Minor League Spring Training Games - 2023

[damuelle]

It looks like @BrewersPD will share the daily MILB spring training line-ups again this year, though I suppose we may only see about two weeks worth of games, given that the AAA Nashville Sounds will start for real on March 31st. Other full season affiliates will commence on April 7th. Enjoy!

Our youngsters face off against the White Sox today:

I've not noted any particular surprise in today's lineups, so I'll just note the return-to-action of players who were injured the last we saw them:

• Patricio Aquino - RHP - 19 - last pitched July 29, 2022
• Juan Geraldo - RHP - 21 - last pitched August 21, 2021
• Oswal Leones - OF - 22 - last played August 20, 2022
• Darlin Lora - C - 19 - last played July 23, 2022
• Edrian Robinson - RHP - 21 - last pitched June 16, 2022
• Either Mario Perez (RHP - 20 - last pitched September 18, 2021) has returned from injury or that's actually Anthony Perez in action

Are the box scores to these minor league spring training games posted anywhere?

Nah, but they'll post some Twitter videos here and there. We pretty much scan the daily line-ups for oddities (e.g. Lucas Erceg pitching two years ago), omissions (possible injuries) and trends (apparent affiliate levels, positions).

Squaring off against the Reds today: 

[sveumrules]

Obviously early and nothing definitive yet but Chourio/Quero with Biloxi for game one is a encouraging sign the Brewers could be aggressive with their placements to start the year.

[damuelle]

I believe that this is the first sign we've gotten that OF Carlos D. Rodriguez (last played May 29, 2022) and C Felipe Valderrama (last played July 28, 2022) are healthy.

[damuelle]

Rare in-game MILB spring training notes. Future MLB All-Star Mendez dominating. Chirinos also homered: 

 

[damuelle]

Good to know that INF Jhonny Severino is also healthy, as his 2022 DSL season had ended a week early:

Yeah, these current placements have me all sorts of unnecessarily giddy. Let's hope it carries over.

I’m in Phoenix right now. Are the minor league games run right during the major league games? We’ve been to the past two games (@Pads and @amfam yesterday), but would like to check out some of the minor leads action of possible.

[damuelle]

Battling the Dodgers today. Here's the long-awaited return of RHP Brailin Rodriguez! (last pitched September 19, 2021), while Jared Albir (last pitched August 11, 2022) is also back. Finally, say hello to 18-year old LHP Osbriel Mogollon:

I'm not on ground, so can only say that yesterday's games started at 1:00pm and they've been splitting the 4-affiliate set each day (2 games at home; 2 games at opponents' complex).

Thanks. I did see the brewers PD tweet today. AAA and AA at AmFam. Lower levels at the Dodgers.

Good to see Rodriguez back. And if I am tracking them correctly, that makes 5 DSL names from last season: the three big signings, Baez and Mogollon.

[damuelle]

Eric Brown Jr., Eduarqui Fernandez and Jhonny Severino are all getting the job done:

Our minor leaguers face off against the Reds again today:

I wonder if this means that they are moving Low full-time to the mound? I don’t think he has been in a batting lineup yet.

I wouldn’t be opposed if they did. With two years in the system already his best path forward is probably to give his entire focus to one.

Unless I am forgetting someone, I believe also brings to three the number of hitters that were likely headed for full season rosters but who haven’t shown up in the lineup yet.

As far as hitters go, I think we're waiting to see OF Luis Castillo, 3B Ben Metzinger, OF Arbert Cipion, INF Alberis Ferrer, OF Reidy Mercado and possibly OF Luis Medina. But there's still 16 days until Wisconsin and Carolina are scheduled to play their first regular season game.

This happened a few days back versus the White Sox (Birmingham Barons) Double-A squad:

 

[wibadgers23]

Really wish we had some stats on these games.  Not that it matters but curious how some of these guys are looking so far.  I thought they might start Chourio out in A+ but it really does seem like he'll start the year in Biloxi, along with Quero.

That’s what happens when I post without a spreadsheet in front of me. Hopefully any injuries are short-term

By the way, check out the Phrake Twitter timeline this AM for sweet photos of six other players.
