Was looking for the most recent Jimmy Nelson-themed thread (it's been a while), so here's a fresh start, rather than just lump this in with the Gallardo trade thread: Reviewing the Brew -- Catching Up With Jimmy Nelson Great job by RTB staff -- they've really upped their game and article quality this offseason. Kudos to Nelson on his interview answers as well, of course.

Catching up from last month, it had been quite a while since the Brewers and Dodgers last dealt -- this trade has been replaced on our tracker -- Dodgers (07/31/09) -- Acquired RHP Claudio Vargas in exchange for C Vinny Rottino with this recent swap: Dodgers (12/18/14) -- Acquired LHP Jarret Martin and OF/IF Matt Long in exchange for C Shawn Zarraga *** Prior to the Yovani Gallardo deal, it also had been some time since the Brewers last made a deal with the Rangers -- in fact, there had only been a longer trade drought with nine organizations. Rangers (03/22/10) -- Brewers acquired INF Ray Olmedo in exchange for C Matt Treanor We have updated the first post in this thread to reflect this trade and the "Last Trade With..." all 29 other organizations.

Brewers Ready for Jimmy Nelson, Who’s Not Quite Ready And really enjoyed this write-up, linked elsewhere on the forum on Tuesday: Reviewing the Brew: Buying Into Jimmy Nelson -
Puerto Rico Box Score Even after his team scored seven runs in the 2nd inning of an 8-2 win, workhorse catcher Martin Maldonado played the entire game behind the plate. Maldonado was 1-for-2 with two walks, scoring a run and driving in one. His Mayaguez team now leads the Puerto Rico Championship Series one game to none. Yadiel Rivera did not play for Santuce, as the Cubs' Javier Baez played SS (0-for-4, three K's).
-
Dominican Box Score The best-of-nine Dominican Championship Series is now tied at two games apiece. Jean Segura's team won 5-3, but it was a quiet night for Jean, this added to the "Segura Tracker" -- Game twenty 01/20 -- Struck out swinging Flied out to right field Popped out to second base Flied out to right field Both Elian Herrera and Luis Jimenez were on the sideline for the losing Estrellas team.

2014-2015 Brewers Off-Season Optimism Thread
Jim Goulart replied to torts's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Going to merge this into the "2014-2015 Brewers Off-Season Optimism Thread", it's the same concept. Until then, this will help: Reviewing the Brew: Buying Into Jimmy Nelson -
Thought this was a good take by Grant Brisbee on the deal.
-
Probably the reason no one has posted a Yoan Moncada thread yet is that the pipedream is such a longshot going against the MLB big boys. Just noting here the Brewers (apparently) have held a private workout with the 19-year-old Cuban. Not familiar? Plenty on the web for you, including this recent entry.

Brewer Minor League Free Agents After the 2014 Season
Jim Goulart replied to Jim Goulart's topic in Brewers Minor League Talk
Josh Prince technically wasn't on the Brewers' minor league free agent list because he was released November 12th, but he tweeted today he signed on with the Tigers' organization. -
As per his audio interview today, Doug Melvin says the reports of the team scouting Santana were false.

Will continue to link relevant audio (Gord Ash now, Doug Melvin later this afternoon) as it's available. Here you go...

AUDIO 1/20 Via 590 The Fan in Toronto: Gord Ash discusses the Gallardo trade One quick take - while mentioning Corey Knebel as a major-league ready piece, Luis Sardinas is not mentioned by name but as a "prospect that will solidify our minor league team(s)". I would tend to agree, it's way to early to hand Sardinas and his two minor league options a guaranteed spot on the Opening Day roster. We'll see what happens in spring training, but it's still going to be tough to keep the Brewers from seeing what they have in Hector Gomez. EDIT: Link Fixed

Venezuela Box Score RHP Tim Dillard struck out the only man he faced, stranding two baserunners -- Magallanes Top of the 7th Mario Lisson strikes out swinging. Frank Diaz doubles (1) on a line drive to left fielder Ali Castillo. Ezequiel Carrera called out on strikes. Carlos Maldonado walks. Pitching Change: Tim Dillard replaces Alex Torres. Elio Castillo strikes out swinging.

Ken Rosenthal: New Brewers IF Luis Sardinas career .691 OPS in minors. Two GMs project him as potential Cesar Izturis type - light-hitting regular at SS.
-
Venezuela Box Score SS Orlando Arcia singled on a ground ball to left in a 1-for-4 night. He scored one run, drove in another. Surely a countryman he looks up to, Alcides Escobar, was playing the same position for his opponent. Arcia's team has already qualified for the Venezuelan League Championship Series, which begins this weekend. So has it's opponent, but the league is continuing with round-robin play this week regardless. Escobar's team did not qualify. And yes, Venezuelan media is abuzz now that two of their own, Arcia and Luis Sardinas, will be teammates and/or competing for status in the Brewers' chain of shortstops. Ironically, Arcia's team defeated the team Sardinas played for this winter, in this game. Sardinas got in 137 at-bats in the Venezuelan Winter Regular Season, and posted a .647 OPS as seen here.

Dominican Box Score Just added this to our "Segura Tracker" Game nineteen 01/19 -- Singled on a sharp ground ball to center field Grounded out to second base Grounded out to shortstop Grounded out to shortstop Doubled on a line drive to left field, driving in a run Jean Segura's team grabbed a much-needed 4-0 win, and thus trail in the best-of-nine Dominican Championship Series two games to one. On the other side of the ledger, Elian Herrera remained sidelined (knee, stitches). Luis Jimenez was 0-for-3, and again flashed the leather at his secondary position of first base. Only a right-handed first baseman makes this play. LINK to VIDEO

Mexico Box Score Great night for RHP Manny Barreda - his Culiacan squad walked off an 11-inning Game Seven series-clinching 9-8 win, and advances to the finals of the Mexican league playoffs. Not only that, but Barreda, who has been with his club from the start, going back to October, contributed in a dominant manner -- Mexicali Top of the 5th Chris Roberson doubles (3) on a line drive to left fielder Maxwell Leon. Walter Ibarra strikes out swinging, catcher Ali Solis to first baseman Joey Meneses. Pitching Change: Jorge Reyes replaces Hector Daniel Rodriguez. Gil Velazquez singles on a ground ball to left fielder Maxwell Leon. Chris Roberson to 3rd. Dave Sappelt homers (2) on a fly ball to left field. Chris Roberson scores. Gil Velazquez scores. Humberto Cota called out on strikes. Luis Juarez walks. Pitching Change: Manny Barreda replaces Jorge Reyes. John Lindsey pops out to catcher Ali Solis. Mexicali Top of the 6th Ricardo Serrano strikes out swinging. Josh Whitesell strikes out swinging. Chris Roberson strikes out swinging. Barreda has two teammates of note - former Brewer Eric Farris has had a fine winter season, and yes, Russell the Muscle was 3-for-5 last night. The best-of-seven finals begins Wednesday.

Minor League Transactions - 2014-2015 Offseason
Jim Goulart replied to Jim Goulart's topic in Brewers Minor League Talk
Good job by all the contributors in the Gallardo trade thread that made its way from the Transaction Rumor Forum to the Major League Forum yesterday. Here's a post with multiple helpful links on the new Brewers, including multiple videos. -
Here are some of the more relevant links for you: VIDEOS: A collection of 22 MiLB highlights of Luis Sardinas MLB.com's Pipeline now lists Corey Knebel as the Brewers' #8 prospect and Marcos Diplan at #17 (Sardinas no longer qualifies); link includes videos Baseball America's take -- As usual, fine analysis MLB.com's article includes audio/video breakdown via Jim Callis Fangraphs - Interesting take on how Gallardo might fare minus Lucroy and Maldonado, more on the Brewers' haul On Twitter, I wondered if the Brewers already had a family connection to Diplan Behold Knebel's curveball --

Dominican Box Score RHP Wirfin Obispo with another perfect inning in a 7-3 win. Gigantes Bottom of the 8th Pitching Change: Wirfin Obispo replaces Luis Garcia. Carlos Peguero strikes out swinging. Jean Segura flies out to right fielder Jordany Valdespin in foul territory. Moises Sierra grounds out softly, third baseman Audy Ciriaco to first baseman Mike Bianucci. Obispo's teammates Luis Jimenez and Elian Herrera (recent stitches on/near knee) were off today. Jean Segura's day -- 0-for-3 with a walk as his team trails 2-0 in the best-of-nine series. He's 1-for-his-last-13 with an HBP and two walks, but is still hitting .313 in 18 games. Flied out to right field in foul territory Walked Struck out swinging Flied out to right field in foul territory The "Segura Tracker"

Puerto Rico Box Score Batting 3rd (!), Martin Maldonado was 0-for-4 at the plate but guided his pitchers to a 1-0 win. No one attempted a stolen base against Maldy. His Mayaguez team now will take on Yadiel Rivera's Santurce club in a best-of-seven for the Puerto Rico League Championship and a spot in the four-team Caribbean World Series to be hosted in their home country (San Juan).
