  1. A swap of LHP's sees Wei-Chung Wang back from "Helena" to Biloxi, and Josh Hader swapped out to take his place. Both moves in an effort to monitor workload at this point in the season.
  2. RHP Melvin Tejada, a 21-year-old four-year Brewer, who had a good season in the DSL in 2014 but did not see action last summer, will be placed on the restricted list. No details, but normally that's a sign of failure to report, allowing the Brewers to retain his rights.
  3. Bryan Torres, who was announced as a catcher upon his signing late last July but played all of his six DSL games in the outfield, is expected to be catching in 2016.
  4. From last July 2nd -- We have confirmed that Sibrian will begin his pro career in the Dominican Summer League, he won't be 18 years old until October; it was great to see that the Brewers' top money signing from last summer was in Maryvale for fall instructionals.
  5. Chirino is on board, just waiting his MiLB player page, he's 6'2, 173.
  6. Prior to today's trade with Atlanta involving minor league LHP and former 1st round pick Jed Bradley, the previous deal with the Braves was this one: Braves (11/11/14) -- Acquired OF Kyle Wren in exchange for RHP Zach Quintana That was a really fun time for me because I had stumbled upon the obscure link and tip that a deal was going down and linked to the cool speculation thread that I tweeted to here. Nice thread to re-visit as we wondered if what was to become a 1-for-1 deal could have been something much more. Quintana, recently turned 22, is scuffling in High-A ball this year. Wren is with the AA Biloxi squad. The first post in our history thread has been updated to reflect the "last" with all 29 teams. Still not on speaking terms with the Marlins!

  8. AUDIO via the WWSP 105.7 FM Pre-Game Show Thurs. 6/2: The "roundtable discussion" takes part at the 04:30 minute mark; other portions of the road game version had been linked previously *** From the WTMJ Postgame Show Thurs. 6/2: Will Smith on his first pitching game of the season Davey Nelson discusses Brewers Game 1 win against Phillies
  9. This is new or relatively new, maybe the Brewers have encouraged it -- Sky Sox Announce Players Of The Month First monthly honors of 2016 earned by trio of Sky Sox *** Garrett Cooper and Josh Hader named Shuckers Players of the Month Shuckers players received awards on Wednesday at the Ohr-O'Keefe Museum of Art in Biloxi
  10. The Sky Sox' Eric Young Jr. had an opt-out in his contract, as was reported in the spring. Since it's June 3rd and we haven't heard boo about it, doesn't seem it came into play at all. *** Speaking of Colorado Springs, there's a brief Michael Reed video feature on the BrewersOnTap.TV home page.
  11. You'll find plenty on the interwebs on new big leaguer RHP Jacob Barnes this AM, including the Brewers' site and the Journal-Sentinel. Be sure to check those out. Also an excellent entry on Barnes via the Sky Sox blog.
  12. VIDEO via WLOX: Action from Thursday's Biloxi loss Nice throw, Victor Roache! That's two games in a row!

  16. Final: Colorado Springs 13, Omaha 9 Sky Sox Storm Back To Top Omaha 13-9 Sky Sox erase seven-run deficit to win fourth game in a row By Aaron Cheris / Colorado Springs Sky Sox http://www.milb.com/assets/images/6/6/2/181848662/cuts/06_1_3088_pk_yptob6dl_5114tmec.jpg Will Middlebrooks and Jake Elmore had plenty to celebrate in the Sky Sox win on Thursday night. (Paat Kelly photo) Eleven unanswered runs, wow! Really something how many times this offense has come back after a blow-up start; fun for the locals, been a while since this team was competitive, going back to their Rockies days... *** Colorado Springs Box Score I guess I understand what the Brewers are trying to do with LHP Sam Freeman, or do I? Controlled environment? Converted starter? Either way, Freeman has been lit up in every fashion in every locale... Clean defense, nice work out of the pen; guess I blasted Will Middlebrooks enough earlier that he's taken note -- five multi-hit games in his last seven, and he even threw in a walk here; boy, we have not given Jake Elmore enough love, on base all four times here, the soon-to-be 29-year-old sports a ridiculous .343/.456/.402 line in 102 AB's. Colorado Springs Game Log Yee-hah! Col. Springs Bottom of the 4th Manny Pina singles on a ground ball to center fielder Orlando Calixte. Andy Wilkins singles on a line drive to right fielder Jorge Bonifacio. Manny Pina to 2nd. Josmil Pinto lines into a force out, right fielder Jorge Bonifacio to shortstop Christian Colon. Manny Pina to 3rd. Andy Wilkins out at 2nd. Josmil Pinto to 1st. Will Middlebrooks triples (1) on a fly ball to center fielder Orlando Calixte. Manny Pina scores. Josmil Pinto scores.

Springs Bottom of the 5th Orlando Arcia singles on a fly ball to center fielder Orlando Calixte. Manny Pina doubles (14) on a fly ball to center fielder Orlando Calixte. Orlando Arcia scores.

  17. Those four promotions to Maryvale announced Wednesday, seven more today: 19-year-old Panamanian RHP Carlos Luna, the MVP of the DSL All-Star Game and owner of crazy good numbers in his second Brewers season, will be stateside. He's exactly the type of pitcher David Stearns targeted in the Adam Lind deal. 19-year-old Venezuelan RHP Nelson Hernandez has made 23 appearances in his first two teenage pro seasons, all starts, so the Brewers know what they have in mind for the young man. The numbers don't jump off the page like they do for Luna, but Hernandez will be another to keep a close watch on in the Arizona heat. 19-year-old SS Ignacio Otano posted a fantastic .821 OPS, just overlook the 35 errors he committed in 40 games . Twenty-four of his 67 hits were for extra bases, and the 6'0" RH bat should be an exciting follow in Maryvale. Otano also stole 17 bases but was caught ten times. 19-year-old 1B Nicol Valderrey is a right-handed bat who doesn't have corner infield size (at least as listed on MiLB), but posted a .300/.360/.365 line in his second season last summer. 19-year-old Venezuelan catcher Yoel Vasquez got a late start to his rookie season in 2014, and with only eight pro games under his belt, still gets the stateside invitation. Vasquez missed all of 2015 with a hamate fracture in his left wrist. 23-year-old RHP Wuilder Rodriguez debuted as pro just last season, so it was make-or-break for him in 2015. Hopefully he'll eventually reach Helena / Wisconsin and we'll learn more on how he managed to sign at such an advanced age. 23-year-old LHP Boanerges Nova (what great names among these call-ups) has toiled for three seasons on his native island; southpaws are always welcome stateside.

  20. Via the Sky Sox blog, we learn that RHP Tim Dillard is for now a member of the Colorado Springs rotation. *** So the club is playing better as of late, but the rotation has sure been in flux, guess we're looking at Lopez - Jungmann - Burgos - Dillard - Freeman, with Ariel Pena and Brent Suter in swing roles, particularly with Freeman's "starts" to try to get Sam right (Tyler Cravy on the DL).
