Quick Brewer Prospect Note

One of the advantages the Brewers have this year is the presence of two elite prospects waiting in the wings in Ryan Braun and Yovani Gallardo.

Three of the best indicators of future pitching success are WHIP, K/9 and K:BB ratio.
Gallardo:
WHIP 0.86 - less than a batter reaching base an inning. Ridiculous.
K/9 - 51/37 = 1.38
K:BB - 51:11 or about 5 to 1.

This man does not allow people on base and is powering through AAA hitters.

Braun -
One of the best indicators of future hitting success is OPS (On-base % + Slugging %).
OPS - 1.142. That is outta control high. This kid's going to be good.
