I hope everyone is enjoying their Labor Day weekend. Here are a few news and notes for everyone:
According to Tom Haudricourt of The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (click here for the post) is reporting that the Brewers will call-up 10 players tomorrow, including some of their top prospects in Gamel, Escobar and Salome. The guy who I could see getting the most playing time is Salome, since they are currently using Kendall behind the plate, but time will tell. The players coming up are:
Mat Gamel (3B)
Alcides Escobar (SS)
Angel Salome (C)
Brad Nelson (1B)
Mitch Stetter (P)
Tim Dillard (P)
Mark DiFelice (P)

Dontrelle Willis (P)

This is a new feature I will be doing on occasion here on the site in the afternoons. It will not be everyday. It’s just going to be a quick projection for a player for the 2008 season. Nothing fancy, just the facts. The series gets kicked off looking at Roy Halladay.
Roy Halladay has been the model of consistency the past two seasons. He’s not over-powering and will not pile up the strikeouts, but he’s going to provide your team an above average WHIP and ERA while chipping ...
