    MassBrew or others, I am going to be driving through Beloit on Sunday and am thinking about stopping in for a game. Can I assume that they are running a 5-man rotation and Pena will be on the mound come Sunday?

    Weaver 10-0 1.13 Townsend 7-0 1.60 Humber 7-1 1.61 Niemann 5-2 2.68 Verlander 4-3 3.00 Sowers 6-1 3.07

    What is up with Justin Maxwell? I don't think he has played at all this spring.
  4. cressj
    I agree. I think there will be four college pitchers off the board before the Brewers pick and the Brewers will have a choice between 2 of the top 6.

    Colby, Is Ric Wilson Anaheim's Larry Doughty then or was it a parallel (sp?) move? It is interesting to note that Wilson, Allison, and Heck have all been in the same position since '99. That definitely helps a team when it comes to drafting.

    It was definitely a dominant night for the top pitching prospects on Friday. Weaver notched his 100th K of the year in under 57 innings. Sowers and Niemann both dropped their era's under 3. It will be interesting to see if Verlander, Humber, and Townsend can do the same later this weekend. Weaver 9-0 0.84 56.2 IP, 9 BB, 100 K Niemann 5-2 2.63 51.1 IP, 16 BB, 57 K Sowers 5-1 2.81 48 IP, 5 BB, 51 K I wish Sowers would have been scheduled to pitch today (Sat.) as I believe the Vandy game is on FSN.

    Both Gold and Sheets were projected to go 6-7 slots higher than they did.

    No. 11, Milwaukee: Dave Krynzel, OF, Green Valley HS, Henderson, Nev. Of note: This is the first player that seems truly out of place in the first half of the first round. Most teams did not rank him this highly. Strengths: Fastest player in the draft is also a top-notch defensive outfielder. Line-drive bat. Played well late in the year after a poor start. Weaknesses: His swing is inconsistent, and there are questions as to how well he will do against pro pitching. Obviously losing a 2nd rounder for Hernandez was not a smart move for a team trying to rebuild. Artman, the 3rd rounder, was considered a great selection at that point in the draft.

    It seemed like Milwaukee targeted Peterson early in the 1997 draft. The other name that you heard a lot was SS Jason Dellaero.

    Many people felt that the A. Williamson pick in 1994 was Sal's pick, being that he was a former ASU third baseman. The name that I heard back then that they should have picked was Todd Walker.

    The great thing about the 2004 amateur draft is you are not likely to "reach" for a pitcher at the top of the draft. With Weaver, Verlander, Niemann, Townsend, Sowers, and Humber available; there is going to be little reaching. On the flipside, any hitter may be a reach at #5. The question may come down to a college pitcher or a high schooler like Adenhart.
  13. cressj
    I agree with Colby that the change occurred in 98. Peterson was the main name mentioned ahead of time in 97 and Green was a price thing. In all honesty, the selection of Krynzel was somewhat similar to Green except it was not as much of a reach. Many did not have Krynzel as high as the Brewers' selection.

    Colby, As of December, Wilson was listed as the Brewers' National Scouting Coordinator on a website for an Arizona camp. I can't imagine that the team would not have a crosschecker assigned to the west coast.
  15. cressj
    Do you think that it is just a mistake since there is not a west coast crosschecker listed? Also, what do you know about Jeff Cornell? I believe Poloni is known for scouting pitching prospects including finding Tim Hudson.
  16. cressj
    Is Ric Wilson no longer with the team?

    1. SD - Jered Weaver 2. Det. - Justin Verlander 3. NYM - Wade Townsend 4. TB - Nick Adenhart 5. Mil. - Jeremy Sowers 6. Cle. - Jeff Niemann 7. Cinc. - Jeff Larish 8. Balt. - Stephen Drew 9. Col. - Phillip Humber 10. Tex. - Micah Owings The Tigers, Brewers, and Devil Rays are the most likely to draft high schoolers IMO.

    The one that got away is batting .282 with 3 homers in 39 at bats for the Cal Bears.
  19. cressj
    I would say that Cannon is by far the #1 prospect of the bunch. You would guess that Rivera would sign without much leverage. It will be interesting what the other 13 do. The great thing is that as of right now, the team has only lost 9 of 40 and 1 of the top 20.
  20. cressj
    Where did Rivera end up going to school? Also, any word on Theodorakos? I believe Baylor has played 8 games and Jared has not pitched in any of them.
  21. cressj
    Am I correct that O. Palmeiro signed with Houston? Is there then a comp. pick involved?
  22. cressj
    If you remember from a posting of mine awhile ago, Bowles was one of 13 players that a BA writer told me was worth signing.
  23. cressj
    Rough game for Nelson with an error, a caught stealing, and two strikeouts. At least his average is rising.
  24. cressj
    Even with the current roster, I am looking forward to spring training. Why? I am interested to see if players like Weeks, Hardy, Martinez, Krynzel, Hendrickson, etc. get a "real" shot to make the club.

    Colby - has compensation changes at all or are we still under the old system?
