Tuesday 12/20: Via WSSP's Steve "Sparky" Fifer: "Ben Badler of Baseball America did the yearly article of projecting the Brewers lineup for three years into the future. He discussed that and just how good Jackson Chourio could be for the Crew. Could Chourio eventually be the #1 prospect in baseball?"

2017-2018 catcher Tyler Heineman listed as well.

We never did learn what sidelined 2021 18th round RHP Ryne Moore (Old Dominion) as of June 22nd after six strong starts with Carolina, followed by six less impressive starts with Wisconsin.

Translated: "Jesús Chirinos was the MVP of today's game against Leones | 3-2 | with 4 RBIs out of the 8 of @aguilasdelzulia ? that stopped the losing streak of 11 consecutive losses." *** Jesús Chirinos was key with the wood in this valuable eaglet victory and for this he is the MVP of the match ?

Was the PTBNL sent to the Mets September 2017 for Neil Walker.

Fangraphs has posted extended video of seven (so far) Brewers prospects, perhaps the ones of interest in terms of limited viewings prior are the two below. Wasn't a great collection of Luis Lara swings here: *** Thirty-plus minutes of Jacob Misiorowski:

The Brewers are one of the very few organizations who seem to announce week-before-Christmas releases each year. Not cool.

Among those finding new minor league homes: C Kekai Rios (as hinted at above) - to the Blue Jays in Minor League Phase Rule 5 UT Jamie Westbrook - Yankees LHP Nick Ramirez - Yankees (Ramirez now 33 years old, helps to be a LHP) INF C.J. Hinojosa - Marlins LHP Tommy Milone - Mariners C Max McDowell - Phillies RHP Ryan Weber - Yankees RHP Deolis Guerra - Athletics RHP Chi Chi Gonzalez - Marlins RHP Aaron Brooks - Athletics OF Abraham Almonte - Mets

Early Sunday AM: Catcher Alex Hall homered singled and walked in Perth's 15-8 win, shortened to six innings by Mother Nature. The switch-hitter sports a monster .326/.406/.506 line through 85 AB's back in the comfort of his native land. *** The Brewers-heavy Brisbane team bounced back from a rare loss with a 13-3 romp. Up-to-date Brisbane stats (all players): RHP Brannon Jordan, LHP Justin King and RHP James Meeker all saw relief action, check out their lines at the box score. 13 stolen bases in 15 tries for second baseman Bob Moore, who singled twice in five at-bats - also walked, scored twice, drove in two, OPS sits at a healthy .896. Huge game for catcher Darrien Miller, 4-for-5 with two doubles, R, three RBI, lifting his OPS to .805.

Winter League Action from Saturday, December 17 INF Owen Miller – Playing third base, 1-for-3, BB (.316 AVG, .699 OPS in 38 AB's) – in Ponce’s 3-1 loss Owen Miller's new teammate, Victor Caratini, 0-for-5 with two K's as the designated hitter in his winter debut (batted 3rd, Miller 5th) 2B Andruw Monasterio – 1-for-4, R (.323 AVG, .864 OPS) – in Caribes’ 4-1 loss RHP Luis Contreras – 1 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 0 BB, 1 K in Lara's 5-4 loss; 19 K in 12 IP, but a 1.667 WHIP (6.75 ERA) DH Mario Feliciano – 0-for-4, 1 K (.194 AVG, .454 OPS in 98 AB's) – we'll continue to list Feliciano until his DFA limbo is resolved

In our initial post in this thread, these Mariners, Braves, Athletics and Guardians trades have been updated to the more recent ones: Mariners (05/02/21) -- Acquired C Jacob Nottingham in exchange for cash considerations Braves (08/16/22) -- Acquired cash considerations in exchange for 1B/3B/DH Tyler White Athletics (09/03/18) -- Acquired cash in exchange for RHP Aaron Brooks Guardians (11/22/21) -- Acquired RHP J.C. Mejia in exchange for a player to be named later (C David Fry)

Via @josephzarr in the Minor League Transaction Thread: "24 year-old LHP Luis Amaya was signed by the Brewers as a Minor League Free Agent. He has been assigned to Double-A Biloxi. He spent 2022 in the White Sox organization." *** Amaya has made 14 relief appearances with Caribes in Venezuela (teammate of infielder Andruw Monasterio)., stats available at the Baseball Reference link above. It appears his most recent appearance was on December 8th, so while we will monitor things as we do daily, Amaya's winter season may be done.

Brisbane wins again early Friday AM, 9-7. W: Justin King (W, 1-1) 2.79 L: Nick Belzer (L, 1-2) 4.41 S: James Meeker (S, 7) 0.00 That's a win and a save for current Brewers, and a loss for a former Brewer farmhand, who pitched in the independent American Association in 2022. We'll talk more pitching in a bit, but the story of this game is Mr. Bob Moore: Moore finished 4-for-5, 2 R, 3 RBI, 2 SB, one throwing error. Catcher Darrien Miller could have shared some of Moore's wealth in this one, 0-for-5, two SB's against. It was a rough night of control for starter Cameron Wagoner - 4.1 IP, 1 H, 4 R, 5 BB, 1 HBP, 5 K. His bullpen mate couldn't strand any of the three Wagoner runners inherited. LHP Justin King stabilized things with two scoreless frames (only baserunner a walk). Speaking of inherited runners, RH closer James Meeker probably didn't think he'd be entering the game when the bottom of the 9th began, as the Bandits were up 9-4. But his bullpen mate (another non-Brewer) allowed the first three men in the final inning to reach. With the tying run on deck (thus the save situation), Meeker went pop out, RBI single, two-RBI single, walk to again load the bases, and suddenly the winning run was on 1st base with only one out. Meeker bore down with another pop out and a K to end things. Remarkably, Meeker's ERA remains at 0.00 through 13.1 IP despite some inherited runner troubles here and in at least one other contest. *** Catcher Alex Hall doubled and singled for Perth in an 8-1 rout of Adelaide. One runner successfully stole, but Hall's 2-for-4 night (BB, R, RBI) lifted his Aussie OPS to .905 (.333/.412/.493) through 75 AB's.

New minor league free agent signee RHP Christian Mejias is a teammate of RHP Arnaldo Hernandez in Venezuela. He has struggled in seven games (five starts) as seen in his Baseball Reference line here. Looks like I'll need to update the links on our tracking page to all B-Ref, in order to get the most complete season-to-date figures.

The Brewers have signed one of the younger minor league free agents available, 23-year-old RHP Christian Mejias, who wrapped up a seven-year association with the Astros organization last fall. Mejias, a native of Venezuela, topped out at High-A, as you can review on the linked Baseball Reference page above.
