J.J. Hardy

[Relentless]

Anyone know on how high of a prospect Hardy was coming out of the Brewers farm system? I know that he had that crazy streak to start the season last year, and this recent one. Is there a way he can stay consistent and become a star, or is he as streaky as they come?

In 2004, he was ranked 3rd behind Weeks and Fielder in the Brewers system.

I see, that's pretty high... So, the potential is definitely there.

That streak Hardy had in early 2007 was awesome -- 34 R 15 HR 46 RBI .304 thru the end of May. So we know he's got the potential ... IMHO he's definitely worth a ride. I picked him up to replace the ineffective Keppinger, with Izturis as backup.
