    Ryan's independent league team has now re-signed him -- Ryan returns to Bridgeport for his sixth season of professional baseball and second in the Atlantic League. In 21 appearances last year with the Bluefish, the righthander recorded an impressive 0.73 ERA with 25 strikeouts, four saves and held opposing hitters to a .204 batting average over 24.1 innings of work. In 2008, the 26-year-old made his first appearance at the Double-A level with Huntsville (Brewers) of the Southern League. In 39 games, he posted a 2.52 ERA with six saves and 38 strikeouts over 61 innings of work. In 188 career minor league appearances, Ryan has a record of 18-16 with a 2.81 ERA. He has recorded 18 saves and 266 strikeouts over 333 innings pitched, while holding opposing sluggers to a .242 batting average.

    It's an important topic, please keep it focused and on the task at hand. The prior thread had gotten unwieldy and hard to follow, time to refresh. The previous thread had reached over 250 posts, there's still seven starters in the big picture, so let the discussion continue.
  7. Jim Goulart
    As a moderator, I'm not even sure where to begin with splitting this thread from its two divergent tangents, only one of which discusses the title at hand. For the sake of everyone's sanity, I'm closing this thread and beginning a new, hopefully less unwieldy and more on point, discussion of the important "rotation battle".

    ON THE MOUND: Also scheduled to pitch today (subject to change) is RHP John Axford, RHP Carlos Villanueva and RHP Chris Smith. MINOR DETAILS: Joining the team from minor-league camp today is OF Erik Miller (#93), INF Juan Sanchez (#90), C Austin Stockfisch (#98), RHP Jim Henderson (#97) and RHP Mark Willinsky (#99).

    Anthony Witrado blogs that RHP Tim Dillard has been reassigned to minor league camp and he discussed Dillard with Ken Macha. He also snuck in news that Chris Capuano and David Riske would likely begin with Brevard County when ready to go, which makes sense from a rehab standpoint.

    Rotoworld update A bit of a relief, actually, for most Brewer fans. Hopefully Scott has a good life ahead with his kids despite the loss of his wife last summer.

    Chris Mehring wraps up his final day. Have a great return trip to Appleton, and thanks again. Colby, I'll try and review last year's spring training game thread and see if there were any real hints and surprises. Shane Justis is a guy you hardly hear about, but deserves a chance to be the starting 2B at Nashville. But if he doesn't, does Eric Farris get bumped two levels along with Brett Lawrie, allowing Lawrie to go to AA? There may be enough arms to keep Wisconsin's staff buoyant enough to allow the two big boys, Arnett and Heckathorn, to make the jump to Brevard. The two do seem to be tied at the hip for now, so like everybody else, who can wait? Bring it on, we're ready.... If there's one thing we know, assignments can be very last-minute. Taylor Green was an afterthought addition for West Virginia in 2007, and he goes on to be the minor league player of the year. As much as we appreciate all our friends with the Brewer affiliates, we can promise you this. They do not whisper anything about their final rosters until the gentlemen up top say they can, and we totally respect that. So we wait until Tuesday the 6th, most likely, while basking in the glow of the Brewers' Opening Day win.

    The Dodgers' kids were apparently too a-scared to face our boys, so Wisconsin and Brevard County went head-to-head Monday. Chris Mehring with the initial details, more from him in the AM... Plus day 4 pictures and more Day 4 pictures

    No Helena boxes yet, there were a few of those last spring. Just a reminder a player's placement does not reflect his eventual team standing. And unfortunately, there will be several spring releases down the road. Thanks again to the Brewers and their affiliate partners for allowing us to bring these boxes to you. Relatively meaningless, I imagine, but fun to review...

    Wisconsin beat Cedar Rapids, 9-7. Carlos George had two doubles as part of a three-hit day. Peter Fatse and Steven Braun added two hits apiece. On the pitching side, Chad Robinson had the only scoreless outing. Andre Lamontagne, Maverick Lasker, and Rob Currie were all touched up for runs in their appearances. *** It'd be something to see the once-heralded Robinson really come back after 2008 shoulder surgery. Did Chris Mehring refer to Lamontagne as "Drew"? Perhaps he prefers that to Andre...

    Brevard County edged Rancho Cucamonga, 4-3. Eric Arnett started and allowed a run in three innings of work. Kyle Heckathorn followed and struck out four in three scoreless, hitless innings. Nick Tyson tossed two scoreless before Rigoberto Almonte struggled some. In fact, in the wacky world of spring training, it appears the game was allowed to end when Almonte reached his pitch count, even though the Angels' kids were threatening to steal the game. OF Robbie Garvey is a newcomer from the College of Southern Nevada who will make his pro debut this year. Fellow non-drafted free agent catcher Tony Pechek saw action in Maryvale last season and has the perfect name for a pro athlete, as it's pronounced "Paycheck". Well, once he reaches the bigs, anyway...

    I don't think we'll see Friday's boxes, but here's Sunday's against the Angels' farm system, including the most impressive, we'll lead off with AA Huntsville -- thanks to Buck Rogers for the heads-up. Five Huntsville pitchers combined to no-hit Arkansas in a 4-0 victory. Alex Periard tossed the first three innings and was followed by Rafael Lluberes, Mark Willinsky, Brandon Ritchie, and Brandon Rapoza. Offensively, Brett Lawrie was 2-for-4 with a double and a triple. Steffan Wilson added three hits of his own. *** Notation was made that Hernan Iribarren was one of the longet tenured Brewers upon his trade to Texas. The southpaw Lluberes is now entering his 10th year in the system!

    What exactly did you see in Bourgeois that you liked? I thought that he was brutal, and looked completely lost at the plate. Going further, considering the #5 outfielder last year at this time was Chris Duffy, I think that Edmonds is definitely a step up, no matter how old he is. He struck out seven times in 37 AB's (not hideous), but a .520 OPS in that same sample isn't going to wow anybody. Just thought he was entering his age 28 season in 2010, but Bourgeois has experience all over the infield as well, and basically we're talking about a need to move runners, steal a base, etc. -- 5th outfielder, right? John Briggs discussed it in a way I agreed with back at the time of his waiver claim release. By the way, Adam Stern is having a decent camp, (1.087 OPS in the small camp sample), and with Trent Oeltjen's reassignment to minor league camp today, could be the default beneficiary if Edmonds bails out. Bourgeois would have provided more than Stern. Realize that I'm not making a capital case of this, nor did Briggs in the link.

    Brian and Bill are indicating that Chris Narveson was outstanding today, and faced several Ranger regulars in his "B" game.

    Both Josh Butler and Adam Heether have two options remaining, meaning they can be sent down as often as necessary in 2011 and 2012 as well.

    Witrado at the J-S: The Brewers optioned RHP Josh Butler and INF Adam Heether to Nashville and OF Trent Oeltjen was returned to minor league camp. *** Both Butler and Heether have two options remaining, meaning they can be sent down as often as necessary in 2011 and 2012 as well.

    Ray Olmedo Career Statistics -- he'll be 29 May 31st and will likely be in Nashville He was not on the Rangers' 40-man roster and was re-assigned to their minor league camp on Sunday. At this time, no word on any "out clauses" or such, as we've been reading about a bit with others as of late.
