  1. This minor league season is turning ugly quickly for Nichols and Melvin on their roster responsibility front. Phelps as a new closer in AAA after a starter-40 man roster deal in the offseason, Novinsky as a de facto closer in AA, Sarfate going on an inexcusable short rest, not enough position players in Huntsville (also inexcusable), too many pitchers up and down the organization, not enough spots in Arizona, not enough outfielders organization-wide, stupid spring releases/trades (Parker, Carpeneter, Machado, Esparragoza). I'm just plain 'ol not impressed.
  2. From a Power 50 perspective, I like this draft a bit more than drafts in recent years. For some reason or another, I feel more confident in the selections past #1. I like Rogers and Gallardo, and I really like Salome, Baker, Sollmann, and Parillo. And I'd really like Wahpepah if not for that contorted picture of him. Last year at this time, we were all all over Weeks, but once it got to Palmisano and Fermaint, it was like... eh? I like all the pitchers that were taken... this system still lacks in pitching, and we could afford to take some chances, so we took them. I commend the scouting staff for that. I think the Brewers were smart in that they took enough college guys that could help soon enough, but they stayed back for the most part and took guys that could be part of the next big wave, along with last year's high schoolers like Hawk and Wooley. I really hope that in a few years we'll be talking about Hawk, Rogers, Gallardo, Wooley, Marion, and Wahpepah as guys that are stepping up. Yah, I would have preferred Bailey and Jaramillo over Rogers and Gallardo, but I like the Salome kid a lot, and generally, a lot of people in the bottom third of the Power 50 better be nervous, if only nervous by extension.
  3. On Lorenzo Cain, from the Tallahassee Democrat earlier this season: Madison County senior outfielder Lorenzo Cain, who will play at Tallahassee Community College next season There's one potential DFEer.
  4. Darren Ford, incognito http://www.vineland.org/athletics/vhssite03/images/S%20plainfield/d.-ford-sp.jpg Yes, that does say "Fightin Clan".
  5. Periard could spent 9 years in the minors and still get to the big leagues at the same age Mike Adams arrived.
  6. More excitement. Round 16: Alexandre Periard, HS RHP, L/R 6'1" 180 1987-06-15, POLYVALENTE DEUX MONTAGNES in Quebec Round 17: Lorenzo Cain, HS Left Fielder, R/R 6'2" 165 1986-04-13, Madison, FL Round 18: Darren Ford, HS Center Fielder, Vineland, NJ Round 19: Josh Brady, College Left Fielder, Texes Tech, Linden, UT Round 20: Jose Garcia, CC RHP, Indian Hills CC
  7. Peter Bergeron sucks. Round 11: Lenny LeClerq, HS Shortstop, Terra Haute, IN Round 12: Andrew Albers, HS LHP, 6'1, 170, North Battleford, Saskatchewan Round 13: Angel Ayala, HS First Baseman, L/R 6'2" 208 1986-07-24, Vega Baja, PR Round 14: Grant Richardson, College First Baseman, Richland, WA Round 15: David Johnson, College RHP, Manhattan Beach, CA
  8. I'll try to pay attention to the hometowns... they aren't listed on mlb.com, though.
  9. Instead of going to a new thread for each player, we'll start lumping them together. Players drafted in rounds six through ten will go here. Round 6: Steve Chapman, HS Center Fielder, L/L 6'0" 180 1985-10-12, FL Round 7: Craig Langille, HS RHP, R/R 6'2" 190 1985-11-12, Bedford, NS Round 8: Brandon Parillo, HS LHP, L/L 5'10" 185 1985-09-22, Huntington Beach, CA Round 9: Derek DeCarlo, College RHP, R/R 6'3" 170 1983-03-24, Miami, FL Round 10: Steven Sollmann, College Second Baseman, R/R 5'11" 195 1982-04-01, Cincinnatti, OH
  10. The MLB scouting report begins with "Strong like bull." That's all you need to know.
  11. The brother in-law of Astros OF Lance Berkman, Josh Baker was one of the other Rice pitchers this year, and he's the Brewers' fourth round pick.
  12. The Brewers' recent DFE signee catcher Clay Bevins was a teammate's of Wahpepah's this season, for whatever that's worth.
  13. Josh Wahpepah has the best name of any Brewer draftee in recent memory, and is a RHP from an Arkansas community college.
  14. Yovani Gallardo is a high school righty from a Texas high school.
  15. I saw 108 a few seconds ago. 51 members, 57 guests.
  16. Why are they taking Davis out anyway? He's not pitching that badly, and he's only at 56 pitches. Why burn the bullpen for a few extra innings to get one at-bat of Trent Durrington?
  17. It's funny because the subject line is still "Re: Good Start".
  18. How the heck do you hit a homer to centerfield at Petco? Like that. I have to leave for work in a few minutes, and I'll be completely shocked if the Brewers win this one. Not enough offense right now to come back.
  19. How was the first bunt misplayed? Maybe "mispositioned" would be a better word.
  20. Bunt single given up to a pitcher with two strikes on him? That's inexcusable. And then look what it leads to... Edit: Perhaps we should just put a player on bunt duty.
  21. Karma police, arrest this team... Do any of them have Hitler hair-dos, and if so, do they make you feel ill?
  22. Adams is up in the pen... yay. Anyone else think that Clark for Magruder flip-flop should be in the offing? I'm not saying Mags is that much better, but Clark is scuffling really bad right now, and could use a little kick in the butt.
  23. Anyone else have a bad feeling about this next six game swing? This has the potential to go very, very badly. Hopefully the Crew will prove my intuition wrong.
  24. I know the local area scout for the D backs as he has some intrest in Danas brother for next years draft so maybe I will meet him. Yah, but are the Brewers interested in him? We could use another Dana. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
  25. Won't Harper be Martin's roster replacement?
