  3. All via SoxProspects.com: Discussion thread Mauricio Dubon - Their #9 prospect Josh Pennington - Their #27 prospect
  4. Monday - light night: Puerto Rico box - Omar Garcia, playing left field, 1-for-4, run scored, to maintain his .250 winter average *** Venezuela box - Catcher Manny Pina had a pinch-hit RBI single. SS Orlando Arcia 0-for-4 but his team walked off over Pina's, 8-7.
  5. Ended up signing with a "mystery team" -- Mariners.
  6. Via Baseball America, Reds transactions littered with former Brewers -- Signed: RHP Kevin Shackelford (re-signed), LHP Lucas Luetge, C Shawn Zarraga Added to 40-man: RHP Barrett Astin Shackelford and Astin was the combo that netted Jonathan Broxton. Giants signed RHP Neil Ramirez, who was briefly a 2016 big league Brewer. RHP Derek Eitel signed with the Nationals.
  7. Sunday: Venezuela - Hernan Perez still raking, a quiet day for Gabriel Noriega *** Venezuela - Manny Pina and Orlando Arcia each reached base once *** Venezuela: Javier Betancourt gets a couple of at-bats, his first since November 15th *** Puerto Rico: Hopefully just a planned short start for RHP Jorge Lopez, who has been stellar in all his winter appearances thus far, as Lopez retired all six men he faced, three via strikeout. You'll find Lopez' 40-man roster teammates, Martin Maldonado and Yadiel Rivera, in that box score. Maldy played first base and reached twice.
  8. I love I share the same home state with Billy Jo Robidoux, that he's a Massachusetts native (and not Texas, given his moniker), that he's soon to be 53 years old and still goes by Billy Jo at that age (William Joseph), that he's still active within the game (see below), and now he's a Hall of Famer. Pittsfield's Tom Grieve headlines Western Mass. Baseball Hall of Fame Class of 2017 Joining Grieve as electees: - Billy Jo Robidoux of Ware, who played big league ball with the Milwaukee Brewers, Chicago White Sox and Boston Red Sox. He's now active as an umpire of local high school and college baseball. *** Baseball Cube page Dang, we thought a Colorado Springs and Lancaster combo would have been bad for projecting prospects (thank you, Mudcats!), Robidoux played in Stockton, El Paso, and Denver, no wonder we fell in love with those OPS figures (before we knew what OPS was!).
  9. You are 100% absolutely correct, sir, I should not post shortly after corporate Christmas parties .
  10. Saturday: Dominican box: 21-year-old Wendell Rijo gets his first at-bat of the winter in a lopsided win, and strikes out. *** Venezuela box: SS Orlando Arcia was 2-for-4, double, two R, two RBI, SB in a 10-8 win. *** Venezuela box: Hernan Perez, batting leadoff and playing second base, was 2-for-5 (R, RBI, K), and his leadoff triple in extra innings was the key as he scored the walkoff run in a 2-1 game. On the other side, SS Gabriel Noriega was 0-for-4, two K's. *** Australia's Sunday Day Game Matinee: Sydney loses 5-1 to go to 7-5 on the season. CF Malik Collymore had two of his team's four hits, including a double (one K), and has a .969 OPS through 12 games. He was caught stealing once. 2B Tucker Neuhaus has hit a dry spell and is hitless in five of his last six games and has dropped to a .505 OPS, also having played in all 12 of Sydney's games.
  11. Via rules guru thecubreporter The player is awarded a standard one-year MLB contract with no "minor league split" salary or incentive/performance bonuses. Also, the contract is not guaranteed, so if the player is released during Spring Training, the club would only owe the player 30 days or 45 days salary as termination pay, depending on when the player is released. (A player on an MLB 40-man roster receives 100% of what remains of his salary if he is released during the regular season). NOTE: The Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA) is very sensitive about salary arbitration, so if a player is victorious at an arbitration hearing and is awarded a contract by an arbitration panel and then is subsequently released by his club prior to or during Spring Training, the MLBPA will almost always file a grievance on behalf of the player, claiming the player was released for economic reasons only (which is not permitted), and asking that the released player receive 100% of his salary as termination pay. In that situation, a club would have to show (by submitting official Spring Training game stats) that the released player was out-performed in Spring Training games by another player (or players) competing for that roster spot. *** Big spring training for Scooter...
  12. Box Score, Game One - Sydney wins in the first extra inning via a walk-off walk. CF Collymore was on base three times (2-for-3, double, walk), while 2B Tucker Neuhaus was 0-for-3 with a walk (one error). *** Box Score, Game Two - Sydney wins again by a 2-1 score. Collymore was 1-for-3, Neuhaus 0-for-3, each fanned once. The entire second game is available for viewing. Go to the 3rd inning at the 39:00 minute mark to see Collymore's single, followed by a Neuhaus deep fly ball to right that would have been a home run on other nights. Also, during the Neuhaus at-bat, the announcers discuss Collymore in some detail.
  13. Friday's games -- Puerto Rico box -- Martin Maldonado 0-for-3 with two K's in his winter debut, but also walked twice and scored a run. Maldonado caught teammate starter Hiram Burgos, who has pitched really well but remains unsigned. Teammate SS Yadiel Rivera was 2-for-5 with a double and run scored (one K). *** Venezuela box -- Catcher Manny Pina hit a two-run home run in a 1-for-4 day (one K). On the other squad, Hernan Perez, playing second base, was 0-for-3 with one K but drew his long-awaited first walk of the winter! *** Venezuela box -- SS Orlando Arcia 0-for-3 *** Saturday's Australia games are already underway, and Sydney plays two games today. Details when complete, Malik Collymore already with two hits in the opener.
  14. Looks like the managerial conflict is resolved.
  15. Geltz has eight days to either accept or reject the outright assignment, as per @BrewersPD.
  16. But do we know that Geltz has definitely accepted the outright assignment? Just following Rotoworld and other transaction sites over the years, we've seen players who have the right to do so, like Geltz, refuse the outright assignment a day or two later. (Goforth, we know, can't...)
  17. Also from Thursday (well, Friday for them) -- Australia box - CF Malik Collymore 3-for-5, double, R, two K, stole his 5th base (in six attempts). Teammate second baseman Tucker Neuhaus was 0-for-4, but drove in two runs, one on a sacrifice fly, and one when he reached on an error (one K).
  18. Junior Guerra and Hernan Perez are on Team Venezuela (player list), but the players are balking at playing at all if Omar Vizquel is not named manager (not sure, seems to be more pro-Vizquel than anti-Eduardo Perez). *** Personally, I just dislike seeing Guerra try to ramp up early.
  19. Thursday: Venezuela box - SS Orlando Arcia 1-for-3, 3rd error in seven winter games *** Venezuela box - SS Gabriel Noriega 0-for-2 in a rain-shortened game, one K *** Venezuela box - Sure, Hernan Perez is up to 78 at-bats without a walk, but he's still raking at .346 after a 3-for-5 night, double, two R, two RBI, one K, played third base. In the same game, catcher Manny Pina was 1-for-4, double, run scored. *** Puerto Rico Box - SS Yadiel Rivera 2-for-5, double, two R, RBI, K. In the same game, Omar Garcia made a late appearance in right field, and singled in his lone at-bat.
  20. These two interviews via the Bill Michaels Show, Thurs. 12/1: Mike Bauman of MLB.com Bullpen catcher Marcus Hanel *** Via WWSP's afternoon "Big Show" Thurs. 12/1: Brian Anderson *** AUDIO via SportsNet 590 in Toronto Thurs. 12/1: New 1B Eric Thames Someone please explain how the first full-blown post-signing Thames radio interview is with a Toronto radio station -- oh yeah, Packers, Packers, Packers...although at least we got the baseball audio today linked just above...
  21. Wednesday: Puerto Rico box -- Despite one walk, rough game for CF Omar Garcia, 0-for-3 with two K's and two fielding errors *** Venezuela box -- SS Gabriel Noriega 2-for-4, run scored *** Venezuela box -- Catcher Manny Pina with a big night, finishing a triple shy of a cycle, 3-for-5, three RBI, two runs scored Teammate RHP David Goforth closed out the lopsided win -- Magallanes Bottom of the 9th Defensive Substitution: Yojhan Quevedo replaces catcher Manny Pina, batting 8th, playing catcher. Pitching Change: David Goforth replaces Dayan Diaz. Offensive Substitution: Pinch-hitter Miguel Aparicio replaces Endy Chavez. Miguel Aparicio singles on a ground ball to right fielder Welington Dotel. Adonis Garcia grounds into a double play, shortstop Juniel Querecuto to second baseman Ildemaro Vargas to first baseman Hector Gimenez. Miguel Aparicio out at 2nd. Jose Martinez walks. Offensive Substitution: Pinch-hitter Alberth Martinez replaces Jose Tabata. Alberth Martinez strikes out swinging. *** Venezuela box -- SS Orlando Arcia returned to action for the first time in ten days. Batting 9th, he was on base three times (single, two walks), RBI, K'd once.
