Not a good day to be a top Brewer pitching prospect

by dtmeyers on Aug 30, 2010 7:50 AM CDT reply actions

Unless your name is Jeffres

by BrewCrewBrian on Aug 30, 2010 7:55 AM CDT up reply actions

After the game iirc, with the closer who finished out the 9th on the no-hitter. Apparently that wasn’t his only no-hit start, but in the previous appearance the bullpen didn’t hold them hitless. Who is this kid and why hasn’t he been hyped?

by nullacct on Aug 30, 2010 9:48 AM CDT reply actions

He has...

Well, he looks awesome

It’s only A-ball, but he looks pretty great so far

Yeah, who knows

maybe a first round pitching pick will work out for once.

Let's have another conversation about a player's attitude

I’ve had three scouts in the last two weeks exclaim real issues with #Brewers 2B Brett Lawrie’s body language, demeanor, and or course, D.

Not good

Extend Rickie and trade the problem child?

he and Gamel been hanging out?

blah blah blah

scouts trying to make themselves useful

by warwick5s on Aug 30, 2010 10:30 AM CDT up reply actions

What the crap does that mean?

We have no idea if this is referring to serious makeup issues or some BS Adam Dunn “he doesn’t enjoy the game enough” crap.

by Cheeseandcorn on Aug 30, 2010 10:42 AM CDT up reply actions

Eh, I'm not too worried

Here was a good quote I found:

There’s been some talk that Lawrie has some attitude issues and some growing up to before he can reach his potential. These "character" red flags have been particularly apparent during his recent struggles. No problem, he’s only 20. Think about what a "punk" you were when you were 20. I rest my case.

Albeit this is from aFantasy Baseball site, the guy still makes a good point.

Don’t we all look the other way already when Braun slams his helmet after striking out or when Prince attacks the wall after getting under a meatball? He’s a young, professional athlete. They get frustrated, and they have a bit of attitude. He’ll grow up sooner or later.

so say the scouts from other teams that want to trade for him

by tcyoung on Aug 30, 2010 12:18 PM CDT up reply actions

Let's be honest, as long as you're somewhere on the spectrum between Craig Counsell and Gary Sheffield, your character really doesn't matter one bit if you can play baseball.

And scouts/writers need to stop pretending they’re able to garner some type of deep insight into a player’s personality by watching him play a baseball game.

Ryan Braun: He loves it.

by SRB on Aug 30, 2010 11:29 AM CDT up reply actions

Not really sure what I thinl about it

But I do think its fair to read someone’s body language.

Free Brendan Katin

Maybe he should play first base instead. That is, he should lie out there and we can step on him when we get a hit.

by TheJay on Aug 30, 2010 10:28 AM CDT reply actions

huh?

I think we have a long-term right fielder. The only spot that may open up next year is 1st base and I imagine that’s Gamel unless he’s traded. Do you want Katin as a 5th outfielder? We have to assume Gomez will stay on the roster as the 4th outfielder.

by ecocd on Aug 30, 2010 10:39 AM CDT up reply actions

I know

There is no room for him in Milwaukee long-term and there’s no reason to think this is anything but a career year but I’m still pulling for the guy. Call him up in September for right-handed power off the bench. I don’t care if they have to let him go in 2011, maybe he can catch on elsewhere, maybe he disappears, whatever.
