Brewers prospect Scooter Gennett has a quick answer for those who say he's too small to star in the Major Leagues.

"If you're in infielder," he said with a smile, "the shorter you are, the closer you are to the ground to field the ball, right?"

The 21-year-old answered with his bat earlier this week, when a surprise Sunday start in Surprise, Ariz., turned into one of the best days of Gennett's career. He hit for the cycle against the Royals, capping the feat with an eighth-inning, two-run home run into the visitors' bullpen, where Brewers relievers gobbled up the baseball for Gennett's memorabilia collection.
