  1. The Mudcats have tweeted several player highlight reels from 2023 in recent days. They all can be found here.
  2. Exciting 6-5 walkoff win for Brisbane, but 1B Tayden Hall was 0-for-5 (one K). Box Hall's Stats (.170/.264/.255 - .519 OPS in 47 AB's)
  3. Wednesday 12/6: Via WSSP's Steve "Sparky" Fifer: Steve is joined by Tim Muma of BrewerFanatic.com to discuss the landmark deal for Brewers outfield prospect Jackson Chourio. The outlook for the Brewers this offseason including rumors of Corbin Burnes and Willy Adames possibly being traded. A position change for Christian Yelich? A possible trade for the Brewers to "go for it"? Locked on Brewers with Chuck Freimund - "The Brewers lay some groundwork as the Baseball Winter Meetings end" Reviewing the Brew's" Cold Brew Podcast: "Co-hosts David Gasper and Matt Carroll break down a wild week for the Brewers at the Winter Meetings. They signed Jackson Chourio to a record-breaking contract extension, they signed a couple of pitchers, had a win in the Draft Lottery, and there are a bunch of rumors surrounding this team as well. We break it all down in our post-Winter Meetings episode"
  4. There are 48 names listed as Rule 5 eligible. In determining who they may wish to expose to that minor league phase, it may not necessarily be the furthest away from the higher levels. Organizations have exposed players to the minor league phase at times as a de-facto favor, perhaps giving them a new opportunity, while still retaining them as depth pieces if not selected. The Brewers ended up utilizing 36 spots of the 38 allowed on their AAA roster, according to the roll call on the broadcast just prior to the minor league phase. So 2018 2nd round pick OF Joe Gray, Jr. was not among the 36, glad to see he was the first player taken in this phase (by the Royals). Gray gets the dignity of being selected. It would have been awkward if the Brewers didn't have a AA spot for him in his nearby Biloxi home area for 2024. He turns 24 in March. This was what I was referring to as the de-facto favor. Back in the Doug Melvin days, he once admitted to as much for infielder and brief big-league Brewer Eric Farris.
  5. Tuesday 12/5: Via 97.3's "Brewing the Offseason" - "Mike Heller, Tim Allen, Hunter Baumgardt, and Jeff Orloski discuss the Winter Meetings and more! They debate the future of Yelich, the outfield, and Chourio!" Locked on Brewers with Chuck Freimund - "Brewers are officially staying-but who is leaving from the outfield?
  6. Doug doesn't discuss his stop at the Brewers Academy, but if you've ever wondered what an extended tour destination trip about all things Dominican baseball would be like, this is a good read:
  7. Monday 12/4: Via WTMJ's Afternoon News (download link): Matt Arnold VIDEO via MLB Network in Nashville: Manager Pat Murphy Locked on Brewers with Chuck Freimund - "Long term relationship with the Brewers and Jackson Chourio begins!" Via the "Barrel Banter Podcast": "Chourio Extension and Winter Meetings Preview"
  8. Monday 12/4: Via the Journal Sentinel Podcast: "Brewers reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe discuss the new contract that appears to be happening for prospect Jackson Chourio, just 19 years old. He hasn't played a game of Major League Baseball, but he's now locked in as an expected cornerstone for the next decade. What kind of risk is this for the Brewers (or the player)? How have other players in his shoes fared? What does this do to the crowded outfield picture in Milwaukee? Does this change how we perceive Milwaukee's current offseason plan?"
  9. Nice video follow-up, and nice to have Barrel Banter's David Go as a Brewerfan video-form contributor:
  10. Celebrate your December birthday with --
  11. Sunday 12/3: Latest Milwaukee Tailgate Podcast - "On this week's show the guys discussed the Jackson Chourio extension from every possible angle, talked out-of-the-box trades for the Winter Meetings and past future managers."
  12. An updated initial post of this thread now includes the following header: Here are the players the Brewers could lose in the 2023 Rule 5 draft. The team will put together a list of players protected at the "AAA" level (a maximum of 38), regardless of the last level played seen below. Players not included on that list could be taken in the Minor League phase of Rule 5, and the selecting team simply then owns that player, they won't be returned under any circumstances. There are 48 names listed below. In determining who they may wish to expose to that minor league phase, it may not necessarily be the furthest away from the higher levels. Organizations have exposed players to the minor league phase at times as a de-facto favor, perhaps giving them a new opportunity, while still retaining them as depth pieces if not selected.
  13. Confirming what @damuelle hinted at earlier this week:
  14. I've added Sam Carlson to the list above though his official transaction has yet to post. Carlson has lost too much time to injury to be considered for selection this year, but I always found it odd that teams announce minor league signings officially prior to Rule 5. Just wait until the next day and post then, though the league likely would frown on that. That's how future Cy Young Award winner R.A. Dickey was taken in Rule 5! Article linked below adds a layer of intrigue to this signing.
  15. Just making sure readers did not miss this as the thread flipped to a new page:
  16. Friday 12/1: *** A reminder that we have posted multiple links within the past week at our Minor League Forum's "Offseason Rankings" and Media thread, That includes: "Reviewing the Brew's Co-hosts David Gasper and Matt Carroll welcome Brewers minor league hitting coordinator Brenton Del Chiaro to the podcast to talk some hitting. Brenton breaks down the Brewers organizational philosophy on hitting, what a hitting coordinator does, and talks about the top hitters in the Brewers system, including newly extended Jackson Chourio, Brice Turang, Joey Wiemer, Tyler Black, Brock Wilken, and so many more!"

  18. Via our very own contributor Spencer Michaelis -
  19. Box: Brisbane falls 4-2, to move to 6-5 on the season. 1B Tayden Hall (stats thru 38 AB's) 1-for-4 (double), one K. Wonderful start for LHP Brian Fitzpatrick (visit the same stat page) "Bandits starter and reigning ABL Pitcher of the Week Brian Fitzpatrick held his own for the visitors. The Aces were within striking distance in the first couple innings, with men on third and only one out. But Fitzpatrick played the escape artist and worked huge strikeouts of Greg Bird in the 1st and George Callil in the 2nd, getting out of the innings unscathed. Fitzpatrick gave up four hits on the night, but managed to toss four shutout innings (zero walks, one HBP, three K's), leaving the door open for his team to get some runs." - from the full game report The line from Fitzpatrick's two most recent starts: 9 IP, 5 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 HBP, 11 K
