    Brewers farmhand RHP Tate Budnick, a non-drafted signee in 2018 who split time in Maryvale and Helena that summer, missed all of 2019 with Tommy John surgery, performed last May. Tate was a guest on the northwest-based Diamonds and Roses podcasts to discuss his baseball history to date, starting back as a three-year-old. Part One covers his early baseball life (pre-Brewers). Enjoy that if you wish, but more relevant for fans here would be Part Two which includes the need for a quick turnaround once the Brewers expressed interest in signing him post-draft (44:40 minute mark). Nice insights into that process and the MLB rehabbers who helped guide Tate post-surgery.

    Our post last August 16th: Two members of the DSL Brewers have been brought stateside to Maryvale's Blue Squad -- Only 18 years old, Panamanian RHP Ariel Vega debuted very late in 2018 with two DSL appearances. *** Via Baseball America we learn that Vega has been released within the past month. A bit surprising after performing well in the DSL and earning a peek stateside. We also learn via BA that Charlie Meyer was released, hopefully just from a paper perspective on the playing side. As the article below from last April indicated, Meyer's role in the organization was developing on the coaching side, so perhaps that's still the case.

    Adding to the list: The "Locked on Brewers" podcasts By the way, Tim Allen's WSSP "Hot Stove Weekly" broadcasts have been killing it, with 90-minute commercial-free after-show podcasts archived that are jammed with interviews from start to finish. Nice chat with Brandon Woodruff (14:15 minute mark) on the latest episode. Over the past week, each of the links above has provided at least one new podcast with the exception of the Journal Sentinel, although Tom Haudricourt spoke with Mike Heller this week (96:30 minute mark).

    I've enjoyed this thread. The current position player group, especially around the infield, is as thin as at any time I can remember, and we've been here since 2001. Not to say it's devoid of future big league contributors, but taken from the most realistic view, it's not good. More to dream on with the arms, but that crop isn't spectacular, it's mildly solid.

    MUNDELL PICKED UP BY MILWAUKEE BREWERS WINNIPEG, Manitoba – The Winnipeg Goldeyes announced Friday that the Milwaukee Brewers have purchased the contract of right-handed pitcher Garrett Mundell. Mundell was acquired along with right-handed pitcher Garrett Harris and left-handed pitcher Dominic Mazza from the Frontier League’s les Aigles de Trois-Rivieres on January 7th in exchange for cash. Mundell was the 2019 Can-Am League Relief Pitcher of the Year, posting a 2.32 ERA in 39 appearances over 42.2 innings. The Lake Forest, California native led the Can-Am League with 20 saves, which also set a Trois-Rivieres single-season record. Mundell struck out 52 batters, walked 12, and allowed just two home runs. The 26-year-old right-hander did not allow an earned run in 32 of his 39 appearances. Mundell has a career 2.10 ERA in five professional seasons with a 32 percent strikeout rate in 162.2 innings of work. The 6-foot-6, 245-pound Mundell was drafted by the New York Yankees in the 23rd round in 2015 out of Fresno State University and has finished with a 2.64 ERA or lower in four of his first five years as a professional. Mundell is the first Goldeye to have his contract purchased in 2020. The Goldeyes have now sold the contracts of 79 players all-time to Major League organizations. *** As you can see from the Baseball Reference link above, Mundell has never pitched above low-A ball, but as a soon-to-be 27-year-old, if he breaks spring camp in April, it would likely be with Carolina or perhaps even Biloxi.

    Places where you can catch up on December's and January archives - be aware of time stamps, but many of the conversations remain relevant if you just place yourself at that date: Matt Pauley's "Brewers Extra Innings" Podcasts and Thursday Night "Brewers Weekly" Shows *** "Brewers on Tap" Podcasts - the Josh Lindblom interview is definitely worthwhile *** The Milwaukee Tailgate Podcasts *** WSSP's Brewers audio, including "Hot Stove Weekly" episodes *** Recent Brent Suter interview *** The 12/18 Journal Sentinel podcast

    The now-closed 2019 Transaction Thread can be found here. *** Via Baseball America, we learn that the Brewers have released LHP Cam Roegner. The 26-year-old Beloit native & 22nd round pick in '16 draft out of Bradley had a stellar 2018 season with Carolina (19 starts, 2.33 ERA) but had a tougher go in Biloxi last summer (1.495 WHIP). (Sorry, clancyfile, who was a big proponent.)

    Brewers also lost Nate Griep, Bryan Torres and Jordan Brink in the AAA phase. Brewers had 57 players eligible. They could have protected the maximum of 38 at the AAA level, which would have meant they could not be lost in the Minor League phase of Rule 5. More likely they would have protected 36 or 37 if they planned on making Minor League Phase Rule 5 picks of their own. So approximately 19 or 20 players were exposed by being listed below the AAA level, and the four players above were among them. We do know in the past that the Brewers have exposed players as "favors" in order to give them a chance at a new start -- Eric Farris was one. That may have been the case here, particularly with Nate Griep (as this quote from the Brewers indicates). His bump to AAA by the Crew was delayed for sure. In nearly all years (we've managed to get the list once or twice, but not this year), the farmhands don't know if they were listed on the AAA or AA level. The only four who know for sure they were on the AA list are the four players who were taken.

    As many rounds as a team has open 40-man space for. Padres picked three in 2017, and all made the Opening Day roster, including the Brewers' Miguel Diaz.

    I imagine most readers here at Brewerfan are regular listeners of Matt Pauley's weekly Brewers Extra Innings podcasts. Brad Ford of BrewCrewBall broke down all the levels of the system in one conversation that was split over three weeks of broadcasts. Do catch up with Matt for the full podcasts, especially the most recent from Monday night 12/2 (Rookie Level), but here are your links and starting points for the minor league chats -- AAA and AA (07:00 minute mark) High-A and A-Ball (14:45 minute mark) Rookie Level (20:00 minute mark)
