  1. Here's their latest, nice effort for Tyler Thornburg. *** Also on Wednesday, Jed Bradley pitched for Huntsville -- 3.1 IP, 8 H, 4 R, 2 BB, 1 K, Brooks Hall followed 3 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 1 K, Shawn Zarraga was 0-for-3, but good to see he's in action (torn ACL last season).
  2. Neat coincidence with RHP Taylor Mangum: If y'all haven't heard my brother in law Steve (Stephen Parker) is now playing with me as a Brewer, traded today from the A's!
  3. Behind Mike Fiers Thursday -- ON THE MOUND: Also scheduled to pitch this afternoon (subject to change): LHP Michael Gonzalez and LHP Tom Gorzelanny. MINOR DETAILS: Joining the team today from minor-league camp: INF Brandon Macias (#70), INF T.J. Mittelstaedt (#90), INF Jason Rogers (#93) and INF Hainley Statia (#92). *** It'll be interesting to see what happens if Fiers' appearance is shortened at all (hopefully not).
  4. Wednesday WSSP (Bill Michaels) audio: Yovani Gallardo Burke Badenhop John Axford ESPN 540: Tom Haudricourt
  5. Another fine report from Brad, who spent time with the A-ball Brewers and posted his super-gallery from the day. His twitter timeline reflects his thoughts on the day in between camera shutter clicks. RHP's Eduard Reyes, Zach Quintana, and Danny Keller among the youngsters photographed you may not have seen in Brewer uniforms previously.
  6. The wonderful Matt Eddy of Baseball America sheds some light on the 4th option issue. Looks like De Los Santos (Baseball Reference) would not have been charged with service years for 2006 (DSL) or 2009 (mostly injured).
  7. New Nashville third baseman, and good luck to Darren Byrd with the A's organization. From January 2012 on Stephen Parker: The A's did not land a top third-base prospect in their latest trades. Do they feel Stephen Parker (career stats) will be the real deal in 2013? -- Jeff C., Kennewick, Wash. That could definitely be the year Parker eases into the big league scene, but I don't think the A's are going to rush the process. At the moment, they're quite comfortable with Scott Sizemore at third base and the potential he has there with more time under his belt, while Parker is still very much a work in progress. He's been rather inconsistent with the glove during his time in the Minors -- he has a career .924 fielding percentage at third base -- and also saw a dip in power last year at the Double-A level. However, the long-term power potential is there for Parker, who will likely start the season in Sacramento. At the same time, I'd suspect Billy Beane and Co. are always on the lookout for a third baseman since it is an area that doesn't have a ton of depth. But when making those trades this offseason, the team needed to address immediate needs and felt it did so by acquiring a couple of outfielders, as well as pitchers to fill the holes left by Gio Gonzalez and Trevor Cahill.
  8. Former big league Brewer Josh Butler hoping to get back to the big leagues via the indy league route.
  9. LHP Mike Francisco, released this winter, found work with the New Jersey Jackals of the independent Can-Am League.
  10. There was no gun? I could swear that I was watching yesterday and after he gave up the run (which could have been avoided had the 2nd basemen made a better decision to get the lead runner on the previous play), the next batter he faced he threw a high fastball on the first pitch to the next batter (after the run scoring double) and I thought that it looked like a frustration pitch (just throwing as hard as he could), but then I saw the radar and it said 86. So, maybe I was wrong and it wasn't a fastball (sure looked like one), but I do think there was a gun in yesterday's game. Darn, sorry about that, I must have been in an alternate universe. Here's a pitch (not Burgos, yes, with gun reading). My bad.
  11. Behind Chris Narveson Wednesday - Also scheduled to pitch this afternoon (subject to change): RHP John Axford, RHP Brandon Kintzler, RHP Michael Olmsted and RHP Josh Stinson. MINOR DETAILS: Joining the team today from minor-league camp: RHP Kyle Heckathorn (#73), RHP Chris Jakubauskas (#98), INF Blake Davis (#94), OF Cole Garner (#90), 1B Nick Ramirez (#97), INF Yadiel Rivera (#91), INF Nick Shaw (#70) and OF Rene Tosoni (#28).
  12. Watched all of his 11.2 innings (one run, and it was tainted by a poor defensive decision by his teammate last night). Honestly, I think I'm in love. Dude was polished, mixed in all his pitches, hit his spots, knew when he could sneak one up in the zone. It was such a different vibe than watching Thornburg, for instance (nothing against Tyler and his heat). There was no gun for the broadcast, and it's clear Hiram won't light it up, but my favorite part was when Bob Costas was opining about how Puerto Rico should have started Burgos. In my eyes, he is so the 6th starter right now, and I get the sense the Brewers wouldn't hesitate in the least to drop him as needed.
  13. I really enjoyed Sirius/XM's four-hour block of Brewers' coverage from Maryvale yesterday. While their interviews each extended much longer, MLB Network Radio does archive three-minute snippets of several of them. Not listed here were interviews with Alex Gonzalez, Michael Gonzalez, Corey Hart, Aramis Ramirez, Mike Fiers, Carlos Gomez, I'm likely forgetting others...

  14. Since you mentioned Sean Halton, BOOM! Good for him yesterday, guess he'll be getting a lot of DH at bats with Morris' presence in Nashville.
  15. With less than two weeks to Opening Day, we link to the beat guys for the first time in a bit: WSSP Adam McCalvy 540ESPN Tom Haudricourt WSSP via Bill Michaels: Doug Melvin Logan Schafer Chris Narveson
  16. 24-year-old Nick Shaw and his career .381 OBP (stats) has reached in five of his eight big-league camp plate appearances (2-for-5, three walks).

  18. Monday Gameday Brandon Macias now 0-for-8 (one K) this spring with the big guys...
  19. Behind Marco Estrada Monday -- ON THE MOUND: Also scheduled to pitch this afternoon (subject to change): LHP Michael Gonzalez, LHP Tom Gorzelanny, RHP Alfredo Figaro and RHP Michael Olmsted. MINOR DETAILS: Joining the team today from minor-league camp: LHP Alan Williams (#93), INF Blake Davis (#94), INF Brandon Macias (#91) and OF Rene Tosoni (#28).
  20. Nashville's site has game summaries (although not box scores) for the first three games as of today. Just click on the game score for each.
  21. I listened to the MLB audio archive Saturday, it was very brief (a quick 1-2-3 inning, I believe), and the highlight was Honky Tonk discussing Uecker's bugged-out eyes upon the Andre the Giant promo that we've all seen so many times. In other words, it was OK, but won't go down in audio annals, I wouldn't go out of your way to re-hear it (need MLB audio subscription regardless).
  22. No word yet on whether we'll have access to minor league spring boxes this year. The Brewers' Player Development Twitter account is putting out daily updates focusing on the positive, either follow them on Twitter or add their time line to your Favorites if you're not on the Twitterverse.
  23. Latest installment includes additional photo links RHP's Brooks Hall, Maverick Lasker, and Mark Williams amongst the many photographed
  24. Orlando Arcia entered in the 7th Sunday, made this sweet play, later flied out.
