Milwaukee selected Canadian, Brett Lawrie from a Langley, British Colombia today with their 16th selection in this years draft. He is a catcher/"infielder", however they submitted his name as a catcher with their selection. With the likes of Mike Rivera and Angel Salome at the helm, I question if he will actually be used as a catcher. Salome will be the future catcher of this franchise or at least rotate with Mike Rivera, so that tells me that Lawrie may be used in other roles, similar to that of Matt LaPorta who was a first baseman in college.
With good size and decent speed, this player will be a welcomed addition to the Milwaukee Brewers organization. Pending of course if they can sign him.

Other sad news....
Miller-Coors Park?
U.S signed off on the Miller-Coors merger today. The future of my favorite Milwaukee beer is in jeopardy. The beer that made Milwaukee famous is now at risk of moving its headquarters out of state. If that happened, I would then switch brands...probably over to Point or Huber. Sad day.
Public displays of affection in Seattle are under attack. This is just sad. If a male/female couple were told to quit sucking face at a ballpark, do you think they would stage a "kiss-in" to protest it? No. They would probably stop. These two lesbians are going after the Mariners organization and will probably take legal action. I don't want my 2 year-old son seeing that when I bring him to a park. Hell, it don't matter if they are gay or straight!
