Final: Biloxi 3, Mobile 1 Late Rally, Stellar Pitching Caps Shuckers' 40th Comeback Win of the Year Albers Fans Five in Relief Outing, Shuckers Pitchers K Season-Best 17 By Spencer Siegel / Biloxi Shuckers (Michael Krebs) Biloxi Box Score Nice performance by the Biloxi pitching staff on Thursday night, holding Mobile to four hits, and striking out 17, in a 3-1 victory.

Final: Biloxi 6, Mobile 5 Coulter's Bases-Clearing Triple Fuels Another Comeback Victory for the Shuckers Eighth Inning Error the Difference in 6-5 Win By Spencer Siegel / Biloxi Shuckers (Michael Krebs) Biloxi Box Score Down by four runs, Biloxi managed a 6-5 come-from-behind victory on Wednesday, defeating Mobile. The Shuckers only had six hits, but took advantage of five walks and four errors by the BayBears. An 8th inning error by Mobile allowed the Shuckers to score the winning run. Blake Allemand and Clint Coulter had two hits each. Coulter keyed a four-run 6th inning with a bases loaded triple.

Jim Hendry was the gift that kept on giving. So sad that Theo took over... Theo's losing his touch. He's not getting the return he thought from the Quintana deal as Eloy Jimenez is the early odds on for 2019 AL ROY and Dylan Cease has been absolutely dominating in AA. Then he spent more than double what the Brewers spent on Chacin for Tyler Chatwood who's been awful and $126 million on Darvish for what so far is one win. His drafting of David Bote in the 18th round in 2012 looks pretty good though. I said from the start that I was thrilled to Eloy Jimenez out of the Chicago. At the time, I said he was going to be a beast - and I still think that. Glad he's playing on the south side of Chicago.

Remember, the have not only traded several high ranking prospects, they've had several graduate. And another (Burnes) will graduate by month's end. Woodruff, Peralta, Taylor Williams, Burnes - that represents a big chunk of our upper level arms. Add in the trades - Ortiz, Phillips, Medeiros, Carmona - and you've had a lot of talent leave. That's three top 100 guys (Woodruff, Burnes, Peralta) and a couple of other Top 10 organizational guys (Phillips, Ortiz) and a couple of Top 20 org guys (Carmona, Medeiros). And let's not forget the Yelich deal. We lost some big prospects there. Systems will go through this kind of thing every few years. We happened to graduate a lot of guys of late - and it dings our system. The main thing is to keep adding talent through the draft, which I think we have done. Lutz has the makings of a premiere prospect. And Zack Brown made huge strides this year, similar to jumps we saw from Burnes, Woodruff and Peralta the last couple of seasons. Perhaps someone else - like Braden Webb or Adrian Houser - makes that move next year. I also think that - due to the more even playing ground teams have in this area - we'll start seeing more prospects from Latin America. Before, we were so outspent in developing players from Latin America - it was really a joke. But that's evening out, and I think we'll see some of these guys make some noise. The key is hitting on some of our top picks. We can't have multiple years of failure after failure in the draft. That's what killed this club a few years back. We just didn't develop enough good players - and we missed on a lot of our top picks.

Game 1 Final: Biloxi 4, Mobile 3 Game 2 Final: Mobile 4, Biloxi 1 Shuckers and BayBears Split Twin Bill to Open Six-Game Series Grisham Delivers Walk-Off in Game One By Spencer Siegel / Biloxi Shuckers (Michael Krebs) Biloxi Game 1 Box Score Biloxi Game 2 Box Score Split decision on Tuesday night in Biloxi. In game 1 of a double header, Trent Grisham hit a 2-run HR in the 4th, then added a game-winning double in extra innings to lead the Shuckers to a walk-off 4-3 victory over the Mobile BayBears. Braden Webb had an unremarkable AA debut in the game, giving up three runs in four innings. He was plagued by control problems, walking five on the day. In game 2, the Shuckers managed only one run on five hits and a walk. Marcos Diplan surrendered four runs in four innings of work in the 4-1 lose to the BayBears.

Final: Tennessee 5, Biloxi 0 Biloxi Shut Out in Rubber Match Jankins Turns In Quality Start For Shuckers By Garrett Greene / Biloxi Shuckers (Danny Parker) Biloxi Box Score Another lackluster day at the plate by Biloxi gets them shutout for the second consecutive game. The Shuckers managed only six hits and a walk, and went 0-6 with runners in scoring position. Blake Allemand had a pair of hits to lead the Shuckers. The Tennessee Smokies weren't much better at the plate - just six hits and three walks - but they strung their damage together to score some runs (several extra base hits, including an HR, didn't hurt their cause). On the mound, Thomas Jankins didn't have a bad day, giving up three runs in 6.1 innings of work. He gave up only three hits and three walks, but took the lose. The Shuckers have lost 10 of their last 14 games while scoring only 27 runs.

Notes from the Poll The clear, top two players were Keston Hiura and Corbin Burnes. One other player, Cam Roegner, got a #1 vote, but for the most part, it was Hiura and Burnes at the top of the poll. With all the graduations and trades, a lot of new players moved into the Top 25. It was actually pretty hard for a player to drop down - and the players that did fall significantly have generally had pretty bad seasons or been injured or both. We had 74 players named on the ballot - a reflection of all the talent that has graduated and been traded, plus a growing awareness of some of the younger players - including guys in the DSL. But on the whole, all the open spots just made it so that people had to dig deeper to fill out their ballot.

Thanks to everyone who participated in our latest Top 25 poll. Here are some stats and numbers for this poll: Gone the Top 25: Perrin (trade), Phillips (trade), Harrison, Bickford, Carmona (trade), Medeiros (trade), T. Williams (graduated), Peralta (graduated), Ortiz (trade), Woodruff (graduated) Newcomers to Top 25: Turang, Z. Brown, McClanahan, P. Henry, J. Gray, Bello, Torres-Costa, Lemons, C. Rodriguez Number of ballots: 44 Number of players on ballots: 74 Mr. Irrelevant (1 point): Jess Williams, Zack Clark, Gilbert Lara (two polls in a row!), and Alwinson Valdez Risers: Supak, Brown, Ray, Nottingham, Diplan Fallers: Bickford, Grisham, KJ Harrison, Ponce Players who may graduate from Prospectland by end of the year: Burnes, Houser Please know that all write ups are my own observations and opinions. If you see any mistakes, please let me know. Sometimes autocorrect will trick me. Or I’ll cut and paste something incorrectly. Other times I just mess something up. I will update as needed.

#1 ( - ) Keston Hiura, 2B, age 22, AA Biloxi 1,088 points (34 1st place votes) - 44 of 44 ballots I hit, therefore I am #1. Hiura has a .300 BA between A+ and AA ball. He has shown more power this year as well. He is progressing slowly but surely in the field. He can be streaky, and strikes out a little too much, but his bat will get him to the majors sooner than later. #2 ( - ) Corbin Burnes, RHP, age 23, Milwaukee Brewers 1,067 points (9 1st place votes) - 44 of 44 ballots Burnes has emerged as a force in the Brewers bullpen this year with a 2.77 ERA and 14K in 13.1 innings. The front office has said that Burnes will move back to starting in 2019, and a successful stint in the pen will set him up to be an important member of the rotation next year. Assuming Burnes continues to play well for Milwaukee, he is likely to graduate from this list by year’s end. #3 (+10) Corey Ray, OF, age 23, AA Biloxi 967 points - 44 of 44 ballots Ray’s bat has broken out in 2018 with 25 HRs and an .865 OPS this year. 62 of his 116 hits have gone for extra bases. He has also stolen 32 bases and only been caught 5 times. Ray has been streaky this year, and tends to strike out in bunches. His 28.5% strikeout rate and .257 BA show Ray still has holes in his game, but he is an excellent athlete with a good work ethic. His 10 spot jump was one of the highest in this year’s poll. #4 (+2) Tristen Lutz, OF, age 19, A- Wisconsin 904 points - 44 of 44 ballots Lutz started the season poorly, but has a .822 OPS in the 2nd half. A big young man, Lutz takes his walk and hits the ball hard. Overall, his numbers are middling (.742 OPS, 12 HR), but he has shown improvement throughout his first full season of pro ball, flashing exceptional power potential. #5 (new) Brice Turang, SS, age 18, Helena 891 points - 43 of 44 ballots The Brewers top pick in the 2018 draft has come out hitting. Between Arizona and Helena, Turang has hit .346 with stolen nine bases. He is also walking at a nice rate (16+%). Not a big guy, Turang projects at this time to hit for average, but there is some skepticism as to how much power he will develop on his wiry frame. He has been erratic in the field with nine errors in just 21 games at shortstop. #6 (new) Zack Brown, RHP, age 23, AA Biloxi 861 points - 44 of 44 ballots Brown leapt into the top echelons of the BF.net Top 25 with an outstanding season, producing a 9-0 record, a 2.34 ERA, 108 strikeouts and 32 walks in 111.2 innings. Those are some sweet numbers. A right hander, Brown was an up-and-down performer in college, but started to show more consistency and results as a pro. An intense performer, Brown sports a three-pitch arsenal, but lacks an exceptional ‘out’ pitch. Unfortunately, Brown’s breakout season was interrupted by an ankle injury on July 23 and he has yet to return. #7 (+1) Lucas Erceg, 3B, age 23, AA Biloxi 845 points - 44 of 44 ballots Erceg struggled early but has an .839 OPS in the 2nd half of the season. A left-handed hitter, Erceg’s numbers only hint at this raw power, which the Brewers hope will emerge in time. Going forward, Erceg needs to be a little more selective at the plate, and improve in the field. He has a strong arm, but he already has 22 errors this year at 3B. #8 (+3) Mauricio Dubon, 2B/SS, age 24, AAA Colorado Springs 749 points - 42 of 44 ballots Fate was cruel to Mauricio Dubon this year. The young infielder was off to great year (.343 BA), but everything came to an end when he tore his ACL - ending his season. If Dubon had stayed healthy - and kept hitting - he probably would have replaced Orlando Arcia in Milwaukee. Tough luck. Dubon needs to come back healthy and ready to compete in 2019. A fine fielder, he has not hit for a lot of power in the past, so there are some questions as to his upside as a hitter. #9 (+8) Jacob Nottingham, C, age 23, AAA Colorado Springs 702 points - 44 of 44 ballots After improving behind the plate over the last few years, Nottingham emerged as an offensive force in 2019 (albeit at hitter-friendly Colorado Springs) with 10 HRs and an .889 OPS. He even had a short stint in Milwaukee. Unfortunately, Nottingham has been on the DL a couple of times this year, limiting him to just 56 games played. The looming question is if Nottingham’s offense this year was strictly a product of the thin Colorado air - or if he has truly made big strides as a hitter. #10 (+14) Trey Supak, RHP, age 22, AA Biloxi 577 points - 43 of 44 ballots Big right hander has quietly put together a solid season between A+ and AA - and making a big jump in our prospect poll. Supak has produced a 2.75 ERA while striking out 108 batters in 114.2 innings of work. While he has been inconsistent at times, he has emerged as a viable starter for the organization. #11 (+5) Troy Stokes, Jr., OF, age 22, AA Biloxi 527 points - 41 of 44 ballots Stokes continues to do what he does. He hits about .250, has some pop, takes his walks, and steals some bases. Stokes has his warts - including a mediocre hit tool, a weak arm and a rising strikeout rate (28% this year). The young man does a lot of things right, and he should continue to step up the organization ladder. #12 (+8) Marcos Diplan, RHP, age 21, AA Biloxi 521 points - 41 of 44 ballots After four years in the Brewer system, Diplan hasn’t changed much. He throws some heat, strikes out a lot of guys, but lacks command. This year, he has walked 62 batters in 100.1 innings, while striking out 99. His ERA is a respectable 3.86, but a WHIP of 1.62 isn’t good. For Diplan, it’s about finding consistency. He can be brilliant one day, then terrible the next. #13 (+1) Adrian Houser, RHP, age 25, AAA Colorado Springs 460 points - 38 of 44 ballots Hard-throwing right-hander has had mixed results after missing most of last year due to Tommy John surgery. Houser sports a plus fastball and curve, and has shown the ability to miss bats, but has been hittable as well in 2018. He is still rounding into form, so his middling results shouldn’t be too concerning. He has gotten some time as a reliever in Milwaukee this season after serving as a starter in the minor leagues - although the organization has limited his innings. #14 (new) Payton Henry, C, age 21, A- Wisconsin 420 points - 39 of 44 ballots Another newcomer to the Top 25. Henry has risen up the Brewer prospect ranks by displaying good power, a solid batting average and a strong arm behind the plate (he has thrown out 45% of runners trying to steal this year). The downside, however, is Henry's high strike out rate - 31.4%. Developing catchers is always a dicey affair, but Henry has shown a lot of promise in his third season. #15 ( - ) Jake Gatewood, 1B, age 22, AA Biloxi 412 points - 39 of 44 ballots Gatewood was tapping into his enormous power with 19 HRs at Biloxi, but then tore his left ACL in July and is out for the remainder of 2018. Gatewood remains an intriguing, but still developing project. His long swing causes him to strike out too often, and he is inconsistent at the plate. However, the raw power is there. Not a particularly nimble or fast young man, let us hope that Gatewood’s knee injury doesn’t limit him going forward. #16 (new) Joe Gray, OF, age 18, Arizona Rookie 405 points - 37 of 44 ballots The Brewers 2nd round pick in this year’s draft, Gray’s calling cards are power and a strong arm. Coming out of high school, there was some swing-and-miss concern about Gray, but scouts love his quick bat and strength. Early on, he has displayed a willingness to take a walk, drawing 16 free passes in his first 19 games. Expect some growing pains for Gray, but he is going to be fun to watch. #17 (new) Carlos Rodriguez, OF, age 17, DSL 306 points - 34 of 44 ballots Signed for $1.335M as a 16-year old, Rodriguez sports plus speed, good defense and a developing bat. He has hit an impressive .325 in his debut this season in the Dominican Summer League. At only 150 pound, Rodriguez will need to grow into is frame, but he has the chance to be a plus hitter. #18 (-9) Trent Grisham, OF, age 21, Biloxi AA 287 points - 30 of 44 ballots Grisham was one of the biggest droppers in our mid-season poll. The man takes his walks, but he continues to struggle with his batting average for the third year in a row. BF.net voters are growing weary of waiting for Grisham’s hitting to improve. You get the feeling that there is a plus hitter within Grisham - but the Brewers have struggled to get that player to emerge. #19 (new) Micah Bello, OF, age 18, Arizona Rookie 258 points - 35 of 44 ballots A Competitive Balance B draft pick (73rd overall) this past summer, Bello is a fast, strong-armed outfielder from Hawaii. He has started out well in Arizona, displaying a penchant for taking a walk. He should develop more pop as he gets older. #20 (new) Caden Lemons, RHP, age 19, Helena 230 points - 30 of 44 ballots The Brewers 2nd round pick in 2017, Lemons has been brought along slowly by the organization, only appearing in nine games thus far. A big (6’6”) right-hander, Lemons has a plus fastball, but will need to develop his secondary pitches. #21 (-2) Mario Feliciano, C, age 19, A+ Carolina 208 points - 28 of 44 ballots A solid 2017 at Wisconsin made Feliciano was a hot commodity this past off-season. Unfortunately, Feliciano’s season has been marred by injuries, and he has only appeared in 35 games. Still only 19, fans and the organization will have to give a mulligan to Feliciano for 2018, and look forward to his returning to form next season. #22 (new) Quintin Torres-Costa, LHP, age 23, AAA Colorado Springs 197 points - 30 of 44 ballots A 35th round pick by Milwaukee out of Hawaii in 2015, Torres-Costa has put up some huge strikeout numbers (269K in 205.2 IP in his career) as a reliever in the system. 2018 has been the left-hander's finest season, producing a 1.45 ERA and 54 strikeouts in 43.1 innings between Biloxi and Colorado Springs. At worst, Torres-Costa should get a shot as a lefty relief specialist in the Big Leagues. #23 (new) Aaron Ashby, P, age 20, A- Wisconsin 196 points - 29 of 44 ballots The Brewers 4th round pick in 2018, Ashby, a left hander, put up huge numbers playing for Crowder Junior College (156K in 74.2 IP and a 2.29 ERA). Ashby throws a good fastball and curveball, but scouts say he will need to work on his control. He is the nephew of former major leaguer Andy Ashby. #24 (-12) Cody Ponce, RHP, age 24, AA Biloxi 187 points - 29 of 44 ballots Ponce looked like he was ready to turn a corner after ending 2017 on a high note. He was healthy and on track. 2018 has, however, not gone as planned. Ponce has been inconsistent, and his 4.60 ERA is almost one and a half runs more than last season. While Ponce has the tools to be a back-of-the-rotation starter, it is possible that he is shifted to the bullpen to minimize his below average changeup and mediocre control. #25 (new) Chad McClanahan, 1B/3B, age 20, A- Wisconsin 112 points - 23 of 44 ballots After struggling his first two years as a pro, McClanahan blossomed into a middle-of-the-order bat in his second go around at Helena in 2018, hitting for power and averages (.923 OPS). Due to his superior play, McClanahan was recently promoted from Helena to Wisconsin. The rest Pablo Abreu - 86 points Je’Von Ward - 78 points Nathan Kirby - 77 points Demi Orimoloye - 65 points Cam Roegner - 55 points (also received a 1st place vote) Braden Webb - 49 points Michele Vassalotti - 49 points Larry Ernesto - 49 points Nick Ramirez - 48 points Tyrone Taylor - 40 points David Fry - 38 points Leugim Castillo - 38 points Phil Bickford - 26 points Bubba Derby - 18 points Dallas Carroll -16 points KJ Harrison - 16 points Nate Off - 16 points Luis Aviles - 14 points Cody Beckman - 14 points Cooper Hummel - 11 points Carlos Herrera - 10 points Dylan Moore - 10 points Jake Hager - 9 points Yeison Coca - 8 points Weston Wilson - 7 points Aaron Wilkerson - 7 points Drew Rasmussen - 7 points Max Lazar - 6 points Branlyn Jaraba - 6 points Eduarqui Fernandez - 6 points Andres Melendez - 5 points Edwin Sano - 5 points Wade Beasley - 4 points Devin Williams - 4 points Joantel Segovia - 4 points Jesus Chirinos - 4 points Dantel Ramirez - 2 points Wildred Salaman - 2 points Blake Lillis - 2 points Justin Jarvis - 2 points Clayton Andrews - 2 points Jolon Lun - 2 points Christian Taugner - 2 points Jorge Ortega - 2 points Jon Olczak - 2 points Jess Williams - 1 point Zach Clark - 1 point Gilbert Lara - 1 point Alwinson Valdez - 1 point All ages and statistics quoted are as of August 12, 2018.

No matter what you think of Hernan Perez, his consistency over the last three years is pretty amazing. 2016: .272 BA, .302 OBP, .428 SLG, .730 OPS 2017: .259 BA, .289 OBP, .414 SLG, .703 OPS 2018: .261 BA, .298 OBP, .423 SLG, .721 OPS While that's nothing special, his ability to play all over the field is nice. He's a good baserunner and a solid defender. He's not going to get 400+ ABs like he has gotten the past two seasons, but that's a good thing. He just doesn't get on base enough to justify playing full time. But he has carved a niche as a decent utility player. At age 27, Perez could still improve, but I'm guessing he is what he is.

Really sad, sad, pathetic lose. I agree that the 'Knebel is our closer' thing has got to stop. This is a brutal lose - I think the worse of the season.

I'm not that old school. And really my only issue is I'm pissed but everyone loves to pounce on negative emotion, which isn't allowed around here. Half the IGTs are nothing but negative emotions.

While I am thrilled that Arcia has done well for a bit, I'm not going to get overly optimistic. Just like Schoop, 30-40 ABs shouldn't sway us too much. Is it encouraging? Sure. To me, the good thing is that a people have pointed out he's looking better at the plate. If he was doing the exact same stuff - but getting better results - I'd be skeptical that luck was the primary factor involved in that. But it's great to hear people say he's improved his approach.

Thanks to everyone for playing. Voting is now done. Watch for results in the next week or so.

Final: Tennessee 6, Biloxi 1 Smokies Scatter Shuckers Hits in 6-1 Win Smokies Scatter Shuckers Hits in 6-1 Win By Garrett Greene / Biloxi Shuckers (Michael Krebs) Biloxi Box Score The Tennessee Smokies shut down Biloxi bats on Wednesday while Marcos Diplan was roughed up on the mound. It resulted in a 6-1 lose. Diplan gave up seven hits (including two HRs), three walks and six runs in 4.1 innings. Biloxi's offense was tepid, managing seven hits and a walk. And outside of a Corey Ray HR, the team scattered their baserunners throughout the game (after Ray's leadoff HR, the team never had more than one hit or walk in an inning, and they never got a batter beyond 1st base). Trent Grisham and Clint Coulter each had a pair of singles on the day. Batting Corey Ray: 1-4, HR Trent Grisham: 2-4 Tyler Heineman: 1-3, BB Clint Coulter: 2-4 Pitching Marcos Diplan: 4.1 IP, 7 hits, 6 ER, 3BB, 3K, Lose Miguel Sanchez: 3.2 IP, 0 hits, 0 ER, 2BB, 6K Notes Ray leads the Southern League in HRs with 24.

Five of the previous Top 25 were traded, and three graduated. That made for a lot of open spots.

You're good. I go back and can see the dates people edited their lists. If I've tallied up a list already, and I see the edit date is after I did that, I re-check it. So all good. The original post is good. But thanks for letting me know.
