Final: Biloxi 5, Birmingham 1 Miley Dominates In Shuckers Win Looking to get back to the Majors, Wade Miley strikes out 11 in 6.0 innings By Garrett Greene / Biloxi Shuckers (Photo: Michael Krebs) Biloxi Box Score Wade Miley had a brilliant game in his latest rehab start, striking out 11 in six innings. He only allowed two hits and walked no one while getting the win. Boone Logan, also on a rehab assignment, pitched a scoreless inning. At the plate, Corey Ray, Clint Coulter and Wendell Rijo each had a pair of hits to lead the Shuckers.

Regarding WR, I was wondering about Iowa State WR Allen Lazard. Big guy - 6'5" - almost looks like a tight end. Definitely not a burner - but a possession guy. Should be there for us in the 4th round - maybe even lower. You never know about guys like him.

I don't really know anything about Burks. Anyone have any info on him? I watched some video. He's not that big -- so he looks really quick and athletic. We will see how that translates to the pros. Edit: Interesting, i just read some stuff about Burks on JSonline - and they said he used to be a strong safety - and it shows. He just doesn't have the bigness you'd expect in linebacker. Doesn't mean he's bad - just not that big of a guy.

Brewers now have 23 errors in 27 games - second most in baseball (one behind the Yankees).

Sogard at SS isn't a particularly good thing. It's pretty frustrating that he's on pace to play 138 games and get 300 ABs.

I believe Roger Dorn is the 3B answer.

Well, some interesting guys available for tomorrow. Here are some of my favorites: Will Hernandez, James Daniel and Austin Corbett - interior offensive linemen - really good players, good value - can start right away. Harold Landry - OLB - Would be great value - and really fill a need. Dallas Goedert - TE - Probably don't need, but I like the guy and think he'll be good. Justin Reid - S - Good, smart player who could come in and contribute right away. Josh Jackson - CB - Not that much of a need anymore, but would be great value at the pick. Christian Kirk - WR - I don't know that the much about the wideouts - but I like Kirk. However, he's more of a slot guy. But there are several highly ranked ones still there. I'm sure there are other guys -- I've just named some that I've taken note of.

Final: Birmingham 7, Biloxi 3 Biloxi Falls To Barons in Series Opener Crooked Numbers in 5th, 7th the difference in Oveture By Garrett Greene / Biloxi Shuckers (Photo: Michael Krebs) Biloxi Box Score Ugly game for the Shuckers tonight. Biloxi committed three errors - leading to three unearned runs - in a 7-3 lose to Birmingham. Angel Ventura surrendered three home runs in three innings. Birmingham was worse in the field, committing four errors - but they managed to limit the damage as Shucker bats were quiet, managing only five hits and a pair of walks. Batting Clint Coulter: 2-3 Dylan Moore: 1-3, 2B Pitching Brad Kuntz: 3.0 IP, 4 hits, 1 ER, 1BB, 4K Angel Ventura: 3.0 IP, 6 hits, 3 ER, 1BB, 3K, Lose Quintin Torres-Costa: 2.0 IP, 0 hits, 0 ER, 2B, 2K Notes Quintin Torres-Costa has not given up a run this year in 11.2 innings of work.

I was hoping one of Tremaine Edmunds, Roquan Smith, Minkah Fitzpatrick, Denzel Ward or Derwin James would drop to Green Bay. I think it played out pretty amazing - we had two of those guys available. And then the trade(s) happened. I'm okay with Jaire Alexander, however, if the Packers moved back thinking they could still get Edmunds or James at #18 - then they got too cute. Ultimately, if they club really wanted Alexander - then we did great. They are saying he was the guy they wanted all along - and if that's true - then great. Adding the extra #1 next year is sweet.

Well done, Taylor. Good win.

You got your wish! Now he has to throw strikes.

I'd love it if Counsel gave Williams the chance to pitch. He hasn't been out there in five days.

That's tough. Eric had been doing well. The Brewers had really limited his exposure to lefties - and he was a great power source. Oh well, that's why we like to have depth.

Here's some others: 1979 Lezcano: 6.3 Thomas: 4.8 Oglivie: 3.0 1980 Lezcano: 1.4 Thomas: 3.0 Oglivie: 6.5 1993 Greg Vaughn: 6.7 Darryl Hamilton: 3.6 Robin Yount: 2.1 2011 Braun: 7.7 Hart: 3.2 Morgan: 3.0 Gomez: 2.3 2012 Braun: 6.9 Aoki: 3.3 Gomez: 3.2

I just looked. Using bWAR: Hisle: 5.3 WAR Oglivie: 4.2 Lezcano: 4.0 Thomas: 3.3

1978 - Larry Hisle, Sixto Lezcano, Ben Oglivie and Gorman Thomas. That's my guess. Those four mixed in the DH - pretty much making them all full timers.

One thing about Lowrie -- look at what Neil Walker got in trade, and I'm betting it is similar - with Lowrie worth a little more. Both are solid infielders with decent bats. Walker (at the time of the trade) was making a lot more money, but he has a very consistent track record. Lowrie is a couple of years older, an erratic track record, and more versatile. I say that Lowrie is worth a little more because his contract. Walker was making $17M or something like that. Lowrie makes $6M. You're not taking on as much salary with Lowrie. Another comparable might be Eduardo Núñez. He was hitting .300+ last year when he was dealt to the Red Sox for a couple of low lever minor leaguers. Nunez was making only $4M last year. All these guys were in their free agent years. So, if Lowrie starts to hit more like regular Jed Lowrie - I don't expect him to fetch a ton. It certainly won't be a complete throwaway, but nothing huge. Now, all this goes out the window if Lowrie keeps hitting like Mike Trout. He's already got six HRs. He's generally been more of a 10-15 HR guy - at most. But if he's hitting .330 with 15 HR at the break - he's a much different player than Walker or Nunez.

With the Brewers drafting so late, I'm wondering if a Community Mock Draft is feasible. Any thoughts?

Still can't believe the Orioles gave Chris Davis that huge contract. They still owe the something like $110M. Brutal.

Dubon took his first walk of the year. Yay!
