  1. It's a great story, but Mike Jones' 2009 numbers were hardly inspiring except that he stayed healthy. I wasn't sure he was going to survive spring cuts, to be honest. The Nashville site has a nice little roster preview write-up that includes a detailed PDF convenient for printing.
  2. Within his post that kicked off the 2010 Nashville thread with AAA roster info, Tom H. included several nuggets of interest -- The starting rotation at Class AA Huntsville will have some of the top young pitchers in the organization, including RHP Mark Rogers, RHP Amaury Rivas, RHP Michael Bowman and RHP Alex Periard. Another top righty, Evan Anundsen, was slated to be in that rotation but will begin the year on the DL with a slight shoulder problem. LHP Chris Cody will take his place. RHP Mike Jones, the 2001 first-round pick who has attempted to come back from shoulder and elbow surgeries, is switching to a relief role this year and will begin with Huntsville. Centerfield prospect Lorenzo Cain also was sent to Huntsville to get his feet on the ground after missing much of 2009 with a knee injury. Another fast centerfielder, Lee Haydel, will be in that outfield, as will Caleb Gindl. *** One wonders when Logan Schafer may be ready for action, whether Cain might be bumped to Nashville at that time.
  3. I've seen conflicting reports that this a WTMJ game. MLB.com lists it as a web audiocast only. CHAT ROOM, CHAT ROOM, CHAT ROOM Box score here Audio subscribers listen via MLB.com here Gameday can be found here. edited date to reflect April 3rd, not 2nd--pitchleague
  4. Two more releases -- 27-year-old catcher J.R. Hopf was let go. Undrafted out of the University of Tampa in 2006, Hopf hit .232 in 591 AB's, and was the Brewers go-to emergency catcher, logging time in AAA when needed, including the postseason last year (audio highlight). Hopf backed up Jonathan Lucroy in Huntsville in 2009. RHP Wes Etheridge, 25, was the Brewers 12th round pick in 2007 out of UC-Irvine. He made 26 appearances, all in relief, in two seasons betwen rookie ball in '07 and then West Virginia in '08. He missed the 2009 season, to our knowledge, by his own choosing, but was back in camp this spring.
  5. Just one more game for me before I "retire" from the In-Game Forum. I'm sure my cohorts have plans to dazzle you with Opening Posts for IGT's in the regular season.

  7. Knowing that remaining Brewer farmhands may like to know what recently released players are up, we'll tell you that RHP Ryan Platt has signed with the Traverse City (Michigan) Beach Bums of the independent Frontier League. Here's the writeup. And yes, there are beaches in Michigan. Silly me didn't automatically associate lakes with beaches.

  9. The Diamondbacks optioned OF Cole Gillespie to AAA Reno.

  11. Adam McCalvy asked Reid Nichols about Brandon Rapoza: Brandon Rapoza, the Brewers' 31st round Draft pick from 2008, is only 24 years old and posted a 2.13 ERA in 41 relief appearances at Class A Brevard County last season. He was pushed out by pitchers with higher upside, according to Milwaukee farm director Reid Nichols.
  12. Another off-season release, RHP Mark Holliman (Huntsville, 2009) has signed with Winnipeg of the independent Northern League. FYI -- a newly christened and updated Alumni thread with relevant links within the initial post, should be available as it normally is, around May 1st.

  14. Just-released LHP Donald Brandt managed to find independent league work within a day or two after his release. He signed with the Na Koa Ikaika Maui of the Golden Baseball League. Yes, that's in Maui. If you're going to play indy ball, do it in Maui. It blows me away that an independent league (and check out the diverse locations of this league) can afford the travel costs involved.

  21. As per Tom H. -- RHP Mike Burns released Wish him well while you breathe a sigh of relief...
  22. Giants minor leaguer and former Brewer farmhand Steve Palazzolo is quoted in the player salary followup article. You learn here how much Adam Heether may make this year as a first-time 40-man roster player, for instance. Guaranteed you'll have newfound respect for all the young men, especially the non-bonus boys, after reading this.
  23. A followup to the earlier prediction post at Bernie's Crew.
  24. Huntsville's Buck Rogers comments within this interesting Baseball America feature. When they post the second part focusing on player salaries, we'll include it in this thread.
