Over at Baseball America they are taking a look at catching prospects, starting with caught stealing rates. Pretty article along with a breakdown of couple of Brewer prospects. One good, one not so good.

Jonathan Lucroy: In the Rookie-level Pioneer League last year, Lucroy showed a promising offensive skill set, but his arm strength was fringy and his throws to second base tended to tail off the bag. Lucroy began the year in low Class A, a fairly conservative assignment for a 2007 third-round pick out of college. Lucroy improved defensively, became a SAL all-star and earned a promotion to high Class A Brevard County, where his performance remained sharp. His arm strength is now average, but it’s his quick release that helped him control the running game so well.

Angel Salome: One year ago, Salome threw out just six of 46 base stealers (13 percent), so 2008 was an improvement for Salome. The arm strength is there for Salome, but his release isn’t quick and he’s struggled with his throwing accuracy. At 5-foot-7, Salome’s wingspan wouldn’t afford his infielders much leeway on errant throws should he ever move to first base, so continued improvements in all facets of his defensive skills will be crucial.
