Right handed pitching prospect Mark Rogers, the Brewers first round pick in 2004, may miss the entire 2007 season after having shoulder surgery earlier this month. Rogers spent most of his time last year at High A and had mixed results. He struck out a ton of guys (96 in 71 innings) but he also walked a ton as well (53). In John Sickels’ Baseball Prospect Book, he says some very nice things about Rogers but also says he could flame out just as easily as he could be a stud.
Here’s a little more on Rogers. He was the fifth best Brewers prospect on Kevin Goldstein’s top ten list.
