    We will begin to see some formal minor league roster announcements soon. The formal announcement will come directly from the Timber Rattlers, not the Brewers. All four minor league affiliates will likely send out their press releases within an hour or so of each other once the Brewers have given them the official go-ahead to do so. Opening Night is Thursday 4/6! NOTE: Last season, the affiliates released their rosters on Monday AM (as if the Brewers' big league season opener didn't make it a busy enough day!) Feel free to link to any formal notices you see here. Often we learn via farmhand tweets, who has been assigned where, prior to the formal affiliate announcements. We'll link to any of those posts in this thread as they come out. As you might know, we use the "Your 2017" threads to post and link to feature stories that are outside the scope of game activity covered in the Daily Link Report. These threads have become among the most popular for viewing here, and we look forward to kicking them off formally. Please don't speculate here at this time, this is an anxious time for many on the farm, and unfortunately we're also likely going to learn about more player releases in the next few days, in addition to those players excited about their assignments.

    TWEET - 2016 6th round catcher Payton Henry, 19 years old (20 in June), assigned to extended Maryvale spring training coming off a nice spring, and one would think has a nice chance to be on the Helena roster in June.

    18-year-old Rafael Brito, a Dominican shortstop (right-handed bat) listed at 6'2", 180, has been signed by the Brewers, as per Brewers.com and MiLB.com player pages. He's sure to begin with the Dominican Summer League Brewers, and I've come to learn that "Rafael Brito" is about as common a name as "Jim Johnson". In other words, all we got is the name, vitals, and hometown, meaning we'll look fondly back on this specific post when Brito is inducted into the Hall of Fame as a Brewer in 2042, after a 15-year big league career and the five-year waiting period for election.

    Nothing's official until the Brewers/Rattlers say so, but looks like indy ball signee RHP Luke Barker (or someone Barker knows) gave an indication to his former college that he'll be on the Wisconsin roster (tweet). Barker recently turned 25, but this will be his affiliated ball debut. Don't roll your eyes, ask Mike Fiers about that age and timeline...

    From earlier this offseason -- *** This tweet's for you, Briggs. New client @SeanHalton11 has agreed to terms with an American League team. Stay tuned for details. #Brewers #FreeAgency #JMG Turns out to be the Tigers, congrats again. *** Unfortunately, both Caleb Gindl and Sean Halton were released this week, as per Matt Eddy of Baseball America. Hate to see that after working so hard to get back to affiliated ball via the independent league route. Other Brewers alumni released this week were former Rule 5 pick Colin Walsh by the Braves and LHP Trevor Seidenberger by the Padres. Seidenberger, if you recall, was traded to San Diego by the Brewers for OF Rymer Liriano. As of this post, Liriano is hanging on for a big league roster spot with the White Sox as camp winds down. Chicago claimed him off waivers from the Brewers last October.

    From Eric Fryer's Wikipedia page -- Fryer was drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers as a catcher and left fielder in the tenth round of the 2007 Major League Baseball Draft out of Ohio State. Fryer started his professional career with the Helena Brewers in 2007. Fryer spent the 2008 season with the West Virginia Power where he won the South Atlantic League batting title and was voted into the leagues All-Star game. He batted .335 with 10 home runs and 70 RBI on the year. On February 4, 2009, Fryer was traded to the New York Yankees in exchange for Chase Wright. *** Fryer (Baseball Reference) has carved out a nice little sojourny MLB career, and will be Yadi Molina's backup to begin 2017.

    Tweets via FanGraphs' Eric Longenhagen: Lewis Brinson has hit a ball 450ft (HR) and run a 4.15 to first so far tonight. Marcos Diplan 91-94, command & slider both inconsistent. Didn't see changeup because he didn't get into favorable count *** Brad Krause of Miller Park Prospects: Marcos Diplan tosses four shutout innings to close things out and the Brewers win 3-0. Mauricio Dubon with a leadoff triple and Lewis Brinson crushes a two-run bomb on a fastball in from Drew Gagnon for a 2-0 Brewers lead in Tempe. The combined AAA/AA team won 2-1 behind Jimmy Nelson. Solo home runs from Nick Noonan and Art Charles accounted for the only Brewers runs. Didn't see the score of the Carolina game but Lucas Erceg put on a defensive show at third base, making several nice barehanded plays. Three scoreless innings for Aaron Wilkerson thus far. Only one hit allowed and five strikeouts.
