    OF Arbert Cipion was diagnosed with Keratoconus in both eyes this offseason which is an alteration in the shape of the eye that affects vision to some extent (PS- I am not a doctor). Cipion has had an operation on one eye already and, once that is healed, will have it on the other one as well. No timetable is set for his return, but, unfortunately, I fear it may be a lengthy absence.

    LHP Pablo Garabitos expects to be in Wisconsin by the end of the month or early May at the latest as he rehabs a minor arm issue that is not elbow related.
  3. ARobsBrewCrew
    RHP Arielbi Gonzalez is dealing with a more significant injury and does not know when he will return to the mound.

    I’ll try to keep these updates rolling the next couple of days, but here are two to start off with: RHP Miguel Segura is dealing a minor (non-arm) injury and expects to be in game action within 2-3 weeks, assuming that will be with the Mudcats. OF Luis Castillo was also dealing with a minor injury but is fully healthy now. He is just getting back up to speed and it may not even be two weeks before he joins Carolina.

    @damuelle I appreciate the mention regarding Ryne Moore. Also, I was told that (similar to the Pirates system with Endy Rodriguez and Henry Davis) the Quero/Miller placements were more about making sure they get at bats every day rather than Miller’s issues controlling the running game, although that is obviously a concern. The only question was who would get which assignment as it was pretty much a toss-up in terms of Milwaukee’s confidence in their bats as, of course, both represent a formidable presence in the lineup.

    RHP Luis Contreras will start off the season with Nashville. With the number of pitchers in consideration for innings at the highest level, there was a chance he would be sent back to Biloxi to begin the campaign.

    2022 top draft pick SS Eric Brown, Jr. confirmed with me this afternoon that he is indeed headed to Appleton to begin his first full pro season.

    Unsurprising development here, LHP Leoni De La Cruz has already found a new home. He signed with the independent league Gastonia Honey Hunters yesterday. Would not be surprised at all if he found his way back to affiliated ball this summer.

    I was very high on Figueroa heading into 2022 and he has certainly flashed great potential at times, albeit with worrisome inconsistency. So to answer your question, yes, I would put him in that group as well. It does worry me seeing releases like De La Cruz, Hasler, etc. though because, since there are so many talented young arms that have yet to establish themselves, there unfortunately won’t be enough innings (especially starts) to go around with Carolina, Wisconsin, in the ACL, or wherever. There really isn’t enough space at the moment to give second chances either so I just hope they are able to get creative with getting guys work (and avoiding releases). Jeison Peña, for example, was a guy they were hoping could try his hand at starting, although I like him better in a relief role, but I don’t see how they would even have an opportunity to try that. The list of pitchers who could potentially start at either Carolina or Wisconsin is staggering, not even mentioning guys like Juan Geraldo and Jhoan Cruz that have shown nasty stuff. It will certainly be an interesting season seeing how the organization handles this problem, a good problem to have I might add. The guys that stick in the rotation will have to be very impressive in order to fight off the immense competition for those spots and, on the other side, we will come out of this season with some exciting new relief prospects that had been previously viewed as starters.

    Raul Mendoza was also released by the Brewers last year. My apologies as that had slipped my mind.

    Not sure when this was originally written if you had prepared it over the course of the offseason or not, but Brady Schanuel, Christian Tripp, Leoni De La Cruz, and Junior Montero have all been released over the past 6-8 months. As for my thoughts, there is a real lack of true relief options in the lower minors for Milwaukee, however, there are plenty of starters with good stuff that struggled at times (I.e. Vallecillo, Segura, Olguin, etc.) that could see their stuff play up in shorter outings which is exciting. Way more promising young starting pitchers in the organization than starts to go around at the moment.

    LHP Kodi Medeiros, 2014 Brewers 1st rounder, announced his retirement from professional baseball tonight.
  13. ARobsBrewCrew
    Copying this here as well for those that do not follow some of the other threads as much: Not sure if anyone had reported this earlier, but RHP Ryne Moore underwent Tommy John surgery last summer. He is now playing catch from 40 feet and is about 6 weeks from getting back on the mound. Of course, game action is still a ways off, but a mid season return is the goal.

    Ernesto reported to spring camp yesterday which was the official position player report date for minor league camp. He said he’s fully healthy, they just do not want to get him started too early after his injury-shortened campaign last year. Goal is to be ready to go by opening day and be well-resting and prepared for a full season

    Minor League Spring Training report dates: 03/04 pitchers and catchers 03/11 position players 03/15 games

    Don’t have the time to read the article or comments right now, but a successful 2023 for the Brewers is 1 of 2 scenarios with virtually no variation: 1.) Brewers narrowly make the postseason via a wild card spot while relying on their starting pitching depth once again with an early elimination from the postseason. 2.) Brewers are not contending around the trade deadline or, at the very least, clearly have no shot of a division title and decide to capitalize on the most valuable major league assets by selling in order to build the best, deepest young organization and farm system in baseball. This would set them up for competitive baseball for years and years to come as well as free up salary space.

    Mendez, Quero, and Turang all proved a great deal in 2022 if we all step out of our chancyphile lens and into reality for a second. I suppose I can see a case for Turang having to prove himself ,once again, at the major league level this season, but ‘22 went a long way in showing his value. Also, Gasser shouldn’t have any pressure put on him to prove anything in regards to “being the return for Hader”. Gasser will go out in 2023 and be the exciting pitcher that he has been in the past.

    What you say is definitely fair, but I think you should check again on Robinson and Devanney. This is not the first season in which either has impressed. Also, I don’t know who Richards is

    I guess at that point it’s just playing the odds. There are many guys on the lists above that the organization desperately wants to keep. It’s just extremely unlikely that guys like Castaneda, Jarvis, or Valerio would be picked simply because there is a number of other prospects every year that are “MLB-ready” and have had better numbers at higher levels than those I have just mentioned, and most of those players don’t even get picked because most organizations aren’t even in a position to take a chance on that roster spot. That doesn’t mean that the Brewers don’t value those guys, it’s just they (and the other organizations) know those players aren’t ready yet.

    Turang, Robinson, and Uribe are all locks from what I have heard. Clayton Andrews is a guy that the organization is still quite high on so I wouldn’t be surprised if he is added.
