Lucroy might be on PTBNL list after all?

"I've heard a new name as a possibility to be the player to be named in the CC Sabathia deal with Milwaukee. He's Jonathan Lucroy, a 22-year-old catcher who was the Brewers' third-round pick in 2007. He was just promoted from Class A West Virginia in the South Atlantic League to Class A Brevard County of the Florida State League. In those two combined places, he's hitting .321 with 14 HR and 49 RBI in 302 at-bats. For his pro career (all in Class A) heading into the weekend, he is a .327 hitter with 18 HR and 88 RBI in 535 at-bats, good for a .902 OPS."

uggh

I would rather it were Salome. You said he had some potential behind the plate, right?

Which?

They both do, though Salome is a bit of a cipher defensively. Lucroy is no great shakes, but is adequate, and as such is the better prospect of the two at the moment, though Salome is the better pure hitter and his improving plate approach deserves to be recognized.

He's extremely quick and good.

yes

I meant Lucroy had some potential behind the plate. That is why I would rather they part with Salome if they have to give up one.

Who is the Brewers' top prospect?

Brett Lawrie - Cana-DUH!
Mat Gamel - A great pure hitter who could potentially play a position of need.
Alcides Escobar - The Brewers sorely need his defensive wizardry and contact-hitting approach. He also solves the 3B hole by shifting J.J. over.
Jonathan Lucroy - The best catching prospect in the system by virtue of the fact that he can actually catch. His hitting numbers at Brevard are very good on the face of it, but even better after accounting for Space Coast Stadium.
Angel Salome - He's leading a Huntsville team that's loaded with prospects in all three slash stats, and he has the tools to be a good defensive catcher.
Jeremy Jeffress - The only real pitching prospect in a sea of hitters, Jeffress could potentially ease the pain of losing two aces by blossoming into one himself.
Carlos George - Hey, Derek Jeter can't play defense either.
