    LHP Michael Kirkman signs a minor league deal with the Braves, and RHP Austin Ross signed earlier in January with the Reds. Ross, entering his age 28 season, posted fantastic numbers for Colorado Springs in 2016 (darn near spectacular, really, check them out).

    2017 Prospect Projections: NL Central Sam Dykstra, MiLB.com This is the fourth in a six-part series that uses FanGraphs' Steamer600 projections to look at how prospects would fare over a full Major League season. The system bases its forecast on 600 plate appearances for position players, 450 plate appearances for catchers, 200 innings for starting pitchers and 65 innings for relievers -- taking into account age, past performance and previous Minor League levels, among other factors.

    Australia box: In the final game of his winter season, Malik Collymore, playing LF, was 1-for-3, double, BB. The 21-year-old finished with a .276/.362/.382 line (.744 OPS), 14 steals in 19 attempts, and 20 walks vs. 36 K's in 152 AB's. Collymore played CF in 23 games, LF in 16 games. Tucker Neuhaus, who injured his foot in the prior game (see above post) did not play here. By the way, Sydney lost 4-3, and finished at 15-24. Neuhaus played 20 games at second base before shifting to third base for 17 games. The also-21-year-old finished with a .275/.320/.352 line (.672 OPS), one steal in three attempts, and 7 walks vs. 24 K's in 142 AB's. Not to mention some off-day adventures of a lifetime, congrats guys! *** By the way, Jonathan Villar's Dominican Winter League team lost 6-2 in the deciding game the best-of-nine League Championship Series, to the dismay of locals none too pleased with Milwaukee's decision to pull him midway through the series. *** To everybody who checked in on this thread this winter, thanks for reading. Unless there's a surprise substitution among the four teams competing in the upcoming Caribbean Series (made up of the four league champions from Dominican Republic, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Venezuela), this concludes our winter league fun for 2016-2017.

    Well Sydney was up 3-0 after the top of the 2nd, but would lose 15-3, ouch. It was also ouch for Malik Collymore, 0-for-5 as the DH in this one, two K's. He did score a run after reaching on an error. Collymore still owns a solid .750-ish OPS after 149 AB's, but it has really dropped since his All-Star Game appearance (splits). And finally, it was literally an ouch for third baseman Tucker Neuhaus, who left the game in the third inning after charging a bunt and landing a bit awkwardly. It looked like a relatively minor foot injury, but everyone was understandably cautious, hopefully the diagnosis confirms that. You can watch that Neuhaus play at the 01:11:00 minute/mark at the video archive. Neuhaus was 1-for-2 prior to his exit, and you can see his single at the 16:30 mark.

    Thursday's Australia box -- Nice night for both Malik Collymore (2-for-4, R, one K) and Tucker Neuhaus (2-for-3, BB, RBI, CS) in a 5-2 loss. If you're up at 2:30 AM Central Friday night / Saturday AM, you can watch the Saturday Down Under game live with full DVR functionality. The game will also archive at that same link if you sleep in a bit .

    Rafael Neda will make his managerial debut with the Arizona League Brewers this summer. He will be joined by Coach Tony Diggs, who managed the team last season and from 2008–12, as well as Brenton Del Chiaro, who joins the organization this year. Del Chiaro spent the last nine years in a similar role in the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim organization. Nat Ballenberg will serve as the team’s Pitching Coach. Matt Deal returns as the athletic trainer, while Juan Rodriguez will serve in his first year as the team’s strength and conditioning specialist. Well, that's not much of an introduction to Nat Ballenberg, is it? Turns out it's a pretty fascinating hire, and considering the background of big league pitching coach Derek Johnson, and the strong analytical bent of this front office, not too surprising. PHOTO LINK: Nat Ballenberg, left, with Professor Richard Ball, who was his academic adviser. Ballenberg, who wrote his thesis on the statistical analysis of clutch pitching, is a former Haverford player who is now the team’s pitching coach. What is Haverford, you ask? Here's an excellent 2015 read via the New York Times: Tiny Haverford College an Unlikely Pipeline to Major League Baseball’s Front Offices Just hope that someone told Ballenberg he currently has several hundred pitching arms in the organization at the rookie ball level, and that's beforethe 2017 draft. OK, just a tiny exaggeration, but still...

    Joe Ayrault will head to the Brewers new Class-A affiliate, the Carolina Mudcats. He returns for his sixth season as manager of the team’s Class-A affiliate (which switches this year from Brevard County) and is joined by returnees Pitching Coach David Chavarria, Coach Edwin Maysonet and Strength and Conditioning Specialist Jonah Mergen. Dave Joppie joins the organization as a coach after spending 10 years in the Boston Red Sox organization. It's a 2013 article, but still a very good "get-to-know" read on the new coach at the High-A level: As teacher, Joppie hits it out of the park Kevin Thomas, Portland (ME) Press Herald

    Looks like five coaches (in addition to roving hitting coordinator Jeremy Reed, mentioned earlier in this thread) won't be back with the organization, which still represents a very small amount of turnover. Sky Sox Hitting Coach Bob Skube Timber Rattlers Pitching Coach Gary Lucas Helena Coach Reggie Williams, who had served as a roving outfield / baserunning coordinator in prior years DSL Pitching Coach Geraldo Obispo DSL Coach Joan Abreu

    First these reminder posts from last June 12th and 13th -- *** OK, now that you have re-familiarized yourself with Andrew Vernon (2016 stats), read this article from today. Brewers prospect Andrew Vernon prepping for season at Somerset's Infinite Fitness Mike Thomas, Fall River (MA) Herald News Several photos at that link as well... *** When I learned that Vernon, a North Carolina native, was literally training in my backyard here in southeastern Massachusetts, I didn't realize how he found his way up here for an extended multi-month training stint until I was reminded he played for the local New England Collegiate Baseball wood bat league here, as was noted in the worthwhile article linked just above. The young man has agreed to be my guest for lunch out Friday, a treat for me since that kind of opportunity is so rare up in these parts from a Brewers perspective. I'm not planning a formal article post or anything, very casual, just hoping to learn a bit of what life is like for a senior sign spending a summer in the Maryvale heat, and then preparing to do all he can this offseason for what will be a very competitive spring camp (Toby has already crunched the sheer numbers for us, lots of arms on hand to be sure). Join me in wishing Andrew well, and all the guys in similar spots. We've spent so much time focusing on top prospect lists, there are always great baseball stories at every level of the organization, though.

MLB.com's Matt Waymire and MLB.com columnist Phil Rogers discuss what role Feliz can fill in the back of the Brewers bullpen and what the signing of Joba Chamberlain can bring to the team.

    Wednesday's games -- Puerto Rico box: SS Ivan Dejesus, Jr. was 2-for-5, one K, and his team lost 6-5 in 12 innings. His team also lost this championship best-of-nine five games to three. It now appears, barring late roster shuffles, that no Brewers players or farmhands will appear in this year's Caribbean series, which pits the champions of the Puerto Rico, Dominican, Mexican, and Venezuelan Leagues. *** Australia box: There is still a bit of regular season baseball Down Under this winter, and Sydney scored a win 5-4, to move to 15-21, which won't be qualifying them for the upcoming playoffs there. LF Malik Collymore and 3B Tucker Neuhaus each had a base hit and scored a run, you'll see their lines in the box score link.

    Well, the Padres are doing exactly what we were hoping the Brewers might do - via Baseball America. The league will now have 15 teams next year -- gee, one more team and the schedule won't have to be built-in with a day off for a single team every day, now will it, Brewers?
