Have a confession to make.

With all due respect to the hard-working draftniks out there, with one exception (pushing for Prince Fielder to be drafted in 2002, he was not expected to be picked 7th overall, so thank me Brewer fans), I just can't fathom the energy expended on draft prep as a fan.

Do I want to know every detail about each one of the Brewers' picks? Of course. But after the fact! Because there's 30+ first rounders who the Brewers didn't pick.

I get all the machinations that go into the day, so knock yourselves out, those who enjoy. Meanwhile, I'll review the post-draft board and every morsel then written and recorded about the Crew's selections.

Big January 2026 international signing SS Diego Frontado returned to the DSL Brewers Blue for his first action in 16 days. Great sign.

Another good sign: Blue pitchers combined on a 9-inning shutout with 14 strikeouts.

Though Blue hitters only pushed 1 run across, they also only K’d 3 times.

18-year old RHP Raymond Sarmiento led DSL Brewers Gold as the staff tossed a 2-hitter over 9 innings, though it was still a close win at 4-3.

Ricki Moneys had a 2-run homer and a double.

Sarmiento has allowed 1 earned run in his last 4 games (18 innings). Safe to say he’ll be in Arizona next spring.

20-year old RHP Josh Knoth (3.14 ERA, 1.12 WHIP, 9.1 K/9 in 28.2 High-A IP) makes his 9th start for Wisconsin as they seek to grab a 3-2 home series lead over Beloit. 2B Daniel Dickinson is 6-for-11 with 2 homers and 7 RBIs over his last 3 games.
