  1. Here's the Gameday Link for the Dominican Republic vs. Puerto Rico game kicking off the Caribbean World Series in Venezuela today, game started at 2:00 PM Central A couple of surprises -- Juan Francisco is not on the Dominican Republic roster with the rest of his Team Licey mates, so he will not be taking part in the series. Also for the Dominican, although he was not on the DWL championship squad, SS Hector Gomez has been pulled in from another team and is in today's lineup, batting 7th, along with Eugenio Velez, playing left field and batting 5th. *** Two Brewers, as expected, are part of the active Puerto Rico team and are in today's starting lineup. Catcher Martin Maldonado is batting 6th today, while Irving Falu, like Gomez and Velez a non-roster invite to big league spring training, is playing third base and batting 2nd. The Puerto Rico team is managed by former big league second baseman Carlos Baerga. *** There are no current Brewers on teams Venezuela or Mexico, although old friend and former Milwaukee 40-man roster member Zelous Wheeler (now a Yankee farmhand) has spent the entire winter season in Mexico and will be taking part. *** If you get ESPN Deportes, all the games are being televised. Here's the homepage for all Caribbean Series info.
  2. Per Matt Eddy of Baseball America: Veteran IF Blake Davis, with Nashville for all of 2013, has been signed by the Pirates organization to a minor league deal. The Pirates also signed LHP Matt Ford, the Brewers' 2003 Rule 5 pick from Toronto, who last pitched professionally in 2008. he'll be attempting a comeback at age 33. Now that's an alumni blast from the past...

  4. The Brewers have signed 29-year-old minor league free agent catcher Lucas May (career stats). May, a 6'0" right-handed bat, has played just a touch of corner infield in recent minor league seasons, but will certainly be listed as a catcher this spring. Drafted in the 8th round in 2003 out of a Missouri high school by the Dodgers as a shortstop (yes), and after seeing some outfield time as well as a young player, he has since seen time in the Royals, Diamondbacks, Mets, and most recently, Pirates, system. LA traded him to Kansas City for Scott Podsednik in July 2010, and later saw his only twelve games of big league action with the Royals that season. According to the Brewers Player Development Twitter feed, May won't be in big league camp for spring training, but will be invited to early minor league camp. Find him on Twitter @LukedogKC.
  5. And, even before he throws an indy ball pitch, Ryan is picked up by the Rockies organization. Awesome, congrats to Ryan, who the Brewers let go back in October. Time to update the Twitter heading, though...
  6. Here's Matt Garza's six-minute interview with WTMJ from Thursday night's Sports Central show. For those of you waiting for acceptance to authorization to his Twitter account, you can forget that (while the account isn't deleted, he's "grown out of" it, as he mentions, certainly due to this incident - which is not mentioned.) It's a Soundcloud web link, you may need to update your Adobe Flash or try a different browser if you're having trouble playing it.
  7. John Sickels again proving he's among the best at this -- Milwaukee Brewers Top 20 Prospects for 2014
  8. Here's the David Denson batting practice video, he's listed at 6'4", 245, but seems shorter with that slight crouch, of course, nothing to compare to within the video for perspective.
  9. And another tweet with this sweet picture: Apparently some video coming soon, too
  10. Gotta love these photos of LH slugger David Denson working out, just turned 18 years old in November. Can't wait to see him hit bombs over Pioneer League mountains this summer.
  11. Here's the schedule for the Caribbean series. It appears all games will be telecast on ESPN Deportes, but not online at ESPN3 (unlike last year).
  12. But as the audio notes, if you already have a "y" or "ie" name, like Rickie, the nickname involves removing it, as Roenicke always refers to Weeks as "Rick". Fascinating...
  13. John Sickels -- Milwaukee Brewers farm system preliminary grade breakdown Short and sweet, and the actual names to be listed later this week; the comments are off to a decent discussion start, at least as of this posting time here.
  14. You read about RHP Eric Marzec's expoits in Australia in our winter league thread, now Jason Arndt catches up with him.
  15. Not enough Doug Melvin this morning? He spent nearly twenty minutes chatting with Chuck and Wickett on WSSP (audio link).
  16. Nice, MLB Network Radio just archived two additional segments of the Doug Melvin interview -- On Ryan Braun and On injuries So now three segments all together...
  17. From Wed. 1/29 -- MLB Network Radio They only release a portion of their interviews for free, here's four minutes with Doug Melvin
  18. Via WSSP, here's Tuesday night's Hot Stove Weekly Show (full). Within the show, you have individual interview links here for Brian Anderson fill-in announcer Matt Lepay and Adam McCalvy. Both those interviews are included in the full archive, naturally.
  19. Tuesday's Winter League action -- Dominican Box Score It's another league championship for some Brewers, as Licey rides a 3-1 win for a five games-to-three series win. First baseman Juan Francisco was the only player to take part here, although he was 0-for-4 (one K, hit only .219 in 27 postseason games, although with six home runs). Eugenio Velez had the night off (he played exclusively in the outfield for the winter, best to our recollection); Alfredo Figaro did not pitch for Licey in the eight finals games; back at the beginning of the winter, Sean Halton (15 games) and RHP Ariel Pena (two games) also played for Licey. On to Venezuela now for the Caribbean World Series starting Saturday. From MLB.com: Licey became the Dominican champions Tuesday with a comeback win over Escogido in the eighth game of the best-of-nine series. Rene Rivera hit a game-tying home run in the fifth inning for Licey, and Emilio Bonifacio drove home the go-ahead run on a single in the seventh. Carlos Marmol worked a scoreless eighth in relief, and veteran Juan Cruz locked up the title with a save in the ninth. *** Reminder for those linking here via Twitter -- catch up on the Brewers' Puerto Rico League representatives a few posts above.
  20. Via the Big 920, 1/28/14 audio: Roenicke Says He's Excited For His Pitching Staff "Brewers manager Ron Roenicke joined The Mike Heller Show Tuesday to talk about the upcoming season, his all right handed pitching staff and how he comes up with nicknames for all his players."
  21. Via ESPN540 1/27, the NY2LA Sports Show -- Mark Attanasio, go to the 23:45 minute mark (Just under a full 20 minutes of audio with the owner...)
  22. Brewers' site video page has several from over the weekend *** VIDEO: Tom Haudricourt on Cinesport
