There isn't much to report at this time from the lower levels of the minor leagues. Recently drafted lefty reliever Jeremy Walker has fared pretty well thus far at Jersey City in spite of his lack of control. But in order to move up the system he will need to at least reverse those BB/9 and K/9 numbers.
Pretty good firstbase prospect Steve Hobza has done all right at Jersey City though he is inexplicably unhappy (every one of his morale indicators is normal but his overall morale is unhappy- what gives, Steve?). One of the best signs with Hobza is that he is displaying very fine patience at the plate and has a solid OBP.
And finally, the top pick for the Brewers in this year's draft (#5 overall), Joe McPhillips, isn't exactly tearing it up so far in the Rookie League but is holding his own just fine. And like Hobza, McPhillips shows nice plate discipline.
