Not much was expected of Poe when he was selected in the 21st round of the 1998 draft. He began to gain some notice at Beloit in 1999 when he posted a 6-1 strikeout-walk ratio, mostly in relief. Poe has a low-90s fastball and knows how to move the ball around. Given a chance to close games as well as make a handful of starts at Mudville last year, he continued to excel. His versatility eventually earned him a promotion to Double-A, where he handled himself very well. Now the Brewers must figure out where Poe can help them most, as a starter, middle reliever or set-up man.
