  1. INF Andruw Monasterio was finally back in action for Caribes after sorting out a visa issue:
  2. Jackson Chourio hit 12 homers in the derby semifinal, but only managed 6 in dropping the finale to Eugenio Suarez.
  3. Since Hope can drive a man insane, I can’t mentally process having over $27 million to spend on the likes of Bieber, Bohm and Santana. Heck, I’d be thrilled with just Bohm and Santana. Make it happen! After letting go respectable pitchers like Rea, Milner, Wilson, Shane Smith (yeah, I’m resigned to his selection on Dec 11), Paredes, Herget, Zastrzyny, White, Meeker, etc., then seeing the rich deals just signed by Montas and Boyd, I’m not expecting anything on the pitching front.
  4. The various Winter Leagues keep rolling along, with Hedbert Perez still putting up solid numbers: Venezuelan League: INF Andruw Monasterio (still idle while renewing US visa) - Caribes de Anzoategui - .884 OPS in 133 PAs, 15 RBIs, 7 SBs OF Hedbert Perez - Tiburones de la Guaira - .851 OPS in 82 PAs, 7 RBIs, 1 SB INF Daniel Guilarte - Caribes de Anzoategui - .584 OPS in 43 PAs, 2 RBIs Dominican League: INF Oliver Dunn (didn’t play this week) - Gigantes del Cibao - .322 OPS in 26 PAs, 1 RBI OF Bladimir Restituyo - Aguilas Cibaenas - .267 OPS in 16 PAs Puerto Rico: RHP Justin Yeager - Indios de Mayaguez - 9.0 IP, 4 R, 7 H, 6 BB, 12 K, 4 Saves C Ramon Rodriguez - Senadores de San Juan - 1.000 OPS in 22 PAs, 1 RBI, 1 SB C Victor Torres - Senadores de San Juan - .000 OPS in 3 PAs, 1 RBI Mexico: LHP Jesus Broca - Algodoneros de Guasave – 12.2 IP, 6 R (4 ER), 10 H, 10 BB, 10 Ks
  5. That Brewers team had easily the best record in the Majors that year, a .653 winning percentage (Tigers second at .605)…in games that Paul Molitor played (77-41). The team was 18-2 when Molitor suffered his first injury of the season in late April and didn’t bother calling up the guy who’d just hit 4 consecutive homers in AAA ball.
  6. We may be hoping to land a left-handed hitting catcher with MLB-caliber defense on a minor league contract or split contract, e.g.: - Reese McGuire - Tucker Barnhart - Omar Narvaez (if we think we can fix him)
  7. What about Langhorne, Seppings, Hostetler, Hodges and Gillis? Hopefully there’s another non-drafted gem in there.
  8. Closing my eyes and hoping for a Winkeresque bounce-back.
  9. Hold back the Great Luke?!? Dem’s fightin’ words! But yeah, I really hope he adapts and doesn’t fizzle out like Corey Ray or Mario Feliciano.
  10. Here’s a stats compilation update of our nine (9) remaining active Winter League players: Venezuelan League: INF Andruw Monasterio (idle while renewing US visa) - Caribes de Anzoategui - .884 OPS in 133 PAs, 15 RBIs, 7 SBs OF Hedbert Perez - Tiburones de la Guaira - .820 OPS in 68 PAs, 5 RBIs, 1 SB INF Daniel Guilarte - Caribes de Anzoategui - .675 OPS in 36 PAs, 2 RBIs Dominican League: INF Oliver Dunn - Gigantes del Cibao - .322 OPS in 26 PAs, 1 RBI OF Bladimir Restituyo - Aguilas Cibaenas - .286 OPS in 15 PAs Puerto Rico: RHP Justin Yeager - Indios de Mayaguez - 7.0 IP, 1 R, 5 H, 4 BB, 9 K, 3 Saves C Ramon Rodriguez - Senadores de San Juan - 1.367 OPS in 12 PAs, 1 RBI, 1 SB C Victor Torres - Senadores de San Juan - .000 OPS in 2 PAs Mexico: LHP Jesus Broca - Algodoneros de Guasave - 10.1 IP, 6 R (4 ER), 9 H, 7 BB, 8 Ks
  11. Thank you for highlighting a pioneer that I'd sadly never heard of. I'm sure this 1971 incident (Carty, Eye Damaged, Charges 3 Policemen Blackjacked Him) contributed to some down years, but he hit the cover off the ball from 1975-1978.
  12. OF Yhoswar Garcia has apparently exited Tibirones de La Guaira. I wonder if it’s he’ll hang around as a reserve. We’ll see.
  13. And RHP Dikember Sanchez has left Tiburones de La Guaira.
  14. - INF Eduardo Garcia was apparently injured, so has departed Cardenales de Lara.
  15. Monasterio is presently absent for a few games, processing his US visa.
  16. Andruw Monasterio - outfielder? “At the end of the Major League season, the Brewers recommended that I play winter ball in Venezuela. As homework, I have to work on my defense, my batting, and my running around the bases. In addition to that, they suggested that I move into the outfield. The more positions I can play reliably, the more important my presence will be in any club. Milwaukee wants me to be a good utility player, and playing in the outfield this season with Caribes gives me that opportunity,” said Monasterio, who has good reasons to play in Venezuela.
  17. C Victor Torres has joined Senadores de San Juan in the Puerto Rican League, joining C Ramon Rodriguez.
  18. Impressive! OF Carlos D. Rodriguez signs Major League Contract with Atlanta!
  19. - Recently-signed OF Bladimir Restituyo is having fun playing Winter Ball in the Dominican Republic for Aguilas Cibaenas
  20. Signed OF Bladimir Restituyo and assigned to AAA Nashville The 23-year old Restituyo was in the Rockies system for 7 years before electing free agency. He spent 2023-24 at AA Hartford, clubbing a surprising 15 homers in 2023 (with an 8 BB / 86 K ratio and .691 OPS), then probably dialed back the all-or-nothing approach in 2024: 5 HRs, 25 BB, 73 Ks - .663 OPS. He averaged 21 SBs in 28.5 attempts while mainly playing CF.
  21. RHP Ranwell Smith released by DSL Brewers-1 OF/LHP Idalberto Santiesteban released by DSL Brewers-1 OF Jeremy George released by DSL Brewers-2
  22. I'm mostly curious whether we push some players, e.g.: KC Hunt, Justin Yeager and Sam Gardner to AAA Cooper Pratt to AA Josh Adamczewski and Marco Dinges to High-A Jose Anderson, Luis Pena and Wande Torres to Low-A We've also still got Tyler Woessner, Tanner Shears, Chase Costello, Daniel Corniel, Anthony Flores (SP - not to be confused with Jesus Flores (RP)), Bryan Rivera (SP - not to be confused with Jesus Rivero (RP)), Ramon Rodriguez, David Garcia and a few others. Hopefully Shears and Woessner will get back to their pre-injury and pre-decline form, respectively. And then I'm assuming some other key prospects won't yet be back from injury: Jimenez, Galindez, Low, Robinson, Cortez, Woodward.
  23. I’m surprised we didn’t protect 24-year old RHP Shane Smith. Throws up to 96 mph and made it to AAA level after just 150.1 career IP. Really effective when shifted to a starting role in AA in 2024: 2.96 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, 9.9 K/9, 3.36 K/BB ratio in 67.0 starting IP.
