  1. Updated the initial post in this thread: Yankees (11/17/23) -- Acquired 1B/OF Jake Bauers in exchange for OF's Jace Avina and Brian Sanchez with: Yankees (02/14/24) -- Acquired RHP Joshua Quezada in exchange for LHP Clayton Andrews
  2. Greg is awesome, whatever path he follows, best wishes, sir. Golden voice, fantastic talent, so smooth. It's brutal what the Carolina League has done with hardly any affiliates sending their announcers on the road anymore. Thanks, Greg.
  3. Doesn’t include the Fangraphs rankings just above:
  4. Keith Law's Top 20 at The Athletic ($) is up. In his miscellaneous notes, I corrected: Second baseman Oliver Dunn is 26, but he may have a major-league roster spot waiting for him after the Brewers acquired him as a Rule 5 pick (via trade with the Phillies). Dunn can run, he can hit a little, has some sneaky pop, and he’s fine at second base with experience at third and in the outfield. He seems like a great last-guy-on-the-bench player given his speed and versatility. Thanks, Keith. One correction on Oliver Dunn, not a Brewers Rule 5 pick. Phillies acquired him from Yankees in the minor league phase of 2022's Rule 5. Milwaukee acquired him via trade after a blistering 2023 Fall League performance.

  10. Thanks, adjusted things best I could.
  11. Happy 90th Birthday today to the sole Gilligan’s Island survivor, Tina Louise (Ginger). Saying hi to two still-with-us TV moms in June Lockhart, 98 (Lassie, Lost in Space) and Marion Ross, 95 (Happy Days). They were born in June and October, respectively. The Price is Right voice Johnny Gilbert is 99. In keeping with the spirit of this thread - can’t believe I kicked it off more than a decade ago - here’s the link sorted by age of a glorious list of ultra-seniors, hopefully doing as well as one can, for you to review.
  12. The Brewers maintained either via retaining (same position) or promoting / re-assigning the vast majority of their 2023 coaches at the four full-season affiliates. Back in October, 48-year-old David Valdez, a Development Coach with Carolina, left after his first year in the system and will be coaching high school ball in Massachusetts this spring.
  13. Here's what I have (calculated within my birthday tracker spreadsheet): 307 Brewers players currently in the organization - this includes all 35 players from the January international signing period) Subtract the 40-man roster = 267 minor league players Subtract the 111 players yet to debut stateside = 156 players currently count against the 175-player offseason stateside limit The 165-player in-season stateside limit (I would imagine) does not face enforcement until the Maryvale rookie complex season begins in June. So, as of the date of that June Maryvale start compared to now, the Brewers could add nine players between AAA down to rookie ball. Of course, releases, long-term injured list assignments and departures (such as trades) from those levels would allow significantly more to be brought on board, whether from the DSL or as minor league free agents. And even with two teams in the DSL, there won't be 111 active players in the Dominican. The Brewers have shown a respectful hesitancy regarding DSL releases. Nearly every player gets a second season (or at least a significant partial second season) to perform. Have a good spring camp, guys!
  14. Via the "Brew Crew Scoop" Podcast: "Dan Zielinski from The Baseball Prospect Journal joined us on this episode for an interview where we discussed the trade, the Brewers 2023 Draft, and the depth of the Brewers farm system." (go to the 06:25 minute mark)
  15. After five years at the #Brewers complex level (three in the Dominican, then two in Maryvale) Hitting Coach Mike Habas gets to the Carolina League for Washington.
  16. Former Brewers pitching prospect Edrian Robinson suspended 80 games for positive drug test Associated Press Former Milwaukee Brewers pitching prospect Edrian Robinson was suspended for 80 games on Friday by Major League Baseball following a positive test for the performance-enhancing substance Boldenone under the minor league drug program. A right-hander who turns 22 on March 1, Robinson was signed by the Brewers in October 2020 and released last Sept. 25. He was 0-0 with a 7.94 ERA last year in two starts and 15 relief appearances with the Arizona Complex League Brewers, leaving him 3-1 with a 7.90 ERA in 34 games over three seasons at that rookie level league. Robinson was fourth player disciplined this year under the minor league program.

Guest Hunter Baumgardt joins us" VIDEO via MLB Network's "MLB Tonight": DL Hall Reviewing the Brew's" Cold Brew Podcast: "Co-hosts David Gasper and Matt Carroll break down the crazy week that has been for the Brewers.
