Nice update from Adam McCalvy: The Brewers expect to announce a number of additional signings from last week's First-Year Player Draft by the end of the week, including a deal with second-round pick Tyrone Taylor, a center fielder from Torrance (Calif.) High School, who had a scholarship offer from Cal-State Fullerton. Club officials cannot comment on any of the pending signings until the players pass physical exams.

Evan says not to worry.

Manatees' site article -- Vucinich and Medlen added to All-Star roster 'Tees second baseman and closer named to North Division squad

I helped Brewers Twitter Fiend @BrewerNation identify the twitter feeds of 25 of the 42 draft picks thus far. Others chipped in on draft day... You can see them all here: Brewers 2012 Draftees Draft picks who have signed also appear on the list we've linked to earlier in this thread: MiLB Brewers

To make room for Jimmy Nelson in Huntsville, the Stars placed RHP Evan Anundsen on the 7-day DL, retroactive to 6/11. Hopefully everything's going to be fine with Evan, who was hit hard (a rare event this year) in his most recent outing. The Manatees are playing one man down, at 24, until a subsequent move is made to backfill Nelson's spot.

Audio interview with Canadian 7th round RHP David Otterman (just after the draft, has since signed)

Congrats to Brevard closer Casey Medlen; he just tweeted out he's Florida State League All-Star Game bound. Jimmy Nelson had been the team's only rep prior to his promotion to AA. No token assignment, check out the K-to-BB ratio...

Audio from Memphis — “Words from (Reggie) Williams” Jeff Hem's note -- Today’s interview is with Reggie Williams, a Memphis native, a former major leaguer (Dodgers & Indians) and currently an outfield and baserunning instructor for the Milwaukee Brewers who was observing the Sounds’ series against the Memphis Redbirds.

Nashville Media Notes Here's your 2013 Brewers CF, folks -- LOGAN’S RUN: Centerfielder Logan Schafer is enjoying a successful road trip, batting .583 (14-for-24) with four RBIs and five runs scored in seven games against Iowa and Memphis. The 25-year-old is currently riding a season-best eight-game hit streak, including multiple-hit efforts in five of his last seven tilts, and has hit safely in 20 of his last 25 contests overall. Schafer’s hot streak coincides with a recent drop from the leadoff spot to third in the Nashville lineup, where he is hitting .457 (16-for-35) in 10 games.

It appears two teams in the Manatees North Division (within which the majority of games are played) have audio, and all six teams in the South Division have audio (at least for their home games), so there will be opportunities to listen to approx. 70% or Brevard's games this season, just all from the opponent's perspective. There are no Florida State League games on MiLB.TV this year. ********** Wisconsin: RHP Matt Miller at Clinton (Mariners), 6:40 PM pre-game, 7:00 gametime Free Live Audio Link - 1280 AM WNAM Chris Mehring is back to do his customary fantastic work as the Voice of the Rattlers.

Rattler Radio Blog: Nine after 9, the division-clinching edition

Claudio Vargas and the Sounds in an 11:05 Central morning contest Wednesday. Will effort an up-front Link Report, can't contain our excitement on that one (all due respect, Jeff Hem).

Final: DSL Braves 9, DSL Brewers 6 Box Score Good news, usual 3B Sthervin Matos was the DH, his first appearance in just under a week. Iron man catcher Carlos Pena singled, walked and drove in a run, and despite all the baserunners, no Brave attempted a steal in this one. Infielder Raphachel Colatosti (who needs to gain some weight, apparently is a hologram), second-year RF Elvis Rubio (still just 17), and rookie 17-year-old Juan Ortiz (nice pro start) all reached base thrice; Cerveceritos reached base seven times via walk or HBP along with eight hits. Nearly all the damage done by the Crew came in a five-run 3rd, in which Braves reliever Jesus Jones allowed both inherited runners to score (had wondered what had ever happened to him - great song). After two scoreless relief appearances to begin his career, 17-year-old Venezuelan RHP Junior Flores didn't find the 3rd time to be the charm; RHP Eduard Reyes (22 this August) was OK in his start (victim of defense, but also three walks, two wild pitches).

Audio from Memphis — “Jay Talking” Jeff Hem's note -- Tonight’s pregame guest is veteran outfielder Jay Gibbons, who is in the Brewers organization for the second time and has hit a pair of mammoth home runs for the Sounds so far this road trip. Among the topics Gibbons discusses is why he wears just one batting glove at the plate instead of two or none.

At Wisconsin, catcher Tyler Roberts was acticated off the seven-day DL, while IF (occasional utility OF) Adrian Williams was assigned to Helena. Wonder if Williams is still physically with the Rattlers; he's been on the team all season, bummer for him if he had to depart prior to any division-clinching celebration.

22nd round LHP Taylor Wall out of Rice has signed and is in Helena.

2011 36th round RHP Mitch Conner out of Elon (NC) University just tweeted that he's scheduled for Tommy John surgery next week, he had yet to pitch with any of the full-season teams this season. Here's wishing him well...
