Saturday's Lineups and Sunday's projected pitchers --

 

[Noche]

Demi batting cleanup for the A+ squad the first two games is pretty neato even if short-lived. The McFarland vs. Betancourt placements will be interesting. Both should probably be in AA. The likely Harrison, Diaz, Clark top of the order in Appleton is must see baseball. Great to see both Segovia and Harrison back in the lineup day 1 after lower body injuries last season.

[Mass Haas]

@BrewersPD from Game One's:

 

Col Springs & Louisville played to 6-6 draw. Orf & Ramirez both went deep. Jorge Lopez posted 3 scoreless frames.

 

Biloxi downed Pensacola, 7-4. Nottingham 2 2Bs, 2 RBI, 3 R, 2 BB. Cooper, Coulter, McFarland 2 hits each. Archer w/5 strikeouts in 2 IP

 

Brevard outslugged Daytona, 10-9. Gatewood w/2 3Bs. Orimoloye 2x5, 4 RBI. Stokes 2x2 w/2B. Ponce 4 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 SO.

 

Wis walked-off Dayton, 8-7. Belonis 3x4, Mallen 2x2 w/2B, McDowell 2x2, 2 R. Lindell and Peralta tossed two shutout innings each.

Day Two via Voice of the Sky Sox Dan Karcher: - More Nick Ramirez

 

ST gm.2 for @skysox went to @KnightsBaseball 8-2. Fmr @BaseballTitans @N_ram33 3 more hits @Brewers @XTRASports1300

[Mass Haas]

We've been informed the Brewers won't be distributing spring minor league boxes going forward. To be honest, was kind of surprised they did in the past, jobs on the line, placements on the line, may as well simply accentuate the positives. So we'll enjoy those, and thank them for past information.

From Baseball America's Josh Norris (Saturday's action) --

 

On the other side of the Camelback Ranch complex, the White Sox’s and Brewers’ lower-level teams played a pair of games. On the low Class A field, new Milwaukee shortstop Isan Diaz (acquired from Arizona in the trade that sent righthander Tyler Wagner to the desert) showed off that power that helped him lead the Pioneer League in slugging.

 

He socked a double and a long home run, both pulled to the right side, during the middle portion of the game. He slotted in as Arizona’s No. 9 prospect before the trade, and would likely rank among Milwaukee’s Nos. 11-15 prospects.

 

With Milwaukee, he joins a pair of talented shortstop prospects in Orlando Arcia (No. 1 in the system and No. 8 in this year’s Top 100) and Gilbert Lara (No. 5 in the system). Yadiel Rivera (No. 21) is in the mix for a big league utility spot this year as well.

 

Milwaukee righthander Marcos Diplan (No. 18 in the system) also pitched in this game, and showed a fastball between 92-94 with excellent bore in on righthanded hitters, though his control was lacking.

 

Against Milwaukee starter Devin Williams, White Sox first base prospect Corey Zangari—the team’s No. 13 prospect and its sixth-round pick in last year’s draft—clubbed a long home run just left of center field.

 

Known for his power, Zangari swatted six home run in the Rookie-level Arizona League last summer, good for fourth-most on the circuit.

Does it mean anything that Lara has played with the High A team the last two days? Hasn't it been consensus here that he'll stay in Arizona after camp breaks.

I figure Lara and Orimoloye are both still headed for Helena but who knows.

[Jenkins5]

I asked BrewerPD if Tyrone Perry was injuried since he hasn't been playing but apparently he is healthy & just not playing at all.... Dog house? Weight still going up from the 305 in fall instructional? Really curious about what the deal is with his natural/advanced approach at the plate

[And That]

Seeing Clint Terry's name in the group of Helena pitchers makes me happy.

[Mass Haas]

More videos and analysis from Adam McInturff of Baseball Prospectus

 

By the way, can they please completely re-construct Tyrone Taylor's stance already?

[FVBrewerFan]

Nice to see guys not even sniffing anyone's Top 25 having a good spring. While they aren't super-stacked at the very top, they are incredibly deep in prospects.

[Mass Haas]

 

From February 2nd:

 

As per Matt Eddy and Baseball America's Minor League Free Agent Tracker, the Brewers have signed 24-year-old switch-hitting super utility player (including catcher) Fidel Pena, who just completed a seven-year run with the Diamondbacks, the organization that signed him as a teenager out of the Dominican Republic.

 

Via his Baseball Reference page, you'll see that Pena plays all over the field. He topped out in the high-A Cal League with Arizona, and almost certainly will slide in to a manager's dream utility role perhaps at Biloxi, but probably more likely with Brevard County to begin 2016.

 

Notice that on his Twitter page, he calls himself "C/INF/OF" -- yes, 67 career games behind the plate.

 

Here's a collection of six video clips dating back to 2013 on Pena.

 

Welcome Fidel, good luck with the Crew.

 

Have noticed that Pena has been seeing his action behind the dish thus far...
