Mat Gamel is one of several players Milwaukee recalled when rosters expanded Monday. He is a top hitting prospect, but the Brewers are likely to continue using their primary starters while they chase a postseason berth.

Arizona Fall League rosters released Brewers players on the list: Omar Aguilar Mat Gamel Jeremy Jeffress Alex Periard Angel Salome David Welch Brae Wright You'll notice the absence of Michael Brantley, which is strange considering his agent said he was going to be on the team . I don't know if that's related to the epic ongoing Sabathia PTBNL saga or what.

Just when I was starting to like Tom Haudricourt : Salome and Escobar have overtaken Mat Gamel as the top hitter at Huntsville. Gamel had a blistering first half but has slipped in recent weeks to .333 overall. Ugh. If by "best hitter" you mean the highest batting average, then yeah, I guess. But if by best hitter you mean best hitter...then, no. Matt Gamel: .333/.400/.545 17 HR Angel Salome: .345/.398/.534...

The All-Star Futures Game is on ESPN2 at 11:30 AM CT (no, not a misprint), with the pregame show airing an hour beforehand. "Third baseman" Mat Gamel , unequivocally the crown jewel of the system, is the only Milwaukee farmhand playing, thought erstwhile Brewers Matt LaPorta and Will Inman are also both on the US team, as is unsigned 2005 draft pick Jake Arrieta .

Brad Evans of Yahoo! fantasy sports recently gabbed about Mat Gamel in his latest edition of the weekly column Bringin' the Noise . Here is the excerpt from that column: "That designation belongs to a hidden gem, Milwaukee's Mat Gamel. Now that Matt LaPorta is on the fast-track to an everyday gig in Cleveland and CC Sabathia is crushing chorizos with the Brewers, Gamel could wind up with the senior...

As, the Brewers remain the "front-runner" to nab C.C. Sabathia, fans are speculating just who the Indians would want in such a deal. As we discussed earlier , the Indians are probably going to be looking to acquire either Matt LaPorta or Mat Gamel, players no fans are too willing to give up. The latest reports have Indians scouts looking at players from that Huntsville squad, but also Single-A prospect...
