Timber Rattlers roster released

link (h/t bnedaddy at Brewerfan)

Most interesting things I see: What a pitching staff--it's so cool that this team is so close to Milwaukee. I can't wait to get up there and see some of these guys throw. Shawn Zarraga got skipped past Helena and straight to full-season ball, which is a nice vote of confidence; he could give us a third really interesting catching prospect by the end of the year. Edgar Trejo is also pretty much skipping Helena after only playing in three games there last year before blowing out his knee; he's only 19, so that's kind of surprising. Also, where's Chris Dennis?

No Odorizzi?

Hopefully he’s up there sometime in the year. It’d be great to see him and Lawrie up there this year.

Odorizzi didn't even get a late-season bump to Helena last year

I think you’ll see the Brewers be very cautious with him and Lintz, at least for awhile.

Understandable. He’s really young as well anyway. Don’t want to rush him into a huge innings pitched mark at a young age, or get him shook up in A ball when he isn’t ready.

Really looking forward to see Lawrie in person though.

Ages

Lawrie is the youngest person on the team.

The oldest — Jim Henderson, born 10/21/82. He’s spent parts of the last two seasons with the AAA Iowa Cubs. I wonder how it feels to go from AAA to low-A. Anybody know his story?

You heard it here first

the two-headed behemoth Lintzorizzi heading up the Brewers’ rotation in 2014

by Wayfaerer on Apr 7, 2009 12:20 AM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

That

is just awesome. Can’t wait to see Lawrie hit – might not be so exciting to watch him fail at 2nd

Thursday!

Get to freeze my butt off drinking dollar beers and watching the rattlers. Should be a good day…

by SgtClueLs on Apr 6, 2009 1:03 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

I'm going Thursday, too

should be a little bit warmer than today, anyway.

Someone shoot some video, please

Might not be able to Thursday, but we'll see

I will be going to several other games soon though (for sure by late April), and I definitely will then.

I hope Scarpetta pitches on opening night. I think it might be Adams, though. Or if they stretch out Wily.

Oh, and in a mildly related note, Brad Schreiber hit 92 pitching for the high school team in Chicago on Saturday.

All Ican offer is crappy camera video. Won’t be any good.. but I’ll try.

Because I'm too lazy to cross reference different web sites

can anyone provide a quick and dirty list of other non-Brewers blue-chippers in the Midwest League worth thinking about when scheduling a trip to Appleton?

by James Stanley Cocanower on Apr 7, 2009 4:26 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Happily, someone just did it for you (unless that is you).

Figuring out rotation

How many SPs would they use? I have those 2 tickets I won through here, and I’d like to time it to see Scarpetta start and Lawrie playing. Does the rotation work any different in A ball compared to the majors?

For example, if I were to see that Scarpetta is starting one day, would I be correct to assume he’ll start the 5th game after that?

T-Rats rotation

Thanks!

Good to have that for reference.

Who are the first eight guys you're so excited about? :)

And “Hook” is an excellent name for a pitching coach.

by Zeyes on Apr 7, 2009 8:45 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Oh and really

when I found out I was going to that game, I thought “Wouldn’t it be fun to get to watch Scarpetta and Nieves?”

good thing Jack Z took the Mariners job

otherwise, Scarpetta and Nieves would be permanently moved to the bullpen by now.

Also, cheese.

Lookout Landing is just so awesome

I laughed out loud reading their Aumont thread, several times. Stuff like:

SO IN THEORY THE GAMES ONLY NEED TO BE 6 INNINGS LONG FROM NOW ON

SO IN FACT IF THE GAME IS RAIN SHORTENED WE ONLY NEED 3 INNINGS OF STARTING PITCHING
I LIKA THE WAY OU THINK MR Z

Also, they’re speculating about how hard Strasburg will be able to throw out of the bullpen.

Maybe they can ditch the traditional starting rotation

And move everybody to the bullpen. Every pitcher will be a situational guy. Who’s pitching will depend on who’s batting.

by tcyoung on Apr 8, 2009 10:47 AM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Kind of like the Mariners?

I need to multitask less

Also...

Somebody please tell Mike Jones and Mark Rogers it’s okay to come out of hiding now.

by Zeyes on Apr 8, 2009 2:13 AM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

I work there

Please buy some 50/50 raffle tickets from me. It’ll get me some commission.
