Tuesday's Frosty Mug
Some things to read while trying to figure out what you'd do with two toasters. The Brewers, along with 21 other MLB teams, were off yesterday, but this site was not. Thanks to a link from Big League Stew that ended up on the front page at Yahoo, over 57,000 readers stopped by yesterday, far and...
Friday's Frosty Mug
Another day, another Mug. So in yesterday's Mug I linked to Brian Anderson, who told us that Sheets was "headed in a different direction." Today, he's changed the wording of his note on Sheets to this: Free agent Ben Sheets appears to be headed in a different direction but the door is never...
Community Prospect Rankings: Voting for #17, the final spot.
Zach Braddock dominated the field in the voting for prospect #16. Two weeks ago, when I asked how far we should go, the average vote result was 17, so today's vote (which will be open until Monday) is for the final spot on our Community Prospect Rankings. As such, I'm emptying out the notebook and...
Community Prospect Rankings: Voting for #16
Tim Dillard beat out Zach Braddock to win the voting for #15. Follow the jump for details on the nominees for #16. Also, since we're down to the final two spots, I decided to increase the field of nominees to 10, to ensure everyone gets a shot. Evan Anundsen, RHP Rankings: Brewerfan.net Power 50:...
BCB Interview: CF Erik Miller
I don't hear much about Erik Miller, but surprisingly, he'd heard some about me. Before I could even ask him something, the 17th-round 2007 draftee started talking, and as you'll see, we talked for awhile. Of all the interviews I've done, I think this was my favorite so far, and not just for the...
BCB Interview: CF Cutter Dykstra
When talking to Cutter Dykstra, it becomes immediately apparent that while he treasures his father's wisdom and advice, he's out to make a name for himself. That said, if you saw Lenny Dykstra play, you have a pretty good idea of Cutter's game: one hundred percent all of the time. He may not end...
BCB Interview: OF Erik Komatsu
Cal State-Fullerton outfielder Erik Komatsu is quickly becoming a favorite of mine. I haven't seen him play, but his line at Helena (.326/.393/.516) conjures up images of a sweet lefty swing lacing liners into the gap. At only 5'10", Komatsu is short for an outfielder, but as his old coach said,...
BCB Interview: 4th-round LHP Josh Romanski
Josh Romanski was drafted by the Brewers in the fourth round out of the University of San Diego, where he starred as a left-handed pitcher and outfielder. One of his Torero teammates was fourth-overall pick Brian Matusz, who said to me of Romanski, "I have never seen someone bury an inside fastball...
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...
