These look like the results of the Rule 5 draft for the Brewers. These include the minor league portion as well.

Brewers Lost:

Lou Palmisano, C - Orioles [ED: The O's traded him to the Astros.]
Patrick Ryan, RHP - Mariners
Guilder Rodriguez, SS - Rangers

Brewers aquisitions:

Eddie Morlan, RHP from Rays (ML Phase)
Mark Heilman, RHP from Cubs (minor league phase)
John Ash, IF from Astros
Shane Justis, IF from Dodgers
Juan Sanchez, IF from Twins

EDITOR: More on these guys later. Thanks Jimi!

More young infielders

Maybe this is a statement by Melvin that Escobar and Gamel are both going to be on the Major league roster with three new infielders for AAA

"You see that," says Cutter, pointing at his blood-stained pants. "I love that. I love it. I love always having my uniform dirty because that's how my dad did it. I kind of want to bring that style back to baseball -- a hard-nosed approach, a real blue-collar type. I throw my body around and do whatever it takes to win."

I don't know anything about the guys drafted...

…but I would like to think that building depth in the infield is a kind of admission that paying $3 or $4MM a season for a guy like Counsell or Graffanino isn’t the best way to spend a limited budget.

Also, cheese.

Sorry if the initial post was a little un-edited

I was doing it while I was attempting to pay attention to a neuro lecture.

Congrats 08 Crew on a fine Wild Card achievement! What do you say we keep the next postseason drought to something a little shorter than a quarter of a Century.

If its a 100 level I can understand, but 200 and above shouldn’t you know that divided attention will diminish performance? (just kidding)

Its a damn 600 level

You think I would have learned by now…

No worries,

It gave me a starting point, which is more than I would’ve had if you hadn’t done it. Thanks!

I don't specifically articulate my motives, because that wouldn't travel as well as a boo does.

Its Eduardo Morlan.

For those of you looking for his stats.

Why am I not surprised

that the Mariners took a Brewers player in the Rule 5 draft?

Also, cheese.
