Swinging hard at everything it seems, which has helped boost his power and hurt his plate discipline |

Hardy, J.J. |

R |

Has to be one of the few major league players in the modern era to not strike out in his first 40+ ABs |

Capellan, Jose |
MLB |

R |
R |

Must keep concentrating on getting into a groove with his curveball, because he won't be a starter in the bigs on the power of his fastball alone |

Krynzel, Dave |

To his credit, Dave did everything expected of him this spring and took the demotion to AAA like a man |

De La Rosa, Jorge |

Effectively wild in long relief with the Crew, but if his control doesn't get much better, he's going to be effectively stuck in the bullpen for a long time |

Parra, Manny |

Brad has decided taking walks is a fun thing to do (he leads the system with 16) |

Eveland, Dana |

My only worry about Dana right now is his propensity to give up a few too many well-hit balls |

Rogers, Mark |

Cruz, Nelson |

It won't be much longer before Cruz forces the Brewers to promote him to Nashville, and that's where he should of started anyway |

Sarfate, Dennis |
MLB |

R |
R |

It's a fine line with Dennis: he's now catching much more of the strike zone with his pitches, but he's getting hit a little harder... he has to find the medium |

Pena, Luis |
A |

R |

The Brewers may be looking for Luis to fill out his frame more than anything else over the course of the season - gaining around 10-15 pounds would do wonders for the guy |

Housman, Jeff |

So-so with Nashville and the question of Housman finally hitting the talent wall will keep being asked the longer he has trouble with AAA batters |

Crabbe, Callix |

Callix knows how to play the small man's game without a doubt, and he'll keep knocking on that second base door, despite Weeks being the future incumbent |

I'm sure my year long campaign to get Ty in a rotation had something with Ty being in the rotation with the Manatees |

I don't know if it is more weird that Nick is repeating A+ ball or if he is getting shelled in a more pitch-friendly league |

The key for Villanueva is to keep the ball down and get grounders - when he's on, he's very, very good |

The only West Virginia player batting over .300, Lewis should be moved up a level once he gets some more outfield experience |
