If not, then there's something wrong with the idiots that run things in the Brewer farm system..... I mean what more do these kids have to do? |

catcher in his first full pro year and still progressing on defense) and Cody (who is doing something of a rehab assignment after elbow problems held him back
in extended spring training) in West Virginia until early-mid June.

MLB.com's Adam McCalvy:
Outfielder Lorenzo Cain's stay at Triple-A Nashville will be a short one, according to assistant Brewers general manager Gord Ash. Cain, rated Milwaukee's ninth-best prospect entering the season, was promoted from Class A Brevard County to Nashville this week when Mel Stocker left the team for the birth of a child. Stocker was given four days off, and when he returns, Cain will be sent back down. |

happen for a bit.

Hopefully Hammond gets a midseason bump.

For now, the Nashville rotation is set (Ben Howard, Richie Gardner, Sam Narron, Lindsay Gulin, and Chris Narveson). That's not exactly imposing, but it is
a set five. The Sounds have a doubleheader Sunday with no day off until the 25th, so they will need someone to spot start Monday.

Not exactly a list of top-tier prospects that now make up the Nashville starting rotation, perhaps a sign of how thin pitching has become in the top levels of
the Brewers system. But it is interesting, and perhaps a good sign, that those starters at AAA and AA that are still considered prospects are all left-handed
(Narron, Narverson, Hammond, Welch, Miller).

We saw a Greensboro player blog in which he mentioned his buddy Wes Etheridge's injury at West Virginia, so we now know how he landed on
the DL:
He took a ball off the ankle about two weeks ago and fractured his ankle so he's actually on the DL for a while. He said that he'll hopefully be ready to go by the beginning of the second half. |

LHP Chris Cody has been transferred to Brevard County. We can all exhale now after waiting for that move.
RHP Pedro Lambertus, who struggled at West Virginia in six early-season appearances, gets another chance with the Power, moved up from extended spring training. |
