Following is a list of players who are free to leave the organization five days after the World Series when minor league free agency begins. These players and the Brewers could agree to sign an additional one-year minor league deal to extend the relationship. Or the Brewers could add the player to the 40-man roster, thus extending the "ownership" of the player. A player who has exhausted all seven years of his original minor league affiliation to the organization that signed him is eligible. Here are the Brewers farmhands who have been with the organization for their full seven-year affiliated commitment (or even longer in the cases of Tim Dillard and Hiram Burgos). We've been following these five guys their whole affiliated pro careers. RHP Hiram Burgos RHP Tim Dillard RHP Brooks Hall C Rafael Neda RHP Austin Ross Catcher Rafael Neda has been working as a bullpen catcher in Appleton, last we saw. Perhaps a hint at a future coaching career, but technically is in the organization as an active player and is on this list. The full list of potential minor league free agents: UT Tom Belza 3B/1B Garin Cecchini RHP Hiram Burgos RHP Tim Dillard UT Jake Elmore - ELECTED FREE AGENCY 10/31 OF Ramon Flores LHP Sam Freeman - ELECTED FREE AGENCY 10/4; SIGNED BY MIAMI ON 10/21 C Rene Garcia RHP Brooks Hall LHP Michael Kirkman - ELECTED FREE AGENCY 10/4 RHP Stephen Kohlscheen - RE-SIGNED BY BREWERS 10/25, INVITED TO BIG LEAGUE SPRING TRAINING C Michael McKenry 3B Will Middlebrooks - ELECTED FREE AGENCY 10/4 C Rafael Neda - RELEASED 11/1 - EXPECTED TO BE PART OF MARYVALE COACHING STAFF IN 2017 LHP Sean Nolin IF Gabriel Noriega - RE-SIGNED BY BREWERS 11/4 C/UT Fidel Pena - RE-SIGNED BY BREWERS 10/27 OF Shane Peterson C/1B Josmil Pinto - ADDED TO 40-MAN ON 9/20 RHP Austin Ross RHP Daniel Tillman RHP Kender Villegas 1B/OF Andy Wilkins OF Eric Young, Jr. - TRADED TO NEW YORK YANKEES ON 8/31 Thanks to the Brewers for verifying the accuracy of this list for us. By some time tonight/tomorrow, we'll post the list of players who are eligible to be added to the 40-man roster (to protect them from Rule 5 theft by another organization).

Final: Grand Junction 8, Helena 4 Brewers Defense Struggles in 8-4 Loss Rockies Take Opener After Fast Start By Craig Durham / Helena Brewers Helena Box Score Brewers put 17 runners on, so four-run output is actually weak... Helena Game Log *** Thanks to "And That" for all the work last night (it's my icon, but all his work), I'm actually still pretty much unavailable until later today ao it's much appreciated. Good day, everyone.

Suter rides ground game in Sky Sox shutout Brewers southpaw extends August scoreless streak to 14 2/3 innings By Alex Kraft / MiLB.com The Omaha Storm Chasers wouldn't let Brent Suter strike them out, so he used his ground game to turn in a second straight scoreless outing. The Brewers left-hander gave up four hits and struck out one over a season-high 7 2/3 innings on Sunday as Triple-A Colorado Springs blanked Omaha, 3-0, at Werner Park. Suter (6-5) induced 11 groundouts without issuing a walk. After registering his lone punchout against third-ranked Royals prospect Jorge Bonifacio in the fourth inning, the Harvard product said his contact-oriented approach wasn't part of the game plan. "I don't mind strikeouts, but there were a lot of one-pitch and two-pitch outs where they would put the ball in play early and I didn't even get to a two-strike count to have the opportunity to get a strikeout," Suter said. "Fortunately, those quick balls in play were outs a lot of the time." After tossing a perfect first, Suter surrendered back-to-back singles to No. 2 Royals prospect Hunter Dozier and Balbino Fuenmayor to begin the second. The Storm Chasers didn't produce another baserunner for six innings as the 26-year-old set down 18 straight batters. "The changeup was a go-to pitch today in terms of inducing weak contact," Suter said. "I remember telling our catcher [Andrew Susac] in the first inning or two that even though I hadn't thrown a quality one yet it was feeling really good out of my hand, so let's keep going to it." Orlando Calixte broke up Suter's perfect stretch by beating out an infield single with one out in the eighth. The Chicago native got Dusty Coleman to pop out to second, but Ramon Torres rolled a single up the middle that prompted Sky Sox manager Rick Sweet to go to his bullpen. "Torres has always seen me pretty well," Suter said. "We went fastball in and then I missed fastball away. He had been showing that he could get to that outside pitch in his earlier at-bats, so I tried to go back in and I don't think I got it in enough." Suter was replaced by Damien Magnifico after throwing 55 of 77 pitches for strikes. The 2012 31st-round pick improved to 2-0 in August, a month in which he's allowed 10 hits and struck out seven without issuing a walk over 14 2/3 frames to take over third place in the Pacific Coast League with a 3.07 ERA. "I think I'm just making pitches when I have to," Suter said. "They've been getting hits off me. I had a jam in the Oklahoma City game that I had to get out of and I had a jam in the second inning [on Sunday]. It hasn't been a breeze by any means, but I'm just making pitches when I have to." Magnifico fanned two over 1 1/3 perfect innings to pick up his 15th save. Sky Sox designated hitter Josmil Pinto smashed a solo homer in the ninth, while second-ranked Brewers prospect Lewis Brinson doubled to run his Triple-A hitting streak to six games. Storm Chasers starter Mike Minor (0-3) gave up a run on three hits and three walks while striking out four over 4 1/3 innings.

Final: Helena 7, Orem 4 Brewers Come From Behind, Win 7-4 Hummel's 8th Inning Blast Leads to Victory By Craig Durham / Helena Brewers OREM, UT - With two strikes, two outs and his team trailing by a run in the bottom of the 8th, Cooper Hummel guessed right. He smashed a 1-2 fastball over the wall in right for his first career home run, putting the Helena Brewers ahead 5-4 in a game they would ultimately win 7-4 over the Orem Owlz. Hummel's homer completed a comeback that began in the 4th, when the Brewers scored the first two of seven unanswered runs. Orem built a 4-0 lead in the first two innings, taking advantage of Nash Walters' wildness, scoring four times on three hits and three walks. The Owlz chased the All-Star from the game after two innings, but the Brewers had an answer waiting in Wuilder Rodriguez (4-1). The right-hander from Venezuela gave up a leadoff single to David Flair in the 3rd, but did not allow another baserunner in five dazzling innings. He threw just 45 pitches, and faced the minimum 15 batters as he wiped out Flair on a double play ball to end the 3rd. Blake Fox followed Rodriguez, and tossed a scoreless inning in his pro debut. Colton Cross earned his fourth save of the season, slamming the door shut in the bottom of the 9th. Hummel got the Brewers on the board with an RBI single in the 4th, and finished the game 3-for-4 with the home run and three RBIs. Ronnie Gideon extended his hitting streak to 10 games with a 2-for-5 night that featured two doubles. Gilbert Lara and Joantgel Segovia each added a pair of hits for the Brewers who are now 3-3 in the second half of the season. Saturday night marked the first time since June 21-22 that the Brewers have won back-to-back games on the road. They will look to make it three in a row on Sunday with Rodrigo Benoit getting the start at 4:05 PM (5:05 Central). *** Helena Box Score H-Crew now 3-3 in the second half... Officially welcome to pro ball, 23-year-old 10th LHP Blake Fox; only turned 19 last May, but 2015 3rd round RHP Nash Walters reminds us why his All-Star nod was rather puzzling... 19-year-old Venezuelan CF Joantgel Segovia not only has a .406 OBP after two singles here (all but five of his 44 base hits are singles, the rest doubles), but he has more walks, 20, than strikeouts, 13. Good night for Gilbert Lara at the plate, tough in the field... Helena Game Log
