Use the Internet to learn about the history of baseball, from baseball drafts to baseball drills.     Power 50 +/- Rank  Name  Level  Pos  Age  B  T   01 Neugebauer, Nick   A   SP 32 R R   Mixed results so far in Milwaukee but his arm is drawing rave reviews and comparisons to Josh Beckett  02 Jones, Mike   A   MR 30 R R   As with all young pitchers Mike has to learn to be around the plate more and not give up so many walks  03 Krynzel, Dave   MLB   CF 31 L L   Cutting down on strikeouts is step one in the next phase of Dave's development  04 Hall, Billy   MLB   3B 33 R R   A good week followed by a bad week but is still playing well overall  05 Hendrickson, Ben   MLB   SP 32 R R   High walk totals are kind of surprising but he is still keeping the ball down well  06 Belcher, Jason   A   RF 31 L R   Still not throwing out a good percentage of runners although his bat is heating up  07 Guerrero, Cristian   MLB   RF 32 R R   Has played a bit of centerfield so far and if he shows he can play there is all the more valuable  08 Hardy, J.J.   MLB   SS 30 R R   Has made the Brewers look smart by hitting well so far after bypassing Beloit 3  09 Nelson, Brad   A   1B 30 L R   Is just oozing power but needs to try and draw some more walks and cut down on bad swings 1  10 Mieses, Jose   A   SP 35 R R   Still no word on Jose's return 2  11 Gold, J.M.   A   SP 33 R R   Should be back on the hill in High Desert in about a month 2  12 Yeatman, Matt   A   MR 30 R R   Has made some big strides since last season and should move into the top 10 pretty soon 2  13 Hart, Corey   MLB   OF 31 R R   The big difference between Corey and Sexson is that Corey makes good contact, which he is doing thusfar 4  14 Clark, D.J.   A   LF 33 L R   Slumping at the plate to begin the season although he still is drawing walks 4  15 Melian, Jackson   MLB   CF 33 R R   Walked 8 times in 7 games last week and if he starts hitting for power Jackson could be dangerous 5  16 Scott, Bill   A   1B 34 R R   Would benefit greatly if he were allowed to play everyday instead of intermittently 1  18 Martinez, Luis   MLB   SP 33 L L   Getting smoked in Huntsville but probably wouldn't be doing any better in High Desert bandbox 3  19 Steitz, Jon   A   MR 32 R R   Has been amazingly inconsistant pitch to pitch so far this spring and early season 1  20 Villanueva, Froilan   A   C 34 R R   If he just took a few more walks Florian could well be in the top 10 1  21 Johnson, Kade   A   C 34 R R   Getting himself into playing shape down in Arizona and should arrive in Huntsville within a month  22 Sanchez, Alex   MLB   CF 36 L L   About a month or so away from graduating off of the Power 50  23 Deardorff, Jeff   A   LF 34 R R   Needs to develop some other tool besides power  24 Childers, Matt   A   MR 34 R R   I'd get down on Matt for his bad start to the season but who knows what he will do next  25 Oakes, Gerry   A   SP 31 R R   Needs to get more work in down in Beloit  26 Artman, Dane   A   SP 30 L L   Uninspiring start to the season 2  27 Alfonzo, Elie   A   C 34 R R   As is the running theme, Eli would be a whole lot better if he drew walks 2  28 Richardson, Judd   A   SP 33 L R   One good start and one bad start so far but I am really liked what I saw from Judd during spring 1  29 Santana, Ralph   A   2B 31 S R   Having playing time taken away from him by Scott Candelaria is a travesty 3  30 Parker, Matt   A   SP 34 R R   Still getting shellacked in Huntsville  31 Chavez, Ozzie   AA   IF 29 S R   Slow start to the season but that can be expected from a guy his age  32 Soriano, Carlos   A   RF 34 R R   Belongs in Beloit over Hector Garcia 2  33 Randolph, Jaisen   A   CF 34 S R   Little speedster could be another CF weapon for the Brewers to use in the near future 1  34 Maysonet, Roberto   A   SP 33 R R   Holding his ERA down well but all those walks will come back to get him eventually 3  35 Carrow, Tommy   A   CF 31 R R   My good faith in the Brewers has been restored with the addition of Tommy to the Beloit roster  36 Poe, Ryan   A   SP 35 R R   About 2 months from returning to the mound for Huntsville 2  37 Nielsen, Brian   A   MR 31 L L   If he keeps pitching solidly like he is he could pass Artman in no time 3  38 Henderson, Eric   A   MR 33 L L   Kind of a forgotten commodity last season is beginning to prove he was worth a 3rd round selection 2  39 Plasencia, Francisco   A   CF 28 L L   It would be nice to see him in Beloit this season 6  40 Barnwell, Chris   A   IF 34 R R   Struggling at the plate so far this season and could lose his fulltime 3B job to Villanueva sooner or later 1  41 Castillo, Geraldo   A   MR 31 R R   Could be the next pitcher called up to Beloit 1  42 Cesar, Dionys   A   UT 36 L R   Just keeps chugging along in AAA and trying to get the Brewers' attention new  43 Knox, Ryan   A   CF 35 R R   Making the Brewers look silly for demoting him to High Desert  44 Hinton, Travis   AA   1B 32 L L   Has a good bat with decent power but needs some defensive work and might end up at first 5  45 Gordon, Justin   A   MR 34 L L   Really stuggling with the confines in High Desert and it's not going to get easier as it gets warmer 3  46 West, Todd   AAA   2B 34 R R   Hit almost .400 last week 1  47 Scarborough, Steve   A   SS 35 R R   Just about the only good thing going for Huntsville in week 1 went south in week 2 1  48 Cordero, Victor   A   MR 34 R R   Just needs to make it through the season in High Desert and then should thrive in Huntsville 4  49 Penney, Mike   A   MR 36 R R   If he isn't back he will probably drop back off of the radar screen 4  50 Hammond, Derry   A   RF 33 R R   Yikes: 24 strikeouts in 51 at-bats and Derry is losing playing time Players removed this week: Jimmy Osting...
