  1. I believe Arias is dealing with an injury and is still in the organization, unless I have missed something.
  2. Santiesteban is the one that stands out, already with a great showing today in his pro debut. Luis Lameda and Luiyin Alastre have turned heads in the organization, so I’ve heard. Eric Martinez kind of flies under the radar, but has some thump in his bat. Eric Prado, already mentioned I know, and Pedro Quintana are pitching prospect that you should keep tabs on. Quintana has been in the organization for a couple of years since Mets trade, but is finally healthy and ready to make his professional debut I believe.
  3. C/1B Tayden Hall is dealing with a nagging lower back injury. He is headed to Arizona to see a specialist and, at this point, it seems as though his absence may be longer than his first stay on the IL this season. That being said, this is not a situation that should keep him out longer than a month, hence the 7-day IL placement.
  4. Was shut down with elbow soreness this spring (also what kept him out of the AFL last year) that is considered a common occurrence when coming back from the procedure he had a year ago. I was told it was considered nothing major and Henderson himself told me, barring a setback, he expected to begin a rehab assignment with the Mudcats in early May, after which he would head to Wisconsin.
  5. For those that may be interested, Luis Lara will be joining the Mudcats this week. Lara and Luis Castillo (hopefully making his season debut in the next couple weeks as well) could be two spark plugs in the lineup.
  6. In more positive news, RHP Ryne Moore (rehab from TJ surgery) will return to the mound next week. Still a little ways from game action, but getting closer!
  7. Unfortunately, it is a throwing arm issue for Low, a forearm issue to be exact. Better than elbow or shoulder for sure, but there is no official diagnosis or timetable for his return at this point.
  8. For those wondering (since information has been nonexistent for some reason), RHP Thyago Vieira is still in the organization and is rehabbing an injury at the Arizona Complex. No, I don’t have much else on the type of injury, but it doesn’t seem to be too serious. My very broad estimate is a return to game action in the next month or two, possibly sooner.
  9. Couple more updates for you: LHP Brian Fitzpatrick has been sidelined since last August with a “stretched” nerve in his pitching elbow. The hope is a mid-season return at this point, most likely late July. RHP Logan Henderson has been dealing with a minor arm injury (same as what held him out of AFL action last fall) that is essentially mild soreness in his elbow. I was told this is to be expected with the elbow surgery that he had early last season and is not particularly cause for concern. He is targeting an early May assignment which will likely be a rehab assignment at Carolina before moving up to Wisconsin.
  10. Still waiting on an update, but I spoke with him on March 25th at which point he said that he was feeling good and ready for a healthy season. Perhaps he is ramping up still and nearing game action. I’ll update if I hear anything else!
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. RHP Arielbi Gonzalez is dealing with a more significant injury and does not know when he will return to the mound.
  14. 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.
  15. @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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. Raul Mendoza was also released by the Brewers last year. My apologies as that had slipped my mind.
  21. 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.
  22. LHP Kodi Medeiros, 2014 Brewers 1st rounder, announced his retirement from professional baseball tonight.
  23. 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.
