A rumor on Brewerfan.net says that the PTBNL might be Mitch Stetter.

 

2004 Stats...

 

High A High Desert (major hitter's park in hitter's league):

 

1-4; 8.15 ERA; 38 2/3 IP, 8 G, 7 GS, 6 HR, 29 K, 14 BB, 1.76 WHIP

 

Low A Beloit:

 

4-0, 1.70 ERA; 53 IP, 24 G, 3 GS, 4 HR, 57 K, 12 BB, 0.81 WHIP

 

Arizona Fall League:

 

3-0, 5.06 ERA, 21 1/3 IP, 12 G, 0 GS, 1 HR, 6 BB, 19 K, 1.59 WHIP

Heard this on the big thread yesterday.

That rumors source is I think Baseball Primer (I think thats where the guy from Brewersfans.net got it).

 

But it seems more likely that whoever they get is going to be a below average prospect. Ie, an "organizational" guy.

we got screwed if thats who it is.

He's 23 and is a 6'4 190 pound lefty that pitched well in Low-A but otherwise wasn't great.

When you're hell bent on dumping salary at the winter meetings, announce it to the world, this is they type of deal you end up with.
