Interestingly enough, he was the trigger for my looking into older prospect lists (Not knowing he had been released)
I wouldn’t be shocked if he doesn’t pitch until next season
He could become the next Brooks Kieschnick!
I totally missed that he ended his career as a pitcher. I remember him, of course, in part, because of his brother, but I also knew who he was before Roger was drafted.
What I never understood is why the Brewers abruptly let him go in season. He was hardly a disaster that year. His offense wasn't great but never was it awful and he looked decent out of the bullpen.
Per BBRef, he wasn’t let go in-season. He was released in March the next year.
I swear I thought this was going to be some obscure brooklyn dodger from the 1910's era... lol.
My memory was slightly off but it was still puzzling that they let him go. He was hardly a failure in their two way experiment.
Its a little disappointing that Matos or McCray didn't make the top 100
I understand Matos, he is having a down year. With McCray, there is probably a lot of excitement generating on the prospect radars but it may be too early for him to land on the Top 100. I would guess that, should he continue his hitting into next year at Eugene, his status will change.
Seems weird that Harrison would slip. Of course, I don't know how the other 21 above him (other than Luciano) have performed.
