Kirbir's Pictures of the Week
So, if you read the Mug a few days back, you'd know that our fearless leader was going to witness the battle between the Timber Rattlers and the Cedar Rapids Kernals this past Thursday. I had the great pleasure to join him in Appleton for the day. We sat in the third row back right behind home...

Community Prospect Rankings: Voting for #17, the final spot.

BCB Interview: 3B Taylor Green
Taylor Green, an unheralded 25th-round draft-and-follow in 2005, exploded onto the Brewers' prospect scene last year, hitting .327/.406/.516 for West Virginia after barely making the team out of spring training. He hasn't stopped hitting since, currently sporting a .285/.369/.420 line in the very...
Breaking Down the Prospect List
Recently, after being deluged with requests (okay, there were two), I added a prospect ranking to the left-hand sidebar. The off-day today seemed like a good time to expand a bit on my reasons and thinking. Besides, nothing generates good debate like somewhat arbitrary, mostly uninformed...
