Of the players listed on the Brewers' camp roster, yet to be listed on a game roster: Injured as noted above (all "Tommy John"): LHP Joan De La Cruz, RHP Victor Diaz, LHP Nathan Kirby, RHP Yosmer Leal, RHP Daniel Missaki, RHP Taylor Williams

The biggest news on that list is learning that Venezuelan RHP Victor Diaz did indeed have Tommy John surgery last spring; his 2.28 ERA through 23.2 innings was clouded by an inverted 9:16 K:BB ratio.

Love it when the Brewers' blogosphere reaches out to the farmhands -- Reviewing the Brew: Q&A with LHP Kodi Medeiros

AUDIO via CBS Sports' "Tiki and Tierney" Fri. 3/25: GM David Stearns (when they let him talk); NOTE: We probably shouldn't link to "national" interviews... *** AUDIO via the Bill Michaels' Show Fri. 3/25: Tim Allen of WSSP *** VIDEOS via Brewers.com Fri. 3/25: Craig Counsell on injuries, switch-hitting

40-man roster OF Ramon Flores says hi.

Via @Brewers PD - Thursday's games -- The combined AAA/AA won, 7-3. Phillips 2x2. Shaw tripled twice as part of a 3-hit day. Ramirez & Wilkins both homered The combined A-ball team rallied to tie the Angels at five in the 9th. Cuas knocked in 2 runs & Allemand had 2 singles. Earls 3k in 2 IP The evening contest was taken by the Angels, 7-2. Iskenderian had 2 extra-base hits, incl a solo HR. Trent Clark added a 2B & a BB in 2 PA

Analysis this offseason showed with overlays that each and every one of Khris Davis' HR's in 2015 would have left Oakland's ballpark as well. I feel strongly that trade is going to look great for both teams when all is said and done.

Via the Brewers' Media Guide, minor league injury updates from 2015 -- Here's our yearly wondrance of why this specific news is made available in the guide, but so often unavailable during the regular season. However, the updates, regardless of date, are appreciated.

He had a promising DSL debut season in 2014. *** *Brevard County 2015 infielder Taylor Brennan suffered a left labrum and capsule tear right at season's end -- March 7th's happy tweet that his rehab was over *** OF Johnny Davis - Torn right ACL, surgery on 5/5; back in action in games this spring camp *** LHP Joan De La Cruz - Dominican missed his age 21 season after Tommy John surgery October of 2014 *** *IF Dustin DeMuth's season ended in July when he broke his left index finger (Demuth bats left-handed); injury had previously been listed as broken hand; back in action in games this spring camp *** *Timber Rattlers' OF Brandon Diaz saw his age 20 season end on July 20th after a right hamstring injury (previously only noted as a lower body injury); back in action in games this spring camp *** *Another Timber Rattler, RHP Victor Diaz, underwent Tommy John surgery; performed on May 15th (we only knew of a season-ending "arm injury" previously) *** OF Ben Guez suffered a significant hamstring injury that placed him on the DL as of May 22nd, later appeared at season's end rehabbing in Maryvale, and again in winter ball in Venezuela *** OF Monte Harrison went on the Helena DL broke his right ankle while rounding third base in a game on July 21st; back in action in games this spring camp *** LHP Zach Hirsch' month-long DL stint in May was for an elbow strain; healthy since *** C Dustin Houle returned from his 2014 season Tommy John surgery on June 29th and finished the season strong at Brevard County *** LHP Nathan Kirby underwent Tommy John surgery on September 1st *** *LHP Yosmer Leal missed his age 19 season in the Dominican Summer League as he had Tommy John surgery on May 28th (previously, we only knew he was rehabbing an elbow injury) *** RHP Daniel Missaki, soon to turn 20, underwent Tommy John surgery last May. He was one of three pitchers acquired in the Adam Lind deal with Seattle. *** LHP Clint Terry went on the Brevard County DL on July 7th with an elbow strain; fortunately it appears he is on his way back, just listed as a participant in a spring camp game *** *Catcher Yoel Vasquez missed his age 18 season in the DSL with a hamate fracture in his left wrist. *** RHP Taylor Williams (seems he was "forgotten" in this year's media guide), underwent Tommy John surgery last August after trying to rehab without the surgery.

Ken Howard, ‘White Shadow’ Star, SAG-AFTRA President, Dies at 71 “The White Shadow,” created by Bruce Paltrow, was a progressive drama ahead of its time in exploring the sometimes awkward, sometimes tense and sometimes funny aspects of race relations in the context of a high school basketball team with mostly African American players and a white coach, a former NBA player named Ken Reeves, played by Howard. The series, which ran from 1978-81 on CBS, represented television’s first ensemble drama with a predominantly African American cast (though admittedly Howard, the star of the show, was white). While no saint, Howard’s Reeves was always sticking his nose into situations where the high school vice principal (played by African American actress Joan Pringle), didn’t think it belonged, but almost always because he was trying to do the right thing. While Reeves did his best for his players both on the court and in their private lives, the team ribbed Reeves in a manner not terribly unlike the dynamic on “Welcome Back, Kotter.”

LHP Mike Strong now outrighted by the Twins, loses his 40-man spot, clears waivers and remains in their organization.

Nathan Orf at shortstop for a day, and typo on George Iskenderian, at second base, not a second catcher... ***
