Via the Manatees: INF Garrett Cooper transferred to Wisconsin. RHP Greg Holle activated from disabled list. The Timber Rattlers will need to make another move upon Cooper's arrival, it appears. *** ,631 OPS disappointing for Cooper in his Brevard stint.

In case -- Utah RHP Mitch Watrous waits for a call from an MLB team Utah head coach Bill Kinneberg thinks he might go as early as the fourth round Friday. Watrous hopes to be selected during the first 10 rounds. Every Major League Baseball team has contacted Watrous, with the Milwaukee Brewers showing more interest than the others. Because he hasn’t signed with an agent, he’ll have the option of returning to the Utes if he’s not happy with his draft position. He’s thankful for the fallback plan — and the thought of leaving behind his Utah teammates saddens him — but he’s itching to go pro. "You only get one chance, so I don’t want to risk turning it down and not getting that chance to play," he says. "I never thought I would get a chance."

Baseball America's HITTER OF THE DAY: Orlando Arcia, ss — high Class A Brevard County (Brewers) "Oswaldo's little brother had himself a mighty fine Thursday, going 4-for-4 with a double, two runs, two RBIs, a walk and a stolen base. He's a contacted oriented hitter who rarely strikes out and has the capability to make dazzling plays at shortstop. He had a slow start this April but ticked up in May and has had a good first few games of June."

Brevard County -- AUDIO: 1B Garrett Cooper joins Justin Rocke to talk about Cooper returning to the lineup after missing 14 games due to illness Just insane how seriously ill as many as eleven players were... AUDIO, Game Highlights: The Manatees win a wild game against the Marauders, 10-7. Eight different 'Tees had a hit and an RBI Six minutes of action... AUDIO: Justin Rocke of the Manatees Radio Network catches up with 2B Yadiel Rivera after his four-hit night

First of all, we see great write-ups in the game summaries all the time, often impeccable, actually. We've enjoyed such from Nashville staff and Chris in Wisconsin for years. The Brevard County write-up today was as well done as you're going to see, awesome. Kudos to Manatees ownership for establishing a fantastic online presence, after years of absolute nothingness. What a bonus for Brewer fans, great job, guys. Catching up from Wednesday: VIDEO, including a bit of game action: Andrew Luftglass of the Manatees Radio Network chats with RHP Austin Ross after Ross struck out a season-high eight men. As they tend to do in the rare videos they provide, the guys take part in a bit of hijinks behind the scenes.

Here you go, along with audio interviews with Taylor Brennan, Michael Ratterree, Johnny Davis, and Matt Erickson.

Brewers announce they've released OF Chadwin Stang from the Huntsville roster. Stang had been released in spring training, was re-signed from an indy ball commitment, but wasn't getting AB's in his deep reserve role currently.

Stars rained out, twinbill Friday. *** Stars' Tyler Cravy named starting pitcher for Southern League All-Star Game; Ramirez, Rogers in Starting Lineup

Stars' Tyler Cravy named starting pitcher for Southern League All-Star Game The Huntsville Stars' Tyler Cravy, an eight-game winner and owner of the league's best ERA, will be the starting pitcher for the Northern Division team in the Southern League All-Star Game on June 17 in Chattanooga. The starting lineup was announced Thursday afternoon by Razor Shines, the Chattanooga manager who'll pilot the Northern team. Cravy will be joined by two Huntsville teammates in the starting lineup. Nick Ramirez will play first base and bat fourth while Jason Rogers will be the designated hitter, batting seventh. Eight Huntsville players were chosen for the team. Joining Cravy, Ramirez and Rogers are pitchers David Goforth, Drew Gagnon, Brent Suter, Arcenio Leon, and Taylor Jungmann. The latter two have been promoted to Class AAA Nashville since the balloting began but will still earn All-Star designation. Here's the North's lineup: 1 John Andreoli, OF, Tennessee 2 Darnell Sweeney, 2B, Chattanooga 3 Kris Bryant, 3B, Tennessee 4 Nick Ramirez, 1B, Huntsville 5 Scott Schebler, OF, Chattanooga 6 Kevan Smith, C, Birmingham 7 Jason Rogers, DH, Huntsville 8 Trayce Thompson, OF, Birmingham 9 Ketel Marte, SS, Jackson SP Tyler Cravy, Huntsville The Stars, who have already clinched the first-half Southern League North division title, open a 10-game home stand tonight, facing the Mobile BayBears, who are atop the South standings.

Part Two is now up.

The 27-year-old Leon is in his in 10th pro season. Prior to this promotion, he had only appeared at AAA once before, for one game in 2011, in the Astros' system. He has spent time on the 40-man rosters of both the Houston and Milwaukee organizations, and has one option remaining should he earn his way back on at some point. Minor league veteran Johnnie Lowe has been placed on the Nashville DL to get the roster down to 25. Also, infielder Hainley Statia has been swapped down to Huntsville from the Sounds. Looks like the Stars need to make a move to create room for Statia.
