    I think this edition is pretty spot on from the guys I have watched. Like some other posters, it's harder to find Lawrie that high without having seen anything, but I'm guessing Rogers/Jeffress started that way too, so time will tell. My personal favorite to watch next year is Caleb Gindl. Dude knows how to play the game...offense, defense, gun for an arm, plays hard all the time. After watching him this year I think a lot of his large strikeout totals came on AB's where he started out 3-0, had to take strike 1, fouled off strike two, and then had to guard against crappy umpiring in the SAL for strike three. I think the strikeouts will take care of themselves, and the average will continue to rise. Braddock is another favorite of mine for top ten. Had kinda rough year health wise, getting a late start, but even on bad nights still seemed to strike out a few. The only thing in my mind keeping these guys out of the top 10, is the guys ahead of them! Thanks for your hard work in posting this edition!

    I'm impressed with the Brewers Minor League system and the scouting department. In reviewing the current 40-42 man roster, you have Yo, Angel Salome, Mat Gamel, Alcides Escobar all with birthdates of 1985 or 1986. That is one talented group of developed, non-collegiate studs! I got to watch all these guys pass through Charleston, WV on their way to Milwaukee, and I hope someone up there can arrange for us to keep the low A Brewer pipeline here....I know baseball won't be as entertaining for me and my family without them! I stand corrected on Gamel...but we're still talking young and major league ready!

    Thanks for the update! Looks like the Power can celebrate tonite!

    When the lakewood game goes final will someone please post the score...I'm at the park and can't get the box on my phone. Thanks for any updates . Hopefully the Power take game 2 and clinch on their own!

    The following link will take you to an ebay page where there are several WV Power jerseys for auction. Among the jerseys available are ones signed by Caleb Gindl, Eric Fryer, Zealous Wheeler, John Curtis as well as a team signed jersey. I don't think these were actually worn by the player who autographed them as these appear to be jerseys worn in the 2007 season..but I could be wrong. Ronald McDonald Charities Jerseys http://thumbs3.ebaystatic.com/pict/3202916668228080_1.jpg

    With Lakewood losing to Delmarva last nite, the Power magic # is down to 2 with 5 games remaining! Seems a lock that they will be in the playoffs vs. Lake County, which is where Rob Bryson ended up after the Sabathia deal. Rob has been throwing off the mound, and is slated to throw in a game sometime before the season ends so good news for him on the injury front!

    I don't disagree with what you say about Lucroy. I have seen them all play live and in person here in Charleston. My thoughts were in the discussion about who, of Green, Lucroy and Brantley would Cleveland pick, and be the best for Milwaukee to lose. I see Angel at a different place than Lucroy on the career progression. Angel is 3 full seasons with a wooden bat, Lucroy in his first. Angel has hit all the way through. My comments about Lucroy being a slap hitter was not meant to be mean and nasty, he just didn't hit the ball here with the authority the other guys I mentioned. My thoughts are with Kendall hitting .248 with 1 HR and 38RBI in 419 ABs, if Angel needs a defensive mentor, then now is the time with Kendall. Figuring the Brewers first pick of Lawrie made some catching prospect expendable, I figure it to be last guy in first guy out philosphy there. I wish all these guys the best of luck, and surely don't want to miff anyone with my viewpoints, but I have been watching the Power for the last 4 years, and have had my opinions on who will make it in my mind to the bigs, and I haven't been to far off base yet. Thanks for the stimulating debate!

    Actually that was my comment. And I very strongly stand by that comment! Early in his time here, many of his hits came because he was slapping the ball around. My opinions are just my opinions, but they do come from watching these guys. I saw Braun hit the ball here, I saw Salome hit the ball here, I saw LaPorta hit the ball here. Those guys punished the ball. The only guy I have seem this year that hit the ball as hard this year here, has been Eric Fryer during his big streak. But before you start picking this apart, I'm not saying Fryer is a Power hitter in comparison to Lucroy. I was merely pointing out that my opinion of Jonathan Lucroy from his early time here in WV, was that he picked up a lot of slap hits "early on in his time here". If you guys get miffed over comments like that, I'm really sorry and maybe I should curtail my posts.
  9. wvpowerblkwel
    That's why we live in America, be miffed and say what you like. I've seen these guys play for an extended amount of time. Maybe Lucroy not as much, so I just tell you what I saw. I wasn't really impressed early on. Seems like he's a pretty solid guy, but not one of my favorites coming through Charleston...maybe more of a personal opinion. I'm just trying to figure out what comment that I made that "miffed you", but as I said before, you bring your point of view, I bring mine...great country isn't it!
  10. wvpowerblkwel
    Out of the guys being discussed, I think I'd be most ok with Lucroy leaving. I think Angel is next in line with the Brewers, and to be honest with you, Lucroy wasn't that spectacular for me. Was a slap hitter early on in his time here, but seems to be hitting the ball a little harder in BC. Of course, Agent 39 has been kinda quiet on this issue lately, and I think I heard him say that he wouldn't comment on anybody other than his players, so maybe Brantley, Cain, and Green are all 3 NOT the PTBNL. That would leave Lucroy, or perhaps someone else not even on the discussion list?

    Check out Bramhall's numbers over the course of the season...watched him here in WV at the end of last year, and he looks to me to have the big league make-up of one of those guys that doesn't over-power you, but has everyone off balance. Has to be something deceptive in the delivery, but I think he could be one to watch if he keeps putting up numbers like he has thus far.

    Power up 4-1 end of 7, Lakewood down 7-1 middle of 8....let's hope we can shave two off the magic # tonite!! Player of the week Caleb Gindl with a 2 out opposite field RBI double off the wall, 2-3 for the nite! I love MILBTV....wish someone besides Lexington had it in the SAL. Power score is final! Lakewood did lose...Power magic # down to 4?
  13. wvpowerblkwel
    Lakewood goes down to Lake County 3-0 today....if the Power can pull off a win tonite, their magic # would be down to 5 with 15 games to go for the two teams! GO POWER! Need a playoff series here in what appears to be the last season for the Brewers here in WV (boo hiss)!
  14. wvpowerblkwel
    Gindl's continued hot streak gets rewarded tonite with news that he's going to Hawaii! Also learned today that if Lakewood and the Power end in a tie, there will be a one game playoff here in WV....evidently they had a coin toss on that and the Power won! Tonite was Ronald McDonald House Nite at Power park....updated a few new Power photos to my photo albums www.jdblackwell.shutterfly.com Lucas Leutge with another nice outing tonite http://images.yuku.com/image/jpeg/09935a319b457586e4b9c2b4ee89401616f8a56.jpg
  15. wvpowerblkwel
    Thanks for the update! Power up 5-4 bottom 8. Gindl adds a 3 run bomb, his 4th in 5 games in the 6th! 3-3 brings the avg to .304
  16. wvpowerblkwel
    I'm at App Power park and can't get a Lakewood score on my phone...can anyone give me an update? Power down 4-2 top 5. Gindl 2-2 and some real good baserunning tonite!
  17. wvpowerblkwel
    Give Angel a chance! He is just turned 22, he is handling AA pitchers for the first season, he is just coming off a horrible ankle injury. If you remember, many of you guys didn't give him any credit after the suspension and he has delivered. He is still learning to catch at an advanced level and he does have a stick! I still project him as a major league catcher in the next season or two!http://images.yuku.com/image/jpeg/d962544964728e37c31ed60b11d2ef6110f02e8.jpg

    Salome tearing it up, 3-3 with a HR and a stolen base and BA up to.367! He is my "prospect of the year", suspension or not. You have to remember he is coming off a horrific ankle injury and plays catcher...to me he is just incredible!http://images.yuku.com/image/jpeg/51c35df296437fb6eb38cd21e6d18afefd677c2.jpg

    Have had a recent conversation with Rob Bryson, and he is throwing again (up to 90 feet) and hopes that he will make an appearance in a game before the season end. Injury is something of concern, but nothing that requires "season ending surgery" as I think I read somewhere in this thread before. Here's wishing Rob a speedy recover so maybe he can face the Power in the playoffs! Of course at this point, that's as much up to the Power as it is to Rob!!

    Nice two innings for Braddock tonite with 4 k's 3 swinging! Works himself out of a little self made jam but comes out unharmed. Seems to be having trouble once he allows runners, but also working his way out of lots of those jams...good to see Zach still putting up the K's!!
  21. wvpowerblkwel
    I agree whole-heartedly with the Wooten praise! He has been fun to watch! But two of my other favorites this season having another nice "unsung nite" in Angel Salome and Brae Wright! Brae hanging 8 k's on the board thru 6 with his ERA staying below 3.50 thru close to 150 innings....not bad for a guy who struggled in low A last year. Salome, who many of you wrote off after the suspension still with a BA over .350 at this point in the season....keep it up Angel and Brae!
  22. wvpowerblkwel
    Just in case anyone is interested follow the link to view the reason why the Power scored so many runs last nite!
  23. wvpowerblkwel
    Pedro Lambertus with 3 strong innings...hit 94 on the stadium gun which is usually 4-5 mph slow...not bad for a guy that turned 20 in June!
  24. wvpowerblkwel
    Fryer goes deep in the 4th..Power up 15-1 thru 4...Bowman 1 run on 3 hits thru 4...not just the offense tonite...man it's a nice nite here at Appalachian Power park...temp in the low 70's which is real odd here for August
  25. wvpowerblkwel
    4 more in the 3rd including a 3 run bomb from Zealous Wheeler that left the park! And another triple from Lee Haydel ...Power up 14-0 end of 3
