A seventh-round pick from Fort Pierce (Fla.) Central High in 2005, he batted .319/.395/.398 in 420 at-bats for Huntsville, but his contact-oriented approach limited him to just four homers and 17 doubles in 106 games. Brantley is an average-at-best center fielder who also has dabbled in left field and first base. He's the son of Mickey Brantley, who played for the Mariners from 1986 to 1989.

How long will he continue to ride his dad's coattails? Average-at-best doesn't sound like SUPERSTAR to me. As a Brewers Fan, I'll be cheering for the guys in the system before I cheer for the "player to be named later."
