[edit] Career

Housman broke into the minors in the 2002 season, playing with the Milwaukee Brewers' rookie farm team, the Ogden Raptors. He went 1-3 with a 8.16 ERA in 32 innings pitched. For the 2003 season, he started the year with the Class A Beloit Snappers, where he went 2-7 and had a 1.82 ERA. He was bumped up to the Double-A Huntsville Stars later in the year. Playing with Huntsville for the rest of the season and part of the 2004 season, he accumulated an 8-10 record with them in that time period. Again, he was bumped up near the end of the 204 season to Triple-A Indianapolis. He played the entire 2005 season with the Brewers' new Triple-A affiliation, the Nashville Sounds, but a 5-12 record and a 6.54 ERA demoted him back down to Huntsville for the 2006 and 2007 seasons. In 2007, he earned a spot on Milwaukee's forty-man roster. During spring training 2008, Housman was released by the Brewers.^[1]
