the 40-man roster is at capacity with today's claim of ben rowen from toronto. rowen has been optioned to colorado springs, but he will enter 2017 spring training with no minor league options remaining.

Keep an Eye on the 40-Man Roster
djoctagone replied to splitterpfj's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
we saw last season that david stearns opted to add many players to the 40-man in september and let them play, rather than wait until the offseason. of course, injuries and a stubborn matt garza contributed to that . . . -
So could Houser. So there is plenty of room. I assume there is advantages to not automatically throwing players on the 60 man DL unless you absolutely need their spot, but I forget what they are. when a player is put on the 60-day disabled list, he earns major league pay and accrues major league service time. the brewers anticipated doing this with santana for all of 2016. the brewers likely did not intend for houser to accrue up to two months' pay and service time without him being able to help the club win. it should be noted that yhonathan barrios (on the 60-day dl all season) will earn a year of major league service time and a year of big league pay--all without ever being on the club's 25-man roster. that's an oft-overlooked cost to add the likes of a blaine boyer or chris capuano at the end of spring training. i am assuming that if houser were placed on the 60-day disabled list in september, he would only receive major league pay for the number of days spent on the 60-day disabled list until either activated and returned to the 40-man roster after the season ends, or activated and outrighted--not a full 60 days' pay. thus, there's likely an advantage to delay transferring houser to the 60-day disabled list.

although craig counsell has yet to appoint a new closer, tyler thornburg certainly made a case for himself by preserving a one-run lead last night. it also sends a positive message to other brewers prospects. thornburg and david goforth are the only two members of the bullpen drafted by the brewers, and the previous closer was also drafted by the brewers.
-
the roster is currently at 39. if at 40, domingo santana could likely be transferred to the 60-day disabled list to open up a spot.
-
things did indeed change. it's still notable that from 1 june until 31 july, the brewers played with an eight-man bullpen. that's the longest stretch i'm able to recall.
-
the trade of jonathan lucroy and jeremy jeffress opened up two spots on the 40-man roster. manny pina becomes the seventh non-roster player in 2016 spring training to have his contract selected by the brewers. pina does not have any minor league options remaining. the roster is at 39, with a spot still open on the 25-man roster.
-
if this trade is two for two, it opens up two spots on the 40-man roster.
-
andrew susac takes will smith's spot on the 40-man roster. susac has at least one minor league option remaining; he may not have burned an option in 2015, which would leave him two entering 2017 spring training. the 40-man remains at capacity.
-
it appears that susac has two minor league options remaining. he spent time optioned in 2015, but it looks like he may have spent less than 20 days optioned that year.

Lucroy to Cleveland - LUCROY HAS VETOED THE TRADE
djoctagone replied to And That's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
lucroy stayed in milwaukee overnight, and will fly to san diego in time for tonight's game if not traded. -
in 1989, with a 6-3 lead in the 9th against toronto, the bases loaded and one out, trebelhorn pulled greg brock from first base put chuck crim there. tony fossas came in to relieve, and walked in a run. trebelhorn pulled fossas, moved crim back to the mound, and brought in terry francona to play first. crim retired the next two batters for the save.

Catchers who WOAH SOLVDD nothing (worst catchers)
djoctagone replied to Funketown's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
six different players saw time behind the dish in 2002, including one game from izzy alcantara. -
i know that things may change by the non-waiver trading deadline, but the brewers have held an eight-man bullpen since 1 june.
-
i've often suggested that the brewers (or any other major league club, for that matter) should never open the season with a five-man rotation. what's the point of having five starting pitchers when the fourth guy likely won't pitch until the fifth or sixth day of the season, and the fifth guy might not get a start until a few weeks into the season? if the #4 and/or#5 pitcher can be optioned with backdate into spring training and have the 10th day of being optioned be the scheduled day to start a game for the big league club, why shouldn't his team have an extra position player or two to take his spot(s) on the roster?
-
cecchini is currently on an optional assignment to the minor leagues, meaning he can be sent back and forth all season. he has burned his final option year and will enter 2017 spring training with no minor league options remaining.
-
yadiel rivera recalled to take aaron hill's roster spot. the club has thirteen position players for the time being. looks like garin cecchini may have to wait a bit longer for a potential recall.
-
I assumed he was still going wherever the Brewers go. Is he actually joining the Skysox? davies has to physically report to the city that the sky sox are playing in within three days of being optioned.
-
with the trade of aaron hill for two minor leaguers from the red sox system, the roster is at 39.
-
in a sign of good faith, when the brewers tender a contract to davies for 2017, they can pad his salary by $24,000. it won't make up for the 10 days of lost service time, but at least it'll make up for the dock in pay.
-
knebel likely won't be down for even that long, according to craig counsell. as mentioned above, if knebel truly spends only ten days or so in the minors, is recalled and stays with the team or the major league disabled list for the rest of the season, he will not have burned his 2016 option. unless replacing an injured player, knebel must remain optioned for at least ten days. knebel has certainly worked out the kinks. if he isn't recalled in the next couple of days, he will have spent more than 20 days optioned in 2016, and his final minor league option will be burned.
-
middlebrooks didn't have an opt-out clause, which allows the player to declare free agency. he had an assignment clause, which required the brewers to offer him to all other teams. it's been reported that at least one team expressed interest in acquiring him, and the brewers felt they were better off adding him to the big league roster than getting whatever was offered in return.
-
this move still leaves the brewers with an eight-man bullpen. it's too bad that the brewers optioned davies so early in spring training. when he was recalled on 17 april, he had already spent 29 days optioned to the minor leagues, which burned his first minor league option. had davies been optioned towards the end of spring training, the brewers might not have optioned him today, because he would've spent less than 20 days in the minor leagues to date in 2016 (which would preserve his option).
-
craig counsell says we should be talking more about this guy. trade piece or building block?
-
seven non-roster invitees from 2010 spent time on the 2010 25-man roster. i haven't researched prior to 2010 to see if seven is a record high. so, 2016 isn't necessarily a record . . . yet.
