  In the time leading up to the start of spring training, I’ve decided to make a countdown of the 10 Brewers that I believe are most critical to their success in the 2011 season. It continues today with number 8.

The catcher is a rather important player. He calls the pitches during games. He keeps pitchers calm when things get serious. The Brewers have decided to take a bit of a leap of faith with their catcher. Yes, Jonathan Lucroy was the regular starter for a good deal of last season, starting 74 games after Gregg Zaun went down with an injury. Even so, Lucroy won’t be 25 until June, and he has only played in 96 games above double A.

Congrats to Lucroy, but I can only pull for him when they don't play the Astros!

Due to a strange quirk in MLB scheduling, Milwaukee will be in Houston for three weekend series during the 2011 season, April, August and September.

So there's plenty of chances to see Luc play in H-town this year.


Also, Houston has Boston coming in for a series in July. However, the Stros will likely put those tickets on a raffle like they did the last time the Sauks came.

Wish I could make the Sox game, but I'll still be working for Uncle Sugar learning to fly.

Just think, someday you'll be able to fly yourself from game to game -and along the way- picking up VO at CC's in Abbeville

I understand he got married over the weekend; he and his bride are living in Lafayette.

  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.

Lucroy heads into the 2011 season as the Brewers unquestioned starting catcher but he will need to improve a little bit this year to keep the gig.

It was overwhelming, but I think it will pay off for me in the long run," said Lucroy, 24, a third-round draft pick in 2007 out of the University of Louisiana. "I believe that trial by fire is one of the best things you can deal with. That's the ...
