  1. Nice writeup and summary at BrewCrewBall by Noah.
  2. Joel Sherman tweets that OF Jeremy Hermida, recently re-signed by the Crew to a 2015 minor league deal, could be on his way to Japan. Brewers could negotiate a nominal buyout, but can't imagine they would stand completely in his way of leaving. The 30-year-old did play in 108 games for Nashville last year, so the Brewers would need to budget those at-bats from within the system, or sign another veteran for that spot. It is a loss, as outside of Sean Halton, among non 40-man roster players, only Josh Fellhauer and Kentrail Davis have seen prior time at the AAA level. If Logan Schafer isn't the 5th big league OF, he'd be at Colorado Springs. D'Vontrey Richardson's 2014 AA OPS of .648 was underwhelming. Kyle Wren could be moved up to AAA if the entire wave of young 2014 Brevard OF's need AB's in Biloxi. So the Brewers have work to do on the minor league free agent market in terms of the AAA outfield, whether Hermida leaves or not.
  3. 2015 ZiPS Projections – Milwaukee Brewers Have at it, need time to review and digest...
  4. Tweet -- Sources: #Brewers open to moving Parra, who projects to $6.4M in final year of arb, per @mlbtraderumors. Could be option for Melky losers. *** Yes, please, not only for the money free-up, but because Roenicke will play Parra over Davis against way too many RHP's. Protect Ron from himself, Doug.
  5. Dominican Box Score Hector Gomez, playing third base, doubled and walked (run, RBI) in his team's 7-3 win.
  6. Dominican Box Score 1B Hunter Morris 0-for-3 in a 3-1 loss. He's 5-for-22 (.227, all singles, no walks, seven K's).
  7. Dominican Box Score With an 0-for-5 night dropping his average to .221, 3B Luis Jimenez remains in a horrendous slump, 6-for-44 (.136, three walks in that span). Teammate Elian Herrera was 1-for-5 as the DH in his team's 3-2 11-inning loss and this happened, opposite of good -- Estrellas Top of the 3rd Elian Herrera singles on a line drive to center fielder Jeremias Pineda. Junior Lake walks. Elian Herrera to 2nd. Luis Jimenez grounds into a double play, second baseman Leury Garcia to shortstop Ketel Marte to first baseman Oscar Tejeda. Elian Herrera to 3rd. Junior Lake out at 2nd. With Jordany Valdespin batting, Webster Rivas picks off Elian Herrera at 3rd on throw to Hanser Alberto.
  8. He hasn't been in Venezuela for weeks, but Tim Dillard's recent recollections of the game atmosphere there are enlightening. *** Venezuela Box Score SS Orlando Arcia 0-for-4 with three K's. Arcia is now just 7-for-40 (all singles) in his last ten games, 670 total AB's in 2014. *** This tweet (translated) from a Venezuela journalist seems to indicate the Caribes management knows they will need to hold Arcia back to have the Brewers allow to keep him active -- "Continuing what he said the idea is to prevent #Brewers decide to stop the prospect Arcia but give it time." Pedro Mena, sports manager #Caribes, applauds the idea of rest for two days straight to Orlando Arcia ... Mena: "Orlando (Arcia) has played too much, remember that it is an important prospect and we can send stop" ... Mena: "We do not want Orlando plays longer than necessary, and the Mariners stopped us on (RHP Mayckol) Guaipe. Can you imagine if we call for us to stop at Arcia?" ...
  9. Mexico Box Score RHP Manny Barreda closed out an 8-0 win -- Mazatlan Top of the 9th Pitching Change: Manny Barreda replaces Arturo Barradas. Ricardo Alvarez singles on a ground ball to left fielder Ronnier Mustelier. Doug Clark grounds into a double play, second baseman Oscar Robles to shortstop Ramiro Pena to first baseman Mario Valdez. Ricardo Alvarez out at 2nd. Paul Leon flies out to center fielder Daniel Hinojosa.
  10. Via Boston Globe's Nick Cafardo -- Allen Craig, OF, Red Sox — Three evaluators told me that Craig will have a market if the Red Sox decide to deal him. The Marlins and Brewers have been interested. One evaluator told me there’s no way Craig is done as a premier hitter at age 30, and that foot injuries derailed his season. The evaluator said the Red Sox should be careful on this one and stick to their original evaluation of him — a clutch, impact, professional bat when he’s right. No thanks, please.
  11. Here are your winter regular season end dates -- Mexico - 12/29 Domincian Republic - 12/21 Venezuela - 12/30 Puerto Rico - 12/30 But remember, then you have these crazy round-robin style tournament postseasons that most, but not all, of the teams qualify for. For instance, the postseason in Puerto Rico doesn't end until 1/28, a month after the "regular season" ends. League champs qualify for the Caribbean World Series, during the week of 2/2 through 2/8.
  12. Dominican Box Score Hector Gomez, playing second base (one throwing error), was 1-for-4 in his team's 5-1 loss.
  13. Dominican Box Score Hey, we're liking this Wirfin Obispo dude! Licey Bottom of the 8th Pitching Change: Wirfin Obispo replaces Waldis Joaquin. Todd Cunningham singles on a bunt ground ball to second baseman Gustavo Nunez. Anderson Hernandez called out on strikes. Diory Hernandez flies out to right fielder Jordany Valdespin. Juan Francisco strikes out swinging. Obispo's teammates Elian Herrera (DH) and Luis Jimenez (3B) each were 0-for-4 in their team's 3-0 win, although Herrera did walk once. Jimenez now at .231 (11 walks, ten XBH's) after 117 winter AB's.
  14. Venezuela Box Score SS Orlando Arcia continued an extended slow period with an 0-for-4 night (caught stealing after reaching on a forceout, only the 2nd SB attempt of his winter; 31-for-42 in the 2014 regular season). Arcia's OPS is still impressive at .814, but he's now up to 666 2014 AB's.
  15. Puerto Rico Box Score New 40-man roster SS Yadiel Rivera was the lone Brewers rep in the PWL All-Star Game. Coming in as a sub at third base, he was 0-for-3 (two K's), but it looks like he enjoyed his time there via his Twitter feed. Shades of Miller Park! Game ended in a tie 3-3 after ten innings.
  16. Puerto Rico Box Score Although his club lost 4-2, SS Yadiel Rivera did his part, 2-for-3 (double, walk, RBI, run). Toss in a throwing error as well... *** Puerto Rico Box Score Martin Maldonado, playing first base, 1-for-4 (run, K), as his team cruised 8-2.
  17. Dominican Box Score Hector Gomez, playing second base, singled and walked in four trips to the plate in his team's 3-0 loss. On the winning side, 1B Hunter Morris was 0-for-3 (two K's) before being subbed out after seven innings.
  18. Dominican Box Score Three Brewers on the winning side of a 3-1 win -- Aguilas Bottom of the 8th Pitching Change: Wirfin Obispo replaces Edgar Garcia. Zoilo Almonte flies out to center fielder Derrick Robinson. Ricardo Nanita strikes out swinging. Dan Black strikes out swinging. Luis Jimenez 0-for-4, just 7-for-his-last-43, now with six errors in limited time at third base. Elian Herrera, DH'ing here, had a strong game -- 2-for-3, double, walk, run scored.
  19. AUDIO 12/4: Associated Press writer Andrew Wagner on the Bill Michaels Show (Brewers talk begins at the 9:00 minute mark) AUDIO 12/4: Joe Block on WTMJ's Sports Central AUDIO 12/5: Sophia Minnaert on the Bill Michaels Show (Brewers talk begins at the 4:00 minute mark) AUDIO 12/5: Adam McCalvy on the Big Show via 105.7 The Fan (WSSP)
  20. I tweeted earlier -- I'm such a sucker for any scouting story about "unknown" draftees who find big league success - Shane Greene qualifies, and it's cool that former #Brewers farmhand Jeff Deardorff (3rd round, '97) was the scout; from April via Kiley McDaniel
  21. Initial post in this thread updated to indicate current status of all Brewer minor league FA's (re-signings and new homes).
  22. Written for a 2015 big league impact perspective -- Rotographs -- Top 5 Prospects for 2015: Milwaukee Brewers
  23. No Brewers in Dominican action Thursday, but one former Brewer looking to latch on somewhere, Mat Gamel, made his debut, 1-for-3 (two K's). Gamel, with two completely lost seasons (no regular season AB's), receives our best wishes, would be a great story.
  24. Venezuela Box Score Everyday SS Orlando Arcia (.833 OPS in a whopping 164 winter AB's), 1-for-4 with a sacrifice bunt and a fielding error in his club's 6-2 loss.
  25. Puerto Rico Box Score Not only did 40-man roster catcher Juan Centeno go 0-for-3 to drop his average to .159 (7-for-44, one XBH), he "guided" his pitchers in a 17-0 loss. Two baserunners stole bases before they reigned things back. On the bright side of this game, amidst all the carnage, Arizona Rookie League ERA champ RHP Joshua Torres, 20 years old, tossed two scoreless innings in his first outing since November 24th. Carolina Bottom of the 4th Pitching Change: Joshua Torres replaces Eddie Camacho. Anthony Garcia flies out to center fielder John Andreoli. Masayoshi Tsukada walks. Danny Dorn singles on a line drive to center fielder John Andreoli. Masayoshi Tsukada to 3rd. Carlos Corporan grounds into a double play, pitcher Joshua Torres to shortstop Ivan De Jesus to first baseman Rene Rivera. Danny Dorn out at 2nd. Carolina Bottom of the 5th Jobduan Morales flies out to left fielder Jose Lozada. Jeff Dominguez grounds out, shortstop Ivan De Jesus to first baseman Rene Rivera. Irving Falu grounds out, shortstop Ivan De Jesus to first baseman Rene Rivera.
