  1. I believe that Black’s defense made major strides in 2023 both in terms of year-to-year and throughout this most recent campaign. It’s important to keep in mind that, while his fielding % did improve at AAA, improvement and development is not always apparent in the numbers. I feel as though I saw noticeable progress at third base for him throughout the year even when the results didn’t necessarily paint the same picture at AA. All of that not even to mention the taste that he got at first base which, as much as some might disagree, is not any easy position to just pick up. The goal for him short-term is a split between those two spots, hopefully leaning more third base or even, if he gets more comfortable, full-time 3B. His fall back would be a full-time transition to first base, although there have been talks in the past about transitioning back to second or even trying the corner outfield spots. Of course, mixing some time in at DH is certainly in the future for the Canadian speedster/slugger as well although they would prefer to leave that spot open for others to get ABs if at all possible.
  2. No, I don’t have any inside info just throwing it out there
  3. His last start at AAA you mean? 👀
  4. Friday, July 26 at home vs. Miami following an off day allowing for the hype/ticket sales as someone already mentioned (hopefully Sandy Alcantara or Eury Perez on the mound, both of which he has had success off of already). Chourio will be the big-time deadline “acquisition”. Now that I’ve said this, he’ll be in Milwaukee for the series against Chicago next weekend.
  5. Of course, Clarke’s bat is what is intriguing and that will be his ticket to the big leagues if he makes it. That being said, the organization is determined to continue the development behind the plate so he can at least keep splitting his time between C/1B/DH. He provides a big target and is a solid receiver of the ball, it’s mainly his arm that needs work behind the plate which is something that can be improved. From what I’ve heard (and seen) there is no realistic possibility of 3B or OF. Just not in the cards with his range and agility which is just fine. Obviously, not all players need to have that kind of versatility or career trajectory to get to the bigs.
  6. The hype is real as it should be. My hope is just that fans have some patience. Not saying that I think he’ll struggle by any means, but, say he spends most of 2024 in Milwaukee, it’s entirely okay if he does not put up a 20-40 season as a rookie. I think that’s what many expect at this point and maybe it happens, but it will probably take some more development at the big league level. Can’t even put into words how excited I am for him just as a person. Very kind individual.
  7. Chourio is also headed to AAA, but that doesn’t eliminate the possibility of Clarke moving up as well.
  8. It seems that Carlos D. Rodriguez and Max Lazar will not be joining Nashville. The organization is content with the solid seasons they both put together in 2023. That narrows things down somewhat. Look for one bat (likely Clarke, but possibly Chourio) and one arm (likely Meeker) to join Carlos F. Rodriguez.
  9. He is indeed. Chourio, Clarke, Carlos D. Rodriguez, Meeker, and Lazar are also being considered for a promotion. Of course, not room for all of them however.
  10. I have heard that SS Eric Brown, Jr. is also headed to AA Biloxi. Trying to confirm that at the moment.
  11. RHP Shane Smith has been promoted to AA Biloxi after an outstanding first full pro season to this point between Carolina and Wisconsin.
  12. Not sure about anyone else with Mudcats/Rattlers, but I have heard that there have been discussions about Logan Henderson moving up to Biloxi once playoffs are finished since he’ll miss the opportunity to pitch for the Rattlers this year.
  13. Unbeknownst to me until today, Garcia also had a brief promotion to Nashville in 2022.
  14. My sincerest apologies, a lot on my mind at the moment. C Jesus Garcia was also released, not Jesus Parra whom was released earlier this season.
  15. Also released today was 1B Jesus Parra. I believe there are still more names to come, unfortunately.
  16. CF Luis Medina has been released.
  17. I’ve heard rumblings about first base, second base, and corner outfield spots, but he isn’t particularly suited for first with his size and his problems are not actually with the glove, it’s his arm. They are going to continue to give him reps at shortstop and third base while working on bringing down the throwing errors. At this point, while individuals in the organization may have other landing spots in the back of their minds, the focus will remain on sticking on the left side of the infield because his glove is honestly pretty strong and he has good strength in his throwing arm, just needs work.
  18. Fourth Brewers (kinda) prospect in the last decade to pass away by my count. Donny Everett and Charlie Donovan (2015 draftees, did not sign), Andres Melendez (2017 int. signing), and now Familia (2015 int. signing). Four young, talented individuals taken too soon. Of course, one is too many. RIP Aaron
  19. Add this to the Michael Mediavilla, Leoni De La Cruz, Kent Hasler (etc.) mystery reliever release list. All I’ve been told is his injury wasn’t too serious, at least not career-threatening, and he has been a great guy in the clubhouse.
  20. Unfortunately, I don’t have much to share at this point, but I’ll see if I can find some of that info for those interested.
  21. I believe he’s already been told, pending his health, that he’ll likely be participating.
  22. Suffered a non-displaced hairline fracture on his left scapula on July 1st. He was expected to miss about 8 weeks with the injury.
  23. Fun to think about it and I’m a huge Miggy fan, always have been, but the 2023 brewers are a few notches below even the 2003 Wild Card Marlins no matter who they bring in at the deadline. I wish it weren’t the case, but this offense, even with the talent on the pitching staff, isn’t capable of making it past the first round of the playoffs.
  24. Personally, I would swap C-Rod with Gasser although I like his stuff as well. Have to believe Luis Lara and Yophery Rodriguez are in consideration for the last few spots too.
