  1. On-base machine Carlos D. Rodriguez on Thursday: 4-for-5, 2 RBIs, SB - in Magallanes' 10-7 victory over Aragua And I think this interview means he's being called back state-side this weekend, after which we'd have almost nobody playing in the main winter leagues (I suspect Brian Navarreto is nursing a minor injury and Edwin Jimenez has been shut down for the winter, but I'm just guessing)
  2. Frelick would probably return the best haul, no?
  3. Carlos D. Rodriguez continues to produce in Venezuela. Is he following in the footsteps laid by Andruw Monasterio last offseason? Wednesday performances: CF Carlos D. Rodriguez - 2-for-4, walk, RBI, SB, run - in Magallanes' 4-3 loss to Caracas 3B Yonny Hernandez - 0-for-3 - in Aragua's 5-4 loss to Margarita
  4. 23-year old undrafted C Alejandro Rodriguez saw his first Winter League game action on Tuesday: CF Carlos D. Rodriguez - 1-for-4, walk, SB, run - in Magallanes' 5-2 victory over Aragua RHP Christian Mejias - 1.1 IP, 2 R (1 ER), 1 H, 0 BB, 0 Ks - in Aragua's defeat C Brian Navaretto - 1-for-4; threw out 1 of 2 basestealers - in Carolina's 5-4 extra inning win over Ponce. He exited the game after a sacrifice bunt in the top of the 10th inning PH/C Alejandro Rodriguez - 0-0, walk, run - in Caguas' 14-3 win over RA12 - played one inning behind the plate
  5. Decent Sunday production: - CF Carlos D. Rodriguez - 3-for-8, HR, double, RBI, SB - but Magallanes was swept by Anzoategui in a doubleheader - DH Brian Navarreto - 1-for-2, 2 walks, 2 RBIs - in Carolina’s 11-0 victory over Ponce
  6. Just one Brewer played on Saturday: - C Brian Navarreto - 1-for-4, double, 2 RBIs; also threw out 1 of 2 basestealers - in Carolina’s 3-1 win over Mayaguez
  7. Thanks, but I'm not convinced he's burned an option yet. MLB website says, "Once an optioned player has spent at least 20 days in the Minors in a given season, he loses one of his options."
  8. Jimenez is rounding back into form. Friday performances: - RHP Edwin Jimenez - 4 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 2 BB, 1 K - but Zulia lost 4-2 to Margarita - CF Carlos D. Rodriguez - 2-for-5, walk, 2 runs - in Magallanes’ 12-7 win over La Guaira - C Brian Navarreto - 0-for-5; allowed one stolen base - yet Carolina won 6-3 over RA12
  9. Unfortunately, it probably is time to trade Burnes. Logic-1: If you have great defense, do you really need to invest in great pitching? Logic-2: Teams are over-paying for starting pitching, so take advantage. Logic-3: Heaven-forbid he follows Woodruff into serious injury territory. Time to reluctantly cash in for 2 MLB players and 2 decent prospects, then watch Burnes win his second Cy Young Award elsewhere.
  10. Close games for Brisbane Thursday (5-4 walk-off win) and Friday (1-0 defeat): 1B Tayden Hall - 2-for-7, double, walk RHP Sam Gardner - 2 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 1 BB, 6 Ks Gardner now has an other-worldly 12 Ks in 4 innings pitched
  11. Thanksgiving Day Action: RHP Christian Mejias - 2 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 0 BB, 4 Ks - earned the Win in Aragua's 8-1 victory over Magallanes CF Carlos D. Rodriguez - 0-for-4 for Magallanes
  12. CDR came through again on Wednesday: - CF Carlos D. Rodriguez- 2-for-4, walk, sac fly, 3 RBIs, 1 run - in Magallanes’ 11-6 victory over Zulia - C Brian Navarreto - 0-for-5; also gave him up 2 SBs - in Carolina’s 5-2 loss to Mayaguez - PH/2B Yonny Hernandez - hit-by-pitch in one plate appearance in Aragua's 13-3 win over Caracas
  13. They also have James Meeker as a LHP. 😁 Wiemer appears to have been optioned for only 15 days (Sep 17 - Oct 2), so I also believe he has 3 options left, unless there’s more to the rule.
  14. To me, Wiemer’s a potential 30HR / 30SB / 170K guy with a terrific arm for right field. The challenge is that it may take him 2-3 years for his bat to come around at the MLB level. I’d earlier estimated that we’ll option him to AAA for about 74 days in 2024 for service time manipulation…er…to let him work on improving his overall hitting. But if we can get another insane Ruiz-for-Contreras type deal, we’ll have to take it.
  15. CDR kept rolling on Tuesday: - CF Carlos D. Rodriguez - 2-for-4, double, 2 walks, 3 runs - in Magallanes’ back-and-forth 12-11 loss to Aragua - INF Yonny Hernandez - pinch ran, stole a base for Aragua - C Brian Navarreto - 0-for-3, walk; also threw out 2 runners - in Carolina’s 2-1 loss to Caguas
  16. I feel like the only person who believes a Donaldson reunion may happen. Cheap flier looking for homers without wrecking defense. Might depend on whether Murphy believes in his ability to contribute and not screw up clubhouse chemistry. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2023/11/josh-donaldson-open-to-playing-another-season.html
  17. Generally positive Sunday performances: - CF Carlos D. Rodriguez - 2-for-6, double, 2 walks, 2 runs - in Magallanes’ doubleheader defeat to Lara - C Brian Navarreto - 2-for-6, double, 2 RBIs; threw out 1-of-2 basestealers - in Carolina’s exciting 10-5, 12-inning win over Santurce - RHP Christian Mejias - 2 IP, 2 R, 3 H, 0 BB, 0 Ks - in Aragua’s 10-7 victory over Zulia
  18. Brisbane got off the schneid with a 3-1 win this morning over Adelaide. 1B Tayden Hall went 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored. Based on their schedule, the next game will be on Thursday morning.
  19. More terrific performances on Saturday: - CF Jackson Chourio - 1-for-3, walk, run in Zulia’s 3-1 win over Aragua - CF Carlos D. Rodriguez - 2-for-4, 2 doubles, walk, RBI, run - in Magallanes’ thrilling 11-10 victory over La Guaira - C Brian Navaretto - 1-for-4, double, 2 RBIs - in Carolina’s 4-2 win over RA12
  20. RHP Miguel Segura was signed as a 17-year old out of Venezuela in July 2019, but only debuted in July 2021 after the Covid wipeout. Just 18 innings (1.50 ERA, 25 Ks) in the Dominican Summer League were enough for the Brewers to bring him stateside to Arizona the next month, where he continued to excel: 1.86 ERA in 19.1 IP with 22 Ks. The 2022 season was a bit rougher, taking on the Low-A Carolina challenge over 22 games (10 starts): 4.38 ERA, 1.62 WHIP, 7.8 K/9. Unfortunately, Miguel was injured in late August 2022, was apparently injured again in 2023 Minor League Spring Training, then proceeded to miss the entire 2023 season. We hope that 21-year old Miguel Segura is fully healthy now and ready to take on his next opportunity.
  21. Solid Friday night for Brewers in Latin America. In addition to Chourio (see above): - RHP Edwin Jimenez - 3.2 IP, 0 R, 4 H, 1 BB, 1 K - in Aguilas’ win - DH Brian Navarreto returned after missing a few games - 2-for-3, double, walk, RBI - in Carolina’s 4-1 victory over Santurce
  22. On Friday, Tayden Hall played 1B and hit clean-up, going 1-for-3 with a double and a walk. However, Brisbane was blasted 12-1 by Adelaide. Better luck next game!
  23. I noted the intriguing 2023 AAA numbers as well, but just had a look. Shoot. That was at the start of the season, before the MLB time. He ended 2023 with 100 MLB PAs in Aug/Sep: 8 BB / 41 Ks - .154 AVG / .220 OBP / .275 SLG. Oh man...
  24. We must really believe that Bauers is about to get better. I’m guessing this also pushes us closer to trading Mitchell or Perkins.
  25. Opening Day lineup for Brisbane against Adelaide:
