So, of course, on April 1st our Head Scout (Nick Meskill) delivers some development updates and while there is some good news there (Ruben Souffront, for instance, sees his potential contact rating rise to 8, his current HR power rating rise to 5 and his potential in this area rise to 6) there is on the whole more bad news than good.
And then the Brewers drop a stinker to the Detroit Falcons, losing 7-3 (and that sounds closer than it really was.)
But perhaps worst of all (short term, at least) is that on a great, diving catch veteran RF'er Justin Schumann, who had earned a spot on the 25-man opening day roster, suffered a concussion and went on the 10-day DL, not expected to be fully recovered for about 2 weeks. (Which, I suppose, could be good news for whomever gets to take his place, however temporarily, on the 25-man roster.) Schumann, of course, is considered an iron man in terms of injury proneness. But there is no such thing as invincibility in baseball. (Or life.)
