Future Brewers, For Now: Manatees

Those familiar with the Brewers' radio broadcasts with Bob Uecker and Jim Powell often hear the nightly update of the Brewers' farm teams from Nashville to Huntsville to Brevard County. The Brevard County Manatees (Brewers' Class-A team) traveled to nearby Sarasota to play the Reds. I drove down to the game Saturday night and talked to some of the young guys before the game. They were happy to sign some autographs for Jack too.


Here's me with Ned Yost Jr. Yes, that's manager Ned's son. He had the night off. We'll see how he does.


Here's the game sheet. We'll see how many of these guys play at Miller Park in a couple of years. (Click to enlarge it.)


Ned warms up.


Catcher Angel Salome is tearing the Florida State League up this year at .297 and 48 RBIs. Maybe he'll be ready when Johnny Estrada's all done.


And here's Freddy Parejo. He's not that hot this year, but played a good game going 2 for 3 and a walk.

And for Veggie Tale fans, no one named Barbara plays for the Manatees. HF1
