    We thank @BrewersPD for once again sharing lineups from Minor League Camp, giving us about 2 weeks worth of information to decipher - e.g. missing players (injuries?), position changes (Erceg pitching!?) and eventually likely assignment levels for some players (AAA, AA, A+, A). I'd advise that you don't read too much into indicated assignment levels for top prospects (who often feature higher in these Spring Training games), pitchers and catchers (who work wherever slots are available) or clear back-ups (daily fillers).

    We have our first Minor League Camp lineups, thanks to BrewersPD! We’ll create a new thread for this, but I wanted to share the first one here right away. Hooray!

    I assume we’ll open a new thread in this Minor League forum for minor league camp spring training lineups, similar to prior years. I’m also worried they may not post the lineups this year, as they’ve not yet posted the ACL and DSL manager and coach names, but hopefully we’re not left disappointed. Fingers crossed.

    I agree that we pivoted to select Thomas after misreading the market on Smith’s value and losing him. And yes, now I want Thomas to become a 15-year super swingman or lefty silencer while Smith becomes a relatively ordinary 10-year MLB reliever. I hope we don’t end up with the worst of all worlds, where Thomas costs us some wins in 2025 and ultimately gets returned, while Smith has a sterling career with several All Star appearances. We obviously wouldn’t have expected to use Smith much in MLB in 2025 (if we’d selected him), so I won’t judge his 2025 MLB season as very meaningful. It’s more about whether he has a successful multi-season MLB career.

    There’s also the man who put up 47 homers and 152 RBIs over the past 2 seasons: Mr. Wes Clarke. I think there’s a Canha vs. Bauers MLB roster decision, with the other player likely opting out.

    BrewersPD usually starts posting them from about March 14 and yes, we like to create a forum and paste them there, usually starting with a loooonngggg list of the Minor League Camp Roster. Fingers crossed.

    Sorry, not sorry Elvis

    Doubled and homered today. Seems like an opt-out candidate to me, unless a key MLB position player injury pops up (heaven forbid).

    “I’m not angry, YOU’RE angry!” I think to myself as I look in the mirror.

    Thanks for this. That early season Rodriguez-Miller-Kahle AAA decision (until Quero can catch) will probably come down to whoever can best handle Yoho and Misiorowski. Pratt seems like a fast track Major Leaguer, so I struggle to think we’d send him to Appleton at 20 years, 7.5 months. And yeah, if Pratt’s in AA, we might as well get Adamczewski up to High-A if he’s ready. I guess we could make Lara initially repeat High-A and have Kay Lan Nicasia (among MILB farmhand call-ups today - first sighting since May 16, 2024 injury, I think) be an old man in Low-A, giving Restituyo, Spain, Adam Hall and Eduardo Garcia more time in the Biloxi outfield with O’Rae. Guys like Luis Pena, Jose Anderson, Wande Torres and Demetrio Nadal could stay back in Extended Spring Training and still technically skip ACL ball by getting promoted to Carolina before ACL games start on May 3rd.

    Germany fell 6-4 to Brazil, with our man Yannic Walther going 0-for-3 with a walk (promptly picked off). It was a rough week for the 20-year old, unfortunately. So the WBC 2026 field is now set, with Colombia, Nicaragua, Brazil and Chinese Taipei grabbing the last 4 qualifying spots. Games start on March 5, 2026.
  12. Ro Mueller
    The Qualify-or-Go Home Finale between Germany and Brazil has commenced, with the Brewers’ Yannic Walther DHing and batting 6th for Germany:
  13. Ro Mueller
    Germany (1-2) fell 10-0 to Colombia (3-0) in their final group match, with Yannic Walther not seeing action. Fortunately, the format now pits them in a qualify-or-go-home rematch against Brazil (2-1) on Thursday at 7pm.
  14. Ro Mueller
    Oh my. Our man Yannic Walther (1-for-4) struggled in right field as Germany lost 9-7 to Brazil, going 1-for-11 with RISP and stranding 14 baserunners. They drop to a 1-1 record and play Colombia tomorrow at 7pm CST.
  15. Ro Mueller
    Germany's second qualifier (against Brazil) is under way, with the Brewers' Yannic Walther batting 6th and playing right field. Unfortunately, Germany has left 5 on base through the first 2 innings:
  16. Ro Mueller
    Germany took advantage of 3 early errors by China to build a 6-2 lead, then added 6 more runs in the 7th inning to win 12-2 by mercy rule. C Yannic Walther went 0-for-3 (line out, fly out, reached on fly out error) and was 0-for-1 attempting to throw out basestealers. Colombia prevailed 5-0 over Brazil in the other match-up. Today at 12:00pm CST, Germany (1-0) faces Brazil (0-1), with Colombia (1-0) and China (0-1) playing at 7:00pm CST.
  17. Ro Mueller
    The second set of WCB qualifiers are commencing this minute in Tucson, Arizona, with 20-year old Brewers’ catcher Yannic Walther starting Germany’s opening game (and hitting clean-up!) against China:
  18. Ro Mueller
    He’s a Mud Hen anyway.
  19. Ro Mueller
    Thanks for these updates @Jim Goulart. I wonder when we’ll see Brock Wilken…
  20. Ro Mueller
    I really thought we’d trade him at the 2023 trade deadline, given how much we prize defense. He had a .946 OPS with 47 SBs in AA ball at the time (July 30, 2023), so I thought we could sell high. Hopefully he figures it all out this year nonetheless.

    We've up to Game 3 of Spring Training, so I must now ask: Where's Tyler Black?
  22. Ro Mueller
    Nicaragua punches their ticket to the March 2026 WBC with a 6-0 victory. They allowed just 2 runs in 29 innings across 3 games.
  23. Ro Mueller
    SS Freddy Zamora is contributing both ways and Nicaragua leads Chinese Taipei 3-0 through 6 innings:
  24. Ro Mueller
    Interesting signing. We’ve got some options for the final 4 position player spots: Durbin, Dunn (I’m not sold), Canha, Black (also not sold), Monasterio, Bauers, Capra, Collins, Hicklen, Martinez.
  25. Ro Mueller
    The final group match is Nicaragua (2-0) against Chinese Taipei (1-1). Spain finished with a 2-1 record, while conceding 8 total runs (the main tiebreaker). Nicaragua can automatically qualify for the 2026 WBC with a victory OR by holding Chinese Taipei to 6 or fewer runs. Otherwise they’ll drop to 2nd or 3rd place in the group and play a win-or-else re-match against Chinese Taipei for the 2nd qualifying spot:
