  1. Apparently Aguilar lost 30 pounds this offseason, it'll be interesting to follow his efforts with Cleveland (and his velocity).
  2. Technically you were supposed to wait until Wednesday evening, but since it was our good friend David Weiser of www.starsboxscore.com fame in on things http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif, yes, OF Brent Krause and RHP Reed Dickert were Brewer farmhands, both recently, in 2008.

  4. Kind of a unique way to link an audio interview, but new Huntsville broadcaster Chad Anderson spoke with new Stars Manager Mike Guerrero. Here's hoping that Chad will figure out a way to post his pre-game interviews in 2010, maybe not click-by-click questions, though.
  5. OF and former big league Brewer Drew Anderson, who will turn 29 this June, had to settle for an independent league gig, and signed with the St. Paul Saints of the American Association this week. If you look at the accompanying Saints' roster to the right of his profile here, you'll see two former Brewer farmhands listed. Consider yourself a true blue Link Report diehard if you can recognize them right away. Kudos to you. Otherwise, wait until Wednesday afternoon when we'll provide the answer.

  7. ON THE MOUND: Also scheduled to pitch today after Chris Narveson (subject to change) is RHP Todd Coffey, RHP John Axford and LHP Zach Braddock. MINOR DETAILS: In uniform from minor-league camp is OF Norris Hopper (#92), INF Zelous Wheeler (#95), RHP Jim Henderson (#97), RHP Mike McClendon (#98) and RHP Juan Sandoval (#94). Narveson -- Coffey -- Axford -- Braddock that's sweet!
  8. First, Adam McCalvy with some updates on the thoughts behind this morning's "B" game assignments, we'll learn more later. CHAT ROOM, CHAT ROOM, CHAT ROOM! Box score here Free webcast with Brian and Bill via MLB.com (it will also archive) here. XM radio subscribers can listen in on the drive home from work on 185 (probably the Royals' radio broadcast). Gameday, which is pretty much functioning normally for most of the action now, can be found here. *** We know posts may be light here during spring training, and while posts are still welcome, we will be pushing our Spring Training Chat Room during all our In-Game Threads. When you look at the list of all our Forums, you'll see how many are in the chat room at any one time. Schmooze with fellow Brewer fans who are into the team enough that they've made listening to spring training games a part of their day.
  9. FYI -- The J-S reports that the Brewers plan to stretch out Chuck Lofgren and return him to a starting role.
  10. Another one of Josh's (agent39) guys joins the Indians' organization as RH reliever and former 40-man roster player Omar Aguilar (career stats) is traded to Cleveland so the Brewers can retain Rule 5 LHP Chuck Lofgren in their system. Lofgren is no longer on the Brewers' 40-man roster (which is now at 38), and has been re-assigned to minor league camp. He's likely looking at a Nashville AAA assignment to begin the minor league season. Discussion can take place in the major league thread, thanks.
  11. From Tom H.: MEDICAL REPORT: Center field prospect Logan Schafer, who suffered a groin strain before the start of big-league camp and did not report, is still plagued by that injury in minor-league camp. Farm director Reid Nichols said Schafer recently was shut down for a couple of days to see if complete rest would help. CACTUS JUICE: It's not difficult to tell the injured players in the minor-league camp. If restricted in any way, they wear red-cross jerseys instead of the normal blue attire. Second baseman Brett Lawrie, a first-round draft pick in 2008 draft, wore red during the Monday workout because of a slight groin strain that was not deemed serious.
  12. MiLB finally convinced the Sounds to convert their website to the MiLB umbrella. Insert *sigh* here. The Sounds had been one of the few holdouts across baseball, and their site was just fantastic. Hopefully we won't lose the daily media notes and the pre-game interviews. It appears as though there's a multimedia section, we'll see what comes of it. RIP, old nashvillesounds.com.
  13. For those of you with MLB.com video subscriptions, you can watch Michael Fiers' 8th inning in the archive here. Go the 2 hour, 15 minute mark. It takes place during a dugout interview with Rickie Weeks, which is entertaining on its own. Nick Weglarz, Brian Bixler, and Carlos Rivero -- no soup for you! 2009 stats for the "young" man (25 in June 2010) -- 59 K's, 5 BB's, 40.2 IP, 1.33 ERA, 0.71 WHIP, are you kidding? It's scouting stories like this one (22nd round) and John Axford off-the-scrap-heap-in-Canada that should make everyone a fan of our Link Report updates on the farmhands. Love it, rock on Michael!
  14. Funny how you see certain names, and it rings a bell... RHP Nick Slack posted some filthy peripheral numbers in his time in the system. He shared closer duties with Dana Eveland at Helena in 2003, and saw bullpen action at high-A the following two seasons, all while age-appropriate for league (154 K's in 136.2 innings, with only 39 walks). But he was the very first Brewer farmhand to be suspended for PDE use when he was Brevard County's 22-year-old closer in 2005. Slack retired from baseball at the end of that season. He would find independent league work in 2006, but apparently has not pitched since. The Pensacola Pelicans of the independent American Association signed him to a contract this week.

  16. Mark Rogers and Amaury Rivas optioned to AA Huntsville. Rogers now has one option remaining, so he can be optioned in 2011 as well, must be in Milwaukee to stay by 2012 if so. Rivas now has two options remaining, so he can be optioned in 2011 and 2012, must be in Milwaukee to stay by 2013 if so. Option info is reflected on our 40-man roster page (currently at 39).
  17. A very busy Tim Allen conducted these WSSP interviews that aired this past weekend: Manager Ken Macha Pitching Coach Rick Peterson Advance Scout Chris Bosio Chris Narveson Alcides Escobar Jim Edmonds Claudio Vargas Gregg Zaun Casey McGehee Scott Schoeneweis
  18. Over in this post in the minor league forum, we link to WSSP 1250 audio interviews with Jonathan Lucroy, Angel Salome, Lorenzo Cain, and Mat Gamel. In case you hadn't visited that thread earlier, there are other interviews interspersed throughout the linked thread, a chance for you to catch up if you missed them.
  19. WSSP Audio with Tim Allen: Jonathan Lucroy Angel Salome Lorenzo Cain http://wssp.radiotown.com/audio/springtraining/031410_TimwCain.mp3Mat Gamel EDIT: Fixed Gamel link.
  20. ON THE MOUND: Also scheduled to pitch today after Yovani Gallardo (subject to change) is LHP Scott Schoeneweis, RHP Claudio Vargas and LHP John Halama. MINOR DETAILS: In uniform from minor-league camp is RHP Michael Fiers (#97), RHP Jake Odorizzi (#96) and RHP Damon Krestalude (#95). *** Not rooting for any of the four "main" pitchers to struggle, but it would be very nice to see any or all of the minor leaguers given the TV availability.
  21. MLB Network lists the game as being on their network from 4:00 - 7:00 Central (one hour tape delay, perhaps?).
  22. CHAT ROOM, CHAT ROOM, CHAT ROOM! Box score here FSN TV (Live at 3:00 PM plus replay at 7:00 PM) Video also available via MLB.com with subscription, and MLB.com also lists audio available as well. Does this mean the audio feed from the TV game is available for free? You'll have to find out on your own come game time. NOTE THE NEW 3:05 START TIME AS ARIZONA DOES NOT FOLLOW DAYLIGHT SAVINGS. Gameday, which is pretty much functioning normally for most of the action now, can be found here. *** We know posts may be light here during spring training, and while posts are still welcome, we will be pushing our Spring Training Chat Room during all our In-Game Threads.

Schmooze with fellow Brewer fans who are into the team enough that they've made listening to (and today, watching!) spring training games a part of their day. Shortly before game time, media notes should be available here, with scheduled pitchers and players from minor league camp listed. Edit: "CDT" in the title http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif--1992
  23. Tom H. on Amaury Rivas -- good stuff
  24. ON THE MOUND: After Jeff Suppan, also scheduled to pitch today (subject to change) is RHP Carlos Villanueva, LHP Mitch Stetter and RHP Chris Smith. MINOR DETAILS: Joining the team from minor-league camp this afternoon is 1B Chris Errecart (#99), INF Eric Farris (#90), OF Caleb Gindl (#92), INF Zelous Wheeler (#95), RHP Mike Jones (#93) and RHP Juan Sandoval (#94).
  25. Zach Braddock again -- we need a side-by-side with Jeff Suppan -- AP Photo via the J-S site http://media.jsonline.com/images/521*600/ap-brewers-white-sox-spring-baseballa(2).jpg
