It's hard to evaluate the success of any given draft until the players selected that year start to prove their worth at the upper levels of the minor leagues & onto the big leagues, but it's always important (and fun) to look back at drafts to try & gauge just how much talent was acquired. Observations can be made now to determine a player's worth and how they project in the future.

When you pick 2nd overall in each round, starting with the 2nd overall pick in the draft, you better get at least one marquee player. That doesn't seem to be an issue with Rickie Weeks, who even in limited playing time picked up where he left off after an impressive college career which he ended as the all-time Division 1 batting champ.

Out of 50 selections the Brewers signed 26 of these players, 17 within the top 20 and their top 12 overall. Only 8 of the 24 unsigned draftees appear to be no longer under their control, while the other 16 will be followed through next spring as DFE (draft, follow & evaluate) candidates.

Onto the players, how they fared this summer if they played, and where they stand for the future:

Potential Stars
You don't have to look far into the 2003 draft to find the Brewers' potential stars of the future. The 3 players that fall into this list also were the team's top 3 picks: Rickie Weeks, Tony Gwynn Jr. & Louis Palmisano.

1. (draft round) Rickie Weeks-2B: .349/.494/.556 (batting average/on-base percentage/slugging percentage) in 63 at-bats with Beloit
Weeks signed in the first week of August after receiving a $3.6 signing bonus and a Major League contract worth $4.8 million which can earn him up to $5.5 million based upon how quickly he makes it to the big leagues. He spent one game in Arizona after spending a few days before that trying to get back into baseball shape after taking a few months off. He was quickly bumped up to Beloit after a couple of 2-run singles & a stolen base for the baby Brewers. He didn't miss a beat at Beloit, given his numbers above. He takes a lot of pitches, a very good thing for fans of players that get on base at a high clip. He exhibited his extremely quick stroke at the plate, driving balls all over the field. He has a lot to learn on the basepaths & in the field defensively, but it's hard not to recognize him as an extremely exciting ballplayer. Given Weeks' performance, it's hard not to see him at AA Huntsville to begin the 2004 season, if not higher. Because Weeks was placed on the 40-man roster due to the Major League contract he signed, the Brewers called him up to join the big league club after the Snappers season had finished. It doesn't seem likely that he'll see much if any playing time, but he will be able to work out with the team to stay in baseball shape while specifically working with coach & former big league 2B Rich Dauer in an effort to improve his defense.

2. Tony Gwynn Jr.-CF: .280/.364/.326 in 236 ABs with Beloit
Weeks signed for $875,000 shortly after the draft and quickly reported to Beloit. He got off to an extremely hot start before cooling off a little & then finding more consistency over the last month of the season. Gwynn carried that consistency into the playoffs hitting .333. Like his teammates Prince Fielder & Rickie Weeks, Gwynn proved to be extremely selective at the plate, walking 32 times. He flashed his speed on the basepaths in that time as well swiping 14 bags in 16 attempts. Like his father, Gwynn is a good contact hitter & told me he would like to cut down on his whiffs, striking out 31 times during his stay in Beloit, still impressive being less than his walk total. Gwynn is never going to hit for much power, but hopefully he can develop a little more gap power while putting his speed to better use after hitting only 9 extra base hits. Defensively, Gwynn is probably Major-League ready. His speed obviously is an asset, but he reads balls well, gets good jumps, positions himself well & displays an accurate if not strong arm. The Brewers might be compelled to bump up Gwynn along with Fielder & Weeks to AA as part of the 2nd wave of prospects Doug Melvin likes to talk about, but Gwynn might benefit from some time at advanced A-ball in High Desert.

3. Louis Palmisano-C: .391/.458/.592 in 174 ABs with Helena
Palmisano signed quickly for $500,000 (within a day) and immediately reported to Helena in the Pioneer League. Palmisano did everything right on his way to being named the league's MVP, leading the league in batting average, on-base percentage & slugging percentage. That also led to him being named the #3 prospect in the Pioneer League according to Baseball America. He hit for average, he hit for power, showed good speed on the basepaths & played good defense as his team's captain, ÒCaptain LouÓ as dubbed by Brewerfan.net readers. Louis is an extremely athletic ballplayer that received very high grades for his defense. He doesn't have a powerful arm, but he is very quick, has a quick release & is very accurate. He positions himself well behind the plate, is quick on balls in the dirt and has a take charge approach with his pitchers. And that's just his defense. Given his numbers above, he is also very proficient with the bat. He even flashed his athleticism by stealing 13 bases in 15 tries. Palmisano has drawn comparisons to other athletic backstops such as Mike Lieberthal & Angels' prospect Jeff Mathis. However, he was unable to finish his storybook season after breaking his ankle in early to mid-August. The injury isn't considered to be serious, as he should be back at full strength well before spring training. Look for Palmisano to easily make the jump to Beloit, although I personally feel he will skip ahead to High Desert.

Outfielders
If you followed any level of the Milwaukee Brewers you know they were always scanning who was available to bolster their OF depth. This was especially obvious at High Desert, where middle infielders such as Johnny Raburn & Ralph Santana filled in the OF due to the lack of depth. Hopefully that won't be as much of an issue next year as the Brewers targeted 3 fairly polished college outfielders on day 2 of the 2003 draft. All 3 of these players along with Palmisano & several of the college pitchers listed below were a big reason why the Helena club was so successful.

4. Charlie Fermaint-CF: .300/.327/.420 in 100 ABs with Arizona
Not one of the aforementioned college outfielders, but likely has the most talent. A true 5-tool athlete, Fermaint was ranked the #6 prospect in Puerto Rico entering last June's draft. He has also played the middle IF, but the Brewers see his skills best suited for CF. Fermaint hit extremely well before suffering a shoulder injury that caused him to miss several weeks of action. Upon his return, Fermaint lost his rhythm, although he remained consistent enough to maintain a .300 batting average. He needs to work at drawing more walks, having only 3 this past season. He is extremely young, and as noted has the talent to be special with the proper instruction & dedication. Fermaint was also recently named the #10 prospect in the Arizona Rookie League according to Baseball America. Look for Fermaint in Helena next summer.

22. Terry Trofholz-CF: ..349/.396/.410 in 261 ABs with Helena
Trofholz did everything for the Helena Brewers. Along with being a good defensive centerfielder, he was also among the league leaders in several offensive categories including hitting (4th), stolen bases (1st-39 in 45 attempts), hits (2nd-91) and runs (5th-60). Of course, as a college draftee you expect to see better performances from these players, so Trofholz will need to prove his worth during full-season ball next year, either at Beloit, High Desert or both. Given his relative dominance, he might have earned himself a trip to High Desert to begin 2004.

24. Drew Anderson-OF: .318/.420/.425 in 214 ABs with Helena
Anderson was an OBP machine, getting on base 42% of the time thanks to batting .318 while walking 35 times. He only struck out 39 times in that span, so you know he did a pretty good job of hitting for contact working the count deep so often. Anderson is a solid but not spectacular ballplayer. He had only 16 extra base hits, so it's not like his patience is equating into added power, but he does have the room to add more power given his smooth lefty swing. That mastery of the strike zone could allow Anderson to be bumped past Beloit & start 2004 in High Desert. If not, he probably will make it there or even higher before next season is over.

30. Robby Deevers-OF: .326/.384/.471 in 221 ABs with Helena
Deevers posted a higher OPS than both Trofholz & Anderson (.855 vs. .806 & .845 respectively), but isn't considered as good of a prospect. Deevers probably does have the strongest tool out of all of them given his extremely strong right arm. He also has the greatest power potential, but also has the most to work on. He walked too few times (17) and struck out too many (51) which probably doesn't translate as well as he moves up. Of the 3, I feel Deevers is probably the least likely to be bumped to High Desert, although his bat may play the best there given his power.

High school pitchers
I was a little surprised when I compiled these lists that the Brewers selected & signed only 5 prep pitchers. Most of these players were relatively well known, but none of them was considered a can't miss pitching prospect (if there is such a thing) heading into the 2003 draft. Basically, all of them are sleepers to succeed.

6. Robbie Wooley-RHP: 2.49 ERA, 31.2 innings pitched, 21 hits, 18 strikeouts, 7 walks with Arizona
Wooley's 2.49 ERA would have ranked 3rd in the Arizona Rookie League had he had enough innings to quality. He signed later in the summer, taking as much time as he needed to decide to join pro ball instead of attending Cincinnati. Wooley has the potential for a pretty good 1-2 punch with a good fastball & curveball. He likely will begin 2004 in Helena, although we saw the Brewers bump Tom Wilhelmsen up to Beloit last year after an impressive spring training, so crazier things have happened.

8. Ryan Marion-RHP: 4.55 ERA, 27.2 IP, 28 H, 29 K, 9 BB with Arizona
Marion is more of a thrower than a pitcher at this point in time, but he certainly has the size & the arm to succeed if he learns the finer aspects of pitching as he develops. Marion could very well be the hardest thrower from this year's draft, and he likely will find himself in Helena to begin 2004.

10. Tyler Morrison-RHP: 6.02 ERA, 40.1 IP, 58 H, 30 K, 9 BB with Arizona
Morrison's body is more physically advanced than most high schoolers, so he's not as ÒprojectableÓ as players such as Wooley & Hawk, but other aspects of his game likely are more advanced, such as his delivery & overall mechanics. That didn't help him in the Arizona Rookie League, as he seemed to get hit pretty hard despite not walking many batters. In fact, all of 4 of the Brewers' HS pitchers from the 2003 draft that played for Arizona did a good job minimizing the amount of free passes issued.

17. Tommy Hawk-RHP: 2.31 ERA, 46.2 IP, 47 H, 30 K, 17 BB with Arizona
Hawk led the Arizona Rookie League in ERA, signing early & having enough innings to qualify. I personally thought he might be a tough sign since he was committed to Cal State Fullerton, a perennial D1 powerhouse. His dream to play professional baseball would not be denied. Hawk could very well be the most projectable of all of our HS pitchers taken in this June's draft, and also might have the most impressive arsenal. Look for Hawk in Helena to begin Ô04, which could turn out to be an impressive staff with Hawk, Morrison, Marion & Wooley alone.

18. Oscar Montes-RHP: No statistics, signed a 2004 contract
Montes signed late in the summer, so your guess is as good as mine as to where he's going to end up & how well he's going to play. Will he follow in Wilhelmsen's footsteps this past year & debut in Beloit? That seems doubtful, as Montes is more likely to begin his career in Arizona. He's a big kid, with good stuff, so he could find himself on that Helena staff with a strong spring.

College pitchers
The Brewers selected & signed 10 arms from the college ranks. Half of them came on day 1 of the draft. Similar to the high school pitchers the Brewers selected, none of the guys were top flight prospects heading into draft day, but there are plenty of tools & attributes to work with.

7. Brian Montalbo-RHP: 3.18 ERA, 45.1 IP, 51 H, 30 K, 12 BB with Helena
Montalbo was actually drafted higher out of high school by the Braves (4th round) in 2000. His 3.18 ERA would have ranked 7th in the Pioneer League if he would have had enough innings to quality. He's big, athletic and has pretty good stuff, he just needs to work on his consistency & overall command. So far, so good, but again, he's going to need to be productive at higher levels before he's considered a legitimate prospect.

9. Greg Kloosterman-LHP: 3.28 ERA, 68.2 IP, 68 H, 76 K, 23 BB with Helena
Kloosterman & fellow lefty Carlos Ramirez stabilized the Helena rotation. His 3.28 ERA was good enough for 7th in the league. Kloosterman is very athletic as he doubled as a productive power hitting outfielder in college. His future as a pro is on the mound, and if he is able to iron out some mechanical issues, he may be able to have a promising future, and may even be able to add a few ticks to his fastball. Kloosterman could be bumped up to High Desert, but Beloit at this time seems more likely.

16. Mitch Stetter-LHP: 3.95 ERA, 54.2 IP, 55 H, 63 K, 12 BB with Helena
Stetter could be a sleeper with a good, athletic frame & good stuff. A back injury made Stetter somewhat of an unknown commodity entering the 2003 draft. Like Kloosterman, Stetter posted pretty good numbers at Helena, especially his K to BB ratio at 63 to 12 in almost 55 innings of work. Also like Kloosterman, Stetter is going to get every opportunity to succeed being a left-handed pitcher. Look for him in Beloit to begin 2004, although he could very well see High Desert or even higher depending on his success.

19. Ty Taubenheim-RHP: 2.15 ERA, 50.1 IP, 47 H, 44 K, 3 BB with Helena
Taubenheim might have the most impressive numbers of all Helena pitchers. Allowing only 3 walks in just over 50 innings of work is impressive almost regardless of the level of competition. Plus, he's only 1 year removed from high school, has the perfect pitcher's frame, an easy, athletic delivery & good stuff. Taubenheim is one of the more intriguing sleeper picks to watch in this draft. You can likely follow him at Beloit next year.

20. Nicholas Slack-RHP: 2.19 ERA, 24.2 IP, 13 H, 37 K, 6 BB with Helena
Slack along with teammate Dana Eveland formed a pretty impressive late inning bullpen. His ERA could be even less than what it was as he allowed less than 1 baserunner per inning while striking out about 1.5 batters an inning. Slack has a repertoire that could allow him to succeed as a starter, but his durability, desire & resiliency may cause him to remain in the bullpen. Slack could start at either Beloit or High Desert to open the Ô04 season.

27. Dan McKenna-RHP: 5.60 ERA, 17.2 IP, 20 H, 21 K, 7 BB with Helena
McKenna's ERA looks a little high in relationship to the amount of baserunners allowed, so he likely was a victim of bad luck and/or poor defense behind him. Regardless, that ERA is going to need to drop if he is going to be considered a prospect. He definitely has the stuff to succeed, as the Brewers see him as a short reliever/closer prospect with his mid-90s heat. McKenna likely will begin 2004 in Beloit.

28. Kenny Durost-RHP: 5.26 ERA, 51.1 IP, 67 H, 42 K, 16 BB with Helena
Durost got hit pretty hard in Helena, but at least he didn't give up too many free passes in the process. He gave up 9 long balls, which was good (or bad) enough for 3rd in the league. Durost is going to need to learn to keep the ball down while learning the finer aspects of pitching. He could be an organizational soldier, and will likely begin 2004 in Beloit.

29. Ricky Stover-LHP: 6.56 ERA, 23.1 IP, 25 H, 21 K, 15 BB with Helena
Those 15 walks stick out for Stover. He's a lefty with a good build & a pretty good fastball, but it seems as though he needs to develop the rest of his game if he's going to enjoy success at the pro level. As a college draftee, given his age, he has a lot to work on in a limited amount of time. Look for Stover in Beloit.

34. Dan Grybash-RHP: 2.82 ERA, 31.1 IP, 37 H, 31 K, 12 BB with Helena
The pride of Wisconsin in this draft, as Grybash was taken out of Carthage College in the 34th round. Grybash had a really good pro debut with Helena. He has a strong build, is an aggressive pitcher & knows how to pitch, so he certainly has a chance to succeed as he moves up the chain. He likely continues his progress next year in Beloit.

35. Phil Hendrix-RHP: 6.38 ERA, 24 IP, 34 H, 23 K, 7 BB with Helena
Hendrix got roughed up, but like several of the other pitchers taken in this draft he did a pretty good job limiting the amount of walks he allowed. He's probably getting too much of the plate given the amount of hits he's given up & his overall ERA. Hendrix likely will begin 2004 in Beloit.

Others
I don't mean to minimize these players importance given the ÒothersÓ title, but they just didn't fit easily within the categories I made for the purpose of this story. 2 of these players show Major League potential.

5. Bryan Opdyke-C: .272/.364/.388 in 103 ABs with Arizona
Opdyke started the season incredibly slow, batting below .200 for the first week or two. Finishing at .272 is a pleasant surprise, and he managed to draw walks all season long, exhibiting his strike zone discipline. He's very athletic, and bats left-handed. If he could stay behind the plate & continue to advance as a hitter, we could have a 2 legitimate catching prospects out of this draft. His defense does need work, but his athleticism should help him succeed with the proper determination & instruction. Look for Opdyke in Helena next year.

11. Adam Heether-3B: .228/.313/.345 in 171 ABs with Beloit
Heether was one of three 2003 draftees to spend the majority of his pro debut at Beloit. The other 2 were the highly acclaimed Rickie Weeks & Tony Gwynn Jr., so he's in good company. And while Heether didn't post the numbers to match these 2 players, he certainly proved that he is a baseball rat. He displayed good defense at the hot corner, including a strong arm. He also showed that he was willing to draw a walk despite not hitting very well. Heether could begin the 2004 season back in the Beloit, but I have a feeling he'll be bumped up to High Desert.

12. Carlos Corporan-C/1B/UT: .250/.278/.350 in 120 ABs with Arizona
Corporan was moved up to Helena in August to take the place of the injured Louis Palmisano. Corporan is a versatile player, having the ability to play almost anywhere on the field, and he also switch hits. No easy task for a man of his stature. While he's versatile, he isn't very good in any one area. He likely doesn't have enough power to stay at 1B, although it doesn't really matter with some of the names ahead of him in the system. His true value likely falls behind the plate, although he's going to need to prove he can hit, and will probably be given the chance to prove himself once again at Helena next year.

32. Will Lewis-2B: .242/.327/.354 in 99 ABs with Arizona
Lewis showed up to Helena after signing, only to be bumped down to Arizona due to injury. Lewis never got back on track, and was rather old for the Arizona Rookie League. As a 2B drafted out of college, it's hard to imagine Lewis as anything more than an organizational soldier at this point in time. Lewis will probably being 2004 in Helena, although he should be advanced enough of a player to handle a bump up to Beloit if they're in need of a 2B.

DFE (draft, follow & evaluate) signees, spring of 2003
While technically members of the 2002 draft, these 5 players fall under this category since they signed this year, and are closer to their Ô03 draftee counterparts given their progression.

15. (draft round in 2002) Justin Barnes-3B: .241/.283/.379 in 195 ABs with Helena
Barnes turned a lot of heads last spring, ranked as one of the top JC players for the 2003 draft had the Brewers not signed him as a DFE. He's very athletic, as the Brewers originally drafted him as a RHP with a good 1-2 fastball-curve punch, and many scouts felt he could have stuck at SS at the pro level. His power is his ticket to the big leagues, although he is very good defensively at the hot corner with a very strong arm. Barnes struggled at Helena this year, and really needs to work on his plate discipline by increasing his walks & decreasing his strikeouts. He still might be bumped up to Beloit to begin the 2004 season.

16. Dana Eveland-LHP: 2.08 ERA, 26 IP, 30 H, 41 K, 8 BB with Helena
Dana was named the most valuable relief pitcher in the Pioneer League after his impressive season as the team's closer, notching 14 saves, good for 2nd in the league. Eveland was also named the #9 prospect in the Pioneer League according to Baseball America. His fastball has added a few ticks over the last year, as he has been recorded in the 92-93 zone. He also shows a good breaking ball & a really good cut-fastball that acts like a slider. The Brewers wanted to take it easy on Eveland this summer after he threw so many innings for the College of the Canyons, which is why they put him in the bullpen for Helena. Look for Eveland back in the starting rotation next year at Beloit.

17. Adam Mannon-OF: .274/.353/.441 in 179 ABs with Arizona
The Brewers scouting department praised Adam Mannon's baseball body all spring. While he didn't post eye-popping numbers at familiar Chandler-Gilbert Community College, he showed them enough for them to offer him a pro contract to his liking. Mannon has the rare combination of speed & power, and displays a good arm from the OF. He projects as your prototypical RF. He started the year on fire at Arizona, but cooled off after time. He still finished the season with good overall numbers, displaying pretty good patience at the plate. Mannon likely will begin 2004 in Helena.

32. Simon Beresford-RHP: 5.28 ERA, 29 IP, 32 H, 19 K, 14 BB with Helena
Beresford's numbers at Helena look pretty close to his numbers at Texarkana College. He has the size & the stuff to succeed, but at this point in time he is definitely more of a thrower than a pitcher, and he's still giving up far too many baserunners to be successful. Beresford could start 2004 back in Helena.

34. Tim Dillard-RHP: 3.79 ERA, 35.2 IP, 36 H, 32 K, 5 BB with Arizona
Dillard was promoted to Helena pitching in 3 games (5 innings) before the Pioneer League playoffs. Dillard was drafted twice by the Brewers going back to 2001, so they must have been happy to finally add him to their organization. Originally drafted as a catcher, Dillard's size & stuff on the mound were too good to pass up. Melvin already stated that they really like Dillard because he's a sinkerball pitcher, something the Brewers want to focus on given how much balls fly out to the alleys in Miller Park. Dillard showed pinpoint control with the baby Brewers, and continued that success with Helena. Depending on his progress in spring training, Dillard is likely to be moved up to Beloit or continue at Helena to begin Ô04.

DFE candidates, spring of 2004
This list isn't final, but it should be close to accurate. I haven't heard where all of these players are going to school, or even if the existing JC players are going back to the schools in which they were drafted from. I will be sure to keep everyone posted at some point early next year with my usual DFE article.

16. Joel Rivera-CF-no word on JC
25. Jared Theodorakos-LHP-returning to Baylor after receiving a redshirt year of eligibility due to injury as a 5th-year senior
26. Hasan Rasheed-CF-likely returning to Lake City CC
31. Sheldon Catchot-LHP-attending Chipola JC
33. Chad Miller-1B-attending Chandler-Gilbert CC
37. Justin Miller-LHP-attending CGCC
38. Brent Weaver-RHP-no word on JC
39. Wesley Yeary-RHP-no word on JC
40. Robert Hinton-RHP-no word on JC
41. Peter Baubles-C-no word on JC
44. Rayner Robles-Encarnacion-2B/3B-no word on JC

As far as I can tell, these players can no longer be signed by the Brewers & are not eligible for the DFE process.

13. Luke Cannon-OF-could return to the University of North Central Texas
14. Garrett Bussiere-C-planned to attend University of California-Berkeley
21. Taylor Meier-RHP-planned to attend Central Florida University
23. Jon Mungle-OF-could return to Mississippi State
36. Joe Ayers-SS-planned to attend Stanford

2004 Draft
Now onto next year. Last year I wrote an entire article at this time of year looking ahead to last year's draft and what changes might come with the structure of the draft given the new collective bargaining agreement. Those changes never happened, and for now I'm simply going to assume that those proposed changes have been swept under the carpet.

As for our draft placement, if everything holds at this point in time (9/22/03), the Brewers will draft 5th in next year's draft as the team with the 3rd worse record in the National League. Only the Mets & Padres are worse, and even if the Brewers tie with the Reds or anyone else in the standings, the tie-breaker is awarded to the team that had the worse record, or the higher pick, the year before, meaning the Brewers win all tie-breakers as the worse NL team from 2002. Keep in mind that draft picks alternate between leagues.

Next year's crop looks to be heavy with college arms. 3-5 different college hurlers could easily be the #1 prospect available for next year's draft, as scouting publications often change their minds as to who the #1 is. There are a few college positional prospects in the mix, however with lingering questions whether it be about their productivity, overall talent, health, or a little of everything. Here are my top 10 college players, which is sure to change by the time I officially launch by draft coverage early next year:

1. Jered Weaver-RHP-Long Beach State
2. Justin Verlander-RHP-Old Dominion
3. Wade Townsend-RHP-Rice
4. Jeff Niemann-RHP-Rice
5. Stephen Drew-SS-Florida State
6. Jeremy Sowers-LHP-Vanderbilt
7. Phillip Humber-RHP-Rice
8. Tyler Lumsden-LHP-Clemson
9. Jeremy Slayden-OF-Georgia Tech
10. Micah Owings-RHP/1B-Georgia Tech

5 more to note: Chris Lambert (RHP-Boston College), Wes Whisler (1B/LHP-UCLA), Jeff Larish (1B/3B-Arizona St.), Justin Orenduff (RHP-VA. Commonwealth), Matt Durkin (RHP-San Jose State)

The high school crop doesn't have that legitimate #1 prospect, as we're likely going to see several guys swap out of the top spot between now & next June. There are several intriguing power arms to follow, and a couple of 2-way SS/RHPs. At this point in time, there is no Delmon Young or even Lastings Milledge, although Michael Taylor is an exciting 5-tool OF prospect that could be similar to Ryan Harvey, last year's 6th pick overall. Here are my top 10 high school players:

1. Chris Nelson-SS/RHP-Georgia
2. Matt Bush-SS/RHP-California
3. Nick Adenhart-RHP-Maryland
4. Andy Gale-RHP-New Hampshire
5. Homer Bailey-RHP-Texas
6. Jay Rainville-RHP-Rhode Island
7. Michael Taylor-OF-Florida
8. Mark Rogers-RHP-Maine
9. Erik Davis-RHP-California
10. Greg Golson-OF-Texas

5 more to note: Mike Rozier (LHP-GA), Chuck Lofgren (OF/LHP-CA), Neil Walker (C-PA), Kenn Kasparek (RHP-TX), Troy Patton (LHP-TX), plus one more, Eric Cordier (RHP-WI)
