wow i was pretty confident about this kid after only seeing a-ball numbers. of course, his a-ball numbers were pretty good. then he skipped high-a and smashed double-a. then he really increased his power in triple-a and made the show.
prince may have a little trouble with contact this year, but he's young. he'll get it together. with that patience and that power, he'll be hitting bombs. he'll be hitting bombs. the things he'll be hitting will be bombs.
the brewers are looking pretty good for 2006 but they're looking especially good for 2007.

these are the numbers of a raw talent. mark rogers apparently has a nasty slider. whether he makes the majors or not depends on whether he learns control.

ryan braun just got drafted. he has lots of power, and good patience. looks like contact will be a challenge for him as he moves through the minors. you see a lot of players with a similar profile. most of them don't make it. but this one may have enough power to put him over the top.

yovani gallardo pitched in the sally league at the age of 19. and he did pretty well, especially in the home runs category. he'll have to work on his control.

corey hart played in triple-a at the age of 22 and had decent contact and good power. he may not quite be ready, but he's gonna make it.

a defensive standout, alcides escobar was able to hit middle-a pitching at the age of 18. he'll be a good one.

dana eveland is a lefty. he's got mojo. look at those home runs allowed. he's very young. he'll have a quality career.

nelson cruz hit with lots of power and good patience last year, but it remains debatable that he'll ever be able to hit major-league pitching. he's 25, and it doesn't look like he'll develop contact.

jose capellan came over from the braves in exchange for danny kolb. he looked like a prospect at the time, but he's gotten older and he hasn't really improved. i mean, he's improved, just not enough. his control is poor, and his contact rate isn't that good.

that is a tasty tasty line in the pioneer league. we'll keep an eye on him as he moves up.
that's it on the brewers! lots of good stuff, at all levels. it'll be hard to unseat the team with albert pujols but the wild card is a definite possibility in the years to come.
