I agree that Coffey fits the mold of the diamonds in the rough that Melvin has discovered, but like TheCrew07, I was focusing more on the starters. And I can't really get bent too out of shape that they're being too conservative because Rob Wooten should have began his professional career a level or two higher. While I agree with that, two things pop to my mind: While Wooten's success has been great, there's a reason he wasn't a higher draft pick coming out of college after an impressive college career (mediocre at best stuff), and the second being, can you think of another instance in which the Brewers have been conservative? If so, is it a move that has hampered the big-league team? I'm sure development plays some part of this, but it's the acquisition of talent, and finding the right talent that is really lacking IMO. For a while the team was too fascinated in power arms that didn't know how to pitch, spending premium first-round picks on Mike Jones, Mark Rogers and Jeremy Jeffress. Amazingly Jones and Rogers could still pitch there way to the big-leagues while Jeffress of course needs to get his head on straight. However, they need to look at teams that have a strong track record of developing pitchers from within (the Giants maybe?) and see what sets them apart, starting with the initial evaluation of talent through the player development cycle. Imagine that, Melvin has been disappointed in a couple of soft tossers he acquired. Do we see a pattern here? We've also seen that you have to give up a lot more for a power, or at least gifted, arm. That's why he jumped on the chance to acquire Butler, a move everyone blasted Melvin for last season. That's why Jorge de la Rosa was a big part of the Richie Sexson trade and he has been given so many chances before finally succeeding consistently over the past month or two this year (unfortunately with the Royals). Green was let go by the Angels, and the Yankees parted with Wright for Eric Fryer, and from what I can tell, neither one of those guys were counted on anything more than to be emergency depth.

Pittsburgh can make all of the trades for prospects they want (especially since so few of the prospects they traded for are true impact players), but they're doomed to fail if they continue to pass on the top prospects in the draft when you're "lucky" enough to draft among the top three to five overall picks every year, something they have done pretty much every year with the exception of 2008 (Pedro Alvarez, and yet they didn't sign second rounder Tanner Scheppers). I also remember thinking the Pirates would be pretty good a year or two ago, and I guess I'll believe their success when I see it.

I agree with the original point 100%. People have brought up good points, as there are plenty of good arms to be excited about, but the Brewers don't have the greatest track record procuring pitchers from within, and that for me means that until they do so I will remain skeptical. Plus, this has been a common topic for the past several years, in which we all wonder where the pitching will come from yet are cautiously optimistic about the number of arms in the lower levels. Just take a peak at the top prospect lists the past several years. Using BA's, since it's the most recognizable, they had one pitching prospect in the top 10 this year (Jeffress). Two in 2008 (Parra, Jeffress). Five in 2007 (Gallardo, Inman, Jeffress, Capellan and Hammond). Five in 2006 (Rogers, Gallardo, Eveland, Capellan, Zach Jackson). Three in 2005 (Capellan, Rogers, Hendrickson). Gallardo of course appears to be the real deal, and I know a lot of people have soured on Parra, but he remains a big part of the team's future. While there's nothing to sneeze at two out of five starters being developed within, there isn't much else past that. Tim Dillard hasn't been able to stick in the few opportunities he has had, and Mitch Stetter is the only other pitcher on the team that has been originally procured by the Brewers, and there really haven't been any other candidates that are close to contributing. Another problem with the big-league team this year in relation to recent years is that Melvin hasn't hit on a Capuano, Davis, Bush, Villanueva or even a Rick Hellling or Tomo Ohka type of pitcher in quite some time, and if the team isn't developing pitchers from within, they really need to discover some diamonds in the rough elsewhere.

Thanks for giving it a try EDR. Great picture as always, thanks for sharing your handiwork.

As long as you get a good scan of the picture, blowing it up shouldn't be a problem (assuming the current picture is of good resolution). I would say have it scanned somewhere (call around, try places like Kinkos as suggested) and have it saved as a digital file (JPEG, TIFF, etc.). Does anyone at your workplace have a scanner? That may be another way to save some money. Be sure to scan at a greater resolution (300-600 dpi) at a greater file size (200% or larger the existing size). If you already have the picture saved digitally, all the better. Blow it up yourself if you can within some kind of photo editing program (you don't need Photoshop to do that), and then upload the file to Kodak, Walgreens or wherever else you would like to use (I use MPix.com) and order however many pics at the desired size. If you need help blowing it up, send me a PM. For framing, try to pick a size that you know you can get a frame for. Go to Target, Wal Mart or Michaels and see what there sizes are. They usually match large-format photograph sizes. This is if you're trying to save some money in the process without having it professionally framed, which is going to cost a few hundred bucks usually. I do it on the cheap all the time, as you can frame a poster sized photo for about $20-30 total on your own.

I'm guessing game worn in this instance just means that Nichols wore in on the field when he was in town and in the dugout one day, possibly in his work at the minor league level. Quite often the farm guys and scouts will often wear the same uniform the players do for various on-field events. So while Reid Nichols hasn't actually played for quite some time, you bought the jersey he wore on the field at some point in time, somewhere.

General Draft Discussion
colbyjack replied to colbyjack's topic in MLB Draft & International Signings
There is way too much time between now and the August 17th deadline to start worrying about who isn't signed right now. Overall, picks are slow to sign this year. -
Did anybody stick with the TV long enough to see 22-year-old LHP Brandon Ritchie? How does he carry those 240 pounds? A little Eveland-ish? Fantastic numbers, and again tonight... I definitely did. He didn't look Eveland-ish to me at all, who always looked a little on the dumpy side. Ritchie has a pretty big upper body with a barrel chest, but is well proportioned throughout. I would call him big-boned (complimentary) with a football-type build and not chubby whatsoever. He's got a pretty good FB/CB combo from a low, deception 3/4 delivery. He throws strikes, and was inducing a lot of early, weak swings, from both LH and RH hitters. Since his numbers have been so good all year long, it would be nice for him to get a bump up to BC.

True enough. Maybe it's that sitting next to Brainerd, Augustine sounds like a genius to me http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif. Peralta reminds me a lot of Coco Cordero. Lawrie is one aggressive hitter. I've noticed that the other handful of times these games have been on TV, so it's not just an observation from this game alone. At least he makes really good contact with good plate coverage, and he has a lightning quick bat, but like Braun, he is going to be a lot more lethal of a hitter when he learns to take more pitches and work the count. It's important for me to remind myself that this is still his pro debut, as he does look like a natural at the plate while putting up solid, not spectacular numbers. The announcers just noted that R.J. Seidel will be starting tomorrow night's game, taking the place in the rotation for Merklinger. It would be really nice to hear how hard he's throwing these days (hint hint http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif).
-
I agree that Peralta's upside is greater than a nice setup guy, but I wouldn't be surprised if that is where he winds up. He's somewhat of a max effort guy, really raring back to throw in the mid-90s with a really nasty breaking ball, but again there is a lot of effort to the way he pitches. He throws more like a short reliever than a starter IMO, and I think Augustine is drawing the same parallel. Sulbaran really looked good before being pulled with a blister. Former Brewers draftee LHP Andrew Bowman now in pitching for the Dragons.
-
Former Brewer Jerry Augustine is providing some pretty good insight on some mechanical issues Evan Frederickson is having that may be preventing him from throwing more strikes. Augustine is talking about how Frederickson is striding towards the third base bag, which is causing his arm to "drag." I've also been told that this can lead to throwing across one's body, which of course can lead to arm problems. Overall he has a pretty slow, deliberate delivery. It's hard not to like the size and athletic proportions, but his fastball is all over the place and he really needs to tighten his curveball (his arm slows down when throwing this pitch, and doesn't seem to fool many batters with it).
-
I meant to ask this before, but is anyone going to the Denver brew fest in late September? I've heard really good things about that one.
-
I am planning a trip at least to the Chicago area next summer, but with new child in tow brewery tours and baseball may not be a priority. Sha whaaaa?????? Boo-urns! Last summer when we went out to Denver I made sure to take my then-pregnant wife and 2-year old son to both New Belgium and Odell breweries. I'm always amazed at the places that are particularly kid friendly, even if they don't have much for a toddler to do. New Belgium more so than Odell since they had a really nice, open facility. We didn't take the tour, but I was put to task to finish both my and my wife's allotted samples http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif. And my older son Henry has seen both David Price (Vanderbilt) and Ryan Braun play in Nashville as a 1-year old, so I disagree with the baseball part as well http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif. Let us know what you think of the Mai Bock. I hope you like it!

I'll make sure to make it "the first catch of the day" before the ion canon of beer wipes me out. My opinions of midwest beer comes entirely from 8 years ago where the only non-miller or bud offerings were Summit(eww...) and Capitol(meh.). When last there (two years ago now?) I could at least get a Fat Tire and Rogue was around in bottles. Still very little small local stuff. Here I look at the list and always try something I have never had before, there you searched for anything remotely drinkable. Has it changed? Remember most of my time was spent in the Twin Cities or to a lesser extent, Iowa. Wisconsin might have been a different animal even back then. I worked in a liquor store on Milwaukee's East side from 1996-1997 and we had plenty of Rogue, Summit (even if you don't care for it), and plenty of other micros along with an impressive list of steadfast, tried and true European beers that couldn't be found just anywhere. I can't speak for Iowa and Minnesota, but I know when I worked at that liquor store I had plenty of out-of-state visitors come in to load up on bottles of micros, both in-state and out, praising Wisconsin's lack of laws preventing how much alcohol and what-sized bottles beer could be brewed in and out of. Most of those visitors were from the East Coast, but still, Wisconsin has always been known as a state that has had plenty of options, even if there aren't as many internal ones. It still surprises me that it took so long for New Belgium brews to get here, and I would contend that any Sprecher, Capital, New Glarus or Lakefront brew kicks any New Belgium brew top to bottom (Odell Brewery IMO is a far superior Fort Collins brewery). Give Capital another try if you're here. I've often said that I've never had a Capital brew that I didn't like. Lakefront, Sprecher and New Glarus among others are all fine breweries. I doubt we have the number of breweries located in your neck of the woods, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. A Lakefront tour is a must for any Brewers and beer fan. I just took one on Monday with Jim Klisch, co-founder of the brewery, the first time I've had one conducted by either he or Russ, and it was the best tour I've taken there (somewhere in the 25-30 range by now) to date.

Final, Game 2: Nashville 1, Memphis 5 Nashville Site Game Summary Sounds Split Doubleheader In Memphis MEMPHIS - The Nashville Sounds split a doubleheader against the division-rival Memphis Redbirds on Wednesday evening at AutoZone Park, winning the opener, 1-0, before falling 5-1 in the nightcap. Sounds right-hander Tim Dillard turned in the highlight of the evening and the best pitching performance by a Nashville hurler all season, working an eight-inning, one-hit shutout in the visitors' 1-0 victory in the night's first contest. Dillard (10-4), who faced the minimum 24 batters in his outing and tossed just 65 pitches, allowed a first-inning Tyler Greene single then erased him on a double play grounder en route to retiring the final 22 Memphis batters in order. The right-hander leads all Pacific Coast League hurlers with his ten wins this season and lowered his ERA to 3.66 on the year after hurling Nashville's first shutout of 2009. Jason Bourgeois went 2-for-4 for Nashville and drove in the winning run with a single in the top of the eighth inning. Hernan Iribarren opened the Sounds' eighth by drawing a walk from Redbirds reliever Jess Todd and later scored the game's lone run on Bourgeois' second single of the night. Memphis starter Blake Hawksworth matched Dillard pitch-for-pitch on the evening, carrying a perfect game into the seventh inning before Bourgeois singled to become the Sounds' first baserunner. The right-hander allowed just the one hit while striking out five over seven scoreless frames in taking a no-decision. Todd (4-2) drew the loss for the Redbirds after allowing the game's only run in his one inning of relief work. In the nightcap, Memphis notched a split of the twinbill with a 5-1 victory. The Redbirds drew first blood with a first-inning run off Sounds starter Chris Cody. Jon Jay led off the inning with a single to center before being erased on a Tyler Greene fielder's choice grounder. Greene then swiped second and scored on Allen Craig's RBI single to center. Craig upped the Memphis lead to 4-0 in the third with one swing of the bat, belting a three-run homer to right off Cody. The blast, his 12th of the year, plated Jay (single) and Greene (double). Nashville plated its lone run of the nightcap in the top of the fifth with a two-out rally against Redbirds starter Evan MacLane. Johnny Raburn ripped a double to center before scoring when catcher Carlos Corporan followed with an RBI single to left. Memphis answered with a run of its own in the home half of the fifth when Greene scored on a double play grounder, bringing the score to its final 5-1. MacLane (4-9) turned in a quality start to pick up the win for Memphis. He allowed one run on six hits while fanning six over six innings. Cody (4-5) took the loss for the Sounds after giving up four runs on seven hits in four frames of action. The teams wrap up the four-game set with a 7:05 p.m. finale on Thursday. Left-hander Lindsay Gulin (5-5, 4.45) will toe the rubber for the Sounds to face Memphis righty Mitchell Boggs (5-4, 4.55). Nashville Box Score Outside of Johnny Raburn's three hits, there wasn't much offense in this one for the Sounds. Chris Cody would rather not face Cardinals' farmhand Allen Craig again.

Final: Dayton 9, Wisconsin 4 Wisconsin Box Score Cody Adams' suspension meant Daniel Meadows got thrown into starting duty, his fifth start of the year, and he didn't have a very good day on the mound.

Final: Carolina 1, Huntsville 6 Huntsville Site Game Summary Southpaw Slows Down Mudcats in Stars Win By Brett Pollock / Huntsville Stars Sam Narron spun 7 2/3 impressive innings and Huntsville hit two home runs in a 6-1 win over Carolina Wednesday night in the second of a five-game set at Joe Davis Stadium that was delayed by 15 minutes at the outset due to rain. The Stars improved to 12-15 in the second half and 50-46 overall, while the Mudcats dipped to 10-17 in the second half and 47-49 overall. The Stars won for the first time in six home games in July and for the first time on home soil since June 26. Lorenzo Cain, who had just two singles in his first 20 at-bats and is coming back from a hamstring and left knee injury, slammed a fly ball off the wall in center field that trickled away from Sean Henry, who slammed into the wall trying to make the catch, and was retrieved by Carson Keiner, the right fielder. Cain circled the bases and scored ahead of the relay throw for an inside-the-park home run that put the Stars in the lead 1-0 with one out in the third inning. Taylor Green doubled in a run with two outs in the inning to make it 2-0 before Jonathan Lucroy was thrown out at the plate trying to score to end the frame. Drew Anderson, who had his second four-hit game of the season, tucked a home run just inside the right field foul pole with two outs in the fifth to extend the Stars' lead to 3-0. The Stars pushed the margin to 4-0 in the sixth on a two-out, run-scoring hit by Michael Garciaparra that preceded a Narron single that knocked starter Matthew Klinker out of the game. The Mudcats' hurler suffered his second straight loss after being charged with four runs on eight hits, while walking three and fanning three. The Stars added two runs in the seventh against Ramon Geronimo on a Green ground ball out and a Vinny Rottino single that could have been a grand slam but was pushed back by a gusting wind blowing in from left field. The Mudcats pushed across their only run in the eighth on a two-out single by Jose Castro that plated Carson Kainer and knocked Narron out of the game. The left-hander allowed five hits, all singles, struck out seven and did not walk a batter to earn his first win in two starts with the Stars. Mike McClendon retired all four batters he faced to close out the victory. The series continues Thursday night with right-hander Donovan Hand taking the hill for the Stars against Mudcats' southpaw Tom Cochran. Coverage of the game begins at 6:45 pm central time and can be heard through the internet at www.huntsvillestars.com. Huntsville Box Score Tim Dillard, Mark Rogers and then Sam Narron with strong outings for the Brewers' farmhands. Drew Anderson responds after his own feature with a four-hit game, including a solo shot and three runs scored. Lorenzo Cain adds another solo shot, an inside-the-park job, with two hits in total, two runs scored and a walk. Taylor Green with an RBI double and an RBI groundout, and Jonathan Lucroy continues to get on base via the free pass despite not hitting as well as many of us hoped/thought he would. Huntsville Game Log Yet another solid, clean all-around game for the Brewers down on the farm this evening.

I like the idea of adding Halladay, as I especially like how he is signed through next year and gives the team a good two-year window to compete. I know quite a few people are concerned about how this team will thinned out yet again with minor league talent, but I am concerned about where the team expects to find its pitching the next several years. The team's best arms are several years away from contributing, particularly at a playoff-caliber level, and the entire team is going to be a lot more expensive than what it currently is after the 2010 season. Getting a player who is signed through these next two years like Halladay seems like a perfect situation to me, and he makes every single other pitcher on the staff better (particularly Gallardo). Finding the package to acquire him of course is not the perfect situation. I would prefer not to see the team part with any player that is currently contributing at the big-league level, as again, those players are the ones that are not only being counted on this year, but are going to be counted on next year as well. If it's plausible, go for it. Stack up now, and if you need to, strip down after 2010, accumulate draft picks and prospects, pare your payroll, keep the integral parts of the team (Gallardo & Braun most likely) and try again within (hopefully) 2-3 years. While Melvin has said all along that he has intended to build a consistent winner, you have to take your shots when the opportunity presents itself, and more and more teams go through such cycles these days. As long as the over-lying philosophies and talent evaluation remains intact, the team should be fine in the long-run. Hopefully by then the players will be showing off a pair of WS rings http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif.

Final: St. Lucie 1, Brevard County 2 Brevard County Box Score Another solid pitching performance by both teams, as each club only managed to record five hits. The 'Tees did walk five times, while the pitching staff did not issue a single free pass. Caleb Gindl hits his 12th double on the year, and is currently sixth in the FSL in OPS. Mark Rogers as noted above puts together an impressive performance as he continues to build arm strength. Brevard County is the one affiliate we continue to struggle to find followers, as it would sure be nice to know how well this young man threw tonight outside of using our own imaginations through the box score. Mark Willinsky does a fine job in relief as well, as the Mets' only run came on a solo shot by 2008 first-round pick Reese Havens off of Jim Henderson in the ninth. Brevard County Game Log Similar to game one between Nashville and Memphis, this game seemed to be played fairly quickly and cleanly. The Manatees did have their fair share of runners scattered throughout the game.

Final, Game One: Nashville 1, Memphis 0 Nashville Site Game Summary Dillard Tosses One-Hitter In Twinbill Opener MEMPHIS -- Sounds right-hander Tim Dillard tossed an eight-inning, one-hit shutout in Nashville's 1-0 victory over the Memphis Redbirds at AutoZone Park in the first game of a doubleheader on Wednesday evening. Dillard (10-4), who faced the minimum 24 batters in his outing, allowed a first-inning Tyler Greene single then erased him on a double play grounder en route to retiring the final 22 Memphis batters in order. Jason Bourgeois went 2-for-4 for Nashville and drove in the winning run with a single in the top of the eighth inning. The teams are currently competing in the nightcap. Complete results will be posted at the conclusion of tonight's on-field action. Nashville Box Score I know I wasn't the only one that didn't know what the Brewers were doing with Tim Dillard to open the season when they returned him to the starting rotation, but slowly but surely he seems to be going deeper and deeper into ballgames, and may just be a candidate to chip in at the big-league level sooner rather than later. That isn't to say that I'm not still a little confused by the way they have handled him, but it's hard not to root for the sinkerballer, whose patience has got to be rewarded at some point. It's hard to say much else about this one, as Dillard even helped his own cause with a single as part of the team's rally in the top of the eighth. Nashville Box Score The Sounds did miss a seemingly much more ripe opportunity in the top of the seventh, but decided to wait to make things more interesting an inning later. Just an impressive game for Dillard, who faced the minimum in his eight innings of work. Memphis' starter Blake Hawksworth also pitched well, as both teams faced the minimum through six innings. No surprise this game last only 1:43 (with only one person in the crowd -- see Mass, it's not just the Arizona League).

Final: AZL Giants 3, AZL Brewers 5 Arizona Box Score I don't think I have ever handled Link Report duties and saw the Baby Brewers win http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif. That may be a stretch, but these aren't your college roommates' Arizona Brewers. Draft-day fave Max Walla goes 2-4 with a two-run triple. I know we were all surprised by his initial placement, and I know we're also all surprised by how much he has struggled to produce. Tyler Cravy was dealing before the fifth inning, and still finished with eight Ks in five innings. Blake Billings followed him with a much-needed solid outing. Arizona Game Log Interesting fifth for Cravy, who allows a leadoff double before striking out the next two batters, then gives up three runs before finishing the inning with another K. -

Final: Helena 8, Casper 4 Helena Box Score Chris Ellington hits a two-run homer with two outs in the first, slowly but surely putting his name among the countless number of Brewers college draftees that have put up impressive numbers in the Pioneer League. Josh Prince draws his league-leading 23rd walk. Eric Arnett goes three scoreless, which may lead some to believe that he can only start games given his goofy splits as a piggy-backer. Closer Michael Fiers records his league-leading sixth save, seeing his ERA drop below 2.00 while improving his K:BB ratio to 19:1 in 13.2 innings of work. Helena Game Log The H-Crew does a really nice job manufacturing some insurance runs in the top of the ninth after Casper made this game too close for comfort in the mid-to-late innings. -

Final: Carolina 4, Huntsville 3 Huntsville Site Game Summary Mudcats Square Season Series at Three Apiece By Brett Pollock / Huntsville Stars Todd Frazier hit the game-winning home run in the eighth inning to power Carolina past Huntsville 4-3 Tuesday night in the opener of a five-game set at Joe Davis Stadium that was delayed by 70 minutes at the outset due to rain. The Mudcats won their third straight to improve to 10-16 in the second half and 47-48 overall, while the Stars slipped to 11-15 in the second half and 49-46 overall. The Stars fell to 18-23 at home and played in a one-run game for a fourth time in six days, dropping three of them. Juan Francisco's run-scoring single in the first inning, three pitches into the game, got the scoring started but the Stars countered with a pair of runs in the bottom half of the inning on a Drew Anderson run-scoring double and a throwing error by shortstop Zach Cozart that allowed Anderson to score. The visitors tied the game in the second inning on a home run by Stephen Chapman, who was drafted and signed by the Brewers and spent the first five years of his career with them. Sean Henry reached to open the third on an Anderson fielding error and scored on a Mike Jones wild pitch to put Carolina back in the lead. Jones worked out of a runners at first and third and nobody out jam in the top half of the fourth before Vinny Rottino's lead off long ball in the bottom of the inning got the game tied. It was his fourth of the season and first since June 7 at West Tenn. Mudcats' starter Lee Tabor was taken out after five frames, giving up three runs, two earned, on four hits, while walking two and striking out one. Sean Watson took over and retired the side in order in the sixth and then set down Anderson and Jonathan Lucroy to end the seventh with two runners on base to earn his third win of the season. Jones was lifted in a 3-3 game after six innings, allowing six hits, walking one and fanning a season-high nine. He has gone at least six innings in five of his nine starts with the Stars. Casey Baron worked a scoreless seventh inning before Frazier, who had struck out twice and flied out, belted a 2-2 pitch over the wall just to the right of straightaway center field for his 11th home run of the season leading off the decisive frame. Phillippe Valiquette worked a shutout eighth inning and Logan Ondrusek tossed a perfect ninth to record his sixth save. The series continues Wednesday night with left-hander Sam Narron taking the hill for the Stars against Mudcats' right-hander Matthew Klinker. Coverage of the game begins at 6:45 pm central time and can be heard through the internet at www.huntsvillestars.com. Huntsville Box Score As noted above, it sure is nice to see Lorenzo Cain, Jonathan Lucroy and Taylor Green all in the same box score, even if it is a few months late, but that trio went 1-for-12 with a walk. Mike Jones goes deep in yet another start, and is following up a tough June with a stellar July. I remember when he was one of the Southern League's top prospects many years ago, and hopefully he rewards the Brewers' patience with him some day at the big league level. Casey Baron, who now has given up a pair of runs in his last two outings, takes the loss despite having an otherwise impressive season while seemingly being groomed as the next Mitch Stetter. Huntsville Game Log A solo home run to lead off the top of the 8th by Reds' top prospect Todd Frazier is the difference in this one. Overall it's a relatively clean game, and as noted above, it's hard to pin this one on Baron given his efforts not only in this game working out of a potential jam in the seventh, but all year long. -
