Fun timeline from Donovan Hand's friend -- the pride of Hatton, AL on his way to Milwaukee

J.J. Cooper tweet -- N.C. State's Carlos Rodon's final line 10 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 14 Ks. Wow. Wolfpack’s Rodon adds to ACC tourney lore … but not his win total Well, he'll be a Marlin or Astro after next summer. *** The 2011 Draft History: “Rodon, a left-hander who was chosen MVP of the NCHSAA 4-A state championship series last week, was taken much later than projected, falling to the Milwaukee Brewers in the 16th round (491st overall). One of the major reasons Rodon, who was projected by most outlets as being a top-five-round selection, fell hundreds of picks later was what baseball pundits call “signability.” Rodon and his parents value the college experience and education, and MLB teams knew it would take a signing bonus in the range of supplemental round’s slotted range (about $750,000 to $800,000) to sign him away from his commitment to play at N.C. State next season. The Brewers called Rodon in the fourth round to ask if he would sign for that round’s slot money, which is estimated at about $250,000. He declined and was taken by the team 12 rounds later without a phone call beforehand. “It’s definitely a business. I’ve learned a lot about how people truly are,” Rodon said. “I got drafted a lot later than I expected, but it happens. Being drafted is pretty great, and especially on top of a state championship (last week).” Rodon struck out 135 batters this season, the most in the Triangle, with a 1.40 ERA. Over his past three seasons, he went 23-2 as a starter. During a complete-game two-hit shutout in the first game of the 4-A championship series, his fastball was clocked at 93 mph in the first inning and only trailed off to 90 mph by the seventh. *** Rodon is now a near-consensus as the top overall pick of the 2014 draft. He may become Houston's or Miami's David Price, depending on who gets the first pick two summers from now. It'll eventually be known as the worst extra $600,000 the Brewers never spent.

On Sunday, it's a Happy 23rd birthday to infielder Alfredo Rodriguez. He'll carry an eight-game hit streak into the Timber Rattlers game.

Via the Stars: On Saturday, the Stars activated C Adam Weisenburger from the disabled list. Weisenburger, 24, has been on the DL since April 30th. The Plymouth, MN native hit .355 (11-for-31) with seven runs batted in prior to his disabled list stint. In a corresponding move, C Joey Paciorek was placed on the disabled list (retroactive to 5/22). Since being transferred from Nashville (AAA) on May 2nd, Paciorek played nine games with the Stars, hitting .261 in 23 AB. The Stars roster still sits at 25 players, the Southern League maximum.

The Sounds' RHP R.J Seidel (out of LaCrosse) is in his age 25 season, but as a high school sign, he will earn minor league free agency after this season unless the Brewers add him to their 40-man roster. If nothing else, a really strong season starting games in the PCL should earn quite a bit of interest on the market, and as a 26-year-old this fall/winter, could net Seidel a contract in the $100,000 range (or more) if multiple teams show interest. So he definitely has quite a bit to pitch for.

Khris Davis, who had opened the inning with a single, also scored on the blast, which drew the Sounds within a run at 3-2 Technically, Davis was removed from the basepaths on a Dayton Buller forceout, so Buller scored the run. It would get much too confusing, but somehow stats should reveal that Davis gets the credit for the run scored.

Huntsville Pre-Game Audio -- Stars broadcaster Alex Cohen chats with OF Brock Kjeldgaard a night after he hit a pair of two-run homers against the Tennessee Smokies *** Audio highlights from the Stars 7-2 victory over the Tennessee Smokies on Saturday night at Smokies Park

Via Jeff Hem's blog -- Audio from Nashville — “Talking Infield with Bob Miscik” Here is Part 1 of a two-part chat with Brewers minor league infield coordinator Bob Miscik, who discusses what he watches for when he comes to town, the development of two guys he managed a few years ago — Josh Prince and Sean Halton — and the defensive prowess and improvement in second baseman Scooter Gennett.

Former UT outfielder Kentrail Davis 'has all the physical tools' By Adam Greene, GoVolsXtra.com SEVIERVILLE — Huntsville Stars outfielder Kentrail Davis is glad to be back in East Tennessee for the second time in his professional baseball career. While at Tennessee he was literally the face of the program, even gracing a billboard on Interstate 40. “They (UT) made my head a bobblehead with the orange Power-T eyeblack,” Davis said Friday. “When I saw it I was like ‘Oh. Wow.’” Davis, in his third season in the minors, is more focused on his own progress through the Milwaukee Brewers organization. Still, it didn’t keep him from peeking in on the Vols. “When I checked in on them I saw that they were struggling a little bit, but I haven’t been able to keep up with them at all,” Davis said. “I haven’t met the new coach (Dave Serrano), but (former Tennessee Smokies and UT pitcher) Ty’Relle (Harris) told me he’s a great guy. I haven’t even seen the new renovations up there at the baseball complex. I’d like to get up here and see a game or two, but I just haven’t had the chance.” Davis is at Smokies Park with the Stars in the middle of a five-game series against the Smokies that concludes Tuesday. Davis may just be in the second season at the Class AA level, but it was still a let-down to get the call after a terrific 2012 season and spring training performance. “There was a little disappointment within myself coming back here, but I just took it as motivation,” Davis said. “I want to be a better player so I can move on. I’ve worked to have a better approach to the game and keep a better focus. Hopefully I’ll move up this year.” According to Stars hitting coach Ken Dominguez, Davis is right on track. “He (Davis) reminds me of a left-handed Kirby Puckett,” Dominguez said. “He runs well. He plays the outfield well. He’s got some serious pop for a guy his size and he’s really strong.” Davis’ strength is obvious. At 5-foot-9, 200 pounds, he’s built more like a running back than an outfielder. Davis is using those tools to great effect, stealing 11 bases, hitting .269 and posting 20 RBIs entering Saturday night’s game. “Kentrail is an extremely talented young man,” Dominguez said. “He has all the physical tools to be a big-leaguer. What he has to go through is that learning process. It’s a different game than they play in college. Sometimes it takes a couple of years to develop the right mindset and comfort zone within themselves to excel at a high level.” For now, Davis is excelling in the Southern League and happy to be back in Tennessee even though he grew up in Mobile, Ala. “It’s always good to be back here, but my allergies go crazy every time,” Davis said. “I love this state and it’s almost like a second home to me.”

This and that: Former Brewer Carlos Corporan his cleanup for the 'Stros Friday night. Just a statement on the 'Stros, and good for Carlos. *** Was hoping for good bloodlines, but -- Marlins super-promising big-league OF Marcell Ozuna and Brewers rookie baller Ruben Ozuna apparently aren't brothers, despite both hailing from Santo Domingo in the D.R. Marcell is almost exactly nine months older, but worlds apart. Maybe they're cousins, in a Brewers Christian "not Vladimir" Guerrero kind-of-way.
