Via a press release from the Timber Rattlers:
Lorenzo Cain is the latest Milwaukee Brewers top
prospect to don a Timber Rattlers uniform. Cain, rated as the #6 prospect
in the Milwaukee organization by Baseball America, has just completed a
rehab assignment with the Brewers Arizona League affiliate and been placed on
the Wisconsin roster. He will be in uniform for the Rattlers game against
the Clinton LumberKings tonight.
Cain began the 2009 season with the Huntsville Stars of the Southern
League in late April, but was placed on the disabled list after
playing four games in late April. He began his rehab stint with
the Arizona League Brewers on June 29, played in three games, and hit .444
(4-for-9) with an RBI.
The 17th round pick in the 2004 Major League Baseball Draft
was the MVP of the Arizona League in 2005 after hitting .356 and leading
the loop in doubles with 18. The outfielder has also been a
South Atlantic League All-Star in 2006, and a Florida State League All-Star in
2007 in his climb up the ladder.
Be sure to pick up your tickets this evening if you can.
