Prospect Watch #1

Yes, Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw has a nasty curveball but I think announcer Vin Scully might have went a bit overboard in his call during the game.

Brewers third baseman Ryan Braun has been on a tear in only 2 months in the big leagues. He has a 1.76 OPS against lefties this year... will he continue that production or will he slump?

Ryan Braun homered twice last night to bring his season total to 30, sending two misguided pitches into the seats in the first two innings, just like he had done 28 times previously in his brief major league career, just like he has been doing all season long. He's a pull hitter who doesn't need to pull everything. He's a power hitter who can can hit for average....

After saying it was going to happen soon, Dr. X, yes "THE" Dr. X called his on shot when Ryan Braun would get the call for the Milwaukee Brewers. His next selection, well we'll see what happens to those

While rookies like Hunter Pence and Ryan Braun excel, it's easy to forget just how many youngsters have failed this season.

Still struggling from post-concussive syndrome after a "freak fielding fall" on July 5th, Corey Koskie was a no-show at Brewers camp. This could open the door for five tool prospect Ryan Braun. Braun, who was expected to spend most of the year at Triple-A, could win the Brewers 3B job with a big spring. He recently impressed in the Arizona Fall League by hitting .326.

We analyze the Milwuakee Brewers' signing of Mike Cameron and the effect it will have on current Brewers players Ryan Braun and Bill Hall in fantasy.

Some Links: 1) Top Dodgers prospect Clayton Kershaw throws a mean curve--I have footage. 2) Actor Billy Crystal signs with the New York Yankees...? WTF, mate. 3) The Baseball Boogie, featuring Dodger greats Orel and Fernando. 4) Mets relief pitcher Scott Schoeneweis is a chump. 5) Kaz Matsui has roid rage. Not those roids. 6) Robinson Cano scouting report. 7) More!

It has now been a week since Ryan Braun signed his record-breaking contract extension with the Milwaukee Brewers, but there is an issue that seemingly is not going away on several sports radio shows. Many people feel that race was an issue when the Brewers signed Braun over first basemen Prince Fielder. For the sake of saving several people that may accuse me of racism, let me...

The biggest news coming out of Tuesday was an injury to Albert Pujols. The Cardinals slugger suffered a strained calf, and will likely require a stint on the disabled list. There are precious few quality replacements available, but there are still a few decent options fantasy owners can turn to. Several other players returned to their teams like Matt Holliday and Moises Alou, a catching...

According to a source, the Brewers will try to trade J.J. Hardy this offseason in order to make room for shortstop prospect Alcides Escobar. Hardy is the top shortstop in the National League, and he would only hurt his value by moving to third base, so moving him appears to be the only option. The Brewers gave Ryan Braun time to develop in the minors before calling him up in 2007...

Scott Baker accomplished an unthinkable task in the third inning of today's finale against the Milwaukee Brewers, he struck out four hitters in one inning. He started the inning by striking out Ryan Braun. He then struck out Prince Fielder, but the ball bounced into the dirt and past the catcher Redmond to allow Fielder to reach safely. He ended the inning by fanning Russell...

MILWAUKEE, WI — The Milwaukee Brewers made a stunning move following their four-game sweep of the Cardinals Thursday, when they released Ryan Braun and Solomon Torres, two of the best players on their team. “Basically, when we looked at the fabric of our club, these guys just don’t fit in anymore,” said Brewers manager Ned Yost. [...]

Brew • Ha • Ha, -noun 1. A recurring listing of news, blog linkage and personal takes relating the Milwaukee Brewers and NL Central, compiled by Bugs & Cranks newbie Tyler Maas. What better place to begin this periodic feature than to mention the utter excellence of CC Sabathia? The burly southpaw scattered five hits to earn his fifth win and second shutout as Brewer...

As if the playoffs aren't painful enough to watch for Pirate fans...-Basically everyone on the Rays should have been drafted by us. Jason Bay is tearing it up for the Red Sox. We're always mentioned in the Manny deal when HE tears it up in LA, and something is telling me the Dodgers aren't exactly missing Andy LaRoche. And nobody in Pittsburgh likes to see Philly fans...
