2  39 Villanueva, Froilan   A   C 34 R R   OBP is perilously close to being under .300 2  40 Richardson, Judd   A   SP 33 L R   Is in quite the extended rehab assignment 2  41 Walker, Edwin   A   SP 29 R L   Hopefully, Ed has shown enough in rookie ball that Ogden will be forthcoming next season  42 Osting, Jimmy   A   SP 36 R L   Realized he was hurt all the sudden when he got to Milwaukee 3  43 Melo, Manuel   A   CF 31 R R   As a potential leadoff hitter, Manuel needs to be drawing more walks and making better contact new  45 Ramirez, Carlos   A   SP 28 L L   Take out his first two starts and his ERA is 2.47 4  46 Bibbs, Kennard   A   RF 33 L L   Can be a very pesky hitter, but Beloit's pitching environment will test his bat new  47 Adams, Mike   MLB   CL 34 R R   The Brewers are incredibly high on this undrafted free agent, and the stats give merit to that new  48 Stavros, Tony   A   CL 32 R R   This undrafted free agent makes his Power 50 debut after allowing no earned runs in July  49 Mendoza, Gabriel   A   MR 31 L L   Could jump right to Beloit next season new  50 Crabbe, Callix   A   UT 30 S R   2002's Ralph Santana isn't quite as quick, but has a more powerful batting stroke Players removed this week: Roberto Maysonet... Taylor McCormack... Ryan Miller... Matt Parker... Jaisen Randolph...
