    Helping restock a shorthanded DSL squad, the Brewers have also signed another switch-hitting infielder with prior experience, this one an older player who will turn 24 in July, Yerison Pena, with three years of .867 OPS work on his resume in the Tigers' system. The Brewers saw plenty of Pena as the two systems meet often in divisional Dominican play. Look at that 2014 line with more walks than K's, 22 SB's, and an .895 OPS against kids on average 3.7 years younger. But the Tigers never saw fit to bring Pena stateside? Of course, continuing a trend, Pena is the only "Yerison" to ever play pro ball. This video was posted in 2014, but was likely filmed prior to the 2012 season.

    The Brewers have signed switch-hitting 18-year-old infielder Josue Herrera, who spent last season with the Diamondbacks DSL squad (eight games at second base, two at third base). Herrera showed a good eye in his mini 45-at-bat stint, as you'll note on his player page linked above. Baseball America's Ben Badler wrote this brief note in July of 2013 -- Herrera was not cheap, a $150,000 bonus. His father was the signing scout of Starling Marte, among others. Herrera may have been a necessary sign as part of a "package deal" in what Badler describes, here's the rookie stats for the more promising player the D-Banks inked. Twitter provides a couple of photos.

    The Brewers have signed 22-year-old RHP Yomelbin Almonte, a former farmhand of the Tampa Bay Rays (two years in the DSL, one year in the Florida Gulf Coast Rookie League). Almonte missed all of 2014 with an unknown injury. Click on the photo here for a nice close-up quality look. The Brewers now list Almonte at 6'1", 222, heavier than his 2013 player page notes. Almonte must have one of those "big" arms, check out the BB and HBP numbers (but low K totals), on his player page linked above. He'll start 2015 with the DSL Brewers. And yes, as Milwaukee collects great names, Almonte is the only "Yomelbin" to ever play pro ball.

    Being able to post a tweet like this makes all the archiving we do on this forum worthwhile .

    Two 2014 DSL Brewers will open the 2015 season on the 7-day DL, no word on the nature or severity of their injuries. 20-year-old RHP Melvin Tejada, a three-year DSL vet 18-year-old catcher Yoel Vasquez, who debuted late last season to get in eight August games

    The Dominican Summer League season opens this Saturday 5/30, and we'll be posting numerous updates to this thread this evening, starting with the following: Of the several players from the 2014 DSL club who were in Maryvale for extended spring training, as detailed in this prior post, the only one reporting back to the Dominican for the start of the 2015 season will be SS Franly Mallen, who just turned 18 this past week. All the others listed in that post will be on either the Maryvale or Helena rookie squads. *** Just posted this in our Transactions thread: The Brewers have placed 19-year-old Venezuelan RHP Yosmer Leal on the Arizona roster for the purpose of medical rehab. Leal has had elbow surgery (Tommy John, we presume, but not confirmed), and will miss the 2015 season. The tall (6'4", 170 lb.) Leal has two Dominican Summer League seasons under his belt. Leal has the distinction of being the only "Yosmer" to ever play professional baseball. In another DSL note, RHP Axel Cordero failed to report and will go on the restricted list. Cordero, also tall (6'4") and lanky, will turn 24 in July. He made his pro debut late at age 22, and struggled badly in his 2nd pro season in 2014, as his linked stat page shows.

    How am I supposed to do this with all the "breaking" news today?! - Biloxi stadium go-ahead, Wooten outright, Wagner news...

    As Ken Rosenthal broke the news (actually Tyler's dad did , RHP Tyler Wagner will be added to the 25-man roster (and 40-man), and will join the Brewers' rotation in Wily Peralta's absence. Congrats, Tyler (and family)!

    Through 3.5 innings, I picked a real good night to give Chris Mehring and the Rattlers all my audio attention. Keep it up, Kodi and the boys!

    Poster this elsewhere on the forum today, but also worth making sure all Link Report readers (especially those who find us via Twitter) see this as well -- This is such great content, and IMO the most complete and accurate of any Brewers prospect rankings list that I have come across. That was from back in February -- now the guys have provided a May 27th version for your reading pleasure.

    First appearance by tonight's Biloxi starter, Brooks Hall, in 11 days, as he's coming off two uncharacteristically bad starts, hopefully back on track tonight.
