Big League Camp Invites

[KeithStone53151]

 

Hiura, Orf, Wren, Burnes, Ortiz, Perrin. None of these surprise me. Hiura and Ortiz probably won't stay long. Perrin will probably eat up some innings. Burnes will probably get an extended look if he performs well. Wren and Orf will probably see a lot of playing time and hopefully impress enough to get a shot in the event of injury at some point in the season. Both Wren and Orf are low k/contact guys that would diversify the approach of the MLB team.

Kind of surprised by Hiura but I guess they usually do that with their top pick from the previous year.

[sarcasm]It's probably to make Perez, Sogard, and Villar sweat a bit.[/sarcasm]

If Hiura comes up and impresses, it would be safe to assume those guys will be wondering how long they have job security here for. He's not a threat this year, but maybe next year.

Impressing in ST, especially early means very little. Erceg looked last year like he was just about ready for the bigs, then struggled for parts of the year in A+ ball.

brewers.com doesn't have a list up . . . am i missing anyone here? if not, the number of non-roster invitees is only 12, which is low.

ernesto frieri

keston huira

Neither Brady nor Davis are listed under the Non-Roster tab at the top of the roster. I remember Davis as an NRI but not Brady.

michael brady was the first non-roster invitee, i believe.

i think yesterday's moves bode well for kyle wren in 2018. assuming santana is traded, and brett phillips is given right field, the brewers may not want to carry two backup outfielders with low obp and/or high strikeout rates, and that's what you get with hernan perez and keon broxton.

[jerichoholicninja]

If Perez and Broxton are both on the team, another OF seems wasteful.

[djoctagone]

wade miley becomes the 13th non-roster invitee.

[djoctagone]

nick franklin becomes the 14th non-roster invitee.

[ecjimg]

I would like to see them ranked (opinions) on how likely they are to make the opening day roster. Did Franklin last year? I know he was around for a while. Who is most likely? Frieri? Hoover?

To me, it would seem you would need three of these players to be traded before Wren became a viable option to make the 25 man roster. Santana, Phillips, Broxton, Perez

 

Because if we just trade Santana, Braun is going to be a corner OF and either Phillips or Broxton will be the 4th OF. Perez will be the 5th OF.

catcher dustin houle is a non-roster invitee. that makes 15.

[djoctagone]

up to 16 non-roster invitees.

If Hoover has a good spring, I can see Barnes being optioned or Jeffress DFAd.

[pacopete4]

I would like to see Christian Betancourt overtake Bandy for the third catcher spot.

franklin was claimed after the brewers' season had started last year. his tenure with the club was nearly three months.

An attainable goal! When he was signed, my first thought was why did they sign him? It seems like his name has bounced around for 15 years, I thought he was in his 30's! Shocked to find out he is only 26!

Burnes... zero unless they sign no one else. If they add no other pitchers I'd still lean zero but I'd give him a 20% shot at being called up as soon as it doesn't screw up his arby years.

 

Wade miley... 50/50 as of now. Add an arm and I think its zero.

 

I don't see anyone else on this list unless barnes looks dreadful or injuries arise.

 

Hoping Perrin shows well. Feel like he'll never get a shot here though.

[djoctagone]

these players were reassigned to minor league camp: rhp corbin burnes, rhp erik davis, rhp luis ortiz and rhp jon perrin.

 

down to 12 non-roster invitees in major league camp.

[bork]

Hiura and Brady returned to minor league.

 

Hiura made a good impression and it sounds like he's on the fast track.

If his glove can hold up, his bat looks team altering good!

 

Hiura Yelich Braun/Thames Shaw Cain C phillips arcia is filthy and blows the defensive capabilities through the roof.

[djoctagone]

ernesto frieri was released yesterday. down to nine non-roster invitees still in camp.
