Had him on there originally.... dominated minors, rocked in mlb, dad posting all the time. Angel Salome’s HS coach is missed, he was a great poster close to a player on here.

Here is my top 10 pitchers I was sure were going to turn into top end starters or high leverage relievers for the Brewers. Lots of careers cut short by injuries, while some had success with other teams or in other countries. If you go back and look at Toby's Power 50 (http://www.brewerfan.net/ViewPower50Archive.do), it gives you the ages of these guys... but look at your own risk. Seeing how old these one time future starts are can make a person feel a bit on the old side.

 

1. Nick Neugebauer

2. JM Gold

3. Mike Jones

4. Manny Parra

5. Dana Eveland

6. Luis Martinez

7. Mark Rogers

8. Dennis Sarfate

9. Tom Wilhelmsen

10. Jose Cappellan

That top ten is enough to make a person give up on pitchers altogether, BSCR.

Jose Mieses

[BillScottCanRake]

Poor Jose Mieses...

 

108 innings as a 21-year old rookie at R+ ball. Then 169 innings the next year in A and A+ ball; only 43 innings at 23 at four level (R, R+, AA and AAA), missed his age 24 season, out of baseball at 25, unsuccessful comeback at age 26.

You've got to wonder how much his innings jump between his 21 and 22 year old seasons might have affected his career.

Brian Passini...

 

Caught my eye with a 2.91 ERA with the El Paso Diablos (who had a notorious hitter's park - even made the Washington Post in the 1980s) back in the 1990s. Figured he'd be a mainstay of the rotation...

 

https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=passin001bri

 

Probably one of the first lefty starters that I grew to love as a hidden gem of one sort or another... from Passini to Nance to Suter to Roegner/Sunitch...

You didn't mention Jeff Pickler and that makes me sad.

Pickler was one of the first OBP/speed guys I liked at second base. Hated that he never got his shot.

While 2002 was sad, 2006 included 6 full-time starters:

 

1. Prince Fielder

3. Ryan Braun

4. Yo Gallardo

5. Corey Hart

6. Alcides Escobar

8. Nelson Cruz

 

Of the six listed above, only Yo wasn't named an All-Star at least once, and of the 10, only Will Inman never played in the Majors. Not a bad group...

[clancyphile]

Hall and Hardy both had good years from that 2002 list, but the rest...

 

Man, injury, bad luck...
