August was a good month for a pair of outfielders in the organization. At the WPK level, Antonio Puente captured Batter-of-the-Month honors for August while at the AAA level centerfielder Pat Rondeau earned the same honor for the month.
Rumor has it that with the calendar having turned to September and WPK active rosters allowed to expand to 40, Rondeau's reward for all of his fine play with the Chester Big Stick this season will be his first taste of big league play. Given that the Brewers have virtually no chance of making the post-season, the speedy young outfielder will likely be given plenty of playing time to see if he is ready for the next level.
