Not unless they plan on making him an offer for 2018; Hall's a minor league free agent this fall.

Heading into Monday night, Biloxi was last in the Southern League in batting average, OBP, and SLG. You don't have to think too hard to determine they're last in OPS . Southern League Team Batting Statistics *** You'll notice that Brevard County is not last in the 12-team Florida State League in any of those three categories (but they're close) Florida State League Team Batting Statistics For Daily Link Report readers, betcha most would have thought, relative to their league, the Manatees' offense was weaker. But they'd be wrong...

Brandon Woodruff named Southern League Pitcher of the Week Woodruff matched a career-high with 10 strikeouts last Wednesday in Pensacola Biloxi Shuckers A well-deserved honor during a tragic week for Brandon's family, as you've read about elsewhere on this forum...

The funeral for Blake Woodruff was today (Monday). In lieu of flowers, the Woodruff family set up a Gofundme.com account to raise funds for a Blake Woodruff Memorial Scholarship Fund. The scholarship is being established for a Wheeler (MS) High School graduate or Northeast Mississippi Community College baseball player.

37th round SS Jomar Cortes, 1-for-11 (0 BB, five K's) in four Maryvale games, has been promoted to Helena, where the Puerto Rico native will be one of the Pioneer League's youngest players (turns 18 on September 4th). You can view the already-cramped rosters below, not sure if this is a matter of balancing middle infield playing time, but it does seem like a rather random move for the moment. Helena Maryvale

Those players will retain their signing bonuses, but are free to sign with other clubs. The first $300K does not count towards a team's pools in the upcoming period. Those are the guys to go after. 17-year-old switch-hitting SS Antonio Pinero (VEN), signed after his Red Sox contract was voided, 0-for-4 (one K) in his DSL Brewers debut today. More on the game later on...

Archer continuing up Brewers' ranks Craig Delk, Upper Cumberland (TN) Herald-Citizen http://herald-citizen.com/uploads/large/20160718100456-8e89-KH_TristanArcher_7_18_16.jpg Former Tennessee Tech pitcher Tristan Archer delivers for the Biloxi Shuckers during a game against the Pensacola Blue Wahoos in Pensacola, FL. Kevin Hayes photo Tristan Archer’s professional baseball career has been marked by consistency, not only in terms of his progression through the ranks, but also by his production. The former Tennessee Tech pitcher who was selected by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 21st round of the 2013 draft has moved up a level every year, and he’s put up similar numbers at each stop. This year as a member of the Class AA Biloxi (Miss.) Shuckers, the 25-year-old righty is 3-3 with a 3.32 earned-run average in 34 appearances. He has 53 strikeouts in 57 innings pitched, and an impressive 1.09 WHIP (walks+hits/innings pitched) average while appearing largely out of the bullpen. Those numbers are strikingly close to last year, when he finished 3-4 with a 3.42 ERA, and 63 strikeouts in 71 innings for the High-A Brevard County (Fla.) Manatees. As a rookie in 2013, he was 2-1 with a 3.08 ERA, with 25 punchouts in 38 innings for the rookie level Helena (Wyo.) Brewers. True to his consistency, he followed up with a 7-6 mark, a 3.42 ERA, and 88 strikeouts in 113 innings for the Low-A Wisconsin Timber Rattlers in 2014. “I feel good about my progression,” Archer said. “I told myself that was a goal when I started playing, to progress by at least one level per year, and so far I have been able to do that. I will definitely say that it’s been tough and a grind. I know that every year coming in to spring training, I have to be at my best because I know I am competing for a job.” Archer’s 2016 performance has not gone unnoticed, as he was recently named a Southern League all-star. “I was surprised when I found out that I had made the all-star team,” Archer admitted. “I thought my first half was pretty good, but not my best. But it is definitely an honor to be named to an all-star team.” Archer has been especially effective over the last month. After seeing his ERA creep up to 4.58 on June 14, he has given up just one earned run in his last 17 2/3 innings, spanning nine total appearances. Archer isn’t the only former Golden Eagle who plays for a Southern League team. Outfielder Chad Oberacker a 2011 draft pick is now a member of the Mobile (Ala.) Bay Bears of the Arizona Diamondbacks organization. “We played against each other early in the year,” Archer said, “but he was injured during that time so we never got a chance to face each other.” Regardless of where his next stop is, Archer says his pro career so far has been quite memorable. “(My favorite part has been) the team,” he said. “I have had the opportunity to make a lot of new friends from all over, and I think that is pretty awesome.”

From the Biloxi Sun-Herald game story -- “We didn’t hit it that well, another tough night,” Shuckers manager Mike Guerrero said. “Offensively, there have been a lot of things we’ve been working on but nothing is showing up yet. “Hopefully, we start to come around. It has been a long year offensively. Hopefully the guys will start making some adjustments at the plate.”

Speaking of Reno, how about this Sunday night headline? NOTE: Brewers have Zach Davies, we're not quibbling anymore. How about just being happy for these two? So the Sky Sox won't see Banda on the mound this week. Haniger, Banda lead Aces to series win From the linked story: Mitch Haniger put Reno on the board in the first, following a Chris Owings walk with a run-scoring triple to right-center. Anthony Banda helped his own cause in the following inning, knocking an RBI base hit to center to score Dan Rohlfing, who started a two-out rally with a double to left. Haniger went 2-for-4 on the night, collecting his 16th multi-hit game in 35 contests with the Aces. The former Cal Poly star also posted his fourth game of three or more RBIs in an Aces uniform. Owings reached base three times and scored twice, while Banda became the eighth Reno pitcher to drive in a run this season. *** Those are Mitch Ghelfi-type numbers posted by Haniger .

Final: Tacoma 7, Colorado Springs 3 Sky Sox Drop Finale 7-3 In Tacoma Five-run first dooms Sky Sox in final matchup against Rainiers By Aaron Cheris / Colorado Springs Sky Sox Linked summary includes these notes -- what was in the atmosphere Sunday? Also in the bottom of the fifth, tempers flared after Jorge Lopez hit Pizzano with a pitch. Both Lopez and Sky Sox manager Rick Sweet were ejected by the home plate umpire. Lopez suffered his seventh loss of the season after allowing seven earned runs on nine hits while striking out three in four plus innings. Tempers flared again in the top of the eighth. Tacoma reliever Emilio Pagan threw a pitch behind batter Josmil Pinto, and was immediately ejected by the home plate umpire. Rainiers manager Pat Listach was also ejected from the game. *** Colorado Springs Box Score Jorge Lopez has now started 16 AAA games, and made one relief appearance (behind a Corey Knebel rehab inning start). It may not seem like it, but three could actually be called OK-to-good (May 9th and 14th, June 11th, that link brings you to his game logs). I was actually surprised there were three such outings. Colorado Springs Game Log As noted in the game summary, reliever Rob Scahill made his Brewers' organization debut. Please, please Josh Hader, give the AAA team something to smile about in Reno Monday night.

Final: Arizona Brewers 7, Arizona White Sox 3 Maryvale Box Score A-Crew put 17 men on base via hit, walk, and HBP, and after committing eight errors Saturday, the White Sox had three more miscues here. Brewers defense was clean. Nice work by all three Brewer pitchers who followed Tommy John rehabber RHP Victor Diaz. In particular, take note of 19-year-old Venezuelan RHP Nelson Hernandez' game logs, outside of one early outing, he's been excellent. 21-year-old LH bat Ryan Aguilar showing diversity, the University of Arizona 31st round pick splitting his early games between first base and here, center field and doing well in the leadoff spot. RF Jay Feliciano had a monster game, two doubles and a home run (his 5th of the season in 102 at-bats, the first of those home runs coming in the DSL). In just his 2nd pro game, LF Zach Clark hit his first HR. Maryvale Game Log Kudos to RHP Aaron Bummer, the 2014 White Sox draft pick missed all of 2015 and is rehabbing with the AZL Sox, is also overcoming his last name, scoreless inning here. Engaged to Debbie Downer.

Final: Ogden 5, Helena 4 The only game summary available is via the Ogden site -- Ogden Hit Three Times, Four Brewers Ejected in Raptors 5-4 Win By Emily Ferguson / Ogden Raptors OGDEN - After snapping an 11-game road losing streak on Saturday night, the Helena Brewers (11-18) had two coaches and two players ejected in a 5-4 loss to the Ogden Raptors (12-17), leaving the tying run stranded on third base in the ninth inning. DJ Peters hit a leadoff home run in the first inning to give Ogden a 1-0 lead. Two batters later, Brock Carpenter was drilled with a 96 MPH pitch from Brewer starter Michael Petersen and later scored on an Ibandel Isabel RBI single. Peters then hit a two-out double in the second inning and scored when Cody Thomas followed suit with an RBI double, giving the Raptors a 3-0 lead. Then in the bottom of the third, Luis Paz was pelted with a 95 MPH pitch, prompting home plate umpire Josh Sword to issue a warning to both dugouts. One inning later, Petersen hit Carpenter again, this time with a 66 MPH curveball. Petersen and Brewers manager Nestor Corredor were immediately ejected. A long delay ensued as Corredor and Brewers pitching coach Mark Dewey argued vehemently with Sword and field umpire Trevor Danneger. Dewey was also tossed. "It's the umpires discretion, rules are rules, and the umpire made a decision," said Raptors manager Shaun Larkin. "When he issues a warning, it has to go to both sides, that's the rule." In his Raptors debut, Ogden starter Nolan Long (1-0) allowed just a single hit - a fourth inning double -- and zero runs in six innings to get the win. Carpenter added his second home run of the season in the bottom of the frame to extend Ogden's lead to 4-0. "Great job mixing his pitches, throwing his off-speed pitches for strikes was huge, getting back in the counts and getting ahead in the count with off-speed pitches also," said Raptors manager Shaun Larkin, assessing Long's outing. Following the dugout warnings, Larkin's message to Long was simple. "'You keep pitching in, you keep throwing strikes, keep sticking to our game plan, and it's not going to change anything.'" Helena finally broke the shutout streak, plating two runs in the eighth inning to cut the deficit in half. Thomas then responded with a solo home run in the bottom of the eighth to put the Raptors up 5-2. After a single and two walks in the top of the ninth inning, Helena loaded the bases with two outs against Tony Gonsolin (2). Lucas Erceg hit a two-run single to make it a one-run game with the tying run on third base. After the first two pitches to Nathan Rodriguez were called strikes, Nash Walters (Saturday's winning pitcher) was ejected from the dugout by Danneger. His attempt to ice Gonsolin with a slow walk to the clubhouse proved unfruitful as Gonsolin struck out Rodriguez swinging on the next pitch to close out the game. Helena Box Score Cleanup-hitting catcher Nathan Rodriguez had reached three times prior to that final at-bat...
