  1. On Monday, C Brian Navarreto went 1-for-4 in Carolina's 8-1 loss to Ponce, which evened their semifinal series at 3 games apiece. Nobody attempted to steal on him. The series finale is scheduled for Wednesday evening.
  2. Sunday Winter League action: C Brian Navarreto - 0-for-3, with a sacrifice; no steal attempts against him - in Carolina's 3-0 loss to Ponce which reduced Carolina's semifinal series lead to 3 games to 2 in Puerto Rico RHP Christian Mejias - 0.1 IP, 2 R, 0 H, 2 BB - in Aragua's 10-3 loss to Lara. Aragua is one of 4 teams battling for 2nd place (i.e. a place in the final) with 11 games to play in Venezuela Manager Victor Estevez's Leones del Escogido squad defeated Tigres del Licey 12-8 to claw within 1 game of Licey for 2nd place (i.e. a place in the final) with 9 games to play in the Dominican Republic Earlier in the season, Manager Nestor Corredor's Aguilas del Zulia squad placed 6th of 8 teams in the Venezuelan regular season, then were eliminated by 5th place Aragua in the play-in series.
  3. - On Friday, C Brian Navarreto entered as a defensive replacement in the bottom of the 9th inning, as Carolina fended off a 2-on, nobody out (and bases loaded, 2-out) situation to defeat Ponce 5-3 and take a 3-1 semifinal series lead.
  4. I was expecting something along this line: below Haase in contract status, above Navarreto in MLB experience. I wouldn’t expect Quero to be promoted early in the season, so any injury time (God forbid) for Contreras or Haase in April/May would very likely see a Nola or Navarreto call-up for that period. Having retained Navarreto and added Haase, Nola, R. Rodriguez and D. Garcia, I think we’ve nearly re-established our catching depth, though we still need Jose Sibrian or another player for High-A Wisconsin (I think).
  5. Oh the knees, God help the knees! - C Brian Navarreto caught all 19 innings (yes, you read that correctly) of Carolina’s 3-2 victory to take a 2-1 series lead over Ponce in Puerto Rico on Thursday - Navarreto - 0-for-7 at the plate. Threw out 1 of 2 attempted basestealers. Also picked off a runner at first base. Carolina won on an Adeiny Hechavarria walk-off solo shot - In Venezuela, RHP Christian Mejias - 1 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 0 BB, 1 K - in Aragua’s 6-5 victory over Lara
  6. - Signed C David Garcia and assigned to AAA Nashville The switch-hitting Garcia spent 7 years (6 seasons) in the Rangers’ organization before reaching minor league free agency. He’ll turn 24 in February.
  7. On Wednesday, C Brian Navaretto went 1-for-4 with an RBI double, but it wasn’t enough as Ponce tied up the semifinal series 1-1 with a 3-1 win over Carolina. There were no steal attempts against him.
  8. C Brian Navarreto went 0-for-4, but nobody attempted to steal against him as Carolina won the opening game of its playoff semifinal series 4-2 over Ponce on Tuesday.
  9. On New Year's Eve, Brisbane won their series finale over Sydney 3-1 in extra innings. Box score. Gardner was a key contributor once again: RHP Sam Gardner - 1.2 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 0 BB, 1 K (0.00 ERA) 1B Tayden Hall - 1-for-4, run scored (.313 AVG) With a record of 17-11, Brisbane sits one game behind first place Adelaide and a half game ahead of third place Perth, with about 12 games remaining on the season.
  10. Brisbane split yet another doubleheader this morning, dropping the opener to Sydney 2-1 and winning the second game behind LHP Brian Fitzpatrick’s bounce back performance 6-2. - Fitzpatrick (Win) - 5 IP, 0 R, 3 H, 1 BB, 3 Ks - 1B Tayden Hall - combined 4-for-7 (all singles, though benefitting from some poor defense), walk, 2 RBIs Here are some video highlights from the victory - easy to spot the 6'7" southpaw Fitzpatrick within the clips:
  11. On Thursday, C Brian Navarreto smacked the tie-breaking double in the top of the 10th inning as Carolina defeated RA12 4-3: - Navarreto - 2-for-5, double, RBI, run - also threw out the only attempted basestealer
  12. 1B Tayden Hall has really turned things around after a slow start, while RHP Sam Gardner remains unhittable. On Friday, Brisbane defeated Sydney 9-7. Box score. - Hall - 2-for-3, double, 2 walks, RBI (.294 AVG) - Gardner - 1 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 0 BB, 2 Ks (0.00 ERA) Catch Hall’s (jersey #48) double and one of Gardner’s (jersey #21) Ks in the video highlights.
  13. C Brian Navarreto went 1-for-4 on Wednesday, as Carolina lost 3-1 to Mayagüez. Nobody attempted to steal against him.
  14. C Brian Navarreto went 0-for-3 as Carolina dropped its Tuesday game 9-5 to Ponce. Nobody tried to steal against him. The Puerto Rican league’s regular season will end on December 30th, then Carolina will face Ponce or Caguas in a playoff semifinal in early January.
  15. C Brian Navaretto’s RBI double in the top of the 8th inning was the game-winning hit as Carolina defeated Ponce 3-2. Saturday summary: - Navarreto - 1-for-3, double, walk, RBI, run; no steal attempts against him - RHP Christian Mejias - 1 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 0 BB, 0 Ks - in Aragua’s 10-4 loss to Margarita - SS Gregory Barrios - played the 9th inning for Aragua, but didn’t bat
  16. Brisbane and Melbourne split their doubleheader for the second straight day, with Brisbane taking the opener 3-2 (highlights above) and Melbourne winning the latter game 11-6. 1B Tayden Hall has his average up to .280: 2-for-6 day with a walk and run scored RHP Sam Gardner kept his ERA at 0.00 in earning the win: 2.1 IP, 0 R, 2 H, 1 BB, 5 Ks RHP Brian Fitzpatrick was roughed up in his start (ERA now 4.01): 3.2 IP, 5 R, 3 H, 2 BB, 5 Ks It's a log-jam atop the standings, with Brisbane among four teams at 14-9, 14-10 or 13-10.
  17. RHP Sam Gardner (#21 in yellow) chalked up another 5 Ks today, earning the win in Brisbane’s come-from-behind 3-2 victory over Melbourne.
  18. In yesterday’s doubleheader, 1B Tayden Hall combined to go 2-for-6 with a double and 2 RBIs. Brisbane took the opener 9-4, then dropped the second game to Melbourne 9-1. The clubs have another doubleheader today. All of these are 7-inning games.
  19. That’s gotta feel awesome! Can’t match THAT ranking. Go CF-Rod!!
  20. Pretty fun Winter League debut for 19-year old INF Gregory Barrios, who entered as a pinch (ghost) runner for Aragua in the 11th inning, immediately scoring the game-tying run from second base on a single. Aragua won 10-9 over Zulia. Others in action: - RHP Christian Mejias - 0 IP, 3 R, 4 H, 0 BB, 0 Ks - in Aragua’s win - C Brian Navarreto - 1-for-2, walk, HBP; picked off one runner and nobody tried to steal on him - in Carolina’s 3-2 come-from-behind win over Santurce. However, he exited to start the 9th inning, so we’ll have to watch his health status
  21. UT Hernan Perez signs minor league deal with Reds
  22. Isn’t 1 WAR worth like $6 million, which would mean that Houser and Taylor are underpaid Major Leaguers? I feel cheated.
  23. Not Gary Sanchez? But seriously, this is about what most of us probably expected: plus bat (most years), negative defense that we think we can fix. Of course, if the bat doesn’t return to 2021-22 form or we can’t improve his defense, we’ll be back in the market in March or April. I’m guessing we’ll also sign another AAA-level catcher for injury depth.
  24. On Tuesday, RHP Christian Mejias contributed to Aragua's 7-3 victory over La Guaira: 1 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 0 BB, 1 K. Tigres de Aragua presently sits in 5th place in the 8-team league in Venezuela, 1.5 games out of a playoff spot with 7 games remaining.
  25. That seems cheap for a good bat. I guess nobody really buys that Murphy’s defense can be improved. This may mean the Giants will move on from former ranked prospect RHH Joey Bart (no options remaining). Or maybe LHH Blake Sabol (3 options) is available.
