The Milwaukee Brewers Double-A Affiliate, the Biloxi Shuckers, will resume Minor Lague Baseball play on Wednesday, June 28, when they take on the Mississippi Braves. Mississippi is the Double-A Affiliate of the Atlanta Braves.
During the first half of the season, Milwaukee’s farm team had a record 34-35, and they are looking to be better in the second half. Biloxi finished 7.5 games back of first-place Pensacola Blue Wahoos, which is the Double-A Affiliate of the Miami Marlins.
The Brewers have a few top prospects in Double-A with the Biloxi Shuckers. Who are some of the top players on that team that you should look out for when going to a game during the second half of the season?
