Unlike the Chester Big Stick, the Brewers AA affiliate, the Nashville Red Wings, are having a horrible season. This is largely due to a starting pitching staff that is atrocious. Brewers leadership has been trying to find some veterans to shore up the team as well as identifying talented players from lower in the organization who might be able to help turn things around at Nashville, but so far with no success.
One player who was brought up from single A Bainbridge is 1B/OF Bobby Erbakan, largely considered the top prospect in the Brewers system. Erbakan was unhappy at Bainbridge and even though there were concerns that he wasn't yet AA ready (ratings not really there yet), thus far, in spite of his continued unhappiness, Erbakan has put up even gaudier numbers at AA than he did at A.
Another young player doing quite well for Nashville is centerfielder Juan Magana. Magana has a reputation as a hard worker and is a great runner and talented defensive outfielder, but there is much skepticism about whether he will ever develop the hitting talent needed to make the bigs.
26-year old secondbaseman Nate Cole is also having a nice season but it is unlikely he will ever have a role in the major leagues.
