    We have two recent Minor League free agent signings - 17 yo Dominican RHP Johan Zapata (listed 5'11" and 160 lbs) and 18 yo Venezuelan Lefty OF Brian Sanchez (listed 6'3" and 170 lbs) . Both players have been assigned to the DSL Brewers 1. Hopefully, we'll hear and observe good things in those summertime DSL box scores!

    Here's a quick view for those more visually inclined: Mudcats Timber Rattlers Shuckers Sounds

    Very very cool to see the Shuckers add so many faces to their staff for 2023! Will Schierholz heads up to Double-A to work with the Shuckers' pitching staff after a fantastic first season of work in Wisconsin in 2022. He's joined by former Rattler's hitting coach Nick Stanley (bench coach in 2023), 2022 ACL Blue pitching coach Josh Spence (bullpen coach in 2023), and Christian Correa who will get his very first season in the affiliated coaching ranks after a championship season playing in the American Association (just a notch below the Atlantic League in terms of competition). I'm excite!

    Good news here in early February: 1B Jon Singleton has re-signed a Minor League contract with an invite to Spring Training. He will be starting his 2023 season (most likely) with the Nashville Sounds. This is fantastic! Also in that tweet thread is the update that C Jeferson Quero has been invited to Spring Training. The rise and recognition in the organization continues its lofty trajectory - rightfully so. Lastly, OF Antony Gomez was assigned to the DSL Brewers 1.

    So, when we reflect back to when broke he broke his hand in such timely fashion back in 2021 do we call that punch a 'screwwall'? Asking for a friend (who is also a dad).

    Hear ye, Hear ye. Good stuff! Love the arm discourse - an extremely important but oft overlooked quality of a player. Though his arm is probably a notch below Adames (naked eye observations from Sounds games), Turang indeed benefits from a solid ability to toss the white rat with decent velocity. I continue to hope last year's impressive showing from Cam Devanney was just the beginnings of what could be a long career. That is the best infield arm in the system - yes, better than Eduardo Garcia. An absolute cannon that is so fun to watch. He's knocking on the door at Nashville and I hope he can open it and show his wares.

    'MLB the Show 2022' agrees with you @Matthew Trueblood. However, they add a real wrinky dinky to the whole schtick: he throws a Screwball and a Change. Whoa nelly! It's almost too hot to handle! Considering I recently lost to the Angels, 4 games to 1, in the World Serious (super likely) they're now adding further intrigue to my baseball soup: I am currently facing the Philadelphia Phillies in an early 2023 season home series where recently acquired Brewer Minor League Free Agent, INF Josh VanMeter (Spring Training invite - he'll play for the Sounds), is their starting 3B. It's all so gossipy and unfathomably cutting edge. All this is to say: Welcome aboard! We're happy to have you.

    Let's make a run for that coveted ACL championship babayyyyy! From a competitive standpoint, this will make a difference - there were several times last season we brought up the: "Man, if we combined the talent we'd probably be in the top 3 overall." But, as @CheeseheadInQC says above, this will impact the overall opportunities for the increasing wealth of talent we are seeing in the lowest levels of Brewers ball. My general thinking, given this development, is they might be prioritizing only the most advanced of DSL players - limiting overall opportunities but increasing validating criteria and further emphasizing the importance of the facilities and staffs 'South of the Border', so to speak - and, it also may hint at their continued emphasis on their juggernaut work in the Indy Ball circuits. Perhaps, continuing to use the ACL as a means of incubating faster promotions for these players and new draftees. I was quite impressed by the output I saw last season (on paper) from both the Indy signings and the 2022 draftees.

    Brewers and Carolina Mudcats staff promotion connection: Good luck, Daniel!

    Welcome back, OF Monte Harrison! The Brewers have officially signed Harrison to a Minor League contract with an invite to Spring Training. He was assigned to the Nashville Sounds where he will help add depth to an already talent-laden pool of young outfield prospects. After spending 2021 with Jacksonville and the Jumbo Shrimp in the International League, Harrison spent last season in the Angels organization and the PCL with their Triple-A affiliate in Salt Lake. He did grab some cups of coffee with the Big Club in late June into July where he was given a grand total of 14 AB's. Regardless, I'm excited to see Harrison back with the organization!

    Add Skye Bolt to the treasure trove.
  12. Joseph Zarr
    OF Skye Bolt and familiar face RHP Colin Rea have been invited to Spring Training on Minor League contract deals: More details HERE
  13. Joseph Zarr
    The Brewers have officially released 1B Jon Singleton. He had been designated for assignment to Nashville when INF Brian Anderson signed with the club as a FA. More details here: Big Jon Takes His Talents Elsewhere in 2023
  14. Joseph Zarr
    Following up: Shears will begin his affiliated season at High-A Wisconsin. A short journey North for the fireballer.
  15. Joseph Zarr
    Just a brief and random late January reminder: RHP Dylan File will be playing in the KBO this year (season begins April 1st). He will take his talents to the Seoul where he'll play for the Doosan Bears.
  16. Joseph Zarr
    Just following up here, Fernández was officially assigned to the Nashville Sounds today (1/24/2023).
  17. Joseph Zarr
    Ahhhhhhh that sweet and sour taste of seeing beloved prospects fade into the wispy halls of baseball's Honorable Mentions. I can only hope this current round of blue chipper can find more success. As a kiddo, I fondly recall being enthralled when hearing Robidoux's name on the radio. He would have made a fine opening act for a country headliner at Alpine Valley.

    Don't know where to put this but the Brewers Dominican Training Academy is nearing completion:
  19. Joseph Zarr
    RHP Moises Gomez has been activated by the ACL Brewers Blue. It would appear the talented hurler is officially coming out of his brief affiliated retirement.

    I'm seeing a subtle trend in this class of players. Subtle. But, it's there.
  22. Joseph Zarr
    Closing this loop (for now): Sparks was officially assigned to the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers to start his affiliated season.
  23. Joseph Zarr
    Another hard-throwing reliever into the mix with a Minor League deal (as noted by @Ron Robinsons Beard HERE - for greater conversation please visit that thread): Brazilian born Thyago Vieira signed ** Updated to Add: Vieira has officially been assigned to the Nashville Sounds to start his 2023 affiliated season.
  24. Joseph Zarr
    Closing the loop from RHP Trevor Kelley's outright assignment to Nashville: - Kelly cleared waivers and rejected the assignment and has opted to test the Minor League free agency waters. More in depth coverage of Kelley's ongoing efforts to find success at the MLB level HERE

    This is a very cool development for current and former Milkmen players. A realistic ability to turn an eye toward the coaching ranks.
