For those unacquainted, the Milwaukee Brewers acquired Malik Collymore in the Jonathan Broxton trade with the Cardinals last year. The highest level Collymore had played in at that point was the Rookie-level Appalachian League. So naturally, the Milwaukee Brewers sent Collymore to the Helena Brewers, their higher level rookie league team.
There, in a short, 138 PA sample (every sample is small in the abridged rookie leagues), Collymore slashed .311/.375/.434. I covered him then, as one of the many prospects the Milwuakee Brewers had acquired who had seen early success in their new organization.
Despite his solid showing in Helena, Collymore was absent from the Class A Wisconsin Timber Rattlers’ outfield-heavy roster at the start of 2016.
