It has begun

MiLB.com started revealing their Top 50 prospects yesterday with #41-50. My guess is that #31-40 will be out at some point later this morning.

Anyway, there are a few ex-Midwest Leaguers so far. Brewer fans should know that Jeremy Jeffress is on there at #44.

You should also know that there is an autoplay video at that link. So, turn your volume down....or way up if you are that kind of person... before heading over there.

A taste:
Statistically speaking: His 5.27 ERA over four Double-A starts is misleading as he gave up six runs in two-thirds of an inning in his last outing. Before that, he had allowed only three runs over 14 innings for a 1.93 ERA. His 11.01 K/9 ratio would've put him atop the full-season leaderboard had he pitched enough innings to qualify.

Scouting report: Has a fastball that can reach triple digits, breaking ball, a curve that can be a plus pitch, and he's working on developing a changeup. Makeup in the past has been a question mark, with a suspension for marijuana use.

Upside potential: Think Dwight Gooden, stuff-wise. Worst-case scenario, he's a dangerous back-end reliever.
