Burnes rising fast, eyes MLB breakthrough

MILWAUKEE -- Most Minor League players will say it's best to keep one's head down and focus on the job at hand during the baseball season, rather than worry about personnel moves at higher levels. "Control what you can control," they all say.

Then comes the offseason, and a guy can dream a little. Just ask fast-rising Brewers pitching prospect Corbin Burnes.

"During the season, you try to stay away from it. You focus on what you can do every day, whether it's in the weight room or on the field, to try to get better," Burnes said this month while taking part in Major League Baseball's Rookie Career Development Program.
