Mid-season promotions

[jay87shot]

Who are some players who ready for a promotion between now and the draft? We have a ton of pitchers that seem to be developing fast as mentioned in a post earlier today. Add in some solid bats and incoming talent from the draft to push some people up the chain.

AAA- Issac Collins, Chad Patrick, slew of big leaguers coming back from injury.

This gets tough because of the overall amount of guys coming off injury. Collins and Patrick are playing well enough to warrent a chance but I predict that neither probably gets a shot in the near future based on roster spots.

AA- Misirowski,  Carlos Rodriguez (OF), Justin Yeager, Craig Yoho, Shane Smith

Misi could be in line for AAA with a couple more starts like yesterday. Carlos has more BB than K's and is hitting .300. Yeager, Yoho, and Smith have all been really good but might have a hard time to get to AAA with a pretty packed AAA roster.

A+= Mark Manfredi, Tate Kuehner, KC Hunt, Alexander Cornielle

All 4 have been solid, Hunt has amazing K/bb rates. It might be a bit soon since his Carolina promotion but he has been solid. Again higher level roster mean all 4 starters won't be promoted. Matt Wood could be in line for a promotion but with a similar Darrien Miller in AA I doubt either on move up.

A- Yhoswar Garcia, Cooper Pratt, Manuel Rodriguez, Yorman Galindez

Yhoswar should be a easy promotion with his steady play and at 22 is ready for Appleton. Pratt and Manny have been lights out and are probably ready to be challenged more before the season is done. Galindez has also been very good.

Rookie- Hayden Robinson, Eric Bitonti

Both of these guys are probably fine in rookie ball the rest of the year but have been good enough to get a promotion around the draft if solid play continues.

With as many changes to roster rules and the draft in recent years I have a hard time trying to figure out what collective strategy looks like. Having so many of your draft picks from last year performing well is a great problem but figuring out when to move players with relatively little experience and who and were others are released...

Agreed, I just made a list of players preforming well. Adding 15+ players in the draft will likely add to roster crunch. Possibly we end up trading a bunch of prospects at the deadline.

I would like to see Patrick and and Clarke take Blalock and Carroll's spot. Both could pitch 4-5 innings and give the pen more rest and 1 could stick possibly.

Then Misi/Shane Smith to AAA, Manfredi/Keuhner/Hunt to AA, Manny Rodriguez to A+, and Robinson to A ball.

Maybe OF promotions to CarRod to AAA, Valerio to AA, Yhoswar to A+

Pratt to Wisconsin. It’s time.

Galindez is on the IL

I just have to think that they will need to release some of their AAAA guys. I think the guys below them are, or will be, better players. It's just that simple.

Most of Biloxi's pitchers have deserved a callup.  Many are old for the league so need to be challenged at AAA.  I think Yeager Shane Smith, Yoho, and Bowman are most likely.  Gardner and Russell Smith are as well but are on the IL.

How they make room at AAA will be the challenge as well as backfilling AA.

Feel like the Brewers were so aggressive with preseason/early season promotions that there might not be many midseason promotion opportunities. I was pretty shocked by the O-Rae promotion, so maybe they will get aggressive with midseason promotions as well. 

The only guy I really feel passionately about deserving a promotion right now is Yoho

Yeah I missed this one. Pratt to A+ and Yoho to AAA are probably the two promotions I most want to see.

Do we think any DSL players will get a chance stateside.  Pena and Made are still destroying the league, though are only 17.  Maybe Jose Anderson?  There is a little over a month left of games in ACL.  If they promote them, you would think it would be soon.

[ClosetBrewerFan]

The last official ACL game is July 25th.  While we know they still plan to play scrimmages in Arizona after that date, have to believe the Brewers will promote a few of the top prospects to Carolina at that time. Bitonti, Adamczewski, Holguin, Barrios, Ordonez would all be candidates.  I'd also expect a few pitchers though its been a rough year for Arz pitching.  That should cause a ripple effect with promotions throughout the org.  Of course there will also be a handful of college draftees that will be sprinkled in as well.
