Nearly every report we've read this season indicates Woodruff's velocity is still 95-97.

We've been wondering about the status of 10th round LHP Blake Fox, he's been listed on the Helena roster since his signing right after the draft, but has yet to debut. But we learn today he's not in Maryvale, but apparently has been in Helena all along, and he was able to grab a more appropriate bed after Lucas Erceg's promotion. This video will explain -- Brewers host mom relishes opportunity for players to live in her home

AUDIO via Lane Grindle's "Brewers on Tap": Post trade-deadline interview with GM David Stearns (approx. 06:00 minute mark), and a prior mid-May interview with RHP Jon Perrin, shortly after his promotion from Wisconsin to Brevard County (approx. 15:00 minute mark).

He's starting Game One of their doubleheader Wednesday night. His first innings, partly because of a Wendell Rijo error, did not go well with a 5-spot (three earned) -- Daytona Bottom of the 1st Blake Trahan singles on a line drive to right fielder Elvis Rubio.

Chad Tromp singles on a ground ball to left fielder Malik Collymore. Reydel Medina scores. Brian O'Grady to 3rd on the throw. Avain Rachal hit by pitch. Chad Tromp to 2nd.
