Yeah I do know he has about 2 or 3 cards out. I doubt he would be working at that academy. I would think he would be working with our young catchers individually..

Above average arm? Didn't they time his throw to 2nd and it was as good if not better than most major league catchers time wise? And who questioned his ability to hit for power?

Throwing to 2nd as good or better than most major league catchers would be an above average arm. There's another catcher in the Brewer organization that has what everyone likes to call a 'howitzer' for an arm, Angel Salome. I don't understand the question mark there, I feel it's above average, you think so, so I think we're on the same page.
As for who questioned his ability to hit for power, we're talking about baseball card investors here, and they (we) are afraid of catchers for the most part anyway.
Even his draft report here used words "line driver hitter", "average power", and even eluded to his power as a weakness (in the report) Ridiculous I say.

The favorite catcher among baseball card prospectors in the draft was Big Matt Wieters, who has 24 homers so far, and truly is an outstanding prospect. What I'm trying to tell people is that Lucroy can do that too. The Florida State League, and Brevard County in particular, is notorious for muffling any power numbers. As far as baseball cards go, Matt Wieters' elite autograph card sells between $75 and $100 dollars. Lucroy's gets about 10.
It's crazy.

Lucroy has a few cards out there. The one's to look at are his 2007 elite autographs (numbered to /500, /100, /50, and /5) which you guys should like, being in a Ragin Cajun jersey, and his 2007 Bowman Chromes and parallels. They're cheap, a lot of people are going to make money off of them. If you'd like to see a nice stash, check out my photobucket, scroll down to the bottom.

(none for sale though, thanks!)

Thanks for linking my little article, always great to talk to more Lucroy fans. Of course, I didn't hop on his bandwagon until his Hawaiian League participation, but I'm on it now.
I argue all the time with fellow Brewer fans about who the catcher of the future is, and I hope Lucroy proves me right.

Jon has always found ways to adjust his game to the next level. He had 8 stolen bases in Low A this year. I watched him hit a stand up triple this year. His throwing is so much better than two years ago, even a year ago. I expect he'll continue to adjust. I was told he is taking some classes this fall.

You'll really be laughing when he scores from first on a gapper in Houston. the next year or two will be interesting for Jon.

Astros are a more successful franchise than people realize. Right now they are two games above 0.500. They probably have had more negative things said about them than any team with a winning record in late summer in history. I don't know if they will finish with a winning record due to all their injuries. However, they have had only two losing seasons since 1996. Most people think they are pathetic don't know the stats I just relayed. No, you won't be an Arnold if you pull for the Brewers as Houston is not in Louisiana.
