Where is Matt LaPorta playing?
-Bill
Matt LaPorta is playing rookie ball with Helena Brewers in the Pioneer League.
He has played in 3 games as of this posting; he is hitting .364 with 2 HR’s. He started late because of a slight quad muscle pull. He will probably go to West Virginia in the South Atlantic League after he has had a few more games under his belt.
Is Prince overswinging since the All-Star break?
-Jeff
I asked Prince if he felt he was overswinging and his answer was he did not think so. I asked hitting coach Jim Skaalen about Prince’s swing and he said that Prince was not overswinging, but felt he was trying to do too much and did not have good pitch selection.
The way Jeff Suppan has been struggling, do you think Ned will move him to the bullpen?
-MC
Yes, Jeff has been struggling but the Brewers will not move him to the bullpen. He will work out his problems and we will see the Jeff Suppan that started the season for the Brewers.
He has been working hard to correct his mechanics and it showed in his last start against the Mets on Tuesday. He pitched 6.1 innings, 6 hits, 2 runs both earned and 2 walks with no strikeouts.
Has Bill Hall’s ankle fully healed?
-Randy
I asked Bill if his ankle is fully healed; he said it is sore at times but no pain at all.
When he first came off the disabled list he was a little tenative. He is now showing no signs of the ankle sprain.
Ask Dave 
Is there any chance the Brewers have of keeping the core players of Fielder, Braun, Hart, Weeks, Hardy, and Gallardo? I am an optimist but my Dad likes to joke around about Prince signing with the Yankees, Ryan with the Bosox, Hart with the D-Backs, etc. Please Mr. Atanasio shell out the bucks for these guys.
