewood added three more runs in the second inning. Gus Milner capped off his five RBI night with a two run single and C.J. Henry drove in the final run in the second with a double. Julian Williams scored Lakewood?s final run on a wild pitch in the third. The Power came up with their only run on Chuckie Caufield?s RBI triple in the bottom of the sixth inning. Despite the loss, the Power received great performances from Patrick Ryan and Dustin Lidyard on the back end of the bullpen. The two right-handers combined to pitch six scoreless innings of three hit ball in relief. Jimmy Mojica and Anderson Delarosa both had two hits for the Power. Kyle Drabek (1-0) earned the victory and Roque Mercedes (0-1) took the loss. The Power fell to 2-3 with the loss and the BlueClaws improved to 3-2 with the win. The Power will continue the four game series against the Lakewood BlueClaws at Appalachian Power Park on Wednesday night. Lakewood will start right hander Carlos Monasterios (0-1, 94.50) and the Power will counter with left hander Brae Wright (0-0, 2.08) . The first pitch is scheduled for 7:05 PM. Box Score: Jimmy Mojica continues to play very well. Don't forget that Roque Mercedes has a ton of talent, so the Brewers will continue to give him the ball. Great stuff from the pen... www.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb..._wvaafx_1 Game Log: www.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb..._wvaafx_1 Edit: accidental emoticon

i called him BK because i couldnt remember his first name.

al--- here's linkage from the denver post... www.denverpost.com/rockies/ci_5630727

I would assume he will since it's his debut... this is like the Chris saenz start a few years ago...i doubt they have any real scouting on this guy...they'll either kill him, or make him look awesome..

rotoworld repoirting that the possible deal for cappellan was BK Kim

they become free agents after year 6 if they havent been added to the 40 man... i'm guessing that fermaint would fall into the "sarfate" rule category, so he should get an extra option year, meaning he has this year, plus 2 more to make it to the show... since he should play half of this season at AA, there's no worries..

This has probably already been talked about,... I got to watch the Miami-Georgia tech game over the weekend and really enjoyed watching Matt Wieters. The Guy reminded me a whole lot of Dale Murphy---which leads me to ask: Is he going to stick behind the plate?

you can dig through the individual stats at milb.com....
