    Slide to the bottom of this Jonathan Mayo Q&A for his Coulter comments.

    If you scroll down to the "In the Minors" section of Friday's "Frosty Mug",Kyle Lobner highlights all of Thursday's AFL and Winter League Brewer-related updates. *** By the way, remember last March, when the Hector Gomez to the Angels trade was actually posted on the Brewers and MLB's transactions page? That sure worked out for the Crew given Gomez' 2014 season...

    Also from Bill -- nice! Four #Brewers instructs pitchers shut out Angels today --- D. Williams, Medeiros, Woodruff, Earls.

    Via photographer Bill Mitchell: Nice shortstop defense today by #Brewers J2 sign Gilbert Lara, especially on a ball that he had to range to his left. Still seeing innings at short for now, apparently.

    The initial post in this thread has been updated to indicate that INF Jeff Bianchi and C Matt Pagnozzi have elected minor league free agency, as was their right after their recent DFA's.

    Name to watch -- With limited Huntsville media coverage and a July 17th acquisition date, we didn't hear much about longtime Yankee farmhand RHP Manny Barreda, but agent Josh Kusnick tells us he was at 98 MPH and that the Brewers may choose to add him to the 40-man to keep him from minor league free agency.

    Baseball America notes that Brooks Hall hit 93 during his inning Tuesday.

    MLB Trade Rumors: Clearing waivers and being outrighted was Jeff Bianchi of the Brewers. Bianchi, who turned 28 on Sunday, struggled in limited MLB action this year. The utility infielder owns a lifetime .534 OPS through 402 plate appearances in the bigs. Over three seasons at Triple-A, he has posted a more attractive .299/.349/.428 line. 38 on the 40-man, two on the 60-day DL.

    First action since April: Mesa Top of the 7th Pitching Change: Brooks Hall replaces Parker Bridwell. Boog Powell lines out to center fielder Tyrone Taylor. Dalton Pompey flies out to center fielder Tyrone Taylor. Tony Renda grounds out, shortstop Corey Seager to first baseman Nick Ramirez.

    Here's your Opening Day Box Score (game going on as of post time).

    As John Torres reminds us in Florida Today: "Brevard residents may soon only be able to watch professional baseball from home soon as well. Once the Nationals are gone for good, then the Manatees — who can't afford the stadium upkeep on their own — would also be forced to leave." *** Formally, the Nationals lease in Viera/Melbourne runs through 2017, so the Brewers/Manatees relationship is solid through 2016. This would be one reason we didn't see a four-year PDC signed with Brevard, which would have carried through 2018.

    Josh indicated: "Manny would very much welcome coming back. I would imagine the market should be huge for him. He loves the Brewers a lot and is quite grateful for the opportunity so we'll have to see."

    Huntsville Stars move comes down to new stadium's construction schedule By Nick Lough, WAAF HUNTSVILLE, AL (WAFF) - The City of Huntsville could have to wait until January to find out if the Huntsville Stars will play ball in the Rocket City or move to Biloxi next season. The Stars, the AA affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers, have a contract to stay in Huntsville through the 2015 season. However, Stars owner Ken Young wants to move the team to Biloxi. A stadium is also under construction in Mississippi. Several weeks ago, Huntsville Mayor Tommy Battle said Minor League baseball officials had given the city “assurances” that Huntsville would hopefully have an in or out answer by early October. Young said conversations with the city and Mayor Battle are ongoing but it's too early to say where the team will play next year. “We won't have a good handle on it for at least 90 days,” said Young. The owner said the move comes down to the “construction schedule” on the new stadium. Young said he's also not ruling out having the team split games between Alabama and Mississippi while the work on the new stadium is underway. “There is a possibility we could play part of the season in Huntsville and the rest in Biloxi,” Young said. We reached out to the Mayor's office. They released the following statement: "We expect both sides to live up to their obligations in the contract.” The Stars scheduled home opener is April 20, 2015.

    Outrighted (as expected) by the Rangers, but he had his moment, classy move by that organization.

    Thanks to Chris' latest blog post (check it out) -- Curious (Wisconsin): What did evaluators see that kept Taylor Williams off this list? J.J. Cooper: He might have made the list in a thinner league. Just the depth of the league. He’s a future power reliever in a league where relievers have a real tough time making the list.

    One player, who will only turn 26 this week, who may be a prime candidate for a minor league contract extension based on age/performance, is RHP Manny Barreda, who was solid for Huntsville once signed. There was an article about Barreda via the Arizona Daily Star this AM. The Brewers were very quick to contact agent39 (Joshua Kusnick) upon his release by the Yankees, we'll reach out to Josh to learn the latest.

    Quite often I'll post the news in both forums. The minor league transaction thread we would prefer to maintain mostly for historical reference and not so much a discussion thread. If a player becomes "discussion-worthy", we'll always direct folks to where they can discuss the signing more in-depth.
  19. Jim Goulart
    Looks like right field may be Clint's fit... MLB.com on Coulter, Harrison, Lara, etc.

    A new minor league transaction thread for the 2014-15 offseason is now in place. There's no formal protocol for folks to worry about, but if a player is signed to a minor league contract with no big league camp invite, one would think there is no need to start a new thread specific to that signing on the Major League Forum. But use your judgment, let's say Jeremy Hermida is re-signed to a minor league deal but with no camp invite, maybe there is a Major League thread already in place discussing 2015 organizational outfield depth or something.

    Kicking off this thread and have closed the lengthy 2014 Regular Season Minor League Transactions thread. Nothing new to report today, but the upcoming updates here will tie in closely with our Brewer Minor League Free Agents After the 2014 Season thread and our 2014 Rule 5 Protection & the 40-Man Roster thread.

    Chris Mehring does a nice job consolidating the Baseball America Rookie Leagues Brewer-related chat material at his blog.

    Thanks, Kalle8! I had stumbled upon that interview being previewed but had only found references to it on sites that had apparent malware and didn't feel comfortable linking to it here. Love the romantic production value in the open! Actually, tremendous job by the interviewers considering it was their first English-language podcast. The gentlemen are passionate about their baseball. Kalle8 is our Italian resident and Brewer fan extraordinaire. His twitter account features a great photo of his visit to Milwaukee, when our Brewerfan staffer hawing helped play host to him. *** Huizinga is slated to be a minor league free agent in late October, but indicates in the podcast he'll find out from the Brewers later this month whether he'll be re-signed and have an opportunity to break camp in April with one of the Brewers' affiliates. Easy call, Reid and Gord! Who is setting a better example of diligence for the youngsters? Refresh yourself on Huizinga's story if unfamiliar here and here.

    Brewers activate INF Jeff Bianchi from the 60-day DL (sidelined with elbow injury since July 19th), bringing their 40-man roster to 39 (transactions page). For the moment, RHP's Jim Henderson and Tyler Thornburg remain on the 60-day DL, and thus don't count against the 40-man. Bianchi, who is out of minor league options, had already been outrighted off the 40-man in May, only to be re-added in June. Remains to be seen if the Brewers will carry him on the 40-man roster again all winter. If he is dropped from the 40-man again, he can elect free agency, an option he did not take when he could have in May.
