    Wisconsin shut down Lake County, 3-0. The Timber Rattlers received strong pitching from Kyle Heckathorn (4 IP, 0 ER) and Hiram Burgos (4 IP, 0 ER). Southpaw Jonathan Pokorny picked up the save by working the ninth. D'Vontrey Richardson had a double and scored twice to lead the offense. Sean Halton knocked in two runs. *** And Kyle Heckathorn is the most efficient of the four-inning shutout starters. Honestly, certainly since Brewerfan's 2001 inception, there simply hasn't been a time when the overall promise of the pitchers in the organization has overshadowed the position players so. This isn't your Fielder-Weeks-Braun minor league system, everyone. Takes some getting used to, doesn't it? Most of us are ready for the renewed and justified mound optimism...

    Kinston dropped Brevard County, 7-5. Efrain Nieves gave the Manatees a good start, keeping the Indians off the board through four. Michael Fiers and Evan Frederickson followed Nieves and were roughed up a bit, allowing seven runs between them. Erik Miller paced the offense with two hits. *** The lefty Nieves was even more efficient than Michael Bowman earlier (by a pitch). Seems like a typo when Fiers struggles, not so much with Frederickson. Jeremy Jeffress finished up with a clean inning.

    Huntsville edged Akron, 7-6. A late rally gave the Stars a lead, thanks in part to a clutch two-run double by Sean McCraw. Donovan Hand, Ruben Flores, Jim Henderson and Rob Hinton pitched scoreless innings in relief. Dan Merklinger started and gave up a three-run homer in the first, but settled down to hold the Aeros scoreless the rest of his appearance. *** Caleb Gindl was the DH here, and it may be time for Adam McCalvy to inquire about Brett Lawrie's status for us. With Chris Errecart at first base, Steffan Wilson reminds us he can handle third base as well. An 0-for-2 day on the basepaths...

    Saturday's boxes, all against the Indians' organization -- Nashville downed Columbus, 4-2, in Saturday's action. Trent Oeltjen hit a three-run homer to provide most of the Sounds offense. RHP Michael Bowman started and tossed four scoreless innings. Brandon Kintzler, Tim Dillard, and John Axford each threw a scoreless frame out of the bullpen. *** Just 46 pitches for the soon-to-be 23-year-old Bowman in his four innings -- not overlooked by all on these forums, but the 2008 9th round pick out of VMI does fly under the radar. The roster juggling is done on an individual level for these games, as you'd think Bowman is most likely targeted for Huntsville...

    Tom H. was kind enought to capture Ueck's speech in text for his blog. Thanks, Tom. No mention of any skit, my Great Khali moment might have been backstage only http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif.

    Follow-up from Boston Any Brewer-related quotes are based on the earlier quotes from several days ago. Seems like he has a legitimate chance if he shows them something this week, actually.

    Ueck did the first few innings of Saturday's game on WTMJ. I'm definitely paraphrasing here, but he said he had been working on the hands around the neck thing with a new guy/giant, and he was telling him not to really squeeze. It wouldn't surprise me at all if the The Great Khali came out on stage at one point and recreated that with Bob, especially since Khali is only brought on for comedy schtick at this point (is he injured, or just useless as most of us suspect?) Man, they edited the heck out of that show, it obviously can't be recreated in 40 minutes (plus commercials). Ted DiBiase gave a nice from-the-heart non-scripted speech, I thought.

    Wisconsin defeated Dayton, 8-2. Wayne Dedrick paced the offense with three hits and two RBI. Khris Davis hit two doubles and scored three times. Sean Halton added a home run. Maverick Lasker started and allowed a run in four innings. Kristian Bueno, Stosh Wawrzasek, and Andy Sauter had scoreless outings. *** Look who is stateside -- last summer's Dominican Summer League star, 22-year-old C/DH Jhonatan Javier.

    Lynchburg edged Brevard County, 7-6. Juan Sanchez collected three hits and Chad Stang hit an inside-the-park home run. Wily Peralta was sharp in four innings of work. He walked three but didn't allow a hit and struck out three. *** Rough outing for RHP R.J. Seidel. Haven't added them up, but INF Connor Lind seems to be having multiple-hit games often this spring after struggling in Maryvale in '09 (.205). LHP Matt Costello is like Caleb Thielbar in the prior post, 23 years old, 43-to-9 K-to-BB ratio, 2.06 ERA vs. rookie competition last summer...

    Carolina beat Huntsville, 6-3. Mark Rogers was impressive in his four-inning start, allowing just a hit and a walk while striking out four. Matt Cline, Max Walla, and Lee Haydel had two hits apiece to pace the Stars offense. *** No Brett Lawrie, as we hinted at earlier. Love seeing 23-year-old LHP Caleb Thielbar with an appearance, he posted a 48-to-8 K-to-BB ratio with a 1.53 ERA against younger rookie competition last year. INF Matt Cline hitting like he means it after a season off. RHP Nick Green surrendered three unearned runs in his inning -- have to pitch around the defense sometimes...

    The next four boxes are from Thursday's games -- the clubs played intrasquad games on Friday -- Louisville had its way with Nashville, 11-3. Chris Cody, Mike McClendon , and David Johnson had difficult outings. Ray Olmedo had two hits, including a triple, and Brendan Katin hit a solo home run.

    The Brewers have signed catcher Ben Johnson to a minor league contract. Look for him to back up either Angel Salome in Nashville or Jonathan Lucroy in Huntsville. The 28-year-old switch-hitter spent the past six seasons in the Angels' system after being their 23rd round pick in 2004 out of the University of Washington, splitting each of the past two seasons between AAA and AA. Career stats Photo Johnson has yet to see big league time. He did participate in the Arizona Fall League in 2007.

    Semi-transaction update from the J-S: Right-hander Chris Smith and OF Adam Stern have been told they won’t make the opening day roster and will be sent to Nashville, but they’ll both remain with the team through the end of camp and for the two exhibition games at Miller Park before the season starts.

    New Sounds' broadcaster Stu Paul has been in Arizona all this past week and has maintained a blog, be sure to catch up on the older posts on the right-hand sidebar. While there, he's been archiving many audio interviews, catch up there as well. I need to catch up as well, but for instance, Angel Salome tells us why he didn't make it as a second baseman. We'll let you know when additions are made to the archived list going forward.
