Appleton — Lucas Erceg is a man with a plan living his dream.
Drafted in the second round by the Milwaukee Brewers in June, the 21-year-old quickly has made his presence felt in the team's minor-league system. Erceg, taken 46th overall, signed for a reported $1.15 million on June 16 and in just over six weeks has already jumped from rookie Helena to low Class A Wisconsin.
"Being able to go out and play baseball every day has been a dream of mine since I've been little," Erceg said before a two-hit game against Lake County this week.
