  The Brewers hope that 24-year old righty swinging Jonathan Lucroy have build off his solid first season in the majors. He played in 75 games for the Brewers last season and he was 70 of 277 (.253 avg, .628 OPS) with 24 runs scored, 4 homers, 26 RBIs and 4 stolen bases.

The Brewers hope that Lucroy can get his average up to about .270 with a little more power in 2011. Lucroy had 5 errors but only 1 passed ball in 75 games behind the plate for the Brewers last season. He also threw out 15 of 54 (27.8%) runners trying to steal on him last season and Brewers’ pitchers had a 4.40 ERA with him behind the plate.

What do you mean? The Astros have Jason Castro and his .195 batting average! He's a star!

Luc broke his pinky finger today, on his throwing hand. Hope he isn't out too long.

Just FYI. The Brewers will be in Houston the last week in April. This is just prior to the Offshore Technology Conference. Always a lot of people from Lafayette heading to Houston during that time. Might try to get over a few days early myself.
