    Update on independent Northern League All-Star RHP Kenny Durost (Brewers 2003 - 2005)

    Huntsville Site: Steve Hammond tossed three solid innings in his first spring start and Chris Errecart clubbed a three-run home run in the Stars 8-6 win over San Antonio Wednesday in Maryvale, AZ. The Stars improved their spring training mark to 3-2 and will take on the Wichita Wranglers, the double-A affiliate of the Kansas City Royals, Thursday in Surprise, AZ. Hammond, who went 7-9 for Huntsville last season, allowed a run on two hits and fanned six in his second spring appearance. The left-hander has won a dozen times in a Stars uniform during the 2006-07 seasons. Second baseman Mike Bell and outfielder Chuckie Caufield each collected a pair of hits and knocked in a run, while Matt LaPorta doubled and scored twice. Errecart's long ball was the Stars fourth of the spring and their first in three games.

    Nashville Site: PHOENIX -- The Nashville Sounds tied the Portland Beavers (AAA-Padres), 5-5, on Wednesday afternoon at Maryvale Baseball Park, the clubs' second tie in two meetings this spring. Both teams banged out 11 hits in the contest. INF Guilder Rodriguez led the Sounds' attack with a four-hit day. Hernan Iribarren added two hits and two RBIs and Brendan Katin ripped a double as part of his 2-for-3 afternoon. Chris Spurling made the start for Nashville and allowed two runs on three hits in three innings of work. Nic Ungs (3.0 scoreless IP), Jeff Housman (1.0 scoreless IP), David Johnson (1.0 IP, 2 R), and E.J. Shanks (1.0 IP, 1 R) also appeared on the hill for the Sounds. Nashville (1-1-3) continues its spring slate on Thursday with a trip to Surprise, Ariz., where they'll take on the PCL division-rival Omaha Royals (AAA-Royals).

    Huntsville Site This Time (AA Level Game): Keep in mind players will not necessarily be assigned to the level they're playing at in spring training -- first report at this level, no updates on the prior three games... Sam Narron tossed three scoreless innings in his first start and Matt LaPorta, Milwaukee's number one pick in the 2007 draft, delivered two sacrifice flies to push the Stars past the Tennessee Smokies 3-1 Tuesday in Maryvale, AZ. The Stars improved to 2-2 in spring training action and face the San Antonio Missions, the double-A affiliate of the San Diego Padres on Wednesday afternoon at home. Ned Yost, the son of the Brewers manager, had three hits, while Michael Brantley and Chuckie Caufield each singled and scored. Narron, who went 7-9 for the Stars last season, gave up two hits and struck out a pair before giving way to Joe Bateman, who pitched last year for the Connecticut Defenders, the double-A affiliate of the San Francisco Giants. Bateman fanned four in his two scoreless innings and was followed by Patrick Ryan, who worked two shutout innings. Ryan was promoted to the Stars for the Southern League Championship series after spending the regular season at high class-A Brevard County in the Florida State League.

    Voting is now open Zelous Wheeler doing just fine, thank you, as is Noochie Varner. Callix Crabbe is deadlocked in his battle, ironically against former Brewer draftee (unsigned) Deik Scram, now a top Detroit prospect.

    Nashville Site: PHOENIX - The Nashville Sounds suffered their first spring training loss on Tuesday afternoon, falling 7-2 to the division-rival Iowa Cubs at Maryvale Baseball Park. OF Mel Stocker had two hits to lead the Sounds and drove in one of the club's two runs on the day. C J.R. Hopf drove in the other. Major Leaguer Claudio Vargas started for Nashville and went 4.0 innings, allowing two runs on six hits. Jason Shiell followed and gave up four runs in his 2 1/3 frames of action. Erasmo Ramirez (1.2 IP, 1 R) and Luis Pena (1.0 scoreless IP) finished up on the mound for the Sounds. Nashville (1-1-2) continues its spring slate on Wednesday by welcoming the Portland Beavers (AAA-Padres) to Maryvale Baseball Park for an afternoon contest.

    Very nice story on Jemile Weeks from ESPN and how close the Brewers were to signing him

    Doug Melvin with your calls, Dale Sveum, Adam McCalvy, and Assistant Scouting Director Tony Blengino on the Kendall batting 9th experiment Audio Link Thanks again to Jim Powell for his Brewerfan.net reference at the approx. 54:00 minute mark in his discussion with McCalvy, and how Adam makes use of our site. The Blengino discussion is very interesting, as Tony shares stories about some of "his" draft picks, including now-Padre Steve Garrison. Good stuff all around.

    Tuesday's Box Score: Adam Heether (double), Guilder Rodriguez (walk), Chris Errecart (single), Matt Cline, Lorenzo Cain, and Brendan Katin saw action Tuesday, as did newcomer RHP Thomas Atlee (one out behind Jeff Suppan, charged with a wild pitch, but Bill Schroeder sure put the blame on Vinny Rottino (in the dirt).

    Taylor Green was 2-for-7 (single, double) overall in the qualifying series. As one of the very youngest players on the squad, it's not surprising his playing time was limited somewhat (he started the final game as Canada had already qualified for the Olympics). As noted, above, Alex Periard pitched well in two relief appearances. Congrats to both. All box scores and stats can be found here.

    Similar to last year's, only now with bracket-style rankings: Vote for Zelous Wheeler, a # 9 seed, beginning Wednesday, we'll provide the link when available No. 8 Zechry Zinicola vs. No. 9 Zelous Wheeler -- It's the battle of the Killer Z's! Zinicola, a highly regarded Nationals pitching prospect, was defeated by Noochie Varner in the first round of the 2007 tournament. Wheeler, a 21-year-old Brewers farmhand, is making his first appearance. Which Z will prevail? This is one matchup that's destined to remain competitive until the very end. Callix Crabbe is a # 6 seed, Noochie Varner a # 9 seed. If you click on the initial bracket link, you can get previews of all the matchups.

    Nashville Site: TEMPE, Ariz. - The Nashville Sounds and Salt Lake Bees (AAA-Angels) battled to a 3-3 tie on Monday afternoon at Tempe Sports Complex, Nashville's second consecutive tie in spring training action. The Sounds held a late lead, but the Bees scored runs in the eighth and ninth against Nashville reliever Tim Dillard to even up the score. At the plate, Brad Nelson drove in two of the three Nashville runs on the afternoon. Russell Branyan went 2-for-4 with a double and SS Yohannis Perez added three hits in three at-bats to lead the offense. Left-hander Zach Jackson made the start for the Sounds and allowed one run on four hits in 4 2/3 innings but walked five batters during his 77-pitch outing. Lindsay Gulin followed with 2 1/3 frames of scoreless relief before turning things over to Dillard, who was touched for two runs (one ER) on two hits in his two innings while walking three and striking out three. Nashville (1-0-2) returns home to Maryvale Baseball Park on Tuesday to take on the division-rival Iowa Cubs in an afternoon contest.

    This year's media guide lists Cline at 5'10", 175, and I've updated the Player Index page. I'm going to do that for all the kids over the next month or so...

    In Peoria vs. the Mariners in a 17-3 rout for the good guys: Brendan Katin with a monster six-RBI game with three extra-base hits; Darren Ford 2-for-2; Michael Brantley, Mike Bell, Steffan Wilson and Matt Cline each with a base hit (Wilson and Cline doubled); Guilder Rodriguez (right field) and Martin Maldonado (catcher) also saw action -- box score details at the link. As noted, the two non-roster invite pitchers, Chris Narveson and Steve Bray, excelled Monday. In Maryvale vs. the White Sox in a 4-4 tie game: Cole Gillespie doubled, Mat Gamel, Charlie Fermaint, Stephen Chapman, Lorenzo Cain, and Zelous Wheeler got AB's, but weren't as successful as the gang against the Mariners -- again, box score at link.

    Wow, I'm watching Zelous Wheeler on MLB.TV here in the bottom of the 5th. With minor league exhibition games also taking place, you can bet the Brewers had to dig very deep into the lower levels to find kids to play the later innings in both the split squad games. It'll be fun watching the video archive this evening of the minor leaguers. We'll recap their work on the Minor League Forum late this evening.

    MLB has squared things away, Brewer audio is for the White Sox game, Mariner audio for this one.
  21. Jim Goulart
    Initially, MLB.com's audio included Brewer audio, but instead, as of game time the only audio option is Seattle's broadcast crew (Niehaus, Sims) via MLB.com.
  22. Jim Goulart
    Brewer audio via MLB.com now available. Among the ways online to "enjoy" this game is with Ken Harrelson's TV call via MLB.com. I imagine Fox Sports Net Chicago has it for TV viewers who are able.

    Nashville Site: PEORIA, Ariz. -- The Nashville Sounds and Portland Beavers (AAA-Padres) battled to a 1-1 tie on Sunday afternoon at Peoria Sports Complex. National League Cy Young winner Jake Peavy pitched the first five innings against the Sounds and held them to a run on two hits while getting in some extra work for San Diego's minor league club. The Sounds staff, however, was equal to the task, allowing only one unearned run in the contest. Chris Spurling made the start and surrendered the one unearned run on two hits in his two frames of action. Nick Ungs (2.0 IP), Jeff Housman (1.0 IP), Joe Bateman (2.0 IP), and Thomas Atlee (2.0 IP) finished up with seven scoreless frames from the hill. Outfielder Brendan Katin plated Nashville's lone run on the afternoon, driving home Brad Nelson with an RBI double. Nelson and Russell Branyan each singled for the Sounds' only other hits in the contest. Nashville (1-0-1) continues its spring slate on Monday afternoon in Tempe with a road contest against the Salt Lake Bees (AAA-Angels).

    Nashville Site: Sounds Defeat River Cats In Spring Opener PHOENIX -- The Nashville Sounds opened their 2008 spring training schedule by pounding out 16 hits in an 8-5 victory over Sacramento (AAA-A's) on Saturday afternoon at Maryvale Baseball Park. The Sounds' attack was led by OF Mel Stocker and INF Adam Heether, who each went 3-for-3 in the win over the River Cats. Stocker's afternoon included the lone Nashville home run in the contest. C Carlos Corporan knocked in two runs with a double and a triple and OF Brendan Katin also drove in a pair of runs. Major League pitchers worked the early innings on the hill for the Sounds. Eric Gagne, Salomon Torres, and Derrick Turnbow each pitched an inning before minor league free agent signee Jason Shiell pitched three innings in relief, allowing one run. Derek Miller allowed two runs over 1 1/3 frames before Robert Hinton closed out the contest with 1 2/3 scoreless innings. The Sounds (1-0) continue their spring slate on Sunday with a road game against the Portland Beavers (AAA-Padres).

    Jim Rushford has signed a minor league deal with the White Sox. From Baseball America: The lone independent Heartland Baseball League survivor in Organized Baseball, Rushford has carved out a solid Triple-A career, batting .288/.349/.405 in six seasons at the level. The HBL folded in 1998. Brewerfan Trivia -- Rushford's wife Danielle was a very nice occasional poster here back in Jim's Brewer days. *** Unfortunately, former Brewer farmhand RHP Justin Barnes was released by the Royals. He went to K.C. in the Chris Demaria deal.
