He looked a little awkward in spring training out there, but he's certainly physically gifted enough to do it. Your 2008 Milwaukee Brewers: Like watching a crocodile attack any catchable thing as opposed to a snake attacking a bird in the air.

Brewerfan Player Index Pages will be in place by the start of the Helena / Arizona seasons. Some of these names we listed on the forum here earlier as having signed. 19 are draft picks, Drespling is an undrafted free agent. MILWAUKEE BREWERS - Agreed to terms with LHP Evan Frederickson, OF Cutter Dykstra, LHP Josh Romanski, RHP Maverick Lasker, RHP Trey Watten, RHP Michael Bowman, RHP Greg Miller, SS Michael "Mikey" Marseco, RHP Garrett Sherrill, C Corey Kemp, RHP Mark Willinsky, RHP Damon Krestalude, RHP Liam Ohlmann, RHP Ben Jeffers, LHP Brandon Ritchie, SS John Delaney, C Derrick Alfonso, RHP Brandon Rapoza, OF Michael Vass and INF-OF Brandon Drespling. We'll try link to colbyjack's scouting reports during the overnight as well, although you can go directly to our Official Draft Selection Thread here. Last Edited By: And That June 10, 2008 6:28 PM.

Does anyone know or speculate as to why Cody hasn't already been moved up? At this point, his time spent at the "A" level in West Virginia seems excessive for being a "rehab-stop."

Posts: 12368 June 10, 2008 10:00 PM Graphic Artist / Dir of Amateur Baseball Ops	No word on Luetge. As I noted in my scouting profile on him (at least I think I mentioned this), I think he's one of the more likely candidates to return to school. If you hear otherwise, we all obviously would love to know the details. Rice is one of those schools that is tough to pry talent away from, both HS recruits and existing players. And kudos to the Brewers for getting so many signings done so quickly. Of course this is nothing new, directed to those that try to go out of their way to find a way to bash the team for being cheap with their draft signings. I was saying boo-urns

Posts: 12371 June 10, 2008 10:22 PM Graphic Artist / Dir of Amateur Baseball Ops	Whoops. Sorry about that. Luetge is bolded for good reason, as the team did sign him. He is definitely one of the team's higher profile, more aggressive signs from their late round picks. I think my explanation of Rice players and Luetge's situation only increases the excitment for that transaction. Assuming they get most of their picks in the top 20 signed (which I'm assuming they will, since they almost always do), Winkler is the one guy you should keep your fingers crossed for. I was saying boo-urns

Posts: 313 June 10, 2008 10:37 PM	Lintz, Seth Lintz, who isn't due to sign until Friday officially. 20 in the press release plus Lintz and Luetge makes 22. Wonder who the last guy is.
