  1. BOX: Tayden Hall 3-for-3 in the 7-inning 6-2 Brisbane win, including the blast above. First game of a twinbill, LHP Brian Fitzpatrick will start Game Two.
  2. Watch the strike three pitches on two of Sam Gardner’s K’s at the 01:40 minute mark.
  3. MLB.com: Here’s how the Rule 5 Draft affected teams’ Top 30 Prospects lists Pirates Lost: SS Dariel Lopez (No. 14) Top 30 replacement: SS/3B Jhonny Severino (No. 30) After losing Lopez, the lone ranked prospect selected in the Minor League portion of the Draft, Severino moved into the club's Top 30 list. The 19-year-old infielder slashed .268/.333/.391 with a 98 wRC+ in his first taste of the Dominican Summer League, and was making his United States debut in the Arizona Complex League as an 18-year-old when he was traded to the Pirates in the Carlos Santana deal close to the Trade Deadline. Initially signed as a shortstop, Severino began his pro career there, but started playing third base in 2023 and that is expected to be his long-term defensive home.
  4. Box: Brisbane wins, 11-4, to move to 8-5 on the season, 8-2 in their last ten games. 1B Tayden Hall (stats thru 51 AB's) had a welcome nice game - on base three times (double, single, HBP, two RBI). 2-for-4, one K. Perhaps dropping him down in the order from the cleanup spot to 7th helped. The insane pace of RH reliever Sam Gardner (visit the same stat page) continues. Gardner, the Murray State product who was an indy ball signing of the Crew in June, finished the game with three scoreless, retiring all nine men he faced, eight by strikeout. Gardner turns 27 on January 4th, and the Australian League has been comped to a level between High-A and AA in the past, but it doesn't matter if one is putting up this line on the moon, it's nonsensical. Gardner has eliminated the control issues he had despite otherwise fine numbers in his 2023 season with the Timber Rattlers. Gardner has now allowed just three baserunners over 10.1 scoreless IP (five appearances, one hit, two walks) while 26 of his 31 outs recorded have been via the strikeout.
  5. Thursday 12/7: Via WTMJ: Dom Cotroneo hosts Brewers Weekly - "On the heels of the Winter Meetings, Dom sits down with Mike Guerrero, the Manager of the Brewers Double-A affiliate, the Biloxi Shuckers to learn more about top prospects Jackson Chourio, Tyler Black and Jeferson Quero. Plus, a breakdown of a quiet Winter Meetings in Nashville on the latest edition of Brewers Weekly." Via the "Cream City Pod" with BrewerFanatic's own Spencer Michaelis: "Brewers Winter Meetings Wrap Up"

  7. As discussed briefly here, noting Joe Gray Jr.'s departure via Rule 5 to the KC organization. Good luck, Joe!
  8. The Mudcats have tweeted several player highlight reels from 2023 in recent days. They all can be found here.
  9. 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)
  10. 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"
  11. 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.
  12. 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?
  13. 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:
  14. 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"
  15. 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?"
  16. Nice video follow-up, and nice to have Barrel Banter's David Go as a Brewerfan video-form contributor:
  17. Celebrate your December birthday with --
  18. 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."
