Link while active, text follows: www.dailymail.com/news/Sp...005040731/ West Virginia Power staff plans to treat pitchers with kid gloves Matt Lockhart Charleston Daily Mail Sportswriter Be patient. Be understanding. If there's one message from the West Virginia Power manager's staff, it is this. "We have young pitchers," said John Curtis, the Power pitching coach. "They will be restricted." The Milwaukee Brewers' low Class A team is treating the hurlers as youngsters. "We're going to piggyback them," Curtis said. All jokes aside -- piggybacking the pitchers is exactly what the Power will do. Since eight of the 12 pitchers are considered starters, Curtis' rotation will rely on an 80-pitch outing from its starter, followed by a 40-pitch limit from his planned replacement. So, if 19-year-old, first-round pick Mark Rogers is throwing a no-hitter going into the middle part of the tonight's season opener at Hagerstown, don't be surprised to see 20-year-old pitcher Josh Wahpepah abruptly come in. It's all part of the plan, as the Power piggybacks "starters" at the Nos. 1, 3 and 5 spots in the rotation. The second time through the rotation, for example, Wahpepah gets the start, with Rogers following. "As special as these kids are, it's going to be hard for the fans sometimes to understand how we are using them," said Curtis, who pitched 15 years in the Majors. "We are asking the fans to understand that these kids are very young in terms of their pitching development. The last thing we want to do is overuse them now." That also means the Power's four relief pitchers will be getting plenty of work. "They are going to have to carry us," Curtis said. "My main concern is that the kids ease into the season without expectations that make it to where they are trying too hard. They all have the ability." As work continued for the April 14 opener at the $23 million Appalachian Power Park, players got their first glimpse of the fresh sod Tuesday. "It is real nice," said second baseman Hernan Iribarren. "I want to play right now. It is awesome." Some Charleston residents already have embraced several Power players. "Everybody here in town -- as far as I've collected -- are ready for us to be here," pitcher Josh Wahpepah said. "It's a good feeling to know everyone is supporting you." While players admired their new home, media members stared at Power Manager Ramon Aviles' flashy 1980 Philadelphia Phillies' World Series ring. Aviles is equally excited about the 2005 South Atlantic League season. "We have people who can run and people who can hit the ball out of the park," said Aviles, who played in the Majors for four years. "So we can manufacture runs or we can wait for the 3-run homer too." At the top of Aviles' offensive plans is Iribarren, a second baseman and leadoff hitter who batted .439 in the Arizona Rookie League last year. The rest of his batting order goes Alcides Escobar (second base), Josh Murray (third base), Grant Richardson (first base), Carlos Corporan (catcher), Freddy Parejo (right field), either William Lewis or Adam Mannon (designated hitter), Dallas Bates (left field) and Jason Tuttle (CF). Seven of the 25 Power players weren't born in the United States, but they've adapted to the English language well. The Brewers, like most Major League organizations, have English classes set up for players in spring training and in the host cities like Charleston. "Parejo and Escobar have a little problem speaking English," said Aviles, who grew up in Puerto Rico. "One thing I am planning is when we are on road trips, I am going to bring those guys to my room and go over baseball expressions." Players need to know baseball lingo in English if they are to excel on the field, Aviles said. "It's very important because when you are on the field, you have to communicate," he said. "If you don't know the language and you can't communicate, it is going to be a little tough for you to succeed in the game." None of the 38 minor leaguers suspended 15 or more games for steroid usage were from the Brewers' system. The 1,000 tests issued during spring training were given at random, which pitcher Mark Rogers said is a good thing. "You are either clean or not," Rogers said. "There is no way around it. We were definitely aware there was going to be testing. With random testing it is going to catch the right people and it should. We are just a good group of guys."

Link while active, text follows: www.dailymail.com/news/Sp...005040730/ No. 1 pick looking forward to start Matt Lockhart Charleston Daily Mail Sportswriter John Curtis pointed his left index finger toward a group of reporters surrounding 19-year-old Mark Rogers. That, he said, is where everybody will be looking. "The fans here in Charleston are going to see someone that one day they go, ?Yeah, I saw Mark pitch way back when,' when he is in the big leagues," said Curtis, the West Virginia Power pitching coach. Curtis knows all about the Majors -- he used that left index finger to pitch in the big leagues for 15 seasons. He also knows a little bit about the expectations Rogers is facing as the Milwaukee Brewers' No. 1 draft pick and fifth overall selection in 2004. Curtis was twice selected in the first round (Cleveland 1966 and Boston 1968). "Everybody will be looking, ?Why is this kid a number one?'" said Curtis, who made his Major League debut as a 22-year-old with the Boston Red Sox. "The other side will say, ?Oh, the bonus baby is out there.' Hits off him are going to be pretty special." That's because Rogers received a $2.2 million signing bonus when he scribbled his signature on his contract. "It's all right with me," said Rogers, who had a 0.16 earned run average and 142 strikeouts in just 56 innings last year during his senior season at Mount Ararat High School in Maine. "It's all fun for me. I play baseball for the love of the game. My draft status was great, but that is behind me now." What Rogers has in front of him now is a quest to the big leagues, which includes the season-opening start in tonight's 6:35 West Virginia Power opener at Hagerstown's venerable (1931) Municipal Stadium. "It's a pretty good honor -- brand new team, brand new (Appalachian Power) park," Rogers said. "Unfortunately it's on the road to start. I was anxious when they told me I was getting the nod on the first day. I have to be ready to go." Rogers and roommate Grant Richardson, a first baseman, are fresh off a 28-hour road trip from spring training in Phoenix to Charleston. The 19-year-old struggled at times in his nine games last summer with the Brewers' Arizona Rookie League team, collecting a 4.73 ERA in 26.2 innings. The biggest adjustment wasn't the level of competition, though, Rogers said. "It was learning the lifestyle and how to conduct yourself as a professional athlete," he said. "It's not just a sport anymore, it's a job. You have to conduct yourself in a professional manner at all times." Being one of the top minor league prospects pick adds to that. "There is no question that the expectation level is high when you are a No. 1 draft pick like he was," said Curtis of Rogers, who is ranked the No. 55 prospect in the minors by Baseball America. "This is a kid whose maturity (passes) his years. "He is a young man, but mentally he is put together pretty darn well. I think emotionally he is going to be able to handle this." If anyone would know about the life of a No. 1 pick, it's Curtis. "I met him at spring training for the first time and he has already helped me out a ton," Rogers said. "Coming from a pitcher's standpoint, you're always up for more information."

Link while active, text follows: www.wvgazette.com/section...2005040644 Low finish, high picks Brewers should stock Power with solid roster By Mike Whiteford Charleston Gazette Staff writer A new ballpark, a new nickname and a new color scheme are not the only areas of newness to be unveiled in this baseball season. Beginning with tonight?s 6:35 season opener at Hagerstown, the green-and-gold-clad West Virginia Power will debut as an affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers. When the Alley Cats, as they were then known, ended a four-year association with the Toronto Blue Jays in September and signed a two-year contract with the Brewers, it was a move that prompted head scratching. As a perennial bottom-feeder in the NL Central, the Brewers are hardly an organization that inspires confidence or interest in Appalachia, especially in light of other options available to the Charleston franchise. The team might have pursued an affiliation with the Red Sox, Mets, Yankees and Cardinals, all of which needed homes for their Class A clubs, but preferred the Milwaukee organization. Among other things, the Brewers? farm system ranked No. 1 in baseball, according to a Baseball America survey, and the organization?s National League presence added to its appeal. Whether the local ownership group made the right decision will be determined by the talent the Brewers send to Charleston this year and next. ?The Brewers have a commitment to developing talent that?s second to none,?? Power general manager Andy Milovich said at the time. ?We thought it was a great fit for the fans of Charleston.?? Because of the Brewers? poor won-lost records each year, they receive the right to choose early in the June amateur draft and, if they draft wisely, their farm system, including Charleston, will benefit. ?They?re picking some of the best players in the country,?? Power manager Ramon Aviles said Tuesday at Appalachian Power Park, ?and most other teams don?t get that chance. It?s an advantage.?? In last year?s draft, the Brewers used their No. 5 pick in the first round to select Mark Rogers, a hard-throwing right-hander who will start tonight?s opener at Hagerstown but will be limited to about 80 pitches. Scheduled to relieve Rogers tonight will be right-hander Josh Wahpepah, who was taken in the third round of last year?s draft. The heart of the Power batting order will be occupied by second baseman Hernan Iribarren, first baseman Grant Richardson and designated hitter William Lewis. Iribarren, a native of Venezuela, batted .439 with four home runs and 15 stolen bases in 46 games in the Arizona (rookie) League last year and earned a promotion to Beloit of the Class A Midwest League, where he hit .373 with one homer in 15 games. Richardson, a former three-sport athlete at Washington State University, batted .367 with five home runs in 44 games at Helena of the Pioneer (rookie) League and .223 with six home runs in 28 games with Beloit. Lewis, a 23-year-old native of Texarkana, Ark., hit .328 with five HRs in 38 games at Beloit. In addition to Iribarren, Richardson and Lewis, the Power offense should offer balance, said Aviles. ?We have speed. We have people who can steal bases,?? he said. ?We have contact hitters and can play hit-and-run. We can move guys over. And we?ve got a couple of guys who can hit the ball out of the ballpark. We have a good combination.?? POWER POINTS: The Power will play four games at Hagerstown and three at Lexington and will open Appalachian Power Park on April 14. ... All games will be broadcast on WSWW 1490-AM (no web audio) ... The Appalachian Power Park grass, which was installed three weeks ago, is still soft and will not lend itself to offense until it develops more firmness. Balls hit on the grass will not be taking lively bounces. ?In a couple of months, that will change,?? said Power hitting coach Tony Diggs, ?and we?ll have a good, firm, solid foundation in the outfield.?? ... The Power will be hard-pressed to match the success of last year?s Alley Cats, who won 17 of their first 20 games and clinched a playoff spot with a 41-29 first-half record. It was the team?s first playoff berth since 1997. ... The Alley Cats? four-year record as a Blue Jay affiliate was 253-298 for a .459 percentage.

Link while active, text follows: www.floridatoday.com/apps...70354/1002 Manatees hit field tonight with new players, colors BY SCOTT BROWN FLORIDA TODAY Buck Rogers made a surprise announcement last Saturday. At around lunchtime, he told the people on his staff to go home and not return to work until Monday. "Everybody looked at each like 'Wow,' " said Rogers, who oversees operations at Space Coast Stadium in Viera and the adjacent Carl Barger Complex. That reaction showed just how hectic this time of year is for the folks who work in baseball at both the major-league and minor-league levels. Even before the Washington Nationals left their spring-training home, the staff at Space Coast Stadium was preparing for the second season, which is actually as much their time as it is the players and coaches who will don Brevard County Manatees uniforms in 2005. That season starts tonight when the Manatees host the Daytona Cubs at 7 p.m. in the Florida State League opener for both teams. It will bring an array of promotions and giveaways designed to get fans out to the ballpark and keep them interested in the games. There are, however, a number of significant changes to the Manatees this year. First and foremost, the team is a Milwaukee Brewers' farm club for at least the next two seasons. Since the Brevard County Manatees began play in 1994, they had been affiliated with the major-league team that trained or had reached an agreement to train in Viera. But the Nationals decided to have their high Class-A minor league team play closer to Washington, D.C., in Woodbridge, Va. That led to an agreement between the Brewers and the group that owns the Barger Complex and is responsible for the lease at Space Coast Stadium. The one downside is the Manatees who advance through the minor leagues may eventually play for a big-league team (Milwaukee) that has no other tie to the area. "It would be kind of nice if the Manatees had been a farm team for the Nationals," said Melbourne resident Oak O'Hara, "but we'll still go to the games. My wife and I are big fans of the stadium." Such arrangements, like the one between the Brewers and John Henry's group, are not all that uncommon in baseball, and Rogers doesn't expect it to have any effect on the season. Henry is the former owner of the Florida Marlins, who spent spring training at Space Coast Stadium from 1994-2002. "Just because it's a Brewers team, we don't do anything different," said Rogers, who is the Nationals' director of Florida operations. "We're the Manatees and we belong to the community." The Manatees will sport a look that Rogers said is more of a reflection of the community. In a nod to Patrick Air Force Base, Kennedy Space Center and the number of retired veterans living in the area, the Manatees changed their colors to red, white and blue with some gray and gold added to the mix. As much change as the Manatees have undergone, the season still will feature its share of promotions and gimmicks. During spring training, the folks at Space Coast Stadium act as caretakers as much as anything, making sure the big-league team has what it needs to get ready for the start of the season. But with the Nationals gone, Rogers and his staff can turn their creative sides loose. "We've got a lot of good stuff brewing," Rogers said, presumably no pun intended. "Now it's the staff's time to have some fun." Some of the promotions that have been concocted include kicking field goals for buckets of fried chicken, while the dizzy bat will have a new twist this season. After participants are spun round and round they'll have to roll a beer keg to the finish line. "We're just itching to go," Rogers said.

Link while active, text follows: www.al.com/stars/huntsvil...176040.xml Barnwell: Get set for some Stars fun Infielder says team heading for entertaining year By PAUL GATTIS Huntsville Times Sports Staff pgattis@htimes.com Quick scouting report on the 2005 Huntsville Stars? They might contend for a championship in the re-aligned Southern League. But, champs or chumps, you're probably going to like them better than last year. "From a spectator's standpoint, I think they're really going to enjoy this team," said infielder Chris Barnwell, who is back for a second season with the Stars. And from pitching coach Rich Sauveur, "I think we're going to have a good season. I could be wrong, but I think we're going to have a good season." The Stars open the season tonight at Carolina and will make their 2005 debut at Joe Davis Stadium on April 15 against those same Mudcats. And according to Barnwell, it will be worth the wait. While last year's team was loaded with touted prospects headed 200 mph toward the major leagues, this year's team is a little more anonymous but owns the talent to win a championship that last year's team couldn't. Of course, that's not to say the Stars have no stars. Center fielder Tony Gwynn Jr. is back, bent on improving his .243 batting average of last season. And Nelson Cruz, acquired in a trade with the Oakland A's, hit 26 homers in the minors last year. "Nelson Cruz has some serious pop," Gwynn said. "He's probably going to be the bulk of our power." A stout starting rotation is headed by Dana Eveland, Dennis Sarfate and Manny Parra. In the bullpen, righty Alec Zumwalt - picked up in a trade with the Atlanta Braves - will get the first shot at being the closer. And just as the team will look different, so will the schedule. With Greenville relocating to Pearl, Miss., the Southern League shifted its divisions from East-West to North-South. The Stars will play in the North Division, competing against Carolina, Chattanooga, West Tenn and Tennessee. Meanwhile, familiar rivals like Birmingham, Mobile and Montgomery are in the South Division and will be less frequent visitors to Joe Davis Stadium than in years past. To Barnwell, though, this team should be more fun beyond the scoreboard. "Probably the biggest thing is just the personality of this team," he said. "We've got a lot of guys who are excited to be here, excited to be a part of Double-A here. In contrast to last year, there's going to be a little better interaction with the fans. Hopefully, that will help produce more people coming out here. "I think last year, people got sick of the lack of interaction with some of the guys that they were wanting to get to know." If you're looking for a label to slap on the Stars, it won't be easy. New manager Don Money, a former all-star with the Milwaukee Brewers, dodges stereotypes like raindrops. If the Stars have good base runners, Money will cultivate a team that steals bases. If not, the offense will find some other spark. It will be a contrast to former manager Frank Kremblas, who arrived at the stadium flashing the steal sign. "I know Frank is one that really likes to run a lot," Money said. "But you can also run yourself out of an inning, too." So what will it take to get the Stars into the playoffs? "You've got to have a combination of everything," Money said. "You can have the best pitching in the league but if you can't score any runs, some of your best pitching is going to go down the tubes. "You've got to have pitching, defense and score some runs. If we do that correctly, we'll win." Some interesting comments about last year's team by Barnwell, huh? -- Mass Haas

Link Report for Games of Thursday, April 7th
Jim Goulart replied to Jim Goulart's topic in Brewers Minor League Talk
For our newcomers, particular from Nashville, Charleston and Melbourne / Viera, we invite you to check out the "Archived Link Report" Forum, where we save about-to-expire Link Reports from extinction. You'll get a nice sense of what this aspect of Brewerfan is all about. Each daily trip around the Brewers farm system includes broadcast links, starting pitcher assignments, and then post-game (by next morning), box scores and links to online media coverage. We're waiting to see what other goodies (game logs, live gamecast screens, etc.), the new stats service of MLBAM (MLB Advanced Media) provides us in 2005. We do know that Nashville archives its audio game highlights and player & coach interviews with Sounds play-by-play announcer Chuck Valenches -- cool! We've asked the friendly folks in Huntsville for something similar, and we're crossing our fingers on that... We must remind everyone that while you're invited to add worthwhile commentary to the Link Reports, this is not a game thread, or in today's case, four game threads, as you would see on the Major League Forum. While an occasional in-game update may be made on most nights, with scores from all available sources, we do invite as many as wish to jump in on the discussion in the Brewerfan chat room for in-game chatting. With the Brewers idle Thursday, we imagine the chat room might just be jumping Thursday evening. We've received enough feedback to know how much you folks appreciate the daily Link Reports. It's a labor of love for us, and we want to thank up front all the broadcasters, print reporters, and others (like David Weiser in Huntsville) who are the real secondary stars of the reports (the players being the primary stars, of course!) Here's to an awesome, fun, entertaining, healthy and fruitful minor league season! Batter up! -
