Three consecutive informative tweets from Tom Haudricourt today -- I talked to asst GM Gord Ash and he said Kyle Wren is similar in skill set to Tyrone Taylor, who I have ranked as No. 1 #Brewers prospect. Gord Ash also told me that LHP Wei-Chung Wang made so much progress in Arizona Fall League that might open in Double-A next season. One more AFL tidbit from #Brewers Gord Ash: INF Hector Gomez looked good at 2B and now is strong candidate for UTIL job in 2015.

Braves deal prospect Wren to Crew for righty Quintana Atlanta looks to boost pitching depth; Milwaukee gains speedy outfielder By Mark Bowman / MLB.com Fall League video interview with Kyle Wren at link...

MLB Pipeline places Wren 12th on Brewers prospect list- unlikely Quintana was going to smell the list any time

FYI - Kyle Wren / Zach Quintana discussion with additional links is in this thread, thanks.

Good article from June -- Kyle Wren strives to leave a lasting image on the baseball field

Prior to the most recent acquisitions of Adam Lind and Kyle Wren -- Blue Jays (09/21/12) -- Acquired C Yorvit Torrealba cash in exchange for cash Braves (06/03/13) -- Acquired IF Juan Francisco in exchange for LHP Thomas Keeling Keeling was released by the Braves, and then subsequently released by his indy league team last August.

Not sure why MLB wouldn't allow Kyle Wren to be with his AFL team in Sat.'s Championship Game. To not would be arbitrarily silly.

Brief but informative blog post from Tom H. on Kyle Wren, because it includes Baseball America blurb that would otherwise be subscriber-only.

Adam at The Brewer Nation has put together a nice AFL stat summary post this AM which even includes newest Brewer (and former Brave) farmhand OF Kyle Wren.

Yet more Wei-Chung Wang love, via Jonathan Mayo's "Best of" Fall League List at MLB.com -- Changeup Sean Nolin, Blue Jays. One scout mentioned that good changeups were in short supply in the AFL this year, but Nolin's stood out. The lefty struck out seven in his last start, with his offspeed stuff working quite well. Take out one awful start (1 1/3 IP, 4 H, 4 ER) and Nolin allowed just six runs on 16 hits in 21 IP (2.57 ERA). Brewers lefty Wei-Chung Wang was mentioned by scouts and players alike for his changeup, and Astros southpaw reliever Mitch Lambson received multiple player votes as well. Control Wei-Chung Wang, Brewers. Not only did multiple scouts mention him, but Wang received more player votes for best control than any pitcher received for any other category. The stats certainly back it up: The southpaw walked only two in 23 IP. Anthony DeSclafani was mentioned by a couple of scouts, though one said it's more control than command within the strike zone.

Nice to see John Axford giving back.

Mexico Box Score RHP Manny Barredainherited a tough 2nd and 3rd, no-out situation, did what he could to limit the damage to one run -- Los Mochis Top of the 6th Sandy Madera singles on a ground ball to left fielder Maxwell Leon.

Ramon Orantes out on a sacrifice fly to right fielder Eric Farris in foul territory. Sandy Madera scores. Brian Burgamy to 3rd. Saul Soto flies out to left fielder Maxwell Leon.

Venezuela Box Score SS Orlando Arcia back on track, 2-for-5, double, run, RBI (one fielding error)

Not sure if the Venezuelan League issues a Cy Young-type award, but RHP Eric Marzec is on his way to being a deserving candidate. Over 10,000 in attendance, and American players have to do really well in Venezuela to impress the locals - Marzec sure has been. You'll notice a very busy Tim Dillard also tossed a scoreless inning in the 3-1 win.
