Also via the beat guys again -- Brewers Asst. GM Gord Ash said RHP Taylor Williams will begin year on DL with elbow irritation. Not considered serious.
Via tweets from the beat guys (Haudricourt, Rosiak and/or McCalvy): Triple-A starters: Jungmann, Cravy, Additon (L), Gagnon, TBD. Perez, Wooten, Kintzler, Goforth, Knebel, Pena, Bradley (L). Will carry eight relievers so one more.
Conversation's already there, so here's the Hunter Morris traded to the Pirates for a PTBNL thread in the Major League forum. Good luck Hunter, and thanks for the contributions... EDIT: Brewers have until September 1st to determine who the PTBNL is.
Prior to today's Hunter Morris deal with Pittsburgh (now detailed with the other 28 teams as well in the initial post in this thread), the prior "Last Deal With..." the Pirates was just to bolster the AAA staff last August: Pirates (08/07/14) -- Acquired RHP Jay Jackson in exchange for cash considerations
Thanks to @BrewersPD and then via the Shuckers' Chris Harris, here are Tuesday's four boxscores. Chris analyzed the AA box score and commented here! Chris also provided snippet news on the other box scores, just slide towards the bottom of his post linked just above. Decent outing for Taylor Jungmann, young RHP David Burkhalter continues to impress. You'll also note that the Biloxi blog site has tracked all the AA stats cumulatively here.
From the Minor League Forum -- If you look at the right sidebar on the KKTV site, you'll see a video link for "Sky Sox Spring Training Report: Meet 'Pockets'" from Sam Farnsworth filmed during his Maryvale visit two weeks ago. "Pockets" is a unique nickname for catcher Adam Weisenburger (MiLB.com page), the 26-year-old who has posted very solid lines as a catcher along his four-year pro journey and is a bit of a forum favorite.

Via @BrewersPD, formal minor league rosters will not be announced by the affiliates until next week. Have to believe it'll be Monday, all the media relations staffs will be busy typing on their Easter Sunday's it seems. Seem to remember a note somewhere indicating that the planes leave for the various destinations this weekend with the players.
Thanks to Brad Krause for pointing out this free Baseball Prospectus article with scouting reports on several Brewer prospects -- Notes from the Field Seven Days and 32 Prospects in the Desert by Al Skorupa
AUDIO 3/30: From Monday night, the Hot Stove Weekly Show via 1057 FM WSSP Tim and Sparky discuss Brewers organization being valued at $875 Million, bullpen situation as camp comes to a close, Also discuss the upcoming 10 year celebration of the Brewers postgame show. *** AUDIO 3/31: Adam McCalvy via the Bill Michaels Show (Prior to all the official roster announcements...)
Indications are that we will begin to see some formal minor league roster announcements as early as Friday 4/3. The formal announcement will come directly from the Timber Rattlers, not the Brewers. All four minor league affiliates will likely send out their press releases within an hour or so of each other once the Brewers have given them the official go-ahead to do so. Opening Night is Thursday 4/9! Feel free to link to any formal notices you see here. Often we learn via farmhand tweets, who has been assigned where, prior to the formal affiliate announcements. We'll link to any of those posts in this thread as they come out. As you might know, we use the "Your 2015" threads to post and link to feature stories that are outside the scope of game activity covered in the Daily Link Report. These threads have become among the most popular for viewing here, and we look forward to kicking them off formally. Please don't speculate here at this time, this is an anxious time for many on the farm, and unfortunately we're also going to learn about several player releases in the next few days, in addition to those players excited about their assignments.

Thanks to @BrewersPD and then via the Shuckers' Chris Harris, here are Monday's four boxscores. Chris analyzed the AA box score and commented here - go Victor Roache! Chris also provided snippet news on the other box scores, just slide towards the bottom of his post linked just above. Nice start Tyler Wagner, rough outing for Kodi Medeiros... You'll also note that the Biloxi blog site has tracked all the AA stats cumulatively here.
Here's your reminder to review the notes from the @BrewersPD twitter timeline regarding Monday's games (we will probably get box score access later today via the Shuckers).
