Mehring in Arizona, 2015 - Day 3 Men at Work By Chris Mehring / Wisconsin Timber Rattlers A great read that ends with -- To put Saturday's performance in perspective: There's a lot to like. There's a lot of work to do. *** Rattler Radio Blog: Photos from Spring Training – March 21, 2015

Chris Mehring will have more formal updates during the overnight, but you can read all his Timber Rattler Saturday game tweets on his current timeline.

Via Craig Goldstein -- "Here is Gilbert Lara, professional large human, recipient of $3.2M, and owner of a weird swing"

On Saturday afternoon, the @BrewersPD accounttweeted updates based on the Friday box scores linked above. We'll just post a reminder like this when they do for your reminder to click.

Various updates we've learned and confirmed -- RHP Tommy Toledo is now, as he describes on his Twitter byline, a "former pitcher for the Milwaukee Brewers organization", as the 26-year-old 2011 11th round pick out of the University of Florida, has retired (career numbers). Toledo was used exclusively out of the bullpen after his rookie campaign in Helena, and topped out with Huntsville last year. He was dropped from the playoff roster for the Stars. As his stat lines show, it was a solid four-year run for one of the great minor league monikers, and we wish him well. Jason Arndt had published a nice September 2013 write-up on Toledo here. *** There is another retirement to report as RHP Taylor Stark (Baseball Reference), the Brewers 30th round pick last June, has also left the game. Stark had a rough go of things statistically in eight relief appearances with the Maryvale Rookie Club. Stark is 23 and will now put his Delta State (MS) education to use, good luck to him as well. *** 21-year-old Yunior Santana (career numbers) has been an outfielder in the Brewers' system for three years (two in the Dominican Summer League, one stateside in Maryvale). Coming off a .495 OPS last summer (but with 16 steals in 19 attempts), the decision has been made to convert Santana to a pitcher, and that transition looks like it will begin back in the Dominican Republic this summer. *** Two Domincan natives have been placed on the Brewers' restricted list for "failure to report". They are: Just-turned 24-year-old Leudi Otano, who has quite the diverse defensive history (Baseball Reference), after three seasons in the DSL and one in Maryvale. 23-year-old RHP Felix Paulino (Baseball Reference), who actually was a "no-show" last spring but we're just learning of the reason for his formal absence now. Paulino pitched two DSL summers, and was supposed to be among the 2014 stateside debuts.

Thanks to @BrewersPD and then via the Shuckers' Chris Harris, here are Friday's four boxscores. *** Saturday's rosters and Sunday's projected pitchers

Minor League Games Begin in Arizona, plus News & Notes -- Latest from Chris' Shuck Dynasty Blog

Listen to Ron Roenicke discuss Jason Rogers at the tail end of his conversation with the media here (go to the 41:45 minute mark). His words are dripping with the implication that he's not a 3rd baseman, he says repeatedly "he's a nice offensive player", and he even mentions that Rogers is a likely trade piece (in so many words...).

We will link to any updates provided by the Brewers Player Development Staff in this thread. The daily links will include lineups and listed next day's starters. Friday vs. Giants' farmhands After a week or two, we'll get a sense of any players who haven't appeared on a squad yet (injury concerns). We'll also link to any postgame info the PD provides. Please remember that the playing level does not include where a player may end up. Last year 31 farmhands were released in the days before the regular season. Hopefully as many guys as possible get to keep their dreams alive this spring. Good luck to all...
