Off the top of my head Peterson was a college pitcher... the why is important, because the best college arms go very early in the draft, a position the Brewers will hopefully not find themselves drafting in any time soon. They'll have to target arms like Yo, Scarpetta, Ordorizzi, Lintz, and so on to get guys with top of rotation talent later in the draft.

We are going to have to just disagree on the perception wk, because the harboring of some ill-feelings towards the Brewers is obvious in the commentary to me...spelled-out, even.

I guess I can see where people would be surprised by this, but I've criticized the Brewer's training staff on numerous occasions. I do understand that it is much more difficult to diagnose kids today, they just aren't as tough as they were even 10 years ago, most of the boys I coach in football don't know the difference between an owie and and an injury... it's the unfortunate byproduct of kids getting together to play games on video consoles instead of play the games for...

First off Rob didn't live with us here, we just helped him set up his apartment, and second, Rob doesn't harbor ANY ill feelings towards the Brewers that I am aware of. Even after listening to the interview I still feel that way. Sometimes you guys jump way to hard on things. I can however say that sometimes I think the Brewers handling of some of these guys medical needs has been somewhat odd, but that is based strictly on heresay from things I've heard the players discuss. I...

Notice Bryson also questioned the Indians rushing him back for the Sally League playoffs, so it's not just the Brewers who should look themselves in the mirror.

However, Bryson's comment about several Brewer pitchers who were seeking medical assistance in the terms of MRI's and such and having the organization make it difficult for them to do so should send chills up our spines, given the Brewers' excrutiating history of developing pitchers.

Wow.....why Bryson would make those comments about the Brewers organization is an interesting question...wk, did you know Bryson harbored such ill feelings towards the Brewers organization when he lived with you? The denial of MRI's is a pretty serious accusation.

Follow the link to an interview with Rob Bryson on Smoke Signals, an Indians radio show recorded 12/18/2008. Rob's segment begins somewhere around the 32:00 mark. Pretty interesting stuff.

Just an update on LaPorta...

In 60 at bats with Cleveland in the minor leagues he struggled and put up a .649 OPS in AA.
In 43 at bats in Venezuela Winter League he has struggled and put up a .679 OPS.
In both places, he has been striking out almost 1/3 of the time.

Not saying he won't be good, but he is certainly going through some growing pains right now.

Just a for what it's worth update. Rob had surgery on wednesday and said everything went well. He's hurting pretty good right now, but that's to be expected. I'll keep you updated when I find out more about it when he's feeling better.

For what it's worth, Rob Bryson was not totally done for the year. He pitched a strong inning on the 29th of August, and could possibly face his former team on Friday night in Lake County. Still has some soreness but I don't think it was quite as bad as originally reported.
