Gallardo, Yovani |

For Yo, the #1 spot on the Power 50 was about as inevitable as another one of his dominant starts... Gallardo really doesn't have any major things he needs to work on before he gets to the bigs - as long as he stays healthy (fingers crossed), it is probably we'll see him towards the end of next year with the big club |

Nothing against you Corey, but could you please get off of my Power 50? (You need 21 more ABs) |

Yet more of the same for Nelson, who'll be within range of 30 doubles and 30 jacks at the end of the year |

Pitched alright in his seven-start callup to Milwaukee, but it is clear Zach Jack needs to work on his breaking stuff before taking anohter shot at it |

A number one pick, a high school right-handed pitcher, a big fastball, a great athelete, an inconsistent but potentially plus slider - where have I heard this before? |

Non-descript AA campaign turned into a pretty nice little 3-start stint in Milwaukee and Carlos looks like he has what it takes to get back to Milwaukee - he really impressed me |

3rd-rounder is a prime candidate to get fast-tracked... Cole has solid tools across the board, but will any develop into something more so he can make an impact at the big-league level some day? |

I'm still confused as to why the Brewers haven't hung with Vinny more behind the plate - his value would increase exponentially if he could develop into even an average catcher |

If Lou can't get the batting average up by the end of the year, it'll be interesting to see if the Brewers will move him up next year anyway - they would really like to have someone in house to have a chance to replace Damien Miller |

Wahpepah, Josh |

Has been very inconsistent lately, often leaving before the fifth and walking a bad number of guys in those starts... Josh doesn't have the electric stuff to get away with that, so hopefully it is a passing thing |

After the season the Brewers need to hook Mike up with a GNC credit card and tell him to go to town - even he could even develop average power he'd be a stud at the plate |

Eventually either one or both of either Braun or Gamel will be moved off of third and right now, if just one of them were to be moved, it would be Mat |

Batting average has taken a bit of a nosedive since his return from the DL - this must be sort of a dissapointing year for Kenny, as I'm sure he had hoped to be in Brevard by now |
