  1. Sounds like Luis Martinez is pretty firmly making the case to remain a starting pitcher.
  2. Can't really blame anyone for it taking a week to sort out. Stick Kade Johnson at first, and let Brian Foster be the every day catcher. Keep Ernster on the bench.
  3. Incidentally, the home run totals in High Desert so far: D.J. Clark 5 Brian Foster/Kade Johnson 4 Sounds like we have a pair of blue-chip prospects at catcher. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
  4. It looks like High Desert has two legitimate catching prospects. I would personally rate Foster ahead of Kade Johnson due to the fact that I have less of a question about Foster's durability behind the plate. Kade Johnson's got to prove he can stay healthy. I'm surprised they are not trying to work Clark at third base more, particularly with the way Candelaria is struggling offensively.
  5. Zocco! Zocco! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
  6. Your definition of effort was close to what I had in mind, and it answered my questions. Thanks.
  7. One other question for Ohio Scout: How much should we focus on talent as opposed to a "max effort" player? I'm asking this because we can look at someone like Shane Nance (www.brewerfan.net/ViewPla...ayerId=354 ), who racked up pretty good - almost dominating numbers - in the minors as a reliever. The numbers, in fact, have had me suggesting that the Brewers should see if he could work out as a back-of-the-rotation starter. Similarly, to bring up another point of confusion, Jeff Pickler's consistent numbers (A July, 2001 article I wrote is at www.brewerfan.net/fullArt...ticleId=23 ) in the Brewers system from 1999 through 2001 had me convinced that he should have had an opportunity to win the second base job in Milwaukee as opposed to being exposed in the Rule V draft at the end of 2001 (he's now in the Texas farm system, performing at roughly the same level he did in the Brewers system). How much credit should a "max effort" player get for the "max effort"? How much talent would warrant leaving a "max effort" player behind?
  8. But Green and Williamson were both "bargain" signings, IIRC, and I'm a little leery of laying it all down on college hitters.
  9. Thanks, colby. It might be interesting to have a section on a few of those items under the draft coverage.
  10. They are at an immediate advantage given the physics of how & where the ball is released from someone 6'9" as opposed to someone 5'9" as we talked about last year on the minor league forum. Is that thread still around? A quick refresher might be in order, if it isn't.
  11. Any word on nogeotiations between Loewen and the Orioles?
  12. That is the big question, and quite frankly, I'd rather take Loewen or Young over Miller as things stand.
