2011 SOUVENIR PROGRAM
On behalf of the owners of the Nashville Sounds Baseball Club, I want to personally thank you for choosing to spend your time with us this summer for the 34th season of Nashville Sounds Baseball. Expectations for our organization have been raised on all fronts and I continually strive to raise our standards even higher in 2011. While ticket prices remain unchanged, we are committed to improving the fan experience and making Greer Stadium an enjoyable place to watch a ballgame. Many fun promotions and giveaways are featured throughout the season, and we will continue to offer the most affordable, family-friendly entertainment in Middle Tennessee. Along with the return of the turn-back-the-clock atmosphere of Taco Bell Throwback Thursday, we’re introducing a new Kids Eat Free promotion on Wednesdays and increasing the number of Faith Night concerts and fireworks shows. We are honored and proud to be the top affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers. The Brewers organization has made significant offseason trades in order to reach their ultimate goal of winning the World Series, and the same success and competitiveness is anticipated from your Nashville Sounds. The Brewers’ plan of drafting and developing quality players has evolved into a talented minor league system over the past decade, and we have been privileged to witness most of Milwaukee’s starting lineup play in a Sounds uniform over the past few years. Although the Sounds fell short of a playoff berth in the competitive American Conference Northern Division, last season’s club increased its win total from the previous year with the league’s fifth-best record. It had some exciting moments, capped by Chase Wright’s one-hitter, Brendan Katin’s tape-measuring home runs, and the team’s numerous come-from-behind wins. Some of Milwaukee’s top prospects will come through Nashville again in 2011, including #1 prospect Mark Rogers. In addition, the Sounds should boast familiar faces at the ballpark. PCL All-Star and 2010 Fan Favorite Brendan Katin , who has spent the past three seasons in a Nashville uniform, is only 23 home runs and 46 RBIs behind Chad Hermansen for the top spot on the Sounds’ all-time career leaderboard. Tim Dillard is on the verge of becoming the all-time leader in wins and strikeouts. We plan to honor manager Don Money as he climbs the Sounds’ all-time career wins list for managers with a fun promotion on Mondays at the ballpark as well as a bobblehead giveaway. As you support your hometown team, we hope the time spent at Greer Stadium will turn into lasting memories with your family and friends. I look forward to seeing you at the ballpark throughout the 2011 season. On behalf of our ownership, management, and the players, thank you again for your continued support. Go Sounds!

Dear fellow Sounds fans: As Mayor of Nashville and an avid baseball fan, it is my pleasure to welcome you to another exciting season with the Nashville Sounds. Year after year, it is your cheers that inspire each team member to play his best. Thank you for coming out to support our team.

Welcome Fans: On behalf of Minor League Baseball, I would like to welcome you to Herschel Greer Stadium, home of the Pacific Coast League Nashville Sounds. I hope you enjoy watching future Major League stars, the game and all of the events surrounding it and return often to see the Sounds during the 2011 season. Minor League Baseball is deeply committed to each and every community our 20 leagues and over 250 clubs call home. Last year, over 41.4-million fans visited our ballparks, despite the unique economic circumstances in our country. We believe that our clubs offer the best value of all family entertainment options and hope you will always feel at home right here at Herschel Greer Stadium. Last year, our clubs supported local charities with annual giving of cash and in-kind gifts over $9-million. This year, the Minor League Baseball Charities Foundation will once again support The ALS Association, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Special Olympics and Ed Randall’s Bat for the Cure, as well as other local worthy endeavors. This commitment to the communities our clubs call home is a longstanding characteristic of Minor League Baseball and we appreciate the opportunity to serve your community. Thank you for your continued support of Minor League Baseball and the Sounds. Best wishes for an outstanding 2011 season!! Sincerely,
Pat O’Conner President Minor League Baseball

Dear Fans Welcome to another season of Triple-A baseball, the 109th campaign overall in our colorful PCL history. Every season seems to be better than the last, and the campaign from a year ago highlighted that dramatically -- a hard-fought season concluded in which all four divisional races were decided on the final weekend. That down-to-the-wire finish was a first for this league since Triple-A Baseball’s 1998 realignment. In the end, Tacoma rose above its other three rivals marching to its first outright PCL title in over 40 years. But the excitement last season was not confined to the closing weeks, and fan turnout proved that point. A combination of high-quality play by our 16 clubs showcasing tomorrow’s Major League stars and the always attention-grabbing entertainment brought out crowds again in stellar numbers. Our league surpassed the seven million mark in attendance for the sixth consecutive season, something no other league in Minor League Baseball has ever accomplished. The Nashville Sounds were part of this overall success as it increased its own attendance over the 2009 turnout. Of course, the Nashville fans were treated to a Sounds team that was in the thick of its own division race until the very end. As an affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers, winning has become a reliable outcome with the Sounds having an over-.500 record in five of their last six seasons. Manager Don Money returns in 2011 for another shot at the championship that barely eluded them last year. So, a new baseball season once again brings with it that refreshed optimism and the continuing confidence Herschel Greer Stadium is once again the place to be. Thank you for continuing to support the Pacific Coast League and one of its finest franchises, the Nashville Sounds. I know this season is guaranteed to provide many more hours of affordable family enjoyment.

2010SeasonReview The Nashville Sounds finished the 2010 season with a 77-67 record, finishing fourth in the PCL American Conference Northern Division, five games behind co-leading Iowa and Memphis. The Sounds had the PCL’s 5th-best overall record. It was the franchise’s 22nd winning season in 33 years of competition and a two-victory increase over the previous season’s 75-69 record. Led by secondyear manager Don Money, the Sounds spent 75 days in first place, with the last occurrence on July 19th. Nashville drew 319,235 fans to 67 home openings at Greer Stadium in 2010, an average of 4,765 per contest, placing 14th in the Pacific Coast League. It was an attendance increase of five percent from the previous season (305,434). The Sounds lost a league-high five home dates due to weather. The largest crowd to watch a game at Greer was a standing-room-only attendance of 10,791 on May 12th, when the Sounds hosted Tacoma. Shortstop Luis Cruz was named the 2010 Sounds team MVP in voting by team players and coaches. The infielder led Nashville in hits (137), doubles (29), extra-base hits (42), and finished third in RBIs (68) and games (129). Outfielder Brendan Katin was voted the 2010 Sounds Fan Favorite in an online poll of Sounds fans. Nashville compiled a .275 team batting average, which tied for the 8th-best mark in the PCL and for the 5th-best seasonal mark in Sounds history. Norris Hopper finished with a team-leading .286 batting average. Sounds hitters produced four grand slams (Cruz, Katin, Ray Olmedo, Mat Gamel), four pinch-hit home runs (Johnny Raburn, Adam Stern, and two by Joe Koshansky), one five-hit game by Erick Almonte, and 10 four-hit games. Sounds hitters registered seven multiple-homer games, including three by Katin and two by Koshansky. Nashville pinch-hitters batted .296 (32-for-108) with four home runs and 15 RBIs; Stern led the club with a .462 pinch-hit average (6-for-13), while Almonte had the most PH opportunities (31 AB). The Sounds stole only 94 bases on the year, their first season with less than 100 thefts since 2001. Nashville legged out a league-low 24 triples and drew 439 walks, 2nd-fewest in the PCL. Katin and Koshansky tied for 6th in the league with 26 home runs apiece to co-lead the club for the second straight year (for Katin, 26 homers was a new single-season career high). Katin ranked 4th in the circuit with a .580 slugging percentage and posted the PCL’s 3rd-best home run to at-bat ratio (1 HR every 12.92 AB). Katin moved up the Sounds career leaderboards throughout the year, finishing 2nd in club history in home runs (69) and RBIs (240), trailing Chad Hermansen in both categories; he also ranks among Nashville’s all-time top ten in doubles (5th-74). Koshansky ranks 7th in Sounds history with 50 career longballs. Sounds hurlers posted a 4.27 ERA, which ranked 3rd in the circuit behind Omaha (4.01) and Oklahoma City (4.03). Nashville pitchers racked up 938 strikeouts on the year, marking the second straight year the Sounds failed to reach 1,000 K’s after hitting that plateau in seven consecutive campaigns. Fourteen different pitchers started a game for the Sounds in 2010 and ten different pitchers recorded a save, led by Chris Smith’s league-leading 26. Smith’s 26 saves rank as the 2nd-highest single-season total in club history (Mark Corey, 30); the right-hander’s 43 career saves for Nashville are secondmost in club history (Mark Corey, 46). The Sounds finished 2nd in the PCL with 42 saves as a team. Nashville pitchers surrendered three grand slams. The Sounds produced six shutouts on the season and one complete-game shutout, a nine-inning one-hitter by Chase Wright (see page 17). Eleven different starting pitchers on the staff threw a quality start, totaling 60 on the year (three more than the previous season). (continued on page 17)

April 15 at Omaha: Brendan Katin’s Game-Winning Sac Fly Gives Sounds A 7-1 Record To Open Season
On June 16 versus Memphis at Greer Stadium, Wright authored the best pitching performance of the season by any PCL hurler. He hurled a nine-inning, one-hit shutout, allowing only a game-opening Jon Jay single. It was the only one-hitter of any type in the PCL in 2010 (there were zero no-hitters), yet this virtuoso performance was inexplicably not even worthy of a Pitcher of the Week honor for the left-hander. It was Wright’s third career shutout and first since 2007. He walked four batters and struck out four in his 111-pitch effort. The completegame shutout was the first by a Nashville hurler in four seasons, dating back to an Adam Pettyjohn seven-hit gem on July 30, 2007. Tim Dillard hit a league-high 16 batters, a new Sounds single-season record. Chuck Löfgren issued the 2nd-most walks in the circuit (75). David Johnson struck out 66 batters in his 65.0 relief innings, the 3rd-best K per 9 IP ratio among PCL relievers (9.14).

Sharon Ridley Named 2010 Rawlings Woman Executive Of The Year Minor League Baseball announced that Nashville Sounds office manager Sharon Ridley has been named as the recipient of the 2010 Rawlings Woman Executive of the Year award. The award, presented by Rawlings, is based on outstanding contributions by a female executive to a Minor League ball club or league throughout the season. Ridley was chosen from a group of 16 nominees, one from each of the minor leagues.
the Nashville Sounds and that is Sharon Ridley,” said Minor League Baseball president Pat O’Conner. “Sharon has successfully worked in virtually every capacity with the Sounds over the years and in many ways is one of the public faces of the organization. Her dedication to Sounds baseball makes her an excellent choice for the Rawlings Woman Executive of the Year Award.” In the past year, Sharon has been struck by more than her fair share of personal tragedies. She lost both a son and her mother to long battles with illnesses, and her family was heavily affected by the historic Nashville Flood in May. Like many other Middle Tennessee residents, she and her family were forced to evacuate their home of 35 years.
The prominent award, which has been given out annually since 1976, was formally presented to Ridley on December 6 at the Baseball Winter Meetings Award Luncheon in Orlando, Florida. “I am so honored to have been chosen as the 2010 Rawlings Woman Executive of the Year,” Ridley said. “My selection for this award is such an unexpected and wonderful surprise! I have been blessed to work with the Nashville Sounds and Minor League Baseball for over 23 years. Coming to work every day at the ballpark and interacting with so many great people on our staff and in our community has been a joy for me. It has been a great journey and I have enjoyed it so much.”
“We are all very proud of Sharon for receiving this prestigious honor,” said Sounds general manager Brad Tammen. “She is a great ambassador for the Sounds, and to baseball in general. The most incredible feature of Sharon is her permanent smile that is able to brighten the entire office ... rain or shine.” Credit: Steve Densa/MiLB.com
Her smiling face and friendly voice have greeted every person who has called the Sounds or visited the team’s front office for the past quarter-century. “Through ownership and affiliation changes there has been one constant with
After first becoming familiar with her work in 1990 when I became my newspaper’s beat writer, and having known her work over the ensuing two decades, it came as no surprise that she was selected for this recognition. Describing her as an ‘office manager’ is as much of an understatement as referring to Albert Pujols as a ‘baseball player.’ She is far more. Larry Taft Sports Editor at The Tennessean

Sharon is the consistent face of the Nashville Sounds organization within the community. She is not only personable, considerate, caring, and polite, but also she is committed, responsible, and always willing to help with any need or request. Over the years, we have experienced, first-hand, her dependability, reliability, hard-working, and conscientious loyal qualities. The “Jeff Fisher & Friends” Team
Sharon’s dedication and hard work in the various roles with the Nashville Sounds have contributed in the success of their organization. She has always represented the Sounds well and in a professional manner.
Doug Melvin Milwaukee Brewers General Manager
Ridley follows in the footsteps of former Sounds ticket director Dot Cloud, who won the national Rawlings Award in 1997 -- the only previous honoree in the team’s 33-year history. A native of Glasgow, Kentucky, Ridley resides in Nolensville with her husband, Steve. She has two children, three step-children, and two granddaughters. She earned her undergraduate degree from Western Kentucky University.
We have been season ticket holders at the Sounds for eight years and supported them before being ticket holders. We became acquainted with Sharon while coming to the games and talking to her when I would call for information. Sharon always has a smile on her face and truly cares about the fans, the players, and all she works with. Carol & Bob Burgess Sounds Season Ticket Holders
Sharon is a dedicated and enthusiastic employee, who has worked hard for Minor League Baseball in Middle Tennessee. In many ways, she is the face and voice of the Nashville Sounds.
Richard Sterban Partner & Vocalist of the Oak Ridge Boys
Sharon came to work for the Nashville Sounds in the late 1980s and immediately, along with Dot Cloud, became our goodwill ambassador. Sharon though the years has served three ownerships and numerous General Managers with complete loyalty and enthusiasm. Sharon, through serious health issues and the loss of a son, has kept her love of Minor League Baseball and the Sounds alive in Nashville. Larry Schmittou Owner of the Sounds from 1978-1997
Ridley Featured In espnW
Ridley, the longest-tenured employee in Sounds history, recently completed her 23rd consecutive season in the team’s front office in 2010 after initially joining the club in 1988 as Advertising Secretary. In addition to handling receptionist and secretarial duties in her current role as Office Manager, she sells ticket packages and print ads for the team’s souvenir program and oversees the customer service staff during home games.
Amazingly, Sharon has kept the same glowing smile on her face through all this adversity by remaining upbeat through her passion for the Sounds, her loving family, and her strong faith.
Greer Stadium Named Tennessee’s Professional Field Of The Year Sounds Groundskeeper Thomas Trotter & His Staff Recognized By Tennessee Turfgrass Association The Tennessee Turfgrass Association (TTA) named Herschel Greer Stadium and Nashville Sounds Head Groundskeeper Thomas Trotter as the recipient of the 2010 TTA Professional Field of the Year Award. Greer Stadium was chosen as the winner among all professional fields in the state of Tennessee with a natural grass playing surface and at least two full seasons of play. In an effort of distinguishing fields across the state and gaining professional acknowledgement of its members, this award is based on special challenges faced and innovative solutions to playing surface problems, while also providing outstanding contributions to the turfgrass industry. “Southern Athletic Fields has had the opportunity of servicing the groundskeeping needs of the Nashville Sounds for over 15 years, and during this time, we have seen many challenges in maintaining the playing surface at Greer Stadium to Triple-A baseball standards,” said TTA Awards Committee member Bill Marbet, owner of Southern Athletic Fields. “For the past two seasons, the Sounds organization and Head Groundskeeper Thomas Trotter have exceeded the expectations of what most thought could be achieved. He and his staff have taken a strong work ethic with a plan to succeed, making the playing surface one of the best in minor league baseball.” Along with the Collegiate, High School, and Municipal Fields of the Year Awards, Trotter was recognized at the annual TTA Awards Banquet on January 5th in Franklin, Tenn. Under the supervision of Trotter, Assistant Groundskeeper John Handzel and seasonal assistants Bryan Bonnell and Alex Norman also contributed to the success of Greer’s improvements. This is the first year this award has been given by the TTA Awards Committee, which consists of highly regarded TTA professionals. “I wanted this award to show others the dedication of ownership, management, and my staff involved with the field at Greer,” said Trotter. “As an active member in the sports turf community, I am very proud of how far this organization has come professionally, and look forward to enhancing our sports turf program in the future.” Trotter worked for the San Diego Padres and Louisville Bats before being hired as Head Groundskeeper of the Nashville Sounds in April 2009. He earned a Turfgrass Degree from Clemson University. The Tennessee Turfgrass Association serves its members in the industry through education, promotion and representation. The association supports ongoing programs in research, education, and extension in the area of turfgrass management that will benefit all individuals who manage turfgrasses or derive pleasure from the results of such management.

Don Money Looks Back On His Career by Bill Traughber
Nashville Sounds Manager Don Money is not enshrined into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY. That honor is reserved to the small percentage of Major League players that displayed an extraordinary ability to play the game. But Don Money could play the game.

shortstop. Money would play the next two seasons in Clinton (Midwest League) batting .236 (108-for-458) and in Raleigh (Carolina League) where his totals increased to .310 (149-for-480) with 16 home runs. Money was selected as the league’s MVP.
“When I went to the first tryout, I wasn’t out of high school. I graduated when I was 17 and a week later I was 18. Both tryouts were in Virginia and after the second one Syd Thrift signed me after 10 days in camp. I went home for a couple of days and was assigned to Salem of the Appalachian League.”
“I didn’t really think about it,” Money said about the trade. “It worked out better for me. At the time I was with Pittsburgh and Freddie Patek was ahead of me. Then the shortstop in Pittsburgh was Gene Alley. Alley had just come off a great year. So I got traded to the Phillies in the Jim Bunning deal. Then Gene Alley got hurt, and Freddie Patek was then the shortstop for the Pirates. Then after a year, I ended up being the shortstop with the Phillies. It worked out for all of us.”
oney was born in Washington, D.C., but his family moved to New Jersey when he was just two weeks old. At age 10, the family moved back to the D.C. area where Money went to grade school and in La Plata, MD for his last two years of high school.
“My high school coach, Dick Stone, called a Pittsburgh scout that was living in Baltimore,” Money said recently. “He told the scout that there might be a kid down here he might want to take a look at. I was playing shortstop and pitcher, but they liked me more as a fielder. The Pirates invited me to two tryout camps.”
As a youngster growing up, Money’s heroes were Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays, though Harmon Killebrew playing for the Washington Senators was also a favorite. Money said that it was a difficult adjustment going from high school into professional baseball.
Service test and
“I could have had a job in the government. So when I went to the tryout camps I ended up signing and I didn’t get any money, of course. I got my Civil Service notice that said to come work for the government. My mom asked me what I was going to do. I told her to play baseball and see where it takes me. Once in awhile she’d ask if I was sure I didn’t want to go into government work. I played baseball and things worked out.”
PITTSBURGH PIRATES
After his season in Raleigh, the Pirates traded Money (with Harold Clem, Woodie Fryman and Bill Laxton) to Philadelphia for future Hall of Famer Jim Bunning.
Money was in the Phillies spring camp and actually made the opening day Phillies roster in 1968. Money said his new teammates were not a lot of big names. He sounded off the lineup as Bill White at first base; Cookie Rojas at second base; Bobby Wine at shortstop; Dick Allen at third base; Tony Gonzalez in center field; Don Lock in left field; Johnny Callison in right field; Mike Ryan was the catcher. Pitchers were Dick Selma, Turk Farrell and Rick Wise.
In high school, Money was playing against guys his own age and suddenly his competition is college and junior college athletes. While playing summer ball at ages 16 and 17 in Southern Maryland, Money did play against and with players in their 30’s. “Everybody thinks they have the ability,” said Money. “It is far and in-between when you stop and think about it. There are so many players out there that have the ability that don’t really get the chance. And a lot of those players get the chance don’t take it. My father was for me playing baseball professionally, but my mother was shaky on it. We lived outside of Washington and I took the Civil passed.
PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES
In Salem (1965), a short season rookie league, the right-hander appeared in 66 games, batted .241 (52-for-216) with six home runs playing mostly at
“We went to Dodger Stadium where I played,” Money said about the Phillies opening season road trip. “Then we went from Dodger Stadium to the Giants and to Houston. Then we came home and I didn’t play at all. I was a young guy and didn’t want to sit on the bench. Gene Mauch was the manager. Mauch was a manager that liked older players. He didn’t want young guys making mistakes. I understand that. After three weeks I was sent down to Triple-A.” April 10, 1968 was a day that Money will never forget. The 21-year-old was playing in his first Major League game and vividly remembers his first plate appearances. “I think I was hitting seventh in the lineup,” Money said. “It was in Dodger Stadium with 50,000 people in front of you. In Triple-A you played in front of about 4,000 fans. In my first at-bat, I hit a ground ball to short with men on first and third. I got an RBI. In my second at-bat, I got a double and drove in Larry Hisle. I drove in both runs in the game. Chris Short was our pitcher and we ended up winning, 2-0. Claude Osteen was the pitcher both times.”

Money Career Statistics
took a 9-6 lead. I was the fourth hitter in the inning. In front of me was something like a base hit, error and a walk. I walked up there and the pitcher threw a high pitch from the stretch.
“He went into the stretch again and I hit it for a home run. Billy Martin came running out while waving to his first baseman. Martin claimed his first baseman called a timeout. The question was did he have time to call timeout. The first baseman said he started to call a timeout. I thought started to, and having enough time is different. So they called it back. Then I popped out to short right field and got nothing for it.”
In 1970, Money was moved over to third base to make room for a young shortstop Larry Bowa. That would be his best season in Philadelphia where he batted a career-high .295 with 14 home runs and 66 RBIs in 120 games. He saw his average dip into the .220s the next two seasons, but started in 152 games in 1972.
MILWAUKEE BREWERS
Money was such an outstanding fielder at third base that he would acquire the nickname “Brooks” after Brooks Robinson the Orioles’ Hall of Fame third baseman. Because of a batting slump and Mike Schmidt ready to takeover at third base for the Phillies, Money was traded in 1973 to Milwaukee in the American League in a seven-player deal.

In his brief stay in Philadelphia, Money was 3-for-13 batting .231 in four games. In Triple-A San Diego, he finished the season batting .303 (146-for-482), with nine home runs and 59 RBIs in 127 games. The next season, Money would be in the big leagues for good as Philadelphia’s starting shortstop.
First Major League Home Run
Money slugged 176 career home runs in the Major Leagues. In his first full season in the big leagues in 1969 Money recalls his first dinger. “We were in Chicago’s Wrigley Field on opening day against Fergie Jenkins,” said Money. “It was in the seventh inning and we were down, 5-1. You don’t think about hitting home runs, you just think about hitting the ball hard. I hit a solo home run to make the score 5-2. Then I came up in the ninth with two men on and hit a three-run homer. Then in the 11th inning, I hit a double to put us ahead, 6-5. Willie Smith hit a tworun homer to beat us 7-6 in 11 innings. Another guy to hit two home runs that day was Ernie Banks.” Another memorable home run for Money came on Opening Day on April 10, 1971 in Philadelphia. This was the first game ever played in Veterans Stadium. Money hit the first home run in “The Vet” in the sixth inning off Bill Stoneman. The Phillies, behind Jim Bunning, defeated the Expos that day, 4-1. Money hit more home runs off Hall of Fame pitcher Ferguson Jenkins (6) than any other Major League hurler. He hit home runs off 124 different pitchers that include Jim Palmer, Catfish Hunter, Gaylord Perry, Steve Carlton, Rollie Fingers, and Nolan Ryan. The one team Money hit the most home runs (16) off were against the Baltimore Orioles.
THE HOME RUN NEVER RECORDED
There was also one memorable home run that never was recorded. “I hit a grand slam that didn’t count,” Money said. “It was the bottom of the ninth after we had given up five runs to the Yankees and they

“In Philly, I struggled my first year, but had a very good second year,” said Money. “I felt good going into spring training in 1971. I was mainly a pull hitter. I was hitting .300 all year, but they wanted to change my stroke to hit more balls to right and right center. They also told me I might end up dropping 70 points in my average. “So I got a little messed up. I hit something like .221 playing everyday. Then the next year they brought up Mike Schmidt. I played a little left (continued on page 31)

field and second base and that is when the trade was made that winter. It was good for me. I was in a rut and couldn’t get out of it. In Milwaukee I could start over fresh.” In Milwaukee, his average climbed back to the .280s while batting in the leadoff spot for the Brewers. In 1973, he stole a career-high 22 bases (and 19 in 1974). Money also led the AL third basemen in fielding in1973 and 1974. He led the American League with 629 at-bats. Money was voted the Brewers MVP in 1974 and 1977. During the 1977 season, he set a Major League record for consecutive errorless chances at third base (261) and currently holds the Major League record for most consecutive errorless games at that position (88) set from September 28, 1973 through July 16, 1974. “When the Brewers added Sal Bando to their roster in 1977, Money was moved to second base. This is when he had his best year in baseball reaching career-high’s in home runs (25), RBIs (83) and runs (86). Near the end of his career, Money was primarily the DH. “The club makes that decision for you,” Money said about retiring at the end of the 1983 season. “There were some opportunities that they gave me. If I took my release, I probably could have signed with somebody else. At the time I wasn’t playing much. In 1981 was the strike season. I played about 40 games the first half and 20 the second half. For what I did I could have stayed home. “The next year I had a very good year. I was the right-handed DH and Roy Howell was the left-handed DH. Then in 1983 I didn’t play much. Ted Simmons was still there and he was a switch-hitter. So that eliminated both DH’s. I got about 114 at-bats. I was hurt early in the year. I was hitting the ball very well, but couldn’t get any hits.” Paul Molitor became the Brewers regular third baseman during the 1982 season. He would be enshrined into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2004.
KINTETSU BUFFALOES
Money did take an offer to play baseball in 1984 with the Kintetsu Buffaloes in Japan. He was hitting .260 with eight home runs in 29 games as a DH/second baseman. Living in Japan was not a pleasant experience for Money. “It was a big decision even to go,” Money said. “I talked it over with the wife. We decided to go and I was signed through the 1984 season. So the family went, but a lot of things were not the way they told us. It is very hard talking to someone through someone (using an interpreter). And I don’t know what he is telling you. Sometimes what I asked through an interpreter was relayed differently. I don’t know what they are talking about. “It was a combination of things. The travel was worse than what they said and the apartment was not what they said. It was a collection of small things that didn’t work out. Then they put the nail in the coffin. They blamed my daughter, who was 11 years old. They said, ‘If your daughter wasn’t here, you’d probably stay.’ We were playing a day game and I
walked up to the ground seats where the GM was and told him this was my last game. He told me I couldn’t do that and I left the next day. I was leading the league in home runs. The team was in first place and I was hitting .260. I just decided I was going home and left after a month.”
POSTSEASON EXPERIENCE
While in Philadelphia and Milwaukee, Money played on average teams, but he did have postseason experience in Milwaukee. The Brewers won the American League East Division in 1981, but lost to the Yankees in the playoffs, three games to two. Money was 0-for-3 in the series. The Brewers repeated as American League East champs in 1982 defeating the Angels in the playoffs, three games to two. Money was 2-for-11 with one RBI in the series. The victory would place Milwaukee in the World Series against St. Louis. Money was 3-for-13 with one RBI and four runs scored in the Cardinals four games to three WS triumph. “I remember in the first game Jim Kaat was pitching and I lined to right center for one out. Then I hit a ball in the hole that I beat out for a base hit. You are trying to win and you are trying to win a World Series. We lost to the Cardinals. Technically we had the better club, but didn’t win. “Rollie Fingers got hurt for us that year. We had a three games to two lead and wound up losing the last two. It was an honor to be there. The biggest thing was my son was 12 years old and he was our batboy the first two games in St. Louis. He kids me that it took him 12 years to get to the World Series and it took me 14 years.”
HANK AARON
Hank Aaron retired from baseball in 1976 as the game’s all-time home run king with 755 (since broken by Barry Bonds in 2007 with 762). He played his last two seasons (197576) in Milwaukee as he began his career with the Milwaukee Braves. Though it was not known at the time, Aaron slugged his 755th and final home run in Milwaukee County Stadium on July 20, 1976 off Angels pitcher Dick Drago. Money was a teammate in the lineup that historic day. “One big fallacy about Hank is that he wasn’t like everybody else,” said Money. “I know that Hank Aaron had the home run record for many years. He never hit 50 home runs in a single season and hit many

in the 40’s for a long time. Hank was a good guy. I remember sitting in Detroit having a beer with him. He would talk about last night’s game or last month’s game. He didn’t talk about himself and his accomplishments. “He was a down to earth guy. I knew he went through a lot during his career. His hotel room might say room 101 and he would not be in that room or in another hotel. That was the way it was in those days. When I was managing in Huntsville, in the Southern League, we’d go to Mobile’s Hank Aaron Stadium. I’d run across him every once in awhile and we’d talk baseball.”
ALL-STAR APPEARANCES
Money was also involved in four All-Star games. In 1974, he did not get into the game in Pittsburgh, but was 0-for-1 in the 1976 game in Philadelphia. In 1977, Yankee Stadium was the host site, but again was unable to make an appearance. In 1978, Money was voted as the starting second baseman for the American League and became the first Brewers’ player to earn an All-Star starting spot. He was 0-for-2. “I only played in two of those four All-Star games,” Money said. “I would say the game played in San Diego was the most memorable. In 1978, I was the first Milwaukee Brewer voted to be a starter. The thing about that was I was on the ballot at second base, but I was playing first base that year because Cecil Cooper broke his leg. “I was playing first base the majority of the first half of that season. But I was voted in as a second baseman. I lined out to right field trying to move the runner over. In Philly, in 1976, I popped out off Vida Blue. It is an honor to play. In the first game I didn’t play at all. We lost every game that I played. At that time the National League was whipping our butts.”

FACING THE OPPOSITION
Money said that as a hitter you could never step into the batter’s box without confidence, no matter who the opposing pitcher is. And he faced some of the game’s most intimidating pitchers like Bob Gibson and Don Drysdale. “You can never be afraid to go to the plate,” said Money. “I faced Bob Gibson and hit a triple off him. Now that might have been the only hit I got off him. There is nobody you are ever afraid. There are pitchers that have pitches that can get you out. One year Gibson had 13 shutouts and his ERA was about 1.00. There is a reason he had 13 shutouts because he could pitch. I faced Tom Seaver when he was in New York. I don’t think I ever got a hit off him. That was a pretty tough staff up there. Jerry Koosman, Seaver, Gary Gentry and Nolan Ryan. You can go in there and strike out 15 times in a series. Money, 62, said that the New York Yankees and the White Sox were the teams he disliked the most. He said the White Sox would do that “Na, Na, Na, hey, hey, good-bye” chant when they were winning. And of course, most teams dislike the dominance of the Yankees.
MANAGERIAL CAREER
In 2009, Money became the Sounds 22nd manager in its 33year history. Money began his minor league coaching career with the Oneonta Tigers (Single-A) from 1987-1988. He became manager of the Single-A Beloit Snappers in 1998. After seven years in Beloit, Money moved to Double-A Huntsville Stars in 2005 as the Brewers affiliate. Money was named the Southern League Manager of the Year in 2007 and on May 14, 2008 became the Stars all-time winningest manager. His all-time managing record prior to 2010 is 815-849. Money was 7569 in his inaugural season as the Sounds manager in 2009.
LOOKING BACK
In 2005, Money was enshrined as a member of the Milwaukee Brewers Walk of Fame, which recognizes the franchises top players. Money was asked looking back what is he most proud to have accomplished as a Major League player? “The biggest thing I look back on is, I just went out there and played the game,” Money said. “I just helped the team to do whatever to win. I wasn’t a big home run hitter though I hit 25 one year. My average for home runs was about 15 a year until the last few years.
That’s what I did. You played to win. I wasn’t crying because I didn’t get a chance to bat third in the lineup.” Money’s 16-year Major League career totals include a .261 average with 176 home runs and 729 RBIs in 1, 720 games. His lifetime on-base percentage is .328 and a .406 slugging percentage. Money collected 80 stolen bases scoring 798 runs with 1,623 hits in 6,215 at-bats. These are not Hall of Fame numbers, but Don Money could play the game. The record book backs it up.
“I remember in Boston I hit a home run in the first inning because I hit leadoff. I hit a home run again in the third inning. In the fifth inning, I was asked to bunt with a man on first base. So you bunt. No questions asked. You don’t put on the long face. If the manager puts the bunt sign on-you bunt.

Proud to be celebrating 25 years in Nashville!
Flood Relief Nashville Sounds “Play Ball!” Project The Nashville Sounds launched the “Play Ball!” Project last season to help Middle Tennessee youth baseball organizations recover from major flood damage. Five of the Nashville Sounds’ regular season home games during the 2010 season were dedicated to five area youth baseball organizations that were hardest hit by the flood. The Sounds donated a total of 12,000 tickets to the games, in which 100% of the proceeds - as much as $120,000 - going to youth organizations in need of flood recovery assistance. “Since the flood, individuals and organizations throughout Nashville have shown tremendous generosity in helping each other and our community recover,” Nashville Mayor Karl Dean said. “As a huge baseball fan and big believer in the value of youth sports, I can’t think of a better way for the Nashville Sounds to engage in our city’s recovery efforts. This project shows the Sounds organization’s continued commitment to our city.” The Nashville Sounds and the “Play Ball!” Project sponsors contributed more than $70,000 in cash and equipment to help these teams get back on their feet. Youth baseball fields in Nashville’s Shelby Park, Mount Juliet, Hendersonville, Ashland City, and Bellevue were severely damaged by the flooding and had been struggling to make a recovery. Each of these communities were represented at a special Nashville Sounds home game where ticket sales helped raise money for their organzations. The Project assisted up to 15,000 ballplayers and 40 baseball, softball, and soccer fields in the area. “The flood has taken a serious toll on youth baseball in Middle Tennessee,” said Brad Tammen, Vice President / General Manager for the Sounds. “Some of these facilities were just wiped out. The Nashville Sounds and others in this community want to help get these kids back out on the field.” Partners in the Nashville Sounds “Play Ball!” Project included: Khesed Foundation, Minor League Baseball, Louisville Slugger, Centerplate, The Cold Heading Foundation, The Milwaukee Brewers, Wilson Sporting Goods, NewsChannel5 Network, and 104.5 The Zone. Total amount raised throughout the 2010 season resulted in $130,744 in cash and equipment donations.
Commemorating MiLB Charities contribution to the Nashville Sounds Foundation’s “Play Ball!” project in June, Minor League Baseball President Pat O’Conner presented a $25,000 check to aid in the recovery of over 40 baseball & softball fields and to help more than 15,000 area youth players get back on the field.

On Field Preview By Tom Haudricourt Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Baseball America
T
here was a common perception among baseball pundits that the Milwaukee Brewers gutted their farm system over the winter in two remarkable trades that significantly upgraded their starting pitching.
And, yes, they did give up a lot to acquire Shaun Marcum from Toronto and Zack Greinke from Kansas City. But for those who insist the Brewers’ minor league cupboard is now bare, scouting director Bruce Seid is happy to offer a rebuttal. “We have work to do but our fans can feel good about what the future holds for the Brewers’ system down the road,” said Seid. General manager Doug Melvin acknowledged he surrendered some of the organization’s best prospects to get Marcum and Greinke in trades two weeks apart in December. Second baseman Brett Lawrie, a first-round draft pick in 2008 who was an advanced offensive player at age 20, returned to his native Canada in a one-for-one swap for Marcum. Lawrie almost certainly would have been assigned to Nashville in 2011 after spending last season at Class AA Huntsville, earning his second berth in the All-Star Futures Game. At the time of the deal, he was slated to be ranked as the No. 1 prospect in the Brewers’ system by Baseball America. After Lawrie was shipped to Toronto, right-hander Jake Odorizzi was in line to move up to the top spot on the Brewers’ prospect list. A supplemental first-round pick in the ’08 draft, Odorizzi never made to that coveted slot, however. Instead, Odorizzi was including in a package of four players sent to Kansas City for Greinke and shortstop Yuniesky Betancourt. Shortstop Alcides Escobar, the Brewers’ No. 1 prospect entering 2010 and a member of the Sounds’ roster the previous year until a late-season call-up to Milwaukee, right-hander Jeremy Jeffress and centerfielder Lorenzo Cain also were included in that deal.
It was that same philosophy that prompted Melvin to trade his top prospect, first baseman/outfielder Matt LaPorta, to Cleveland in July 2008 for lefthander CC Sabathia in a package that also sent center-field prospect Michael Brantley to the Indians. Sabathia did exactly what club officials envisioned, leading the Brewers to their first playoff berth in 26 years, and no one in the Milwaukee front office has regretted the deal since. When the smoke cleared from the deals for Marcum and Greinke, righthander Mark Rogers had resurfaced as the top prospect in the organization. And what a story that was for the 2004 first-round draft pick who missed all of the 2007 and 2008 seasons while recovering from a pair of shoulder surgeries. Players forced to sit out an entire year will tell you how mind-numbing the physical therapy process is, how discouraging it is to be out of uniform and away from your teammates. But two consecutive lost seasons? No player would wish that on his worst enemy. “It wasn’t easy,” said Rogers, who appeared targeted for a role in the Nashville starting rotation as the 2011 season approached. “I went through some tough times. It took a couple of surgees but they stuck with me and I saw that hard work eventually pays off.” Rogers returned to the mound in 2009 at Brevard, seeing action in 23 games. With his pitch count strictly monitored, he totaled only 64 2/3 innings but his stuff gradually came back, including his mid- to high 90s (mph) fastball. Rogers allowed only 46 hits while logging 67 strikeouts with a 1.67 earned run average. Rogers made further progress last season after being assigned to Class AA Huntsville. His control was more erratic, resulting in 69 walks in 112 innings - again, his workload was restricted - as Rogers recorded 111 strikeouts and went 6-8 with a 3.71 ERA.
Jeffress, a first-round pick in 2006 slated to be the Brewers’ No. 3 prospect, and Cain both had good chances to make the Milwaukee roster in 2011. But either or both just as easily could have been wearing a Sounds uniform at some point in the season.
The original plan was for Rogers to take the rest of the year off. But after a favorable physical examination in early September, the Brewers decided to add him to their roster, in part as a reward for his long road back from the two shoulder surgeries.
There’s no denying that the Brewers cut a wide swath through the top of their prospect list, but there were solid reasons they were willing to do so, not the least of which was improving a starting rotation that ranked near the bottom of the National League for two years.
After a couple of relief outings for the Brewers, Rogers was given two starts in the final weeks. Including the relief stints, he pitched a total of nine nohit innings before finally giving up his first hit, finishing with two hits, three walks and 11 strikeouts in 10 innings with a 1.80 ERA.
“We do have to be a development and scouting organization because we can’t go into the (free-agent) marketplace and sign whomever we want,” said assistant general manager Gord Ash. “But that doesn’t mean you stockpile them. You use them to make your bigleague team better, as Doug has done. You can’t operate your farm system separate from your major-league club. There has to be a cooperative path between the two.”
“If you would have told me (during the two lost years) that I would have gotten a September call-up and then be the No. 1 prospect, I never would have believed it,” said Rogers. Another player forced to hit the comeback trail is a familiar face in Nashville. Second baseman Eric Farris barely had gotten his 2010 season going with the Sounds when he was sidelined with a knee injury after a collision at home plate with a catcher in Memphis.
(continued on page 42)
“I went out and tried to play the next inning but I couldn’t,” said Farris, who suffered a torn posterior collateral ligament. “They knew right away what it was. The next day I had an MRI that showed it.” Farris, a fourth-round draft pick in 2007 out of Loyola Marymount, didn’t need surgery but he was shut down for three months. He played in only 60 games for Nashville, batting .274 with one homer, nine RBI and 14 stolen bases. Looking to make up for lost at-bats, the Brewers assigned Farris to the Arizona Fall League, where he flourished. He led the Surprise Rafters with a .351 batting average and swiped nine bases in 17 games. Farris realizes he is road-blocked at the big-league level by Brewers second baseman Rickie Weeks, who earlier this spring signed a four-year extension that could expand to five years. At this stage, he sees no reason to fret about that situation, however. “Not at all,” he said. “He deserves everything he got. He’s a great player. I can’t wait to learn from him here. Eventually, one day, I would hope to have something similar to that. “My goal is to be in the major leagues as soon as possible. I know one thing I can bring to the table is defense. My bat, I’m still getting better. I still plan on improving that part of my game.”

O
n the subject of health, third baseman Mat Gamel could use a big dose of good fortune during the 2011 season. He injured a shoulder during spring training 2010 and missed the first two months of the season, delaying his arrival in Nashville. After the season, he had surgery on a troublesome big toe, necessitating more physical therapy. No sooner than he reported to the Brewers’ camp this spring, Gamel strained his right oblique, putting him on the shelf for a couple of weeks and scuttling any chance he had to make the Milwaukee roster for Opening Day. Ticketed to return to the Sounds, he just needs to stay on the field to fulfill his offensive potential and perhaps force his way into the big-league picture at some point.
W
hile the Brewers surrendered a promising young player in Cain to the Royals, they still feel good about their future in center field. The upcoming group includes center-field prospects Logan Schafer, Caleb Gindl, Kentrail Davis and Erik Komatsu, the Brewers’ minor-league player of the year for 2010. At 5-9 and 185 pounds, Gindl is accustomed to hearing unflattering comments about his physique. “They call me the ‘human bowling ball,’” said Gindl, 22, who was impressive as a non-roster invitee to the Brewers’ camp this spring. “That came from breaking up double plays. That’s OK. It doesn’t bother me.” A fifth-round draft pick in 2007, Gindl hasn’t allowed his diminutive stature stop him from moving up through the Brewers’ system. He played at Class AA Huntsville last season, batting .272 with 33 doubles, nine homers and 60 RBI. (continued on page 44)

Double-A pitching proved tough on Gindl at times but he also was undergoing a shift in positions as he switched from right field to center. It was a challenge because Gindl is not what you would call fleet of foot. “It went really well,” he said. “I think I made a good adjustment, once I got out there and got settled in. The biggest adjustment is the ground you have to cover. It’s a lot more ground to cover. That’s the biggest challenge. The first step has to always be true. I’m not a speed guy. That’s why it’s very important to have that first step. They told me if you get good jumps you can make up for that. You just want to catch everything you get to.” Gindl realizes he has competition in center to move up through the system in Logan Schafer and Erik Komatsu, the Brewers’ 2010 minor league player of the year. Schafer will be looking to make up for lost time after missing nearly all of last season with a sports hernia and broken foot.
“These kids need time to develop, so patience is needed there,” said Seid. “But some of these arms have front-line potential. There’s no way to predict what their roles will be in three to five years. Time and development will reveal that, but I don’t remember us having this many power arms at one time.” So, there was a method to the madness as Melvin used top prospects to acquire accomplished major-league pitchers and get folks excited about the Brewers again. But that doesn’t mean the farm system was gutted, as some have suggested. “There has been a lot of overreaction to our trading of top-tier guys,” said Ash. “It was done with a purpose. We would rather win the pennant and go deep in the playoffs than be recognized as organization of the year for our prospects. “Yes, there is some danger to it, but we’re prepared for that. You have to have a foot firmly planted in the future while also playing for the ‘now.’ We feel that we are doing both.”
The way Gindl views the group of upcoming center fielders, the more the merrier.
Gindl, Schafer, Komatsu and Davis all bat from the left side, as do Hunter Morris, and Cody Hawn, two slugging first basemen taken out of college in last year’s draft. Of that group, Seid says more than one will make his mark at the top level. “Some of these players will blossom into productive major-leaguers,” predicted Seid. “(Brewers right fielder) Corey Hart was an 11throunder (in 2000) and developed into a two-time all-star. I feel good about the ‘now’ Brewers as well as the future. And the fans should be excited, too.” While a shortage of quality starting pitchers at the big-league level prompted the deals for Marcum and Greinke, Seid pointed to a group of hard-throwing young pitchers who should make an impact in Nashville in both 2011 and years to come.

2011 Nashville Sounds Team Don MONey - Manager
Don Money returns to Music City for his third year of service as the Nashville Sounds manager in 2011. In two seasons at the helm, he is 152-136 and ranks 6th in Sounds history in managerial victories. He guided the club to a 75-69 record in 2009 followed by a 77-67 mark last season. Money – who is the 22nd different manager in the Sounds’ 33-year franchise history – served as Milwaukee’s Double-A skipper for the Huntsville Stars for each of the previous four seasons, finishing with a 275-279 record. Huntsville qualified for the postseason in three of Money’s four years with the club. On May 14, 2008, he became the winningest manager in Stars history when his team beat the Tennessee Smokies, 3-2, his 231st victory with the franchise.
In 2007, he was named Southern League Manager of the Year after guiding the Stars to a division title in both halves of the season, the first time that had occurred DON MONEY - MANAGER in franchise history.

SAME COKE TASTE
nashville Sounds OWNERSHIP FRANK WARD
MFP Executive Director Frank Ward has three loves: his family, real estate and baseball. All three have led him and MFP to Nashville. With more than 35 years of involvement in real estate, Ward’s wide range of business experience includes restructuring corporate organizations, developing high-rise office buildings in New York City, and serving as chief operating officer of a very large commercial real estate company. After serving in the U.S. Army in Korea shortly after graduating from high school, Ward earned an accounting degree from Capitol University in Columbus, Ohio. Ward was hired out of college by Kenneth Leventhal & Company (now Ernst & Young) in Columbus, Ohio, in 1971 as an auditor, and he eventually moved into corporate restructuring. Ward moved to Kenneth Leventhal & Company’s New York City office in 1973, where he would first cross paths with future MFP business partner Steve Posner. In 1982, Ward was hired as managing director and chief financial officer of HRO International, a client of his at Kenneth Leventhal & Company that was the most active high-rise office building developer in Manhattan. Ward remained at HRO International until 1995. That year, he accepted an offer to serve as chief operating officer of Hiro Real Estate Co. that came as a result of a nine-month overlap with Steve Posner at Kenneth Leventhal & Company more than a decade before. One of his first responsibilities at Hiro Real Estate was to draft a business plan to turn the company around. He did, and over the next 13 years, Honzawa, Posner and Ward steadily decreased debt and increased profits. Ward worked at Hiro Real Estate Co. as chief operating officer from 1995 to 2008 before leaving with Masahiro Honzawa to start MFP Real Estate with Steve Posner. Ward is a longtime baseball card collector. Acquiring the Nashville Sounds promises to be a logical progression of his career and love of the game. Between collecting cards and his more than 25 years of experience playing fantasy baseball, Ward’s hobbies may be as valuable to MFP as his real estate experience. Ward is married and has four children, two sons and two daughters. He and his wife, Renee, live in New York. Sons Christopher and Timothy run a real estate business in New Jersey. Ward’s oldest daughter, Danielle, is a 2010 graduate of Vanderbilt University, and his youngest daughter, Katie, is a sophomore at Furman University. Ward fell in love with Nashville during trips to visit his daughter at Vanderbilt. He is excited that Nashville is a growth market for real estate and has promise as a great baseball town.
STEVE POSNER
With his latest business venture, MFP Executive Director Steve Posner, a certified public accountant and attorney, brings his career full circle. At an early age, Posner knew there was more to sports than entertainment. He remembers getting his first lessons in geography and politics watching his favorite baseball team, the Buffalo Bisons, make their way to Canada and Cuba to compete in the International League. When he later moved to New York City with his family, he found that sports could also help pay for his college education. From the ages of 14 to 21, Posner worked as a vendor at Yankee and Shea stadiums and at Madison Square Garden. He earned enough money to finance an accounting degree from Bernard M. Baruch College in New York City, his springboard to law school at the University of Miami. After law school, Posner began his career at Arthur Andersen in New York City as a staff accountant. Aside from a ninemonth stint at Kenneth Leventhal & Company, where he met future MFP business partner Frank Ward, Posner spent the next 26 years at Arthur Andersen, where he became a partner. Posner managed to keep his passion for sports closely knit with his professional goals. At Arthur Andersen, he specialized in taxation specific to the real estate and sports industries, working for clients including the New York Mets, the Brooklyn Cyclones minor league baseball franchise, SportsNet New York (a regional sports network), and Hiro Real Estate Co. In the early 1990s, Posner’s work with Hiro Real Estate Co. brought him an intern, Masahiro Honzawa, the son of Hiro Real Estate Co. owner. Posner and his wife, Jean-Marie, live in the North Shore of Long Island, a suburb of New York City, with their daughter, Haley.
MASAHIRO HONZAWA
MFP President Masahiro Honzawa ran the U.S. operations of his family’s Hiro Real Estate Co. from 1995 to 2008. Honzawa was also active in the company’s Japanese operations. The Honzawa family has owned and operated a privately owned, 7 million-square-foot warehouse business in Japan and extensive real estate in New York City, Chicago and Los Angeles. Honzawa graduated from Keio University in Tokyo in 1991 and continued his education in the U.S., where he earned an MBA from Columbia University in 1998. Before he took the helm of Hiro Real Estate’s U.S. operations in 1995, he interned with Arthur Andersen LLP in New York, where he met his future MFP business partner Steve Posner, who was the partner on the Hiro Real Estate account for Arthur Andersen at the time. In January 2008, Honzawa sold his interest in Hiro Real Estate and started MFP Real Estate. Masahiro Honzawa is recently married. He and his wife, Makiko, reside in London and spend time in the United States traveling for business and pleasure. 64

Born: Aug. 25, 1988. B-T: R-R. HT.: 6-3. WT.: 242. DrafTeD: HS—Guilford, Ill., 2007 (11th round). SigneD By: Harvey Kuenn Jr. BackgrounD: Scarpetta, whose father Dan was a 1982 third-round pick by the Brewers, dropped in the 2007 draft because of a torn flexor tendon in his right index finger. He had surgery before the draft and signed for $325,000 as an 11th-rounder, but that deal was voided when he needed a second operation. He re-signed for $125,000, but to keep his rights Milwaukee had to place him on its 40-man roster. ScouTing reporT: Scarpetta’s fastball ranges from 90-94 mph, at times with boring action, and he backs it up with the best curveball in the system. His improved changeup gives him a dependable third pitch. He has enough stuff to start, but his command is a work in progress. Scarpetta had a tendency to freeze his front hip and land too hard in his delivery, affecting his ability to locate his pitches. Brevard County pitching coach Fred Dabney worked with him last season to smooth out his lower half, and his mechanical improvements helped his command. THe fuTure: Because Scarpetta went on the 40-man roster so early, the Brewers will use their final minor-league option on him in 2011. They’ll try to advance him as far as possible, probably starting him in Double-A Huntsville and trying to get him to Triple-A by the end of the season. He’s a potential No. 3 starter but not there yet. 2010 club (class) W L era g gS cg SV ip H Hr BB So aVg Brevard County (Hi A) 7 12 3.87 27 27 1 0 128 120 4 67 142 .247
Born: May 8, 1989. B-T: R-R. HT.: 6-2. WT.: 225. SigneD: Dominican Republic, 2005. SigneD By: Fausto Sosa Pena/Fernando Arango. BackgrounD: Peralta has made steady progress since missing the entire 2007 season following Tommy John surgery. After never pitching more than 104 innings in a season and totaling just 176 in his first four years as a pro, he worked a career-high 147 frames in 2010 and held his own after reaching DoubleA. Milwaukee added him to its 40-man roster in November. ScouTing reporT: Peralta already has three dependable pitches in place, starting with a 92-94 mph fastball that touches 96. He throws his fastball with little effort, though the pitch lacks life and doesn’t induce a lot of swings and misses. Both of his secondary pitches—a low-80s slider with good tilt and a changeup—are average to slightly above average. He simply needs to hone his pitches and command them on a more consistent basis. Peralta has a simple, repeatable delivery and a strong body, ingredients for becoming a workhorse starter. He’s a focused worker with a confident demeanor. THe fuTure: With his maturity and work ethic, the Brewers think Peralta’s isn’t far from pitching in the majors. He’ll return to Double-A to begin 2011, with a good chance for a midseason promotion. He could join Milwaukee’s rotation by the end of 2012. 2010 club (class) W L era g gS cg SV ip H Hr BB So aVg Brevard County (Hi A) 6 3 3.86 19 17 0 0 105 102 5 40 75 .253 Huntsville (AA) 2 3 3.61 8 8 0 0 42 43 5 24 29 .269

Born: June 5, 1989. B-T: R-R. HT.: 6-6. WT.: 245. DrafTeD: Alabama, 2010 (2nd round). SigneD By: Joe Mason. BackgrounD: The Brewers have focused on drafting big-bodied, hard-throwing pitchers in recent years, and Nelson fit the bill. A second-round pick, he became their top signee from the 2010 draft when first-rounder Dylan Covey was diagnosed with diabetes and opted to attend college. After landing him for $570,600, Milwaukee used Nelson strictly as a reliever because he had pitched 110 innings at Alabama in the spring, his first extended stint as a starter. ScouTing reporT: Nelson can hit 96 mph with his fastball, but he has learned that he’s more effective when he throws a two-seamer in the low 90s with heavy sink. He complements his fastball with a hard 84-86 mph slider that will give him a second plus pitch if he gains more consistency. He occasionally mixes in a slow curveball to keep hitters guessing. His changeup is below average and needs work. Nelson loses his release point at times and becomes inconsistent with his control. He sometimes lands hard on a stiff front leg and must clean up his mechanics. If he does, he has the body to be a workhorse. THe fuTure: While some teams projected Nelson as a closer, the Brewers believe he can be an innings-eating, middle-of-the-rotation starter. They’ll turn him loose in low Class A this year. 2010 club (class) W L era g gS cg SV ip H Hr BB So aVg Helena (R) 2 0 3.71 12 0 0 3 27 30 2 13 33 .268

Born: June 29, 1988. B-T: L-R. HT.: 5-9. WT.: 195. DrafTeD: Tennessee, 2009 (1st round supplemental). SigneD By: Joe Mason. BackgrounD: He entered 2009 as one of the best college hitters available in the draft, but a rough season and his extra leverage as a sophomore-eligible allowed Davis to last until the 39th overall pick. Signed for $1.2 million, he went to high Class A last April for his pro debut. He had hamstring problems and didn’t hit, prompting a demotion to low Class A Wisconsin, where he flourished. ScouTing reporT: Davis has a short swing with plenty of bat speed and solid plate discipline. He should hit for average, but scouts aren’t sold that he has the power desired on an outfield corner. He got too pull-conscious when he struggled last year, and did a better job of using the whole field in low Class A. He has plus speed, though his hamstring issues forced him to shut down his running game for most of 2010. Despite his quickness, Davis lacks the instincts to play center field. He played in center at Brevard County and in right at Wisconsin, but he has a fringy arm and probably will wind up in left. He plays with confidence. THe fuTure: Davis will get another chance to conquer high Class A in 2011 and could reach Double-A by the end of the season. His bat is calling card, but he has to work on his outfield play and keep his legs healthy. 2010 club (class) aVg oBp SLg aB r H 2B 3B Hr rBi BB So SB Brevard County (Hi A) .244 .380 .341 123 20 30 2 5 0 17 17 28 8 Wisconsin (Lo A) .335 .421 .518 245 44 82 26 5 3 46 31 36 3
Born: Sept. 29, 1988. B-T: R-R. HT.: 5-11. WT.: 185. DrafTeD: Charleston Southern, 2010 (3rd round). SigneD By: Ryan Robinson. BackgrounD: Thornburg has drawn comparisons to Tim Lincecum for his height and his delivery. He impressed scouts as a closer in the Cape Cod League in the summer of 2009, then continued to throw well last spring —including a win against eventual College World Series participant Florida—while pulling double duty as a starter and outfielder at Charleston Southern. After signing for $351,900 as a third-round pick, he was hampered by an oblique strain in his pro debut but
still had 38 strikeouts in 23 innings. ScouTing reporT: Thornburg’s fastball sits at 93-95 mph and tops out at 98, though it doesn’t feature much of life. Some scouts think his power curveball is his best pitch. He flashed an improved changeup in pro ball, so he may have the requisite three pitches to remain a starter. He’ll need to improve his command, however. His aggressive nature on the mound would serve him well if the Brewers decide to make him a reliever. THe fuTure: As a potential closer, Thornburg might offer more upside coming out of the bullpen. Milwaukee will continue to develop him as a starter for now, giving him time to work on his changeup and command. He’ll probably begin his first full pro season in low Class A, but he could make a push for Brevard County with a strong spring. 2010 club (class) W L era g gS cg SV ip H Hr BB So aVg Helena (R) 1 0 1.93 9 6 0 1 23 15 2 11 38 .179

Born: June 17, 1988. B-T: R-R. HT.: 6-6. WT.: 235. DrafTeD: Kennesaw State, 2009 (1st round supplemental). SigneD By: Ryan Robinson. BackgrounD: The Brewers drafted Heckathorn 47th overall in 2009, which would have made him the highest pick in Kennesaw State history if the Blue Jays hadn’t taken teammate Chad Jenkins 27 choices earlier. Heckathorn reached high Class A in his first full pro season, leading Milwaukee farmhands with a 2.98 eRA. ScouTing reporT: Heckathorn uses his tall frame to throw downhill and does a good job of keeping the ball in the park with his best pitch, a sinker. He mostly throws his two-seam fastball in the low 90s, topping out at 94, and he reached the upper 90s with a four-seamer in college. His best secondary offering is a changeup that’s solid at times, and he does a better job of commanding it than he does with his fastball. His mid-80s slider lacks consistency. Heckathorn has effort in his high three-quarters delivery, and he lacks the athleticism to repeat it. He still throws strikes but his lack of command makes him more hittable than he should be. The Brewers had him work on smoothing out his lower half in 2010. THe fuTure: unless Heckathorn improves his secondary pitches and command, he’ll probably wind up in the bullpen. The Brewers will keep him in a starting role for now, and he’ll probably return to high Class A to begin 2011. 2010 club (class) W L era g gS cg SV ip H Hr BB So aVg Wisconsin (Lo A) 6 6 2.96 17 13 1 0 85 82 2 23 67 .246 Brevard County (Hi A) 4 0 3.00 8 8 1 0 39 40 1 10 23 .265

Born: May 1, 1990. B-T: L-R. HT.: 5-9. WT.: 165. DrafTeD: HS—Sarasota, Fla., 2009 (16th round). SigneD By: Tim McIlvaine. BackgrounD: Gennett had a polished bat for a prep middle infielder, but his commitment to Florida State caused him to slip to the 16th round of the 2009 draft. After he signed for $260,000, the Brewers planned to send him to Rookie ball last summer. But he performed so well in minor league camp last spring that he earned an assignment to the low Class A Midwest League, where he finished seventh in hitting (.309) and earned postseason all-star honors. ScouTing reporT: He may look like a bat boy, but Gennett is an advanced hitter with surprising pop, as evidenced by his 52 extra-base hits in his pro debut. He has an open stance and the ball jumps off his bat. Sometimes he gets too long with his swing, leading to strike outs, and he could use some more plate discipline. He has average speed that plays up on the bases because he has good instincts. A shortstop in high school, Gennett moved to second base as a pro and has average defensive tools. He led MWL second basemen with 21 errors in 107 games, but he should get smoother with more experience. THe fuTure: The best-case scenario for Gennett is that he keeps hitting and proves he can stay at second base. At worst, he profiles as a gritty, offensive-minded utility man. He’ll advance to high Class A Brevard County in 2011. 2010 club (class) aVg oBp SLg aB r H 2B 3B Hr rBi BB So SB Wisconsin (Lo A) .309 .354 .463 482 87 149 39 4 9 55 31 91 14

Born: March 3, 1986. B-T: R-R. HT.: 5-10. WT.: 170. DrafTeD: Loyola Marymount, 2007 (4th round). SigneD By: Corey Rodriguez. BackgrounD: After Farris hit .298 and stole 70 bases at Brevard County in 2009, the Brewers jumped him all the way to Nashville last year, in part to allow since-traded Brett Lawrie to play in Double-A. Farris hit .288 in April before hurting his right knee in a collision at the plate. He missed two months and his speed and quickness were diminished when he returned, though he did look better in the Arizona Fall League, where he batted .351. ScouTing reporT: Farris put his ball in play with a consistent, easy stroke and then makes things happen on the bases. He’s not a blazer, but he has plus speed and excellent instincts on the bases. He doesn’t contribute much offensively besides singles and steals, because he doesn’t walk a lot and has little power. His skill at bunting enhances his ability to get on base. Farris is a major league-ready defender who committed just four errors in 66 games last year. He has solid range, soft hands and a fringy arm. Milwaukee loves his competitiveness. THe fuTure: Some scouts believe Farris projects as a utility player, but the Brewers believe in his instincts and drive and placed him on the 40-man roster in November. The trade of Lawrie to the Blue Jays removed one obstacle, but Rickie Weeks still blocks him in Milwaukee. 2010 club (class) aVg oBp SLg aB r H 2B 3B Hr rBi BB So SB Nashville (AAA) .274 .311 .348 230 28 63 9 1 2 15 9 25 14 AZL Brewers (R) .250 .257 .500 32 5 8 5 0 1 9 1 3 1

Born: Dec. 20, 1985. B-T: R-R. HT.: 62. WT.: 204. SigneD: Dominican Republic, 2005. SigneD By: Fernando Arango/Fausto Sosa Pena. BackgrounD: Rivas shows no aftereffects from having Tommy John surgery in December 2006, and he showed his doggedness by returning to the mound eight months after having his elbow reconstructed. He was Milwaukee’s minor league pitcher of the year in 2009 and followed up by successfully making the jump to Double-A last season, when he led the system in wins (11) and ranked second in eRA (3.37). ScouTing reporT: Rivas’ individual pitches don’t blow hitters or scouts away, but he knows how to pitch and how to set up hitters. He understands the importance of location and works both sides of the plate. Rivas throws his fastball in the low 90s with some boring life and sink. His fastball can reach 95 but straightens out at higher velocities. He developed a feel for a changeup at a young age, and it grades out as his best pitch. His slider is average at best, though he throws it with power in the mid-80s at times. The Brewers like his knack for making pitches and the way he aggressively goes after hitters. THe fuTure: Milwaukee projects Rivas as a middle-of-the-rotation starter, though he’ll need to continue to refine his secondary pitches and command to fill that role. He’ll begin 2011 in the Nashville rotation and could make his big league debut in the second half. 2010 club (class) W L era g gS cg SV ip H Hr BB So aVg Huntsville (AA) 11 6 3.37 25 25 2 0 142 130 7 55 114 .253

vs. Sounds: 8-8 July 14 - 17
The Dodgers return for the third year in Albuquerque as the Isotopes’ Major League affiliate in 2011 and will be led by new skipper Lorenzo Bundy, who previously managed in the PCL with Las Vegas. Previous manager Tim Wallach was promoted to a spot on the Los Angeles Dodgers’ coaching staff. Isotopes Park is considered one of the finest facilities in minor league baseball and will host the Triple-A Championship Game this September for the first time. The Isotopes look to continue their recent run of success in 2011. After finishing with the PCL’s 2nd-best record in 2009, they finished one game out of first place in their division last season with a 72-71 record.

The Fresno Grizzlies has served as the San Francisco Giants’ Triple-A affiliate since 1998. More than half of the players who comprised the World Series champion Giants squad last October have buttoned up a Grizzlies uniform in the not-so-distant past.
The division-rival Iowa Cubs welcome new manager Bill Dancy this season. The long-time minor league veteran ranks fourth among active minor league managers in wins with 1,604 total victories.
Grizzlies skipper Steve Decker has won at every level that he has coached, finishing first or second in his divisions in six of his seven years at the helm, including a pair of championships (Northwest League, 2006-07) and a 478-323 (.597) career winning percentage.
He spent last year with the Cubs’ Double-A Tennessee affiliate, where he was named Southern League Manager of the Year after leading the Smokies to division titles in both the first and second half of the campaign.
Last season, Fresno finished with a 75-69 record and second-place finish in its division. It marked just the second time in 11 seasons that the Grizzlies finished above .500.
Last season, under the guidance of Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg, the I-Cubs tied for the top spot in the PCL American Northern Division but lost a tiebreaker to Memphis and missed out on the postseason. Sandberg departed the organization after the season to become Triple-A manager for the Philadelphia Phillies. * Traded to Rays for Matt Garza on 12/10/10

The Las Vegas 51s enter the 2011 season with a familiar face to Sounds fans at the helm: manager Marty Brown. Brown played for the Sounds in 1988-89 and then managed the club from 2001-2002, the only person in team history to accomplish that feat. He returns to the U.S. after spending the past five years managing in Japan (Hiroshima, 2006-09; Tohoku Rakuten, 2010). The 51s enter their third season as the top affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays. Catcher J.P. Arencibia won PCL MVP honors for the club last season.

The cross-state rival Memphis Redbirds are two-time defending champions in the PCL American Conference Northern Division, including a PCL championship club in 2010. Manager Chris Maloney returns for his fifth season at the helm. Last season, Memphis finished tied with Iowa atop the division standings but advanced to the postseason on a tiebreaker. The Redbirds swept Oklahoma City, 3-0 in the conference finals before being swept themselves, 3-0 by Tacoma, in the PCL Championship Series. Prior to the Redbirds, Memphis housed the Double-A Chicks for 20 years and the Sounds battled their cross-state rivals for the Southern League crown for several years in the 1970s and ‘80s before Nashville moved to Triple-A.

The Florida Marlins return as Major League affiliate in New Orleans for the third straight year in 2011, marking the first time the Zephyrs’ have had a three-year affiliation with a Major League club since the Houston Astros concluded an eight-year stay in the Crescent City in 2004 . Manager Greg Norton, who took over midway through 2010 after previous Z’s skipper Edwin Rodriguez was elevated to manager of the Florida Marlins, returns for his first full season as a skipper at any level. The Sounds and Zephyrs played a 24-inning game at Greer Stadium on May 5-6, 2006, matching the longest contest in Pacific Coast League history.

The 2011 season marks several changes for the Oklahoma City franchise, including a completely-overhauled front office staff resulting from the club being purchased by Mandalay Baseball Properties last fall. The Houston Astros begin their first year as the club’s Major League affiliate after the RedHawks and Texas Rangers parted ways following an 18-year partnership that dated back to 1983. Former Sounds catcher Tony DeFrancesco takes over as the club’s new manager, replacing the club’s all-time winningest skipper, Bobby Jones, who moved on with the Rangers to Round Rock. DeFrancesco comes to Oklahoma City directly on the heels of an impressive run as manager for Sacramento, where he won three league titles and five division crowns in his seven-year stint at the helm. Among the nicest stadiums in Minor League Baseball, the club calls RedHawks Field (previously known as AT&T Bricktown Ballpark) home.

It’s a season of new beginnings for the Omaha franchise in 2011. The team has a new nickname (Storm Chasers) and a new ballpark (Werner Park) for the upcoming season. The franchise was previously known as the Royals and had called Rosenblatt Stadium home since 1969. The Royals’ farm system is recognized by several national publications as the best in baseball entering the 2011 season. The Sounds and Royals have played a tight all-time series. Entering 2011, the teams have amazingly split their 384 meetings over the past 25 seasons, and have even split the last three years’ season series. One constant for Omaha is the presence of manager Mike Jisrchele in the dugout. He returns for his 12th year as skipper this year and carries a 846-891 record over 11 years as the club’s manager (1995-97, 2003-present).

A group headed by Hall of Fame pitcher and Texas native Nolan Ryan owns the Round Rock Express. Round Rock enters its first year as the new Triple-A affiliate of the Texas Rangers in 2011, following an 11-year affiliation with the Houston Astros. Along with a new affiliate comes a new manager: Bobby Jones. The longtime baseball vet joins the Express after a distinguished career in Oklahoma City, where his 710 managerial wins are the most in the city’s Triple-A history. The Round Rock franchise began as a Double-A club before moving up to the Triple-A level in 2005 when the Edmonton Trappers franchise relocated there. Round Rock plays at The Dell Diamond and has finished second in attendance right behind Sacramento for the past four seasons.

Perennially among the best clubs in Triple-A baseball, the Sacramento River Cats are no stranger to the PCL postseason. Since inception in 2000, the Cats have won nine division titles in 11 years and captured four league championships over that stretch.
Affiliated baseball returns to Tucson in 2011 with the addition of the Tucson Padres to the Pacific Coast League. The franchise moved from Portland, Oregon, after Portland officials chose to convert their multi-use facility to a soccer-only venue, leaving the Beavers as a homeless franchise.
New manager Darren Bush takes over the reins in 2011, replacing longtime River Cats skipper Tony DeFrancesco. Bush was promoted to Sacramento following two seasons at the helm in Midland that resulted in Texas League championship appearances. He won the 2008 California League title with Stockton and the 2009 Texas League title with Midland.
San Diego Padres owner Jeffrey Moorad purchased the club and is in the process of negotiating a new Triple-A ballpark to be built in Escondido, California, a San Diego suburb. The franchise will play in Tucson for the next two seasons in the meantime.
River Cats hitting coach Todd Steverson previously served as Sacramento’s manager in 2008, when he guided the club to a PCL championship. Sacramento’s Raley Field has been a popular destination for fans, as the River Cats have been among the top draws in all of minor league baseball for their entire existence, including leading all PCL clubs in attendance for that last four years.

Tucson’s last affiliated club was the Tucson Sidewinders, a Diamondbacks affiliate which played at Kino Park from 1998-2008. Baseball in Tucson dates back to the 1950s, when the Giants’ Triple-A affiliate played at old Hi Corbett Field. The Padres will be managed by former Major League Terry Kennedy, who piloted San Diego’s Triple-A club in Portland last year. Kennedy, who was the PCL Manager of the Year with Iowa in 1998, has managed 10 minor league seasons with the Padres (2010), Dodgers (2004), Cubs (1997-99), Expos (1994), and Cardinals (1993).
