    Links Rotoworld has the Buster Olney twitter Love ya, Craig, but the Brewers can't possibly extend a multi-year for you, could they? They shouldn't.

    Jonathan Lucroy walked twice and threw out the only attempted base stealer in the Javelina's 4-2 loss. Rob Wooten worked around three base hits in two scoreless innings as his fine AFL season continues. Mesa Top 5th Pitcher Change: Robert Wooten replaces Jacob Rasner. Josh Vitters grounds out, shortstop Cale Iorg to first baseman Russ Mitchell. P. J. Phillips singles on a sharp ground ball to center fielder Jordan Danks. Luis Exposito pops out to third baseman Brent Morel. Ryan Mount singles on a sharp ground ball to second baseman Carlos Triunfel, deflected by first baseman Russ Mitchell. P. J. Phillips to 2nd. Greg Burns called out on strikes. Mesa Top 6th Rene Tosoni singles on a soft fly ball to left fielder Dustin Ackley. Starlin Castro grounds into double play, pitcher Robert Wooten to shortstop Cale Iorg to first baseman Russ Mitchell. Rene Tosoni out at 2nd. David Cooper called out on strikes.

    What the heck has Brewer done that would make you question his intelligence so blatantly? Do you want a mulligan on that? If so, explain or apologize. Certainly something was invading your keyboard when you typed that.

    Rydogg, I don't think you can either / or like that. You say Brent "is" contemplating in your statement above, and while it seems pretty clear he may have been contemplating at one time, he no longer is. Josh has made that part clear, that he has spoken with Brent since all this was published and discussed at length with him and his family what his plans are. That conversation was very recent, since the publish date was only Wednesday the 11th. I echo colbyjack's sentiments. There's a big difference between the story not being true, or a rumor, than it being something that was considered by Brewer but has since been dropped. Are we just supposed to fall in line and take you for your word with no questions asked? That's not exactly fair to our intelligence. And just because we have questions doesn't mean we're questioning your credibility. We're curious, this is a message board, and questions ensue until the curiosity is satisfied. It's nothing personal. When Josh said this wasn't true at all, it seemed like he was implying that the quotes weren't Brent's at all. It would really be something if the guy from scout.com randomly picked some minor league ballplayer out of mid-air just for the fun of it, attributed quotes to him that were completely made up, forged a past, current, and tentative future schedule of visits, and just ran with it out of the vivid imagination of his mind. If that's what we're supposed to believe, I'm not even sure how to respond to that.

    How do you break open a scoreless game in the 6th? Bring in Mark Rogers... Surprise Top 6th Pitcher Change: Mark Rogers replaces Eric Krebs. Jarrod Dyson singles on a sharp ground ball to third baseman Brent Morel, deflected by pitcher Mark Rogers. Injury Delay. Daniel Descalso flies out to center fielder Jordan Danks. With Brandon Laird batting, Jarrod Dyson steals (2) 2nd base. Brandon Laird doubles (7) on a line drive to left fielder Dustin Ackley. Jarrod Dyson scores. Mitch Moreland singles on a pop up to shortstop Cale Iorg. Brandon Laird scores. Taylor Teagarden strikes out swinging. Colin Curtis triples (2) on a fly ball to center fielder Jordan Danks. Mitch Moreland scores. Nick Evans pops out to second baseman Carlos Triunfel in foul territory. Mark's ERA is at 15.19. He did hit 95 a couple of times, including a strikeout pitch to Taylor Teagarden. Still rooting big time for you, kid, and if you can walk away from these AFL efforts with a good feeling into next spring, you're a strong young man. Because it's been harsh...

    Cape Cod Baseball League Hall of Fame welcomes 10 more Bill Schroeder, Hyannis - A slugging catcher, he led Clemson to the 1978 ACC championship and continued his heavy hitting as he sparked the Hyannis Mets to a dominating 31-11 CCBL season. His 15 home runs set single-season records that still stand for the most ever by a Met and most by a Cape League catcher. He was the seventh player to lead the league in two Triple Crown categories - home runs (15) and RBI (38) - and received three post-season honors - All-League catcher, Outstanding Pro Prospect and Most Valuable Player. He was voted the first-team catcher on the CCBL 1970s All-Decade Team. He played eight MLB seasons, the first six with Milwaukee, which drafted him in the eighth round in 1979, and has been an analyst on Brewers telecasts since 1995. Greg Vaughn, too, but more importantly, go Bill! Have fun on the Cape this weekend -- going to be rainy, sorry...

    The thing about Scout.com content, although it is by subscription, it's normally very easy to google free online versions of their articles. That's scout.com's issue, not mine, they should do a better job of encryption. So while I'm not going to copy and paste, this online page should allow everyone to read Brent's numerous quotes on the topic, at least while it's available for a few days. So he's not planning on going to South Carolina, Kentucky and Florida State on additional trips? And back on Sept. 26th, he didn't visit the University of New Mexico? The Lobos could use his help, as they are 0-9. That would be easy enough to verify. We've never read or heard anything negative about Brent in terms of work ethic or off-the-field stuff, so we simply believe he's a hard-working kid with tremendous athletic ability, which unfortunately hasn't translated to baseball production expected of a bonus baby 2nd round pick. This isn't an attack on Brent, although Brewer fans probably expect 100% commitmtment to the organization from the team's top picks. (Of course, on a side note, there are probably many players in the organization who moan about the Brewers' commitment to them, two-way street and all.) Just don't know how you can say "isn't true at all" or blog that the rumor is bogus. Is it not true at all now, that you know about it? The quotes are made up by the author? You're consistently right about one thing, though, being an agent can't be easy sometimes.

    Rough day at the plate for Cain and Lucroy (Jonathan walked once), Zach Braddock goes --- ground out - walk - fly out, then had Lucroy gun down the runner to end the inning. Zach threw 15 pitches, all but one a fastball in the non-save situation (8-6 Javelinas loss). 92-94 MPH, hit 95 once. Anybody else starting to think he could be the Brewers' lefty version of Papelbon, closing for three years starting in '11 on short money before the arby years?

    Well, Brent Brewer, who spurned Florida State's offer to play wide receiver for the Brewers' $600,000 of second-round money in 2006, may have tired of posting these stat lines in four seasons in the Brewer system. The Scout.com link below is subscriber only, but we'll try and get you more info from it before the day is out. Recruiting: Could OSU Hit Another Home Run? Oklahoma State has enjoyed the luxury of having a scholarship-caliber quarterback that doesn't count against its scholarship limit in Brandon Weeden. Now they could possibly get another offensive player that wouldn't count against the scholarship limit. Brent Brewer, a Tyrone, Ga. native, is scheduled to visit Oklahoma State on an official visit this weekend for the home game with Texas Tech. Brewer wouldn't be missed, at least by yours truly, who had pulled him from the P50 early this past season in my individual rankings. But do the Brewers know about this, won't it be awkward if he's back in Maryvale in the spring, and well, and can the Brewers get about $250,000 of that signing bonus back?

    First bump of this thread for the 2009 California-based season now on Lifetime, with the two-part Fashion Week finale beginning tonight, the 12th -- Season flew by, I've avoided any web searches on spoilers for how Fashion Week went for the three finalists, so please don't expand on that here. Irina, Carol Hannah, and Althea -- the one bummer about this season is that is was apparent after about eight weeks that these three young ladies, all so talented at 26 and under, were going to be in the finals from the original 16. Go Carol Hannah - love her personality and modesty -- what a doll! The "Models of the Runway" follow-up show each week has been less of a guilty pleasure -- vapid. A real reminder the reason this gem is a guilty pleasure is the talent of the top participants.

    Tuesday's Game Josh Butler's rough outing included two wild pitches -- fastball at 91 MPH, as you can follow through the Gameday pitch-by-pitch link Peo Saguaros Top 1st Jose Vallejo singles on a line drive to left fielder Dustin Ackley. Chris Heisey grounds out softly, third baseman Brent Morel to first baseman Russ Mitchell. Jose Vallejo to 2nd. Yonder Alonso walks. Matt McBride flies out to right fielder Jordan Danks. Jonathan Gaston singles on a ground ball to second baseman Carlos Triunfel. Jose Vallejo scores. Yonder Alonso to 2nd. Brandon Hicks singles on a ground ball to shortstop Cale Iorg. Yonder Alonso to 3rd. Jonathan Gaston to 2nd. Coaching visit to mound. Lance Zawadzki doubles (5) on a ground ball to right fielder Jordan Danks. Yonder Alonso scores. Jonathan Gaston scores. Brandon Hicks to 3rd. Carlos Rivero grounds out, shortstop Cale Iorg to first baseman Russ Mitchell. Peo Saguaros Top 2nd Cedric Hunter walks. With Jose Vallejo batting, wild pitch by Josh Butler, Cedric Hunter to 2nd. Jose Vallejo strikes out swinging. Chris Heisey strikes out on foul tip. With Yonder Alonso batting, wild pitch by Josh Butler, Cedric Hunter to 3rd. Yonder Alonso singles on a soft fly ball to center fielder Lorenzo Cain. Cedric Hunter scores. Matt McBride grounds into a force out, shortstop Cale Iorg to second baseman Carlos Triunfel. Yonder Alonso out at 2nd. Lorenzo Cain and Jonathan Lucroy with doubles in three AB's apiece thus far, Taylor Green not really earning a lot of playing time at this point...

    Money talks (re: long-term deal), but Halladay has expressed extremely strong sentiments about going to a team that has spring training in Florida.

    Apparently Doug re-acquired Alex Sanchez. I'm OK with this deal, I'm stumped by those who so unequivocally lump Alcides Escobar in the black hole of this lineup (really, so little faith?), and I'm stunned by the notion that Doug Melvin is in the habit of "rushing" prospects, an opinion of one of the more respected posters in my mind on the board, no less. We had to go back to J.J.'s rookie year to pull up an example, what? There actually should be a bit more animosity towards a now-Twins shortstop for costing the organization so much in value. I don't know what happened to J.J. on the flight from Maryvale to Milwaukee the first week of April, but I won't miss the 2009 version of him. Otherwise, thanks for the nice run, J.J.

    Just a reminder we may get to see Mark Rogers try to break out of his AFL misery in the Rising Stars Game tonight (7:15 Central) either on MLB network or a live stream on MLB.com (hope they archive it).

    Cain stole three of the Javelina's seven bases (as battlekow noted), giving him seven SB's in ten attempts this fall season. This after going 3-for-6 in SB attempts in 60 games in the regular season. Gee, do you think his legs are feeling better?

    Nine minute mark for catcher talk on the link It's a Lucroy lovefest...

    They're underway in a night affair Friday and Jonathan Lucroy had a two-out RBI single first time up.
  24. Jim Goulart
    Lorenzo Cain reached three times in the Javelina's 8-1 loss. Omar Aguilar hasn't distinguished himself, and 2010 will be his age 25 season. With options in 2010 and 2011 remaining, he'd likely be claimed if removed off the 40-man, but you'd have to think his spot, if needed, is tenuous given his early failings at AA last season.
  25. Jim Goulart
    Lo Cain back in the leadoff spot Thursday afternoon, day off for Lucroy and Green, at least to start.
