Minor League Transaction Thread-- Latest: Nelson to AAA, Gagnon to AA

[Mass Haas]

Scooter Gennett to Milwaukee - I imagine there will be plenty of discussion on our major league forum.

 

Congrats, our Muppet Babies friend.

I was a closet Keeling fan, I'm actually kind of sad to see him go.

[Mass Haas]

Via Chris and the Rattlers --

 

C Brent Dean activated from Wisconsin’s Disabled List for today

 

C Clint Coulter placed on Wisconsin’s Disabled List retroactive to May 30

 

***

 

There has been no word on the nature or severity of Coulter's injury.

 

Via Tom Haudricourt:

 

1st round draft pick Clint Coulter went on TimberRattlers DL today with oblique strain that is not believed to be too serious.

[Mass Haas]

Via the Sounds' media notes --

 

To backfill Scooter's spot at AAA, veteran middle infielder Ozzie Chavez gets bumped back up to Nashville from Huntsville.

 

(Mike Fiers won't be reporting to Nashville for a few days...)

 

That leaves the Stars currently one roster player short.

That leaves the Stars currently one roster player short.

 

Not really, as catcher Joey Paciorek is activated from the Stars' DL.

[Minigoon]

Not officially announced yet, but mentioned in the Huntsville broadcast tonight, Jimmy Nelson moving on up to Nashville. Well deserved. Nelson has been one of the top pitchers in the Southern League all season.

Adam McCalvy tweets...Nelson to AAA, Drew Gagnon to AA, someone to Milwaukee, but he doesn't know who yet.

[brewmann04]

Thanks for the clarification on Nelson nice to see him get moved up and replace one of the Veteran pitchers that on the Sounds roster.

Probably Narveson going to milwaukee

Probably Narveson going to milwaukee

 

Tyler Thornburg coming up.

[LouisEly]

Makes sense. Narveson wouldn't be able to go after throwing 45 pitches last night, and based on his performance has a few kinks to work out. Thornburg started on 6/1 so he's had three days rest and could go multiple innings in relief.

[brewmann04]

i believe Thornburg has pitched better in his last few starts.

nice to have Hellweig and Nelson at Nashville,now like to see Bradley join Gangon and Jungeman

in Huntsville.

[dacbrewers]

Based on what I have seen this year...Goforth deserves to be moved up to AA.

[TooLiveBrew]

i believe Thornburg has pitched better in his last few starts.

in Huntsville.

Not his last few starts -- only two of his last five starts have been decent to good. Glad for Tyler to see him get the call-up, and hopefully he can regain his form in the bigs.

[markedman5]

I believe they plan on starting Thornburg not pitching him in long relief.......

 

 

or maybe they have no idea what they are going to do...

 

Adam McCalvy ‏@AdamMcCalvy 3m Details coming to the site, but Thornburg will go to the bullpen today & won't necessarily start Sat. Could be a 'bullpen game' instead.

[CheezWizHed]

My apologies to all for bothering to read JSOnline prior to coming here for news.... they are still reporting Estrada's next start as "unknown".

[Mass Haas]

We'll close this unwieldingly-long thread as of tonight's draft and kick off a new post-draft 2013 transaction thread.
