This is from the Post-Crescent article about Timber Rattlers catcher Cameron Garfield that could have been called "Wisconsin plus Garfield"...but wasn't.
Milwaukee might have journeyman Gregg Zaun and former San Diego Padres prospect George Kottaras as the catchers on their roster, but one could guess that they are just holding down the fort until the Brewers catching prospects arrive on the scene.
While Angel Salome and Jonathan Lucroy are fine-tuning their skills in Nashville and Huntsville, respectively, the Brewers have another prospect behind the plate for the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers.
Cameron Garfield, who will turn 19 on May 23, is one whose name brings a smile to the face of Rattlers manager Jeff Isom.
"He handles the pitching staff very well," Isom said. "He is very mature back there. He does a great job blocking. Defensively, he's solid. Obviously, you see he's hitting in the four hole, so he's got some potential at the bat as well. He's an exciting young player for the Brewers organization."
