For the third straight day, Gamel is the Southern League Prospect of the Day in BA's Daily Dish, sharing the honor with Alcides Escobar:

Huntsville prospects Alcides Escobar and Mat Gamel (Brewers) each had a big day. Hitting back-to-back in the order, Escobar and Gamel each produced two doubles. The...

I don't believe Periard actually pitched for AZ in 2005, wasn't that the year he couldn't get into the country due to visa issues?

Baseball-reference, thebaseballcube and our Brewerfan.net page indicate he pitched 28.1 innings that year. I recall the visa issue, so maybe his debut was delayed.

With all the talk of top prospects getting traded, it must be noted that beyond the tremendous H-Ville team, the Brewers might be able to draw upon some of their organizational depth and back-up at certain positions, all the while not hampering any of their minor league clubs. Periard might actually have some surprising value to other clubs that do not need a quick fix or go solely on mph when evaluating

Have the Brewers ever had an Arizona squad that wasn't horrible? Anyone ever resembling a prospect ever come out of there?

I was wondering this as well, so I looked it up. The Arizona Brewers restarted in 2001. The best season (in terms of W-L) was the first year in 2001 when they went 27-29. Yup, never had a winning record in 7 going on 8 years.

In terms of propsects, several pro...

Missoula got off to another big start on Tuesday night, but this time the Helena Brewers wouldn't let them hold on to it.

Helena (7-8) rallied back from a 5-0 deficit to nearly double-up the Osprey 15-8 one day after three Missoula pitchers combined for a no-hitter against the Brewers.

The big fella Katin with his 4th triple of the season - pretty impressive athleticism for a 6'1" 235lb dude. Supposedly has a great arm. Man, just a little more plate discipline and ol' "Gorman Deer" might be a top 10 prospect. Hard thing to teach, I know, but I'm not going to give up on him quite yet. Depending on how some teams look at him, he like Narron could be a "throw-in with value", especially to a team desperate for power willing to take a chance...
