We'll never know what kind of season Casey McGehee might have had if he made the Milwaukee Brewers' starting lineup out of spring training.HUNTSVILLE (AA: Southern League): The Stars lost 5-2 at Tennessee. They trail their best-of-five series 2-1.
What McGehee has done since getting his chance is impressive enough.
McGehee supported a strong effort by right-hander Dave Bush with four hits, including two home runs, and six runs batted in Saturday night, sparking the Brewers to a 9-2 rout of Arizona at Chase Field.
McGehee, who sat on the bench the first six weeks of the season and later lost some playing time with an ailing knee, has started only 68 games. In only 291 at-bats, he has socked 15 home runs and driven in 57 runs, the most by any rookie in the National League.
McGehee also boosted his batting average to .306, tops among NL rookies.
The Tennessee Smokies finally beat on old friend Saturday night to put themselves on the threshold of the Southern League playoff finals for the first time since 2004.BREWERS SYSTEM SCHEDULE TODAY
