Brewer's Organizational Report: Minor league promotions
With four players called up from AAA, there was need for a bit of shifting of minor league talent and a few significant promotions were made by the team. Probably the biggest is the elevation of 19-year old firstbaseman/outfielder Bobby Erbakan to the AAA Chester Big Stick. Erbakan is considered the top prospect in the organization (#16 in the WPK) and was extremely unhappy at AA Nashville due largely to the teams abject failure this year (44-89 as of Sept. 5th.) Erbakan is expected to take over as the starter at firstbase for the Brewers in 1968, though there are some dissenters in the front office who feel that Erbakan's skills are wasted in that position. (He is a natural centerfielder.)
