@Brock Beauchamp Can you add Handelfry Encarnacion?

Could Wednesdays be used to balance out the schedule (I could be wrong, but I think there are 15 teams)?

Just looking at Fangraphs, they’ve got the his overall contact rate at 69.6, which isn’t great, but is better than last year so far at a higher level.

While a lot might have changed since then (or they might have felt compelled to get the new arrivals stateside more action), it feels based on the spring training lineups that you’d be looking at Antunez, Frias and Fenelon as the primary outfielders, three of Hughes, Acosta, Martinez and Liao at 2nd, SS and 3rd, Mills behind the plate, with some other interesting names manning the first base and backup spots. Hoping some of remaining players from the absurd Made/Pena led class can make their presence felt (Martinez, Rangel, Paulino, possibly a few others). Excited to see Diustin Mayorquin making his stateside debut as well.

It almost seems like it will be disappointing on nights Wisconsin doesn’t score at least 8 runs at this point.

The strikeout rate is what I am guessing keeps him in Appleton a few more weeks. Now Josh Adamczewski on the other hand, I keep checking for that promotion every day.

Have we seen an ABS challenge on a hit by pitch yet? It would be kind of hilarious to have one overturned because the pitch was actually a strike.

If it is a 5 game cycle, probably Healy followed by Carra.

It wouldn’t be a big Luke Adams day without a hit by pitch.

Nice sweep! Big relief innings from Meneses and Manfredi.

Maybe something has been mentioned, but I wonder if the Timber Rattlers do a modified tandem system. They have Meccage, Dorchies and Torres going the first three games and then five guys who started games this spring (Galindez, Woodward, Owens, Smith and Low). While I am skeptical of Low being anything more than an opener, any of the others could be starters for them.

As @Ro Mueller stated in the other thread, Hernandez was never that I can remember brought over to big league camp and never showed up in minor league lineups that were posted. It could be an unofficial rehab assignment or they could have been working on something and wanted to start with the easier placement.

Yah, but I don’t know if he ever moves back to the rotation if he stays in Milwaukee.

I know there are more, but two of the missing players on the minor league rosters who caught my eye were Jacob Morrison and Kevin Garcia, who I don’t think I have seen mention of this spring. Any update on them?

I think if I remember correctly, they have speculated that some of the things the Brewers are good at in concert create some sort of force multiplier.
