    I was referring more to his age rather than anything. They have been very conservative with his promotions throughout his career. Teams don’t hesitate to have a prospect skip a level (or multiple levels) these days. While there were definitely plenty of injury concerns along the way and he hasn’t always been quite this polished, he could certainly have been promoted to full-season ball in 2019, to Wisconsin in 2021, to Biloxi earlier than he was, and to Nashville at any point last year. I honestly hadn’t broken it down by PA’s so that gives me a fresh perspective about it. All things considered, I just like the way the organization has handled him, allowing him to mature as a player and not A.) giving up on him as another failed big-time international FA in his rookie ball days or B.) seeing him start to come into his own, hitting the gas, and burning him out the way many prospects have been recently. I hope people are starting to realize that, despite a slightly advanced age, he is absolutely every bit of a top prospect as any other player in the system.

    I remember seeing flashes of this version of EMJ even as far back as 2019 with the Rocky Mountain Vibes, but he truly is a testament of how taking things slow with some players can pay off. While players like Chourio and Made are the obviously exception, I hate the fact that rushing top prospects through the minors has become the norm. I truly believe it ruins a lot of talented players the way some organizations (Angels, Padres, etc.) push these youngsters. Some players take time to develop, but when they arrive they are much more polished and ready to contribute.

    Also, while he is older than other DSL arms, Molina has touched 96 mph already.

    On a day with some less-than-ideal news, I’m happy to share something positive. RHP Jaron DeBerry is not injured. The organization has just taken his ramp up a little bit slower this spring, and he expects to be assigned to either A Carolina or A+ Wisconsin in the near future.

    They have not been released yet. Nashville’s will likely be released in the morning and the rest of the full-season affiliate rosters will be released somewhere between April 2-4. It depends on the year, but the Brewers roster wasn’t even announced officially until three hours before today’s game.

    Old friend Jake (sometimes Henry) Gatewood has signed with the New York Yankees. The power-hitting infielder is still chasing the dream and pushing for his first taste of the big leagues after a monster 2024 season with independent Gastonia.
  7. ARobsBrewCrew
    Fortunately, he did actually appear in one big league spring game and even registered a strikeout, although the overall results were poor with three walks in 0.2 IP. Still, it is a puzzling and unfortunate move.
  8. ARobsBrewCrew
    In order to sign all draftees that end up coming to terms, undrafted free agents, and MiLB free agents, yes. But not all of those spots will be open by the start of the minor league season. Some of those spots will open up gradually over the next few months.
  9. ARobsBrewCrew
    Thank you for your work crunching the numbers! That means that there will be a decent number jumping stateside. I hate being that guy, but we also have not seen the typical end of spring training releases yet. That is something that we dread each and every year, but it will open up even more roster spots.
  10. ARobsBrewCrew
    There are indeed some surprising names missing, but there will be players that are currently at the Dominican academy that are brought stateside before the ACL season begins. If Ortuño and Quintana are healthy, which I believe they are, then I would certainly expect them to be in Arizona within the next month.

    I don’t recall posting anywhere, but Cortez underwent Tommy John surgery on September 5th last year. Given that timeline, the hope is that he will be good to go on MiLB Opening Day 2026 when he will still be just 19 years old.
  12. ARobsBrewCrew
    According to Garcia, he had an agreement in place with the Dbacks until last November. Arizona backed out of the deal after he did not pass his physical exam. Of course, that could mean a lot of things so if I receive any clarification I will pass it along. I believe Garcia is a great pickup especially considering Milwaukee ended up getting him for a fraction of his true value. Garcia and Yeuri Ramírez will make for a couple of very intriguing names to watch in the DSL this year, that is if Garcia is healthy.

    RHP Yorman Galindez underwent a non-TJ elbow surgery in late June last year. Originally, the hope was he would be ready for the start of the 2025 season. That will not be the case as the hope now is that he will be back by June or July at the latest. That still puts him ahead of what a typical Tommy John recovery timeline would be. He has not had any setbacks and is progressing well, the process is just taking longer than originally expected.

    Not sure if it ended up being touched on elsewhere already, but Logan confirmed with me today that the slider is back. It was, obviously, put on the back burner for a while, but he thought it was the right time to add it back into his arsenal. The organization believes that, once it becomes comfortable out of the hand again, it could be what puts him over the top from a quality MLB starter to a potential top-of-the-rotation arm.
  15. ARobsBrewCrew
    I was just adding on some additional names that should be returning as he was already mentioned. Shears is throwing off the mound and I would expect him to be pitching in games by May or June at the latest. He had his TJ surgery on March 28 last year and hasn’t had any setbacks that I’m aware of.
  16. ARobsBrewCrew
    Galindez had a non-TJ elbow surgery and was hoping to be full go for spring training last I heard. Brandon Knarr and Cameron Wagoner should be healthy again as well.
  17. ARobsBrewCrew
    RHP Josh Knoth is about a month and a half removed from Tommy John surgery and will miss the entire 2025 season.
  18. ARobsBrewCrew
    The Brewers have signed RHP Albert Vargas, Jr. as an international free agent out of Venezuela. He is represented by the same agency as RHP Jesus Rivero. Not much is known about Vargas except that he works in the low 90’s with his fastball at the moment.
  19. ARobsBrewCrew
    Former Brewers farmhand Luis Castro has been signed by the Houston Astros. Castro spent the 2021 season between Biloxi and Nashville, but has been out of affiliated ball ever since, playing in independent and foreign leagues the past few years.
  20. ARobsBrewCrew
    Former Brewers Aussie farmhands C Alex Hall and INF Jesse Williams are headed to the Australian Baseball League Championship Series in hopes of brining home a “Claxton Shield”. They’ve both played a major role in Perth’s terrific season and are two of the best players in the ABL.
  21. ARobsBrewCrew
    RHP Nash Walters, former top Brewers draft pick back in ‘15, has signed on with the Chunichi Dragons in Japan after working with Driveline this offseason. Walters made an extremely brief MLB debut in 2022 for the Angels.
  22. ARobsBrewCrew
    LHP Adam Seminaris, acquired with Janson Junk and Elvis Peguero from the Angels in the Hunter Renfroe trade a couple years back, has signed a minor league contract with Seattle. The southpaw had been released by Milwaukee back in October.
  23. ARobsBrewCrew
    Bob Uecker Field at Miller Park a la Rickey Henderson Field at the Oakland Coliseum. It’ll always be Miller Park in my eyes, but I like the idea of finding a way to include Ueck. He was Milwaukee through and through.

    Like I said, every player will be forced to make adjustments. After watching him develop the past fours years, there’s no reason for any changes to be made at this point. Oftentimes, prematurely making those changes to a players’ mechanics are where development goes awry. A bat waggle in itself shouldn’t concern many evaluators, especially with the results he has had, and that’s really the only thing that is out of the ordinary for Areinamo. His bat waggle doesn’t force his hands to “catch up” and rush his swing, his head stays fairly level, and he repeats his swing mechanics well. Many players (hitters and pitchers) with a lot of movement have trouble repeating their mechanics cleanly, but he does not struggle in that regard.
  25. ARobsBrewCrew
    Areinamo has been very consistent and, in fact, improved at each subsequent level. While he will certainly be tested in the cavernous Southern League, I give him all of the benefit of the doubt. To be fair, every single player that has ever played the game at any level has been forced to make some changes. There’s nothing particularly worrisome for Jadher that would be any different from anyone else in my eyes.
