MLB.com reports that Dylan Covey donned the Milwaukee Brewers' uniform for the first time on Monday. The right-hander, along with his parents and his two older brothers, made a 45-minute drive south from Pasadena, Calif., to visit with Milwaukee players before their Interleague series against the Angels. MLB.com goes on to report that the first player to greet Covey was none other than future Hall of Fame pitcher Trevor Hoffman. I interviewed Trevor's brother, Glenn, a while back in San Diego and he's a real class act. We must have sat in the clubhouse for an hour having lunch, and this was after I was done interviewing him and Bud Black. I'm sure Trevor comes from the same fabric. What a thrill to get your first "welcome aboard" handshake come from a legend. If you missed it, there's also video of Covey's selection on Draft Day and analysis from MLB Network studio analysts, which includes another legend, Peter Gammons. By the way, BrewCrewBall.com has a great Q&A with Dylan. Pretty good stuff, and a really funny picture of a hybrid Dylan/Hulk photo in the comments section.

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass' favor.
Quite beneficial information shared..Iam quite content to by means of this write-up..many thanks for giving us great facts.Wonderful walk-through. I get pleasure from this posting.
From prospects central recap at:

Dylan Covey went to the Brewers with the 14th overall pick. Nice value for Milwaukee who gets one of the best prep school arms in the class. His fastball velocity is questionable but scouts feel more can be coaxed out of his mechanics. He has an excellent curve and a developing change. The right-hander doesn’t look like a high-impact starter but if his velocity catches up to his size he may spend some years in the Brewers rotation.
