You know.
I have MLB Ticket and thought of canceling...maybe I'll just keep it and watch a young team evolve. 2 kids in top 8 gives reason for optimism.

Yeah, you probably shouldn't run on @Brewers 1st round pick @ccoulter12 @BCManatees pic.twitter.com/azwJIkWgoK
On the fly.
On a related note, Chelsa Messinger is smoking hot.

CF Keon Broxton found his swing after #Brewers sent him to @skysox. On 10-game hitting streak with .410 average. Over last 15 Gs, .371.

That first inning HR for @Brett_Phillips8 places him in a first place tie with Jackson's Tyler O'Neil for the league lead with 6 homers.

From the MiLB update-
CF Keon Broxton extended his hitting streak to 12 games after hitting 2 home runs for Colorado Springs yesterday. He is batting .396 (19-for-48) in that span. The Lakeland, FL native is batting .366 (26-for-71) with 4 doubles, a triple, 8 walks, 7 home runs and a .438 OBP in his last 17 games with the club after hitting .182 (4-for-22) in his first 6 games. Overall in 22 games with the Sky Sox, Broxton owns a .323/.406/.634 slash line with 12 steals and leads the team and system with 7 home runs.

First name "Manny" and last name beginning with a "P"? Bad memories.
Sorry, but 19 for 38 is a .500 average. Hard to imagine that is 3rd in the PCL.
Good eye Antoo. Regardless, Manny is still raking at high altitudes

Bad timing for Monte Harrison. Just as he was really getting going at the plate, he broke left hamate during Beloit series last weekend.

Isan Diaz last week- .500 BA (7x14), 6 R, 2 2B, 2 HR, 3 RBI, 4 BB, 1 SB, .611 OBP, 1.071 SLG, 1.683 OPS. NOT MWL player of the week #snubbed

Congrats to Josh Hader! Josh has been named to the US roster for the MLB Futures Game in San Diego.
— Brewers Player Dev (@BrewersPD) June 28, 2016
Why worry about draft position when you get aces like Marco Estrada or Junior Guerra off the street? Any thoughts on Junior being on our rosters in August?
I've got a fever, and the only cure is more Diaz

Isan Diaz is killing it
Being able to pull the trigger on a trade for prospects is one thing.
Being able to put together an organization that has solid player development is another.
I hope stearns can do it.
Developing pitching has been a weak point for to long. Is it that the pitchers selected are not good, or is the development weak?
Can you name a pitcher who went elsewhere and did really well (that was given up on)?
I think it's scouting. Teams hit home runs on pitchers in the draft- the same teams all the time.
Marco Estrada
Jorge De La Rosa
In the Southern league, he is 10th in RBI's, 5th in HR's, 20th in OBP, 11th in SLG, 14th in OPS. Would like to see a much higher OPS from a top prospect (.726), He's endured some woeful stretches where he can't hit anything. He's also 21.
Brinson is a defensive monster! Strong defenses in the middle? Arcia. Brinson. Who's on second?
