  1. Still only 18, SS Yadiel Rivera (we've seen some nice comments from player development staff) is now listed at 6'3", 181. Please don't grow out of the prototype SS mold -- any taller will be pushing it...
  2. More fun with the media guide -- Brevard LHP Brandon Ritchie now listed at 6'5", 270. That's literally almost twice the size of our favorite Mighty Mike (Marseco), listed at 5'10", 140. Marseco was listed at 155 last spring. *** Forgot that 2010 18th rounder Thomas Keeling out of Oklahoma State walked 23 in 7.2 innings last year (21.13 ERA). That's actually a higher rate than RHP Santo Manzanillo's infamous 2006 debut in Maryvale, when he walked 47 in 16.1 innings (13.22 ERA). There's hope for Keeling, as Manzanillo remains in the system five years later. But Keeling is actually nine months older than Santo still, though. Ouch...
  3. I am so looking forward to about seven sweet seasons of the Logan Schafer era in CF -- starting with Opening Day 2012. Can't wait, just can't wait, and that's so much more about Logan than it is about Gomez.
  4. Braun injury thread here. As for this game, Prince HBP, McGehee homers -- a familiar pattern Nothing more tedious than getting starting pitchers to their fully extended peak for Opening Week -- Marcum taken deep twice today, and the Muscle's is still in orbit. Man, Russell is fun.
  5. Obviously, more details will come out later -- you may remember this term being associated with Ryan before, check out this April 2009 thread. Wikipedia -- intercostal muscle Braun listed as day-to-day (as we all are).
  6. TODAY’S GAME: Is the second of two games against the Arizona Diamondbacks this spring.....the teams also met on Wednesday at Salt River with the Brewers winning, 11-8. ON THE MOUND: Also scheduled to pitch this afternoon (subject to change) is RHP John Axford, RHP Kameron Loe, RHP Justin James, RHP Mike McClendon and RHP Tim Dillard. MINOR DETAILS: Joining the team today from minor-league camp is INF Sergio Miranda (97) and RHP Eulogio De La Cruz (96).
  7. Don't forget our In-Game Chat Room (link)! Ueck and Cory can be heard on WTMJ and via MLB.com's audio link. Box score here Gameday can be found here.
  8. Continuing to cross-reference our index and the media guide, it appears there are some DSL players that won't be back in 2011 as well, as they are omitted from the guide. Will list those later tonight. Made it through part of the "M's" with all the updates on vitals and transaction history, real life beckons, will wrap up this evening...
  9. Always love watching the updates on the prior year's high school draft picks. 36th round RHP R.J. Johnson was listed at 6'3", 185 on draft day, now listed at 6'5", 224.
  10. Halton, listed at 240 in last year's media guide and at MiLB.com, is now listed at 6'5", 265 in the 2011 guide.
  11. New names for the DSL squad -- Infielder Francisco Castillo will be 18 on June 4th. A switch-hitter (yay!), he's listed at 5'11", 170, so we're guessing he's not a hulking first baseman. He's a Dominican native, and was signed to a 2011 contract last September. SS Raphachel Colatosti is from Venezuela. He must be a recent signing, because he didn't make the media guide, but MiLB.com added his page this week. He'll be 18 years old in July, and MiLB lists him as a RH bat at 6'1" with no weight data available. Just remember that a Venezuelan kid SS named Alcides Escobar was once a similar innocent signing way back when. Escobar played in Helena as a 17-year-old. RHP Milton Gomez, will be 17 on April 22nd. Signed last July to a 2011 contract, the Brewers list the Dominican native at 6'1", 172. RHP Yheris Mateo, a 20-year-old Dominican, listed at 5'9", 163. Was signed to a 2011 contract last August. Breaks the mold as a very slight RHP making his pro ball debut at age 20. We'll see, right? Someone has to emerge eventually from the Latin talent at the lowest levels now...
  12. That post was from January 19th. Turns out the 6'3", 192 lb. Brinson spent the 2009 and 2010 seasons playing rugby in Canada. http://www.langleyrugby.com/images/player2008-brinson.jpg Any future scrums on the mound, we're going with Brinson. We'll have a few other miscellaneous updates later today as we cross-check our Brewerfan Player Index with the latest Brewers media guide. We're updating player info to include the latest height and weight listings. For instance, 2010 23rd round RHP Ryan Bernal was listed at 6'4", 235 coming out of Florida Atlantic, but now sits at 213. DSL bonus baby first baseman Hitaniel Arias is up another inch to 6'6". Unless our additional updates are pronounced changes, we'll simply update the index quietly.
  13. Added one to the record-keeping in the initial post: February 2010 -- C Brent Dean, from the American Association to Helena; while not directly acquired (purchased) from an independent league team, Dean's only pro experience before signing with Milwaukee was appearing in six games with the Sioux City (Iowa) Explorers in 2009. Dean turned 24 years old during his Helena season (44 games) and will hope to serve as a member of the Brewers' catching corps somewhere in full-season ball this coming season.
  14. WSSP - 3/11/11-Baseball Insider Adam McCalvy w/the latest from AZ. on the banged up Crew
  15. It has been reported that Tom has left to be with his father. Yes, we wish the Haudricourt's well.

  17. 540 ESPN 3/11 -- Nearly 16 minutes with Doug Melvin Around the 6:30 minute mark, things pick up with discussion of Erick Almonte and Brandon Boggs; otherwise, the discussion is of general terms, the tone of camp, etc. -- Betancourt and defense talk later on...
  18. WSSP -- 3/11/11 From the MLB Network, Mitch Williams gives his Brewer prediction
  19. Brewers 4, A's 3 (box) First baseman Sean Halton with a single in his lone AB, and a nice foul pop catch on the final play of the game. Halton should mash at Huntsville, at least slugging-wise. Everyone else from big league camp.
  20. We can focus on these questions in the roster bubble thread.
  21. Don't forget our In-Game Chat Room (link)! Brian and Rock can be heard via MLB.com's audio link. Box score here Gameday can be found here. TODAY’S GAME: Is the third of three games against the Oakland Athletics this spring.....the teams split the first 2 meetings with the Brewers taking an 11-9 win on 3/3 in Maryvale and the A’s winning, 5-4, last Sunday in Phoenix. ON THE MOUND: Also scheduled to pitch this afternoon (subject to change) is RHP Sean Green, LHP Zach Braddock, RHP Brandon Kintzler, RHP Mark DiFelice and RHP Amaury Rivas. MINOR DETAILS: Joining the team today from minor-league camp is INF Taylor Green (95), 1B Sean Halton (97) and RHP Josh Butler (96).
