good job Nick Tyson

All I know is he is supposed to have a nice curveball.

It would be interesting if one of the people more knowledgeable of the minors gave their thoughts on players who have a good chance to be starters on the club in the next couple years.

In the beginning of the year, I thought maybe Narveson would be back up at some point. Early in the season, I wondered about Narron. But really, all I got is no clue, although I still think DiFelice would make a nice long man/spot starter.

"starters" = starting pitchers?

The only two I’d bet on are Jeremy Jeffress and Alex Periard. Zach Braddock is very interesting, but his control tanked this year at A+ and he’s currently on the DL after having shoulder problems last year, which isn’t a good sign.

Also

Former future Brewers starter Steve Hammond made his SF debut for AAA Fresno yesterday, throwing two shutout innings with a hit, a walk, and a strikeout (also got the win).

Weird

I wonder if they plan on using him only as a reliever

And neck size to baby eating ratio.

With the Giants, who the hell knows?

When he was first drafted, there were a lot of rumors he was going to be fast-tracked as reliever, since he was one as a Dirtbag.

Does Mat Gamel miss Matt LaPorta?

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.
