Good catch, we should have added Blazek to the original post in this thread when he was outrighted. He's on the list now, thanks.

AUDIO via the Rattler Radio Soundcloud: "The first podcast of the 2017-2018 offseason is here. Kyle Lobner and Matt Erickson join Chris Mehring to discuss the 2017 Wisconsin Timber Rattlers season, Taylor Williams making his MLB Debut, and what is ahead in preparation for the 2018 season!" *** The Taylor Williams feature article Kyle penned and mentioned in the podcast can be found here.

All the audio is worthwhile for diehards, but the Brian Anderson chat with Tim Allen is just outstanding. Brian shines in chats like this even more than he does within a game setting.

VIDEO via MLB Network: Josh Hader on "Intentional Talk"

Via Adam McCalvy (and other online confirmations) -- "Milwaukee rounded out its Arizona Fall League participants with RHP's Adrian Houser, Nate Griep, Jon Perrin and LHP Quintin Torres-Costa. For Houser, it's an opportunity to compile innings, as the former Top 30 prospect continues his comeback from Tommy John surgery. The Brewers had previously named four position players to the prospect-rich league: outfielders Monte Harrison and Corey Ray and infielders Lucas Erceg and Jake Gatewood."

AUDIO via Brewers.com: "Lane Grindle's latest "Brewers on Tap" (Episode 99) talks with Ryan Braun after his 300th HR and checks in with farm director Tom Flanagan." Enjoy the whole show, but the Flanagan interview begins at the 13:45 minute mark.

Baseball America has the Instructional Camp roster -- and no, we're not going to get many updates, although Kyle Lobner (@BrewFrostyMug) has indicated he'll be in Arizona for a bit and will be filing reports. Just-turned 17-year-old RHP Michele Vassalotti is stateside, Carolina 3B Jose Cuas begins a possible conversion to pitcher, just-turned 19-year-old Mexican League signee Victor Castaneda is on board, and amazingly, the Brewers fascination with seven-year pro RHP Braulio Ortiz continues. Plenty of intriguing players on that list. Develop away, young men!

AUDIO via Matt Pauley's Brewers Extra Innings Podcast Sun. 9/10: "The Brewers are riding high after their first sweep at Wrigley Field since 2002. It follows the Crew getting swept at Cincinnati. Do the Brewers play up and down to their competition? Matt dives in on that topic and also examines how the Brewers will go forward without starter Jimmy Nelson. BP Milwaukee editor Nicholas Zettel will join Matt and give his take as well. The Brewers' Triple-A affiliate, the Colorado Springs Sky Sox, made it into the post-season but fall short in the first round. Joe Paisley covered the playoff run for Brew Crew Ball and he will join Matt to give a full recap of the Sky Sox playoff run." *** AUDIO via Milwaukee's Tailgate Podcast Mon. 9/11: "Steve, Ryan and J.P. discuss the highs and low of the week, celebrating the Brewers sweep of the Cubs, but also talking about the impact of losing pitcher Jimmy Nelson for the remainder of the season." *** AUDIO via WTMJ's quick 4-5 minute AM interviews: MONDAY - Tom Haudricourt TUESDAY - Craig Counsell *** Both via ESPN Milwaukee -- MONDAY - Sophia Minnaert TUESDAY - Sophia Minnaert *** AUDIO via Brewers.com: "Lane Grindle's latest "Brewers on Tap" (Episode 99) talks with Ryan Braun after his 300th HR and checks in with farm director Tom Flanagan." *** AUDIO via WSSP 105.7 FM's Morning Show -- TUESDAY - Adam McCalvy TUESDAY- Ed Sedar *** AUDIO via the Bill Michaels Show -- TUESDAY - Adam McCalvy TUESDAY - Ed Sedar *** AUDIO via the Drew Olson Show Monday 9/11 (You will need to create a free iHeart Radio account to listen): Tom Haudricourt (go to the 65:30 minute mark) *** AUDIO via the Drew Olson Show Tuesday 9/12 (You will need to create a free iHeart Radio account to listen): Bill Schroeder (go to the 68:15 minute mark) *** AUDIO via the Mike Heller Show Tuesday 9/12 (You will need to create a free iHeart Radio account to listen): Tom Haudricourt (go to the 91:55 minute mark)

23-year-old 2015 7th round (University of Miami) 2B/3B George Iskenderian, who was placed on the organization's suspended list back on May 14th and was never re-activated, was moved to the restricted list this week. Iskenderian started 2017 3-for-35 (three singles, 16 K's) with Biloxi. RESTRICTED LIST - The Restricted List is used for many reasons. A team can request that a player be placed on the restricted list if that player has left the team without a valid reason, or has announced his intention to retire but is still of an age or level of skill that could allow him to return to professional baseball in the future. In effect, the team states that it retains rights to the player if and when he becomes active again. A player on the restricted list cannot be signed by another team unless compensation is paid to the team who placed him on the list. The list is honored throughout organized baseball and in leagues that have working agreements to respect the contracts of organized baseball, such as Nippon Pro Baseball. The list is most often used today when a player retires at a young age without receiving his unconditional release. If he decides to return to playing, he must do so with his last team, unless a trade or other deal can be worked out.

SS Jean Carlos Carmona named to Baseball America's All-DSL squad.

First time all season the podcast cut off early, prior to the Feliciano interview -- drop me a Twitter message, guys, if you're able to adjust later and we'll repost, thanks. Chris Mehring, dedicated as he is, pieced together the full podcast after all, and the link at the top of this post now brings you to that. Thanks, Chris!

So ends yet another Link Report season, thanks to all the volunteers who sacrificed their late evenings or early mornings to bring you updates. And of course, thanks to all of you for reading, keep checking in on the Minor League Forum for offseason news. Kudos to @BrewerProspect, @BrewCrewBlue and BrewCrewBall for their coverage, more than enhancing what we've done here, in fact, planting the seeds of future retirement talk for this poster, we'll see. Big thanks to all the Milwaukee affiliates and broadcasters. And most importantly this year, go big league Brewers!!!!

Final: Helena 12, Billings 11 Brewers Beat Billings In Season Finale Helena overcomes a pair of three-run deficits to win final game in 2017 By Garrett Greene / Helena Brewers Even a 2013 Michael Ratterree reference, he was another case of not getting hyped about college-age power numbers out of the Pioneer League. *** Helena Box Score RHP's Matt Hardy and Cody Martin got to end the season on a high note. Helena Game Log No reason given for Gabriel Garcia's 5th inning departure. Switch-hitting SS Antonio Pinero finished the season 10-for-28.

AUDIO From Saturday's Pre-Game Show when the Sky Sox were up two games to one -- Manager Rick Sweet OF Johnny Davis - Praise for Biloxi Manager Mike Guerrero *** Final: Memphis 13, Colorado Springs 10 Season Ends With 13-10 Game Five Loss Heineman drives in three during a 4-for-5 afternoon By Robby Veronesi / Colorado Springs Sky Sox Tyler Heineman ended his 2017 season by driving in three runs on four hits Sunday afternoon in game five of the American Conference Championship Series. (Paat Kelly photo) *** How the game ended with the tying run on deck -- video captioned incorrectly: *** Via the Colorado Springs Gazette -- “You saw how many pitchers they went through, and they knew damn well that game wasn’t over, just like we did,” Sox manager Rick Sweet said. “That’s the way we played all year, on the road and at home. This has been the most incredible club I’ve ever had as far as competing from first pitch to last pitch from the first game to the last game. I’ve never had a team like this that consistently went out and never quit.” *** Colorado Springs Box Score 35 hits in the game, 16 for extra bases. No errors with all those balls in play. The Tim Dillard - Nick Ramirez- Tristan Archer stretch of the bullpen work let the game get away after Aaron Brooks had recovered from the disastrous first inning. Chris Colabello on base four times, Yadiel Rivera three more hits, Kyle Wren reached thrice, Troy Stokes doubled and tripled. Speaking of Stokes, here's the latest Q&A posted via themonkeynest.com.

Final: Memphis 11, Colorado Springs 8, ten innings Redbirds Tie Series In Game Four Decisive fifth game begins at Security Service Field at 1:30 PM MT Sunday (2:30 Central) By Robby Veronesi / Colorado Springs Sky Sox Tyler Heineman recorded three RBI Saturday evening in game four of the PCL American Conference Championship Series. (Paat Kelly photo) *** Colorado Springs Box Score The Redbirds are 12-0 in extra-inning games this season, per their own summary. Yadiel Rivera on base four more times, the longtime offensively-challenged infielder does get on these runs occasionally - remember that Arizona Fall League campaign he put together? Michael Blazek and Wily Peralta - ugh. Loss ruined what would have been a huge remembrance game for catcher Tyler Heineman. Colorado Springs Game Log

With the Sky Sox, RHP Tyler Cravy goes on the DL as of 9/7, with LHP Andrew Barbosa transferred back to AAA from the Biloxi paper roster.
