The AA Nashville club has a pretty solid clump of prospects who might not be far from having a role on the Brewers.
Two of the best are pitchers who are currently on the Disabled List: starter Rob Ibarra and reliever Jaden Francis.
Ibarra will need to make some improvements on his change-up before he will be a viable big leaguer, but if he does he has the potential to be a solid mid-rotation starter for the Brewers in the next few seasons. Unfortunately, while he has pitched well in 1968, his season has been interrupted by several relatively minor injuries and there is some concern about his future durability.
Francis, the Brewers first round draft pick in 1965, is developing very well and really just needs to get a bit more command of his pitches to become a valuable member of the Brewers bullpen.
