    Just saying that even from my New England distance, I'm really enjoying the insights provided by the season ticket holders within this thread.

    Puerto Rico, Mexico to play for Caribbean crown Jesse Sanchez, MLB.com Monday Box Score: Puerto Rico reaches the final against host Mexico Tuesday night with a 9-6 win over Venezuela. Ivan De Jesus, Jr. was the DH, his string of multi-hit games finally ended, but he still contributed, 1-for-5 with a run scored. SS Yadiel Rivera had two RBI singles to right field, you can see those at the 1:00 minute mark and the 1:25 minute mark within the highlight package below.

    Saturday's box: More of the same for Ivan De Jesus, Jr., who was 3-for-4, double, walk, three runs, two RBI as the DH. In an amazing four-game stretch, De Jesus is 9-for-13 with three walks (yes, that player link shows a 1.750 OPS.). Puerto Rico romped 10-2 over the winless Dominican Republic team, Watch De Jesus' double here. Yadiel Rivera got the start at short, was 0-for-2 with two K's, but did walk and added a sacrifice bunt. Puerto Rico is off on Sunday, and it appears, despite their 1-3 record, will qualify over the Dominican Republic to be one of the four teams in Monday's semifinal game. The championship game is Tuesday.

    ARTICLE: Fellow Jonathan Broxton trade-mate RHP Barrett Astin is the one on the Reds' 40-man roster, but it was RHP Kevin Shackelford who got high praise from the Reds' GM on their winter caravan.

    AUDIO via MLB.com Thurs. 2/3: "MLB.com's Matt Waymire and Brewers reporter Adam McCalvy discuss why the team chose to non-tender Chris Carter this offseason and what it means for the league that sluggers with no position in the field may no longer be highly coveted."

    Not Puerto Rico's tournament thus far, now 0-3 after a 6-1 loss to Cuba (box score). Puerto Rico could still make its way into the semifinals of the five-game tourney if they defeat also-winless Dominican Republic on Saturday. Can't blame 29-year-old SS Ivan DeJesus, Jr., he is 6-for-9 with two walks in the three games for an OPS of 1.727, on base thrice more in this game. Yadiel Rivera grounded out as a pinch-hitter in his lone appearance in the series thus far. One reason the recent Ehire Adrianza waiver claim (since DFA'd) made little sense to me was the presence of DeJesus, just two years older, as a big league camp invite and someone who could handle that 25th man infield utility role in a pinch.

    Only looking ten rounds deep on these... Angels took Garrett Richards three picks after Brewers selected Kentrail Davis in the supplemental 1st round in 2009. Davis was the pick for losing CC Sabathia. DJ LeMahieu and Kyle Seager were taken within ten picks of Max Walla / Cameron Garfield in the 2009 2nd round. *** 2010: J.T. Realmuto went eight picks after Tyler Thornburg in the 3rd round, tough call, but Realmuto looks to have a fine future at a premium position. James Paxton was taken three picks after Hunter Morris in the 4th round. 2011: I'm going to break the rules by one pick and note Mookie Betts went 11 picks after Michael Reed in the 5th round. Anthony DeSclafani went eight picks after Brewers took RHP Daniel Keller in the 6th round. Side note, again breaking the rule by one pick: Travis Shaw was taken 11 picks after Brewers took OF Malcolm Dowell in the 9th round. *** I'll try and add notables from 2012 and forward later, or if someone wants to volunteer, Baseball Reference makes this very easy. Here's 2012's first and supplemental round, and then there's a link on the very same page to help you quickly move through rounds 2 into round 10. One thing you learn from researching this exercise is just what an amazing crapshoot / dartboard the MLB draft is. My goodness.

    27-year-old infielder Tom Belza, who was a July 20th free agent signee for Biloxi after his release by the Diamondbacks, has found a free agent home with the Twins, as per Baseball America. Based on known reports, only Jake Elmore and Andy Wilkins, who both saw action with the big league Brewers, and Biloxi RHP Daniel Tillman, whose last appearance was June 17th, remain as unsigned from the previously large crop of Brewer minor league free agents.

    Original Brewerfan.com readers may remember the name Ralph Santana. He has carved himself a nice baseball career, including coaching, and was honored this week. We should probably renew an "alumni news" thread of sorts, but for now we'll tuck this note here.

    Former Brewers 2008 4th round LHP Josh Romanski, converted to outfield in 2014, and used the indy route to gain a Minnesota Twins minor league deal yesterday (story here). Way back in 2010, we read about the reasons why Romanski was released by the Crew without ever throwing a pitch for them (link). Romanski had some initial success with the Yankees organization, which had us keeping a close watch on him, and would later wrap up his mound career on the White Sox farm. Certainly no grief on our part at this point, I wasted too many keystrokes back in the day mourning that decision by the Crew, just happy for the now 30-year-old and wish him well in AA / AAA and maybe beyond with the Twins.

    Caribbean Series box: Puerto Rico now in a big 0-2 hole after losing to Venezuela 4-3. IF Yadiel Rivera did not play, and RHP Hiram Burgos was idle after pitching an inning of relief the day before. Catcher Rene Garcia was 1-for-3 at the plate before being lifted for a pinch-hitter, Venezuela's Freddy Galvis stole two bases against Garcia. SS Ivan Dejesus, Jr. was on base three more times after two hits on Game One. He was 2-for-3, BB, RBI, but commited a 4th inning throwing error that allowed Venezuela to score their 4th run, and that was obviously key based on the final score. You can see that error in the highlight package video at the 01:30 minute mark below -- Mexico defeated the Dominican Republic 7-2 with former Brewers farmhand LHP Tyler Alexander again pitching well. Both the D.R and Puerto Rico are now 0-2 in the five-team tourney, you'll see standings and more on the Series' home page.

    With all the games on ESPN Desportes, the team Brewers' fans should follow is Puerto Rico, as four members of the organization are on the active roster -- add catcher Rene Garcia and SS Ivan Dejesus, Jr. to the list. The tournament is taking place in Mexico this year, and the host team defeated Puerto Rico 4-2. There were four home runs in the game, including one by Team Mexico's Yuniesky Betancourt. Box Score: Ivan Dejesus, Jr. was 2-for-3 (K), and hit an 8th inning home run off Sergio Romo that closed the scoring. Yadiel Rivera did not see action in this one. Rene Garcia was a late defensive replacement, there was a stolen base against him and teammate RHP Hiram Burgos within Burgos' lone inning, the 8th, in which he allowed an insurance run by Mexico on the Betancourt home run. Burgos did well to limit that damage considering what his defense would do next. Mexico Bottom of the 8th Pitching Change: Hiram Burgos replaces J. Romero. Yuniesky Betancourt homers (1) on a fly ball to right field. C. J. Retherford flies out to right fielder Jorge Padilla. Luis Juarez reaches on a throwing error by third baseman David Vidal. Luis Juarez to 2nd. Ronnier Mustelier grounds out, third baseman David Vidal to first baseman Ruben Gotay. Agustin Murillo reaches on a throwing error by third baseman David Vidal. Luis Juarez to 3rd. With Isaac Rodriguez Salazar batting, Agustin Murillo steals (1) 2nd base. Isaac Rodriguez Salazar lines out to right fielder Jorge Padilla. Here's the Betancourt home run off of Burgos --

    Even though their team did not win the Puerto Rico League team, roster rules are flexible enough that both RHP Hiram Burgos and IF Yadiel Rivera will be on Team Puerto Rico in the Caribbean Series tournament, which begins today (Wednesday 2/1). Puerto Rico takes on Mexico tonight. Here's MiLB.com's Caribbean Series home page.
