More from SoxProspects Despite coming into the season with little fanfare, Michael Olmsted has put together one of the more impressive statistical seasons of the bullpen arms, and in scouting trips it is easy to see why. Olmsted has a huge frame, listed at 6-foot-6 and 245 pounds, and he uses that frame to generate easy velocity on his fastball. In a recent outing, Olmsted sat 94-96 mph and showed a plus slider with tight break. He also showed the ability to miss bats with both pitches and surprisingly good command for someone his size. The reports from outing to outing haven’t been consistent, however, as his fastball has been clocked only in the low-90’s and lacked the same life in other games. Olmsted has shown the ability to project as a future major league reliever. The key for him going forward will be consistently holding his stuff from outing to outing as his fastball is flat and much more hittable when lacking the plus-plus velocity.

-- Big Dude, and yes, you must read story linked in prior post. Hard to believe Sox didn't add him to their own 40-man.

Quiet day in the Latin Leagues Friday Brewer-wise, but SS Hector Gomez posted one of his very few crooked-number days as a Brewer, 3-for-5 with a double. No longer on the 40-man, but he will be in spring training with the big league club.

The "Brewers Claim Arcenio Leon" thread in the major league forum. Leon is currently pitching in winter ball in Venezuela.

VIDEO: Because you all watch Breakfast Television Calgary religiously (or not), here's Jim Henderson's recent appearance (just under five minutes). We recently linked to a much more thorough and entertaining 46-minute audio interview, here's that link in case you missed it. Obviously, the lack of big league talent from his hometown and the fact he still calls it home makes Henderson pretty much a rock star among Calgarians (yes, that's what they're called, I looked it up ). -

November 1st episode of WTMJ's Brewers Weekly -
Kudos to Beth Phoenix on her retirement (and relationship with Edge) -- fantastic run for her.
-
In Doug Melvin's WSSP appearance today, he confirmed that Hiram Burgos will be a 40-man roster addition, which we all figured after his breakout season.

AUDIO: Doug Melvin's WSSP Halloween appearance -
I believe the limited no-trade aspect of Hart's contract expires in this final year, meaning he could be traded to a Florida spring training team at this time. Sorry, no link yet, but remember that pretty clearly from interviews and such at the time. Not that I'm suggesting that...

In the Dominican, Taylor Green (11-for-37, .297) singled twice to snap a dry spell, and Jean Segura was 0-for-4 but walked twice in an extra-inning game.

Kudos to RHP Donovan Hand down in Venezuela. Second consecutive quality start (the local ownerships in these Latin leagues tend to like that), even if it did come in an eventual 4-3 loss. Box 6.2 IP, 8 H, 3 R, 1 BB, 4 K, 1 HR (one charged run scored after he was pulled) Love the randomness of the names in Latin box scores. 2004-2009 Brewer OF Freddy Parejo, who last saw affiliated action with Houston in 2010, with an appearance. Hand will turn 27 next April, and will be entering his 7th (and final team controlled season, barring a 40-man roster addition) with the Brewers in 2013. Easy guy to root for in terms of a big league Brewer debut at some point.

And we learn today that Gomez has been signed by the Brewers to a minor league deal for 2013 with an invite to major league spring training.

Rob Wooten gets the win Sunday in Venezuela, and a Jean Segura Sunday Dominican update.

Here's my twitter timeline from late Sat. / very early Sunday -- winter league updates on Donovan Hand, Taylor Green, Jean Segura, and Jesus Sanchez. The one AFL post in the timeline with this update -- turned out Josh Prince's 5th consecutive multi-hit game was a three-hit effort, not just two.

Baseball America's Transaction Update: Signed as a catcher by the Yankees in ’04, Jesus Sanchez made his way to the Phillies in the July ’06 Bobby Abreu trade. After hitting .186 in 35 games for low Class A Lakeland in ’08, Philadelphia converted him into a righty starter for the ’09 season. Sanchez reached high Class A Clearwarter in the Phillies system and finished with a solid 2.99 ERA and 1.10 WHIP, but he got released from the 40-man during a roster crunch following the ’10 season. The Brewers signed him to a minor league deal within two weeks. Milwaukee shifted Sanchez to the bullpen this season and he took off, peaking at 97 mph with a good slider and reaching Triple-A Nashville in the second half. He finished the year with 72 innings in 52 appearances and strong ratios—8.0 strikeouts, 2.8 walks, 0.3 homers and 7.2 hits per nine innings— and he held Triple-A righthanders to a batting line of .209/.292/.233. Now he's pitching in the Venezuelan League as a member of the Brewers' 40-man roster.

We'll see if we can maintain a "Brewers off-season entertainment" thread. Kicking it off, the first WTMJ Brewers Weekly from 10/25 Dan O'Donnell discusses the newest Brewers news with Cliff Corcoran, Lance Allan, and Kyle Lobner.
