2:36 Anyone standing out for the Brewers in extended spring training?

 

Eric A Longenhagen

2:37 Jean Carmona. Has slimmed down, was spraying good velo when I saw him earlier this week. Je"von Ward also looking more comfortable at the plate.

Chad McClanahan just smacked a fly-ball triple to LCF off a 94 mph fastball from Thomas located at the letters. Smooth stroke; just went with it with 2 strikes. Lean, tall athlete with a ton of projection. #Brewers

McClanahan seems to be getting some good press this spring. Other than drawing walks, he's been horrible his first two years. He's now repeating rookie ball, so let's hope he starting to figure it out.
