Josh Prince Commands Attention With Strong Offensive Numbers and Defensive Versatility
Ranking second in the league in hitting with a .403 batting average and recording 31 hits in 21 games is cause for notice at the Arizona Fall League. When combined with playing six different positions in the field, you can make yourself one of the most talked about players in the league.
The Brewers Josh Prince has made the most of his opportunities in the Arizona Fall League in the field and at the plate.
"I've played third base, second base, left field, right field and center field " Prince said of his defensive positions during the Fall League. "I came up through the organization as a shortstop so I know I can play there as well. Being versatile is big. If you look in baseball there are not a lot of players that can play (all those positions). It really helps my chances of getting there (to the big leagues)."
The Brewers drafted Prince as a shortstop in the third round of the 2009 First Year Player Draft out of Tulane University. He first worked with Brewers outfield/baserunning instructor Reggie Williams on proper positioning in Spring Training and continued in the outfield at Double-A Huntsville. His extended season in Arizona has also given him many opportunities to work on defense.
"He has had a very good year," said Darnell Coles, Huntsville Stars manager and Phoenix Desert Dogs hitting coach. "Coming from playing shortstop to the outfield this year is tough. A lot of it was learning on the spot and he is still learning but he has done a very good job as an outfielder. Being able to play these positions adds value to our organization and to him as a player. If a guy gets hurt, you know he can fill in defensively wherever and you don't have to worry about it. Plus his bat and base running are great."
Coles has worked with Prince all year in Huntsville and has help develop his swing to a comfortable point as his offensive numbers show.
"I've been working with Darnell on flattening out my swing and giving myself better opportunities to get hits when I am a little tardy or a little early," Prince said. "I just want to be able to stay through the ball. That is the biggest reason why I have had success here."
Brewers President of Baseball Operations and General Manager Doug Melvin also likes what he has seen from Prince at the Arizona Fall League and compared his defensive versatility to that of Jerry Hairston.
"His bat has really taken off this fall," Melvin said. "He is a very aggressive baserunner–a high energy guy. His versatility is going to be his calling card to get to the big leagues."
Prince hit .251 with seven home runs and 55 RBI during the 2012 regular season at Huntsville with a .346 OBP and .360 slugging percentage. Both his OBP (.489) and slugging percentage (.588) currently rank in the top four in the Arizona Fall League.
"It's been awesome out here," Prince said of his Fall League experience. "The weather is great, the baseball talent here is amazing and we are having fun too. The coaches are making this fun and enjoyable for us while at the same time teaching us. I'm happy I am putting up the numbers I am, but I'm constantly working on getting better."
For Prince that work will continue through the offseason into the winter.
"There is no time for rest," Prince said. "I'll get home, hit the gym and start working out. With playing in this league, there is not much time for rest. I have missed some time in the gym and need to make up for that conditioning I have lost to prepare myself for a full season next year."
Chances are most Brewers fans have not seen the type of game that Prince plays, but he described his play on the field as exciting.
"First and foremost, I want people to know me as a follower of Jesus Christ," Prince said. "I know that He is the guy I play for and I want people to remember me for that. On the field, I want Brewers fans to know me as a guy who is versatile and a guy that can run. I like to steal bases, I like to try to get on base and score runs for the team. I feel like I can play anywhere and do a good job at any of those positions."
With the combination of Prince's ability to run, his defensive versatility and the offensive numbers he has put up during the Arizona Fall League, Brewers fans might be seeing this exciting player at Miller Park very soon.

Khris Davis Looking to Continue to Grow as a Hitter
Despite an early season injury, Khris Davis had a breakout year in 2012. The Brewers' 7th round draft pick in the 2009 First Year Player Draft joined Double-A Huntsville after recovering from a calf injury. With the Stars, he hit .383 with eight home runs and 23 RBI in 44 games. The injury nagged him throughout the season, but he battled through and earned a promotion to Triple-A Nashville late in the year.
"My season had its ups and downs," Davis said. "That is just baseball, it's a roller coaster ride. You have to learn to get through it all and I think I did that and performed well."
With the Sounds, the outfielder hit .310 with four home runs and 24 RBI. Over his last 45 games of the 2012 season between Huntsville and Nashville, Davis recorded hits in 37 of those games (.365, 60-for-164).
"He's just gradually gotten better each year," said Darnell Coles, manager of the Huntsville Stars and hitting coach for the Phoenix Desert Dogs in the Arizona Fall League. "He is one of the best players in the organization at hitting through the middle. He got hurt a little bit during the beginning of the year, but came back from that strong. He didn't stop hitting in Double-A and moved up to Triple-A where he hit as well."
Brewers President of Baseball Operations and General Manager Doug Melvin also had good things to say about Davis' development.
"He is one of the most disciplined hitters in our organization," Melvin said. "He has some good power, too. We haven't really seen it during the Fall League, but we know it is there."
Fortunately, Davis has the opportunity to continue to grow as a hitter here at the Arizona Fall League. Working every day with Coles and playing against top competition for six weeks will certainly benefit Davis' development.
"I feel like there is always room for improvement when it comes to hitting," Davis said. "No one is as good as they want to be. There is still a lot of work to be done as far as my work and study as a hitter."
Currently in the Fall League, Davis is hitting .226 with six RBI.
"I wanted to work on cutting back on my strikeouts and being more aggressive earlier in the counts and not take as many pitches," Davis said of his goals while at the Arizona Fall League. "I feel if I get ahead early, it works to my advantage as a hitter."
Davis, who was drafted out of Cal State-Fullerton, is participating in his first Arizona Fall League, but makes his offseason residence in Phoenix and went to high school in the area at Deer Valley. He has previously participated in Brewers winter conditioning programs and plans on remaining in the area and working out at the Brewers Maryvale complex before Spring Training.
"The Brewers winter programs have been great for me," Davis said. "There is always a lot of one-on-one attention there and that is always good. To be in front of their eyes working is beneficial to me as a player."
He doesn't plan on taking much of a break after the league wraps up next week.
"I want to get in the weight room and work on my strength," Davis said. "I don't want to take too much time off. We don't have the luxury to do that as the sport is year-round. There isn't much of a break; you need to have a special mindset in the offseason to prepare for the next season."
Until then, Davis has another week in the Arizona Fall League and another week for some one-on-one coaching with Coles.
"He has got a chance to be a special hitter in the big leagues," Coles said of Davis. "For him, it is now just a process of continuing to grow and understand himself as a hitter."
Hellweg Turning Up The Heat in Arizona Fall League
Post updated with photos.
In what was one of the biggest trades in Major League Baseball during the 2012 regular season, the Brewers acquired RHP Johnny Hellweg from the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. The 6 foot, 9 inch pitcher is known for his fastball, but one can't ignore his height. It is hard to believe that Hellweg was only 6-5 when drafted by the Angels in 2008.
"I had a growth spurt after being drafted and that kind of disrupted my delivery for a bit," Hellweg said. "There would be mornings I would get up and the ground would seem farther away, there were a lot of weird things like that. But I have grown into my body now and I'm used to it. I have a consistent release point, I'm starting to get there and I'm able to repeat my delivery better now that I have stopped growing."
Hellweg started the season as a starter for Double-A Arkansas of the Texas League. There, he went 5-10 with a 3.38 ERA in 21 starts. After the July 27 trade that sent him to the Brewers organization, Hellweg joined the Huntsville Stars. The Brewers showed concern about his innings and shut him down after two starts and five relief appearances. Over seven appearances with the Stars, Hellweg was 2-1 with a 2.70 ERA.
"Hellweg has been lighting up the gun pretty good (in Arizona)," Brewers President – Baseball Operations and General Manager Doug Melvin said. "He has a good head on his shoulders. It took him some time to get used to his height, but now he knows where he is at and he has been throwing very well."
Melvin also added that it has been good to see Hellweg pitch out of the bullpen while at the Fall League, a role he is adjusting to, but enjoys since his fastball is one of his best pitches. During the Rising Stars Game on Saturday, Hellweg hit 99 miles per hour on a few of his pitches and says he can turn it up to triple digits if needed.
"I throw a lot of fastballs and have a good breaking ball and have been working on my changeup too," Hellweg said. "I like to challenge with my fastball. I know I have a pretty good fastball, which is what I have to keep telling myself. Sometimes a lot of pitchers give hitters a lot of credit, but hitting is hard and it is a lot harder to hit when pitches are coming in really fast. I have to remember that and keep firing them in there."
Hellweg is 0-0 with a 2.00 ERA (9ip/2er) in six appearances out of the bullpen. He has held batters to a .233 average (7-for-30).
"I'm really down here just trying to work on maintaining a consistent delivery," Hellweg said. "I feel really good with it right now. I've been taking notes, jotting a few things down and keep it fresh for spring. Just throwing strikes and knowing what I need to do to continue to throw strikes and place the ball."
No matter where Hellweg ends up the 2013 season—Double-A, Triple-A, bullpen or starting role—he is excited to have an opportunity here at the Fall League and excited about the Brewers organization.
"Doug and Gord Ash have been great, I'm excited to be a Brewer, it is a great organization," Hellweg said. "I look forward to getting to Milwaukee and I am going to continue to work hard to get there. I'm a Midwest boy so I'm happy to be a part of the organization."
Hunter Morris Concludes His Dream Season With Arizona Fall League Invite
Hopefully Hunter Morris has a nice trophy case at home because the list of awards he received in 2012 is quite long.
Southern League Most Valuable Player, Brewers Minor League Player of the Year, Topps Southern League Player of the Year, Rawlings Minor League Gold Glove Award–just to name a few.
It might sound cliché, but Morris credits his on field success this year to old-fashioned hard work.
"It was a long process and a lot of work went into what I accomplished this year," Morris said. "I think it was a combination of things as far as success on the field. I have put in a lot of work defensively and that helped my all-around game, but l certainly didn't take any days off from working on my offense and maintaining my swing.
The awards were a byproduct of hard work. There were certainly a lot of guys who were deserving of those awards I received. I consider myself lucky and fortunate to be on the receiving end of those awards."
Morris nearly had a Triple Crown as he led the Southern League in home runs (28), RBI (113), hits (158), slugging percentage (.563), total bases (294) and extra-base hits (74). He finished fourth in the league with a .303 batting average.
"My consistency throughout the year was the biggest blessing I had," Morris said. "If something went wrong, I was able to fix it within a few at bats or a game or two. Keeping those peaks and valleys to a minimum as far as the success and the struggles is important. I was able to go out and focus on playing hard, rather than over-thinking things. It was easy to relax and play."
Not only did Morris turn in stellar numbers at the plate, but his fielding was an important part to his MVP season. He had a .995 fielding percentage and committed only six errors in 136 games played.
"Hunter has improved a lot defensively," said Brewers President – Baseball Operations and General Manager, Doug Melvin. "He looks a lot more fluid out there at first base. His work with Bob Miscik, our roving infield instructor throughout the year was key and the repetitions he has received at the Fall League will continue to help. We debated sending Morris to the Fall League because of the season we had, but the competition is good for him and will help him cap off a great year."
Morris also credits Huntsville Stars Manager Darnell Coles—who is in Arizona serving as Hitting Coach for the Phoenix Desert Dogs—with a lot of extra defensive work this month.
"Working with Darnell has been great," Morris said. "He has really worked hard with me on getting better defensively, he has done everything I could have asked of him. He played some first base in his career, understands the position and helped me out a ton. My defense can always get better and I want to get better throughout my career."
A unique part of Morris' dream season was the fact that it took place in his hometown of Huntsville, Ala. often in front of family and friends.
"Having the season I had in front of my family and friends at home certainly made it a little more special," Morris said. "Baseball is baseball, you have to go out and play no matter if you are 3,000 miles away from home or in your own backyard like I was, but it was certainly nice to be home with my wife and son every day.
That was a huge blessing for me, but at the same time, it kind of takes away from baseball. There were days when I was taking my son to doctor's appointments at 8 a.m. on game day when my teammates were sleeping in. Fortunately, I was able to put my family first and still have that proper balance of performing well on the field and focusing on baseball. I loved every minute of being able to spend the season with my family, it was great."
Entering today in Arizona, Morris was hitting .268 with one home run and six RBI, modest numbers compared to what he put up during the regular season, but Morris has played over 160 games since Spring Training and he is focusing on how to fight through the fatigue of a long season.
"I have struggled a bit at the plate out here, but that is probably a product of having played baseball since February 10th of this year," Morris said. "That is also one of the learning curves I need to go through to train myself to get through 162 or 175 games instead of 140 games. I'm preparing myself to get through longer seasons. It's not going to happen overnight, but being here helps me work through struggles. I'm just trying to build on the season I had, there is not a whole lot I am looking to change from the year."
This is Morris' second stint in the Arizona Fall League. The Brewers drafted him in 2010 and he received an invite from the club to play after his first professional season.
"Certainly a lot more twists and turns a few years ago, but this was my first truly long season that I have had. Last year and the 2010 season is nowhere near the length of time that I have been playing this year. It is a great situation for me to come out here and play with a lot of great guys, build relationships, make friends and work on fundamentals. The experience as a whole, you are getting something out of it no matter how you perform."
It seems as though Morris will make the move up to Triple-A Nashville from his hometown Huntsville Stars in 2013, but he is not taking anything for granted at this point.
"A lot of that is out of my control," Morris said. "I'm going to go home, take a week off, pick up right after Thanksgiving and get in the weight room to work on conditioning. It will be a short offseason, so I have a lot to accomplish in a short amount of time. I'd like to be in better shape come Spring Training, which can be a challenge, but I plan on going home, working hard and continuing to build on this season."

Arizona Fall League Matures in 20th Anniversary Season
The Arizona Fall League continues to help develop Major League talent every year. The developmental league, just winding down a six-week schedule in the Phoenix area, is in its 20th year. Brewers President of Baseball Operations and General Manager Doug Melvin and Vice President – Assistant General Manager Gord Ash have each seen the league grow since day one.
"The league itself is very well scouted and an important stepping stone for future Major Leaguers," Melvin said. "We send all of our scouts there knowing that this is one of the top developmental leagues. It will continue to be the top developmental league for years to come because of the competition involved."
When Major League organizations take seven top prospects and send them to take part in this league, the competition is very high. Teams are in the homestretch of a 32-game schedule. Games are held six-days a week around the Phoenix-area.
"The level of competition is what makes the league so important to the development of these players," Ash said. "They aren't playing a regular season game; there is an elite level of competitive talent there. It's not just a game either; there is work and practice too which helps fundamentals. There is no travel which decreases stress for players, you are in one place and focused on baseball."
Each organization send scouts to games throughout the league to view this level of competition. Seeing these players play in the Arizona Fall League helps teams come assess what opponents have in their developmental system and comes in handy around the trade deadline.
Take the Brewers mid-season trade with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim that sent Zack Greinke to the Angels. One of the key players in the trade, Jean Segura, played in the Fall League last year and was seen by Brewers scouts.
"Segura is a good example of a player we saw in the Fall League last year and liked," Melvin said. "We were able to see him against that high level of competition. He proved to us he was ready and when the Angels called on Greinke, we were ready with reports on Segura that included the Fall League.
The players know every game there is a minimum of 30 scouts each game. During the year, scouts may only see five, six or seven legitimate prospects in games, but here you get a chance to see a lot of players in every game. We send all of our scouts down there at different times."
While a number of Brewers players like Josh Prince have put up impressive numbers during the Fall League, they aren't the most important gauge of a player's success in the league. Switching positions, working on driving the ball to the opposite field or a pitcher's introduction to a new pitch are all things that are common in the league, giving a skewed perception of numbers.
"I don't get too worried about performance and numbers; maybe they are working on something," Melvin added. It is important for guys to get work in. Get at bats and innings pitched against solid competition day in and day out. That is the spirit of the league. Good numbers are able to show us that players are ready to compete at the next level."
Melvin and Ash each visited the Fall League in October along with other members of the Brewers Front Office staff. Not only is this a great opportunity for the organization to take inventory of young talent on the field, but it also a chance for the club to get to know players off the field. With no travel, the schedule is less hectic, allowing a chance for some social activities.
"We take the players out to dinner with our staff," Melvin said. "It's important for us to share stories with them and get to know them in a relaxed environment away from the ballpark. I want to hear what the players have to say about our organization and their thoughts on how we do things. They also want to hear from us."
Fans were once a rarity at Fall League games, but with a number of sparkling new facilities in Phoenix, the stands for Fall League games have seen more and more fans.
"It's caught on from a fan perspective," Ash said. "There are more fans. The improved facilities in Phoenix also play a part in that. From a perception point of view, fans understand that these are players they will soon see in the big leagues. And it's not necessarily just the Phoenix people. I have seen a lot of people obviously from the hometown of the teams—almost like a mini-Spring Training. It has certainly caught on as a top developmental league."
I arrived in Phoenix today and will be sharing stories about the Brewers involved in the league. If you have followed the stats and read my first Fall League preview, you might have noticed that a few Brewers prospects are missing from box scores. OF Brock Kjeldgaard broke his left foot on Oct. 27 after he fouled a ball of his foot. He has returned to Milwaukee where he will have surgery this week by Dr. Richard Marx. He expects to be ready in time for Spring Training and finished his stint in the Fall League hitting .385 with four home runs and nine RBI in just seven games.
RHP Santo Manzanillo has returned to the Brewers facility in the Dominican Republic where his is rehabbing from a sore right shoulder. He pitched in only three games, tallying 2.0 innings of relief.
The Brewers players are participating in the league as members of the Phoenix Desert Dogs. The team has a 9-10 record.

Arizona Fall League Opens 20th Anniversary Season
The Arizona Fall League opened its 20th anniversary season yesterday in the Phoenix area. Nine Brewers Minor Leaguers will take part in the league as members of the Phoenix Desert Dogs.
The six-team league will play six games a week through mid-November and is described as an off-season "graduate school" for top prospects. Scouts, general managers, farm directors and die-hard baseball fans all enjoy the skills that are on display during the 40-day league by future MLB stars.
I have traveled to the league each of the last two years and will be there again in November to highlight the Brewers prospects who are out there. Here is a list of Brewers players who are participating:

He was originally a 16th round selection by the Angels in the 2008 First-Year Player Draft. Hellweg picked up the save in the season-opener yesterday for Phoenix.
RHP Santo Manzanillo – Manzanillo suffered a shoulder injury after a scary auto accident in November of 2011 in the Dominican Republic, pushing his 2012 debut back to August. He split time between Brevard County, Huntsville and Wisconsin and finished the season with a combined record of 2-6 and an ERA of 6.95. He made 18 appearances out of the bullpen this season.

Inside the Brewers Winter Development Program at Maryvale Baseball Park
The Brewers have committed to making sure that its facilities at Maryvale Baseball Park are available for Brewers Major League and Minor League players 365 days a year. Special Assistant to the General Manager/Director of Player Development/Training Center Reid Nichols and Assistant Director – Player Development/Training Center Tony Diggs do a fantastic job of maintaining and operating the facility year-round.
As a part of that commitment, the team scheduled a number of sessions and invite players to come in to work on training and conditioning for the upcoming season through structured programs. These groups are different from the group of players out here for the Arizona Fall League. It isn't so much focused on baseball activity at this point as it is players working on conditioning and how to train their bodies the right way and support their health as they compete as professional athletes.
Nichols and Diggs direct the Winter Development Program with the aid of the rest of the Player Development staff. Frank Neville and Kenny Patterson make sure players receive proper medical care. Jeff Mester designs and implements the strength and conditioning plan. Matt Kerls ensures the video is rolling and players can analyze their development on video.
On Wednesday, I spent a day at the complex and followed around nine Brewers Minor Leaguers who were participating in this two-week session. Follow along with the day of activities.
8:30 a.m. – Staff Meeting
Nichols and Diggs led a staff meeting that set the tone for the day. They review the schedule of events and staff members went around the room to discuss their role in Wednesday's activities.
9:15 a.m. – Dynamic Warm Up
The players start arriving around 8:30 a.m. and the pitchers and position players are split up to warm up. The video below shows the pitchers warming up with the ladder run under Mester's direction just to get the blood flowing and stretch out the muscles.
9:40 a.m. – Pitchers Bunting/Upper Body Lift
The pitchers stayed outside in the batting cages and divided into two groups for some bunting practice.
The first group (as seen in the video below) practiced bunting tennis balls out of a pitching machine. Now why would professional baseball players take pitches of tennis balls? It is all to train the eyes. "Crosshairs" mark some of the balls while others have "Os" and still others with nothing. Players were only to hit those with "crosshairs." It was more of an eye training exercise than one of fundamentals.
Another group practiced bunting from real baseballs out of a pitching machine. There was another catch here. Some balls were smaller "training balls." Again, this required the players to train their eyes as the smaller balls were much more difficult to hit.
While the pitchers were outside, the position players were working with members of the strength staff on a general upper body workout circuit.
Other days, players work on speed with hill workouts, or sometimes lower body workouts or workouts that focus on a players core. The key to this all is that they are doing something different every day and most days they don't even pick up a baseball, bat or glove.
12:00 p.m. – Spin Class
At 11:20 a.m., the group got in vans and drove about 15 minutes west to Lifetime Fitness in Goodyear. This all-in-one fitness center has it all and players often come here to take specialized classes. Today, it would be a yoga and spin class. Amy, our instructor, took us on a high-intensity 30-minute ride. I had never taken a spin class before, but heard a lot about them. It was very intense, high-energy workout, but a good change of pace and a very good workout. My legs were a little wobbly when we the class ended and I shot the video while I was spinning along with the class.
12:30 p.m. – Yoga
It is kind of hard to go from the fast-paced spin workout into yoga, but it was a good way to relax and end the day. Amy brought the group through a 30-minute yoga session that calmed the body while at the same time focused on strength and balance of the core which is important especially to baseball players. One might think it is a little strange to see a group of baseball players doing a yoga class, but the techniques of balance, flexibility and focus are beneficial all athletes.
This is just a sample of the type of day players will have in this session. Yesterday, players in the program were going to take part in Skype interviews with a nutritionist who will talk to players one-on-one about eating the proper foods and fueling their bodies for competition. Some nights feature organized events as well such as dinners, group outings or even community service projects to promote camaraderie among the teammates.
Thanks to Brewers players Khris Davis, Drew Gagnon, Sean Halton, Cody Hawn, Kyle Heckathorn, Jimmy Nelson, Nick Ramirez, Chad Thompson and Will West for letting me tag along for the day. Fans should know these guys were all working hard on their dream of one day playing at Miller Park for the Milwaukee Brewers.
Hard Work and Hustle Compliment Kentrail Davis' Superior Athleticism
Scouts often talk about the "power/speed" combination in baseball prospects. It's the combination of the ability to do things like hit home runs while at the same time, excel at things like stealing bases. A Brewers prospect that fits that mold is Kentrail Davis.
Davis is solid athlete with plenty of ability and a lot of potential to be a future Milwaukee Brewers All-Star in the outfield. He spent the 2011 season—his second professional season—with Class-A Brevard County and hit .245 with eight home runs and 46 RBI. He led the team with 33 stolen bases and 76 runs scored.
"My first year (2010), I missed a lot of time with injuries and that was a little frustrating," said Davis. "It was good to get back this year and play 132 games. I was proud of that. I feel like I have a lot to improve on when it comes to my game, but it was still a good year for me."
The 39th overall selection by the Brewers in the 2009 First-Year Player Draft out of the University of Tennessee, Davis joined the organization as a decorated college athlete and highly touted prospect. Entering the 2011 season, Davis ranks as the fifth-best prospect according to Baseball America. The opportunity to play here in Arizona playing with other top prospects in the Fall League excites Davis.
"For me, it is an honor to be here," said the 23-year old. "Obviously, the Brewers believe in me and believe in what I can do. I am very happy to have this chance to show everyone a little more of what I can do. It is a good opportunity for me to show the organization that I can hit good pitching and play with the best."
Davis is 5-9 and weighs 195 pounds; he uses his athleticism and speed at the plate, on the base paths and in the outfield.
"I just go out there and play," said Davis. "If it is hitting, or stealing a bag, or running a ball down in the outfield, I use that athleticism and my ability to prove I can play."
He said he follows the Brewers as much as possible throughout the season and knows the what the organization and the fans expect from its players.
"I'm just a player that goes out there and gives my best every day," said Davis. "I bring a lot of energy and play hard—I think that is what the Brewers are looking for. I run out every play down the baseline and one thing the organization told me when they drafted me is that they love that I play the game hard. I just try to stay by that rule."
Hard work, hustle and raw talent are three things that will certainly help Davis' dream of making the Big Leagues a reality.

– The championship game will be Saturday between Salt River and Surprise. The game will air live on MLB Network and MLB.com beginning at 2 p.m. CT. Arizona Fall League representatives will announce the Stenson Award on Satruday, a sportsmanship award of which Zelous Wheeler is a nominee.
Logan Schafer MRI Update
On Tuesday, Logan Schafer told me that he would be leaving the Arizona Fall League two days early to undergo a precautionary MRI on his right wrist. Today, Brewers Executive Vice President – General Manager Gord Ash reported that the MRI did not show any damage and the need for follow-up and further testing is not necessary. Dr. Don Sheridan reviewed the MRI here in Phoenix.
The outfielder played in 21 games this Fall and hit .302 (29-for-96) with two home runs and 16 RBI. He also led the team with five stolen bases. Schafer said he continues to feel good and not have any issues. He also said he will take around three weeks off before beginning his preparation for 2012 and is looking forward to Spring Training.
Brewers Schafer Reflects on 2011, Looks Forward to 2012
I talked to Logan Schafer today and I reminded him that we talked about a year ago while he was here playing at the Arizona Fall League. He had a number of frustrating injuries during the 2010 season, injuries that only allowed him to play seven games that year. It was extremely frustrating especially coming off a 2009 season that saw him earn Brewers Minor League Player of the Year honors and named a Florida State League All-Star.
He used the 2010 Fall League as a stepping stone for what the Brewers outfield prospect hoped would be a promising 2011.
"It was definitely a year of ups and downs for me personally," said Schafer.
He was extended an invitation to Major League Spring Training only to have another freak injury. On March 15 at Scottsdale Stadium, Schafer was on first base and broke his thumb trying to break up a double play. It was another injury and another setback for Schafer.
"It was tough getting hurt again at Spring Training, breaking my thumb on another freak injury," Schafer said. "It was something I couldn't really avoid, trying to break up a double play. That put me on the DL for a good month and a half and I came back in the middle of May and after rehab started in Double-A and then worked my way up to Triple-A."
Schafer's stat line from the 2011 season reads like a tour around the entire Brewers system, nine games at Class-A Brevard County, 50 games at Double-A Huntsville, 40 games at Triple-A Nashville and, a September call-up to the Big League Club and two games with the Brewers. He made his Major League debut on September 2 as a pinch runner and scored the first run of a three-run seventh inning that started a Brewers comeback win in Houston.
"I was very lucky to have the opportunity to get called up in September and join a championship caliber team for that month," Schafer said. "I really enjoyed seeing them work; it was a great first taste of the Big Leagues."
After a year of battling back and getting his swing to where he knew it could be, Schafer hit .302 in Double-A and .331 in Triple-A. In September he found himself in the middle of the Brewers chase for a National League Pennant.
"It was exactly what I had dreamed about," said the 25-year-old lefty. "Every game, every inning, every at bat, every pitch mattered. It really was special to be a part of that. Those guys really knew how to keep it loose, that clubhouse was unbelievable and very open. Everyone could talk to each other freely. It was a lot of great personalities on that Brewers team that meshed together well and it was really interesting to see how they handled their business every day, how they focused and prepared for games every single day while at the same time staying loose."
It was reported today that one of those personalities, free agent outfielder Mark Kotsay, would be signing with the San Diego Padres. When told of the news, and a possible opportunity with an open roster spot, Schafer was excited.
"I had a lot of fun with Kotsay, he really taught me a lot and was really good to me. I'm very happy for him," Schafer said. "As for me, I'm just playing the game, I'm ready to go and hopefully make the most of the opportunities that are given to me.
If I go in to Spring Training with the mindset of just playing hard and staying focused, I know good things will happen. I have had a couple of ups and down with injuries, but when I'm healthy and ready to play, I'm focused and ready to come to work."
Tomorrow, Schafer will leave the Arizona Fall League to undergo a precautionary MRI on his wrist to make sure everything is healed properly as he closes out his 2011 season.
"Really, I feel great. My body feels great. I missed a week out here with some inflammation and I was just letting that calm down a bit and got back to playing again and now I feel great. Coming to the end of November here, it is good to know that my body has held up pretty well. It has been a pretty long year for me, but I feel great."
Today, Schafer went 3-for-5 with a double and RBI and is hitting .302 with two home runs and 16 RBI this Fall.
"Obviously, I didn't get to play every day in September and that is why it was great to come out here again," Schafer said. "Every game mattered in September and I understood that I couldn't play all the time, but it is great to be here and get some more at bats before the year ends. I feel like I have my swing back and I have been hitting well, it is good to have that back."
Schafer said following his time here in Arizona, he will take about two weeks off to rest before getting back to his regular weight routine and agility workouts.
"You can just go in there and let things happen and play the game and play hard. I don't make decisions; I just play and play hard. Come Spring Training, I'll be excited to go out there, get hits and make pitchers want me out there in the outfield."

– It was announced today that Wheeler was named one of six nominees for the AFL Stenson Sportsmanship Award. The manager and coaching staff from each team were asked to nominate one player for the award and the winner will be announced prior to the start of Saturday's AFL Championship Game (2 p.m. CT on MLB.com and MLB Network). The award was named in memory of Dernell Stenson, the late Cinicnnati Reds prospect who was killed in 2003 in Arizona during the AFL season. The award is presented annually to the Fall League player who best exemplifies unselfishness, hard work and leadership.

Looking back, looking forward
31 December 2012
Around this time of year, I like to look back at the past year, and look ahead to what I have planned for the next. It's less of a 'resolutions' post (I suck at keeping them), and more of a way to take stock of where I am and where I'm going.
2012 was crazy busy. I'm actually having trouble remembering all of the things that I did during 2012. It was like 2012 was the year of me finding ways to drive myself crazy.
I decided that it was a super idea to submit a poster, a talk, and a tutorial to PyCon. It was not a super idea. I looked like I was about to fall over by the end of the conference.
I got married. It was a small wedding. I thought this would make it effortless. Ha! Hahahah. Totally worth it, though. Renting a limo to barhop around DC rather than renting a hall and feeding 150 people crappy chicken? Best idea ever!
The book I signed a contract for in 2010 was released, and I officially became a published author. Right before this, though, was a month or so of mental anguish where I convinced myself I was a hack, and had no business anywhere near a book contract.
Not having learned my lesson the first time, I signed a contract for another book. This one is due out in 2013.
I taught classes. I taught so many classes. Two PyLadies intro classes. Part of a tutorial on PyGame. Then a class at DjangoCon, which, hilariously enough, I discovered the day of my class that my time-slot was an hour shorter than I thought it would be. Amazingly, I still made it all fit.
For the first time, one of my blog posts went viral. Then another one did.
I got my first consulting gig, and because of that, had to make a mad dash to create an LLC so it's harder to sue the pants off of me. Many thanks to #django-social for hand-holding me through that.
The boy started middle school. He's fully mainstreamed, now, so this has been our first year of walking the tightrope without a net. It's been... interesting.
The girl started preschool. She's very nearly civilized.
So, what's up for next year?
My second book will be published! My editor will personally strangle me if it isn't, so consider me highly motivated!
I have two secret projects that don't have any signed paper yet, so I can't do any more than drop less-than-subtle clues. Hint: it may involve more books!
The girl will start Kindergarten. If I don't sell the boy as punishment for not turning his classwork in, he will start seventh grade.
I want to get better with my jQuery and Javascript skills, so I'm thinking of projects that involve them. I'm seriously considering an interactive fiction engine.
I really want to finish my roguelike. When I get a chance to chill for a few hours, I'll pick it back up, probably starting with writing some tests for it. I already have some ideas for the next game I want to write (see above).
Okay, I have to go prep for a party in which I alienate most of my friends via Cards Against Humanity. Here's to an excellent 2013!

A Perfect Glass of Wineby Deborah Jones Brian St. Pierre
Many people see the enjoyment of wine as an intimidating and complicated matter, requiring a mastery of arcane rules and rituals. In fact, there's no more to it than putting each wine to the ultimate test: Does it taste good? Wine writer Brian St. Pierre's book begins by introducing the basic flavors of the several grape varieties used in making wines around the world. Once those are understood, all the rest flows smoothly--what distinguishes the colors and types, how to match wine with food, how to store and serve it, and even how much to spend on a bottle. St. Pierre's sensible approach combined with stunning photographs and elegant maps of the world's great wine-growing regions make this the perfect no-nonsense guide or lovely gift for anyone who wants to learn to understand, appreciate, and, above all, fully enjoy the fruit of the vine.
The Wine Deckby E. J. Armstrong Brian St. Pierre
Are you curious about wine, but can't tell the difference between a Pinot Noir and a Sangiovese? A Chenin Blanc and a Chardonnay? This book describes over 40 wine varietals, including information on:- Taste- Origin- Reputation- Food pairings- Key wine terms- Chilling and storing- Cooking with wine- Entertaining with wine
The Wine Lover Cooks Italianby Brian St. Pierre Ngoc Minh Ngo Julian Wass
Glass in one hand, fork in the other, Brian St. Pierre explores the regional wines and cuisines of Italy in this dream of a cookbook. As you'd expect from the author of A Perfect Glass of Wine, St. Pierre brings to the table fabulous recipes and inspired wine pairings. Whether it's a hearty barolo from Piedmont in the northwest that complements a pan-roasted veal tenderloin, a refreshing pinot grigio from the shores of the Adriatic paired with succulent risotto di frutti di mare, or a glass of easy-going Apulia primitivo from the southern reaches to enjoy with the rosemary and oregano notes of slow-baked lamb, each wine suggestion is designed to enhance the flavor of the recipe. The sweeter side of the wine spectrum is also represented with such treats as zuppa inglese with strawberries served alongside a glass of sparkling proseccoa finish with flourish to a remarkable meal. With a glossary of wine terms and gorgeous photographs of both the wine and the food, this stylish cookbook is as beautiful as it is informative.

Schools Will Rock You: US Appeal
Since Schools Will Rock You's inception in 2007 the initiative has been primarily focused on providing licenses for schools that are only based in the UK.
Following huge demand from the USA, SWRY is looking to possibly branch out into the territory and is looking for ONE school that will fulfill the same criteria that is set out for the UK. Any US based schools interested in helping us undertaking this test enterprise:
- Must be a school
- Must only include performers under the age of 18
- Must guarantee each performance will only be in front of an audience of 350 maximum
- Must agree that production only takes place on the schools premises The application window for registering your interest in a SWRY US license is Monday 25th June 2012 to Monday 2nd July 2012. Any applications received before or after these days will not be considered.
The cost of the license will be $200 (approx. £150)
We will initially only be looking to grant ONE Schools Will Rock You license in the USA for 2013. The SWRY management team will select the school and their decision will be final.
For more information please check the FAQ section of the current site at www.schoolswillrockyou.com
Please note: These applications must only come from the USA; we are currently not looking to expand SWRY outside of the UK or the USA at this time.

The leadership of the Tea Party Express visited Charleston on Thursday to drum up support for a lawmaker pledge opposing any spending measure that would fund the White House's health care measure, commonly referred to as Obamacare.
While chairwoman Amy Kramer said the message is aimed at all members of South Carolina's delegation, U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., was a specific target.
"It's 285 days from today to June 10, 2014 when he will be retired by the citizens of South Carolina," she said. "It's time for him to go."
Two of Graham's announced GOP primary opponents, Richard Cash and Nancy Mace, addressed the gathering which drew an audience of about 12 people to a downtown hotel. Also in the running is state Sen. Lee Bright, R-Spartanburg.
One method being battered around in Washington is to de-fund the health measure through a continuing resolution. Graham's office says that route could lead to shutting down much of the federal government, including the issuing of paychecks for the military.
Graham says he has joined or co-sponsored various efforts against the health care law, and called his differences with the tea party "a tactical dispute."

NOW that spring is finally taking hold, our fancies naturally turn from warming comfort foods to the colorful allure of fresh fruits and vegetables. Good thing, especially for those of us whose comfort was converted into a few extra pounds over the winter.
It's a good time to check out some of the freshest, most colorful cuisine, which is raw.
OK, I hear ya.
After all, "raw" to us vegans is like "vegan" is to the rest of the world: An imponderable extreme that we know is probably better in many ways, but who can live like that? I mean, what is there left to eat?

Tubeless Toilet Paper and the End of a Childhood Traditionsandymaple
Thanks to a new winding process developed by Kimberly Clark, toilet paper tubes may soon be a thing of the past.
Earlier this week, the household paper manufacturer announced plans to begin test marketing their new Scott Naturals Tube-Free toilet paper at Walmart and Sam's Club stores throughout the Northeast. If things go well, the company hopes to expand their tubeless toilet paper line nationally and even globally.
But while eliminating the cardboard cylinder from the center of a roll of toilet paper may indeed make for an more environmentally friendly way to, you know, wipe yourself, it may also spell the end of a beloved childhood tradition: making toilet paper tube crafts.
For generations, those little cardboard tubes have provided the makings of many turkeys, castles, dragons and telescopes. And while it's hard to imagine that the day will come when a child won't be able to experience the excitement of creating something awesome from an empty toilet paper roll, it appears that we are headed that way.
So parents, you might want to start saving all your toilet paper tubes in preparation for the day when they become a scarce commodity. And don't forget the paper towels. Kimberly Clark has their sights set on those, too.

Beyonce's Sasha Fierce album slaughtered Kelly Rowland's Ms Kelly by trading in lyrics and singing talent for oiled up ass shaking, floor humping, and tacky sunglasses in every video.

The chick who will forever be remember as the girl in Beyonce's shadow; a wannabe Beyonce.
Kelly Rowland let Beyonce Knowles take advantage of her due to the fact that she was blinded by "friendship."

Bordeaux, that city famous for its wine is vying for the title of France's most amorous town. The reason? Well, it could have something to do with its newly revamped Neo-classical centre, its moonlit riverside walks, or its beautifully landscaped parks. One thing's for sure, it won't be long before you're falling in love with Bordeaux and all its charms.
Recent renovations have seen the place transformed into a city full of warehouse-converted bars and restaurants, and pedestrianised squares brimming with cafes and buzzing with life.
See outdoor films for free on the quays of Pauillac as part of the second edition of the Vendanges du 7ème Art, happening from 13-17 July. For information and showings visit http://vendangesdu7emeart.fr/.

There are 19th century paintings, sculptures and graphic arts as well as more modern-day dance, theatre, opera and cinema. Until 23 May, www.musba-bordeaux.fr/en.
For beginners and experts alike, the interactive exhibition 'Jeux Video' at Cap Sciences takes visitors from arcade games through to avatars, via game consoles and computers, while revealing how they are created. Until 28 February 2016.
The fourth edition of the Bordeaux independent film festival happens from 8-14 October. Films will be shown at cinemas in the city and surrounding area as well as outdoors at Cour Mably, which will transform into a dance floor from 10.30pm. For more information visit fifib.com.
The newly opened Cité du Vin in Bordeaux is billed as Disneyland for adults, and it's not hard to see why: expect a sensory adventure through cultures and civilisations, all related to the production of wine. Tickets include a wine tasting on the 7th floor, overlooking the city. For more information visit www.laciteduvin.com.
Cheer on the 18,000 runners who will follow the course of the 2nd edition of the Marathon de Bordeaux on 9 April throughout the city, suburbs and vineyards, all taking place at night!

The home, set back 500 feet, caught fire sometime just before 12:28 a.m., when the Strongsville Fire Department received its second call about a possible fire on Priem Road, said Chief Jeff Branic.
No one was home at the time of the fire, and no injuries were reported.
"Fire conditions would not have been survivable," Branic said.
Strongsville's Engine 3 arrived on scene at 12:33 a.m., reported a house fully involved in fire, ran a 500-foot water supply line down the driveway and immediately deployed a deck gun, which blasts 500 gallons of water per minute to stop the fire from advancing.
In all, 22 firefighters from Strongsville, Berea, Middleburg Heights and Olmsted Falls had the fire under control by 1 a.m., Branic said.
Fire investigators, including the local State Fire Marshal's fire investigator, have not determined a cause or exact location of origin of the fire and are still conducting interviews.
Branic said anyone with any information related to any fire should call (440) 580-3210 and ask to speak with the Shift Commander.
Another house fire July 25 rendered a Delaware Drive home unlivable, and claimed the life of a family cat. That fire was determined to be accidental.
A Cleveland Waste Management truck also caught fire July 26.

Women, Peace and Security Act of 2013
By Senator Nan Grogan Orrock Special to The Atlanta Voice | 12/20/2013, 3:10 p.m.
As the world mourned the loss and celebrated the life of courageous freedom fighter Nelson Mandela, we were reminded by a woman leader speaking at his service that Mandela's dedication to humanity, to equality for all, to ending discrimination, oppression, and apartheid, certainly included a bedrock commitment to advancing women and removing barriers to their full participation in civic life. Malawi President Joyce Banda shared her moving account of being welcomed and encouraged by Nelson Mandela in her role as Vice President, and then described his unwavering support when her ascendancy to Malawi's Presidency was challenged by competing male politicians.
President Banda now courageously leads her country to improve living standards and oppose corruption and special interests who would impede progress. Liberia's President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Africa's first female president, has a long history of working to advance women's rights in Africa. She was one of the five U.N. commission chairs to investigate and report on the effect of conflict on women and women's roles in peace building. Sirleaf won the 2011 Nobel Peace Prize jointly with Leymah Gbowee of Liberia and Tawakel Karman of Yemen, for her efforts to ensure women's safety and women's rights to participate in peace-building work. She is currently using her second term as president to make women's rights and health a national priority in Liberia.
Here at home, effective women leaders in the US Senate led in crafting a bipartisan compromise to end the government shutdown in October, ending an artificially created crisis intended to block the Affordable Care Act funding. Women here and around the globe are demonstrating their skill and leadership in resolving and preventing conflict and building peace.
This week we mark the third anniversary of an important US policy shift on behalf of the women of the world. On December 19, 2011, President Obama introduced the first-ever National Action Plan on Women, Peace, and Security (U.S. NAP). The U.S. NAP recognizes the critical role of women in preventing and resolving violent conflict and building lasting peace. It aims to protect women and girls from rape and gender-based violence and guarantees equal access to humanitarian aid in crisis situations. The U.S. NAP calls for women's meaningful participation and leadership in advancing U.S. foreign policy issues on all matters of peace and security.
Today, on the third anniversary of the U.S. NAP, we have the opportunity to support the Women, Peace and Security Act of 2013 (H.R. 2874) that will transform the U.S. NAP (an executive order at risk of termination upon the election of a new president) into permanent U.S. national law.
Let us support the WPS Act, because even though empowering women is associated with lower poverty, higher economic growth, better nutrition and education of children, and other outcomes vital to the success of communities—and therefore security—our government agencies repeatedly ignore women, especially in conflict-affected environments. The WPS Act will ensure women are equally included in creating peace and preventing conflict.
Let us support the WPS Act, because of the 40 conflicts in the last decade, 31 represent repeated cycles of violence with a disproportionate impact on women and children. For instance, in Afghanistan though the overall number of casualties finally decreased in 2012, the number of casualties among women and girls increased by 20% during that same period. The WPS Act seeks to protect women from violence, especially gender-specific violence such as sexual abuse, rape and human trafficking.

The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance act allows the U.S. to wiretap the phone calls and e-mails of suspected terrorists. President Bush says America is in greater risk of a terrorist attack without it.
But the law expires Friday night, and the Democrat-led Congress just left for a 12-day recess. Flanked by GOP lawmakers at the White House, President Bush blasted the House's inaction.
"By blocking this piece of legislation, our country is more in danger of an attack," he said. "By not giving the professionals the tools they need, it's going to be a lot harder to do the job we need to be able to defend America."
On the flip side, the president praised the Senate for passing a bi-partisan bill that would renew FISA. He wants the House to pass that version of the bill as well.
House Democrats recommend a 30-day extension of the current law. That would give them time to get on the same page as the senate before passing a final bill.
House Republicans staged a walkout on Thursday in protest.
But Democrats say the president is trying to push the bill through now for political purposes.
"While FDR is famous for telling Americans they have nothing to fear but fear itself, President Bush tells the American people he has nothing to offer but fear," said Speaker of the House, Nanci Pelosi.
One of the major hangups for House Democrats is that the Senate bill provides immunity to phone companies that work with the government on the wiretapping program. House Democrats say those companies should be subject to lawsuits. Republicans disagree.
Without these communications companies volunteering to help us, there is no program. And we have put them in a position--not we, but I mean the lawsuits--have put them in the position that they cannot continue to do that," said Kentucky Rep. Mitch McConnell.
Democrats say existing laws--which require the government to obtain a court order before wiretapping a suspect--are good enough. But President Bush says House Democrats should act quickly to get a new bill passed when they return from their break.

A firetruck damaged in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack on the Pentagon will arrive at the General George Patton Museum and Center of Leadership in Fort Knox on Tuesday, September 10, 2013.
The damaged rig, known as Foam 161, will be driven with police escort from Fort Knox to Elizabethtown and back on September 10 from approximately 2:00pm to 4:00pm. The public is encouraged to line U.S. Highway 31W to pay their respects. When the truck arrives at the Patton Museum, the three firefighters — Alan Wallace, Dennis Young and Mark Skipper — assigned to Foam 161 on 9/11 will be there to meet it and will join in a ceremony.
The public, especially local schoolchildren, are invited to greet them.
Foam 161 was assigned to the Pentagon heliport on September 11, 2001, and was damaged when American Flight 77 crashed into the E ring of the building.
Foam 161 will then be on permanent display at the Patton Museum as part of a new exhibit currently under construction.

On June 21, 2013 Market Edge downgraded ASTEX PHARMACEUTICALS INC (ASTX) from HOLD to SELL
hopeful it was a fund dumping below the $5 min. thats what it sounds like from the last few finds. that would explain the large volume at the closing. so maybe we will be ok joeyw1
That's not the point. I know there are differences in weighing certain parameters but how can one analyst go from SELLL to BUY and, on the same day -- actually within a couple of hours -- after the market closes another go from HOLD to SELL? A tout at the local track would be embarrassed by two sheets that far apart.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- A Fort Carson soldier has traveled to Washington to help look for his 13-year-old son who went missing after a mudslide wiped out the town of Oso.
KRDO-TV reported Staff Sgt. Jose Mangual traveled to Washington last Monday to help look for his son Jovon Mangual. He spoke to KCPQ in Seattle Monday about his search. His story is in the video report above.
Jovon lives with his mother in Washington.
"The feeling is nothing I can explain. I miss my son. I want my son and I will not stop until I find him," Mangual said.
Managal said he plans to stay in Washington till he finds his son -- no matter how long it takes.
"I haven't had any luck. We've been searching for him. We haven't been able to locate him," the father said.
A week ago, a rain-saturated hillside along the north fork of the Stillaguamish River gave way, burying her neighborhood on the outskirts of Oso in Washington's North Cascade Mountains in wet earth and rock.
In the minutes and hours after the slide on March 22, firefighters, neighbors, family and friends pulled survivors from the debris.
But with every day that has passed since then, hope has faded that anyone else will be found alive.
The official death toll stands at 21. Thirty people are still missing.
CNN contributed to this report.

Best of sports
Our favorite photos from this year's sporting events.
Our favorite photos from this year's sporting events.
My Point Of View: I have been reading more and more commentary from prominent Republicans, Democrats, business leaders, and media folks from the left and right questioning Trump's state of mind, sanity and temperament. When I watched him perform in the primary debates, during his various recent campaign events and even at the GOP's convention, I have felt a growing sense that there is something deeply wrong with Trump's behavior and way of thinking. I asked myself what it would be like to work for Trump or have him as a neighbor or business partner. Not something I would want. I think it's interesting that Trump's convention featured only B-rated celebrities, his family and mostly lower level politicos. He couldn't even any of his serious business partners to speak and endorse him. I have little doubt that Trump is disturbed in some fundamental way and definitely not fit for the presidency.

Toward a Constitutional Law of Crime and Punishment
Markus D. Dubber
University of Toronto - Faculty of Law
Hastings Law Journal, Vol. 55, 2004
Procedural criminal law is heavily constitutionalized, whereas substantive criminal law has largely escaped constitutional scrutiny. In this article, Professor Markus Dubber lays out a framework for the development of a general constitutional law of crime and punishment, with a particular emphasis on the general and special part of substantive criminal law. Constitutional criminal law, Dubber argues, rests on the concept of respect for the autonomy and dignity of persons that is reflected in such constitutional guarantees as the right to due process and the proscription against cruel and unusual punishments.
