Is there a date that the organization announces minor league rosters (placement). I am really excited to see where guys are placed this year especially most of our younger talent.

Brewers Still In the Market For Rotation Depth?
jay87shot replied to wiguy94's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
Could be a lot of things, he probably has a couple teams interesting in a 1 year + option deal and Boris is just trying to max out the amount. -
What about the idea of sending Joey Ortiz to AAA, if I remember correctly he doesn't need a ton of time in AAA to gain an extra year of control. If Sal is going to play alot of 3rd and Turang is the 2B starter it makes a lot of sense to have Ortiz in AAA and Andruw in the bigs for the 1st month. I am not a huge fan of arbitration manipulation but as a small market team it is something we need to do when it makes sense.

I think Miley starts on the DL but still makes his start as the 5th starter. Gasser starts in AAA but after like 2 starts gets called up as the 6th starter. Wilson and Ross in the bullpen gives us 2 long men at least to start the year. Ashby in AAA can get right and help out early in the year in the pen or rotation. Peralta can hopefully go 30 starts with 180 innings, Then Rae, Junis, and Miley give us 75 starts combined at around 400 innings that leave 55-60 starts for our younger starters.

Lorenzen sign for 4.5 million with the Rangers today. I was against signing another starter but at 4.5 that seems like highway robbery. If that is all it will take to get Clevinger I would be all in.
-
Wow, are the Reds having injury/roids issues. Marte 80 games, sounds like Mclain has a potential serious injury, TJ Friedl is hurt, and top prospect Edwin Arroyo is going to have shoulder surgury.
-
This is for guys around the league who get released/dfa'd/opt out. Maybe just some of our own being out of the org. or sent down. We have been masterful finding players at this time of year like Strikland, Megill, etc.. It might be a bit different with our depth this year.

Brewers Still In the Market For Rotation Depth?

I was under the impression Cleavinger was throwing 90-92. Interesting to see he was at 94 average last year, that definitely moves me a bit closer to the sign him side. I still think, I would like to see Hall, Gasser, and Ashby (after some AAA) get a legit shot before signing a vet. -
I would guess Chourio plays CF to start the year, maybe he plays some left when Yeli DH. It probably depends on how much 3B Sal plays as well. I would guess the OF alignment will be very fluid to give everyone maximum reps, it is nice to have 4 young OF who can play all 3 spots well. I still think Perkins to a team like SD makes a lot of sense, he is just so blocked and played very well for us. Roller and Hicklen look like fine emergency guys if we get 2 or 3 OF injuries and we still have Miller and Bauer who can play some OF as well.
-
I agree they should have probably checked him in September. However I have a hard time believing that this is the same injury. In the past 6 months of training he would have had pain and gotten more checkups/ specialized care. At some point in those 6 months his back would hurt from throwing programs or lifting weights. I guess it is possible something could have been related to September but in my experience most of the top athletes train pretty hard in the offseason.

The Braves sent Bryce Elder down to AAA. He was great the 1st half last year (not good 2nd) and is young and controllable. He only throws like 90 so I doubt he would have a extremely high value. The Braves are pretty stacked but he could be an interesting trade option, the do have Ynoa, Smith-Shawver, Waldrop, Dodd among others as depth. Maybe just a couple prospects or a decent reliever like Peguaro and a throw in piece.
-
The club clearly believes in him if we have send Small and Andrews packing before him. The problem is he may be 9th or 10th on the bullpen depth

Camp Storylines: Which Dudes Are Out Of Options?
jay87shot replied to Jason Wang's topic in Brewer Fanatic Front Page News
Is Vieira out of options as well, I would really like to hang on to him but think he will get squeezed out. Maybe we get lucky and he passes through waivers to AAA. -
Collins is super interesting, I like Carlos Rodriguez but am kind of done waiting on any sort of power. O'Rae might be a guy I am rooting for harder than anyone (is he a future 2B or CF or both). I would say Luis Lara is still underrated even as a top 10 in the org.. I want to see him up his 2B count this year really more than HR. If he can hit 30 2B and keep K's done he is going to be a Frelick style prospect soon.
-
I don't think we need career years from extras. Think how bad Rowdy, Winker, Weimer, Turang, Anderson, Voit, and others were last year. We just need our young guys to improve to be average with the bat. We probably need a starter to come out of nowhere to be a top of the rotation starter. The big thing that will determine if we are competitive is our bullpen. If our bullpen stays with 5 or so guys with era's under 3 and a couple around 2, we will be in it.
-
I'd say about equal to O's depending on where you fall on Hall. But I agree our deal I'd better because Burnes makes a decent amount more than Cease this year.
-
I'd be happy with Baker, we missed on Bobby Wagner, and Josey Jewell as well. My guess is we draft someone and/or maybe add a vet after the next cut dates.
-
I know Devin White was bad last year but 1/7.5 seems like a steal. Him and Quay could have been epic.
-
I like committe idea to start. Payamps takes the close 1 run games, Megill/Uribe for 2 and 3. Milner gets a couple when a bunch of lefties are up and he hasn't pitched earlier.

Payamps closes if Williams is out, Uribe/Megill/Peguero as 7/8 and if any get in a grove take over for Payamps at some point mid-season. I am not worried about Williams at this point, we can withstand him being gone for a bit with our bullpen depth. As long as it isn't something major he will keep his trade value as long as the airbender is in tact.
-
Rae and Junis looked good there last starts, I think at this point they are near locks. That leaves Ashby, Hall, Ross, Bryce Wilson, Gasser, maybe Bryan Hudson (seems to be getting stretched out) as the next options. I think the team really wants Hall to get a rotation spot after the big trade. Wilson and Hudson have been good in spring, I doubt Hudson makes the opening day roster. A 6 man, piggyback situation, or opener all make sense for now. Peralta, Miley, Rae, Junis, Hall is fine by be, since we have the upside youth as the season goes on. I would rather just save the money and if we are in contention at the deadline trade for a young controllable top of the rotation arm or even a expiring vet like Beiber.
-
Just scratch of Davis and Adams. If we could get 2 of SF good pitching prospects I'd be ok, not sure how Luciano has been this Spring for them.
-
We have Black, Ortiz, Turang, Minesario, and Sal as 2B/3B options (Owen Miller, Vinny Capra maybe) there are enough quality young guys that we should find 2 decent options. We know Ortiz and Turang will be fine defensively, but I agree that offense could be a problem. By the time each of those guys get a shot, Wilken could be ready around mid-season depending on how aggressive we are with him. I am not worried about DH, for me Sanchez and Yeli platoon the DH with Conreras, Hoskins, and a 4th OF getting days here and there. Offensively not a problem unless Sanchez bat revert back a few years. If the Dodgers want Willy, Miguel Vargas would seem like the best trade target. He is mostly blocked in LA and would fit in perfectly with his ability to play 3B, 2B, 1B and LF. There is plenty of upside in his bat after a strange season last year with injuries. We could take back Miguel Rojas contract as well if need be.
-
Agree, there should be lots of takers on a bat like Davis. Especially if he doesn't cost much, he can play 3B, 1B. and LF.
-
Any chance Wes Clarke makes a push for that last bench spot or would it be better to just give him AAA playing time. Brewer Hicklen has been impressive to, nice power/speed combo find.
