    Dubon..... Scouting grades: Hit: 55 | Power: 35 | Run: 55 | Arm: 55 | Field: 55 | Overall: 45 Dubon is trying to become the first native Honduran and second Honduran-born player (after Gerald Young) to reach the big leagues. After a Christian baseball mission group visited his nation when he was 15, Dubon returned to the United States with them so he could improve his baseball skills while attending high school. Signed for $75,000 as a 26th-round pick in 2013, he has emerged as the system's best shortstop prospect because he's a better hitter than Deven Marrero and a better defender than C.J. Chatham. Dubon has tremendous hand-eye coordination and a quick right-handed bat, allowing him to barrel balls with ease. He has shown more patience in 2016, drawing more walks and getting himself out on weak contact less frequently. He'll never be a home run hitter, but adding some strength and balance at the plate would help him produce line drives more consistently. Though he played mostly second base when teamed with since-traded Javier Guerra in low Class A, Dubon is a legitimate shortstop and has played there almost exclusively following his mid-2015 promotion to high Class A. His quick hands and feet and his arm allow him to make plays from either side of the bag.

    Pennington..... Scouting grades: Fastball: 70 | Curveball: 55 | Changeup: 40 | Control: 45 | Overall: 45 Pennington was on course to become one of the first high school pitchers drafted from the Northeast in 2014 before he blew out his elbow that April. Though he needed Tommy John surgery, the Red Sox drafted him in the 29th round and signed him away from his St. John's commitment for $90,000. They've kept him on tight pitch and innings counts since he returned to the mound in 2015, and he has impressed in short stints. Pennington worked in the low 90s in high school but now operates at 94-98 mph, giving him one of the best fastballs in Boston's system. His movement and command with his heater don't stand out as much as its velocity, however. He shows aptitude for spinning an upper-70s curveball with good depth that could develop into a plus second pitch. Whether Pennington winds up as a starter or reliever remains to be seen. His changeup and control are still works in progress, and his lack of size and a less-than-clean delivery could point him to the bullpen. He'll remain in the rotation for now to give him some much-needed innings, but he could make for a high-leverage power reliever in the long run.

    Alex Speier ‏@alexspeier 3m3 minutes ago Alex Speier Retweeted Josh Norris Pitcher with upside of a starter - high-90s fastball and breaking ball offer at least late-innings relief profile.

    Alex Speier ‏@alexspeier 52s52 seconds ago Travis Shaw is expected to be in deal to Brewers. Still trying to discern who goes to the Red Sox.

    Jayson Stark ‏@jaysonst 54s54 seconds ago Teams in bottom 10 markets will still get an extra draft pick but no more lottery. They'll alternate after 1st round or 2nd round each year

    Milwaukee BrewersVerified account ‏@Brewers RHP Steve Geltz and RHP David Goforth have been outrighted to Triple-A @skysox. OF Adam Walker was claimed off waivers by Baltimore.
  11. JDBrewCrew
    He's played there the last three years in Korea.
  12. JDBrewCrew
    Also plays OF. Just saying they're increasing flexibility to trade Braun as well.

    Tom ‏@Haudricourt 1m1 minute ago Will be very interesting to see if #Brewers can pull off trade for Carter after being DFA’d. Interested teams can wait for him to be FA.

    Tom ‏@Haudricourt 14s15 seconds ago Scouting word on Thames: Good guy, good teammate, hard worker, in great shape at 30. Lots of MLB teams were showing interest. Jerry Crasnick ‏@jcrasnick 27s28 seconds ago #Brewers GM David Stearns was in Houston in 2013 when #Astros claimed Thames off waivers. Thames signed to play in Korea soon after that.

    Jerry Crasnick ‏@jcrasnick 2m2 minutes ago Eric Thames' three-year deal with the #Brewers is worth more than $15M guaranteed, source says. Adam McCalvy Retweeted Milwaukee Brewers The Brewers open a 40-man spot with a DFA of Carter. They will try to trade him before Friday's nontender deadline. Adam McCalvy ‏@AdamMcCalvy 13m13 minutes ago Thames' contract with the Brewers includes an option for a fourth year. He is a LHH, something the RHH-heavy Brewers were seeking Adam McCalvy ‏@AdamMcCalvy 16m16 minutes ago Brewers' gamble on Eric Thames is a fascinating one. All of their scouting was done via video of his games in Korea. Adam McCalvy ‏@AdamMcCalvy 3m3 minutes ago Big question is whether Thames can bring his KBO success to MLB. Pirates' Jung Ho Kang has said biggest adjustment is pitchers' velo. Tom ‏@Haudricourt 3m3 minutes ago #Brewers are having 10 am presser at Miller Park to introduce Eric Thames to local media Tom ‏@Haudricourt 30s31 seconds ago Stearns on Thames: "His ability to play first base along with both corner outfield positions adds versatility to the roster." Tom ‏@Haudricourt 18s19 seconds ago More Stearns on Thames: "Eric has been extremely impressive over three seasons in Korea. We look forward to his return to Major Leagues."

    Tom ‏@Haudricourt 37s37 seconds ago #Brewers have claimed two 30ish relievers in recent days in Blake Parker and Steve Geltz. Obviously prioritizing bullpen depth.
  17. JDBrewCrew
    Well... It will be watching him hit HRs in CS if he clears waivers.

    Tom ‏@Haudricourt 40s40 seconds ago #Brewers pitching coach Derek Johnson would be familiar with RHP Blake Parker from their time together in Cubs system. Tom ‏@Haudricourt 26s26 seconds ago Just spoke with #Brewers GM David Stearns about Parker. Said pro scouts and analytics like him. Still throws low-mid 90s and has splitter.

    Jeffrey FlanaganVerified account ‏@FlannyMLB Some sad news: Been told #Royals and The Great Balbino Fuenmayor have parted ways. They say too much 1B depth to re-sign him. http://www.milb.com/player/index.jsp?player_id=515768#/career/R/hitting/2016/ALL I would love for the Brewers to take a look. At the very least stick him in AAA.
