Last June, in the seventeenth round of the MLB Amateur Draft, the Brewers selected a 5’6”, 160 pound speedster named Clayton Andrews. Andrews has a plus defensive profile in the outfield, and he had just hit .302 while striking out only six times for Long Beach State. He hadn’t flashed much power at the plate, […]

Arizona Fall League Wrap
This year’s iteration of the Arizona Fall League (AFL) wrapped up recently, and it concluded with a championship celebration for the Peoria Javelinas. The club, populated by farmhands from the Brewers, Braves, Padres, Rays, and Mariners, finished the regular season with a league-best 21-9 record. That earned them a date in the AFL title game […]
Projecting the Protected: Trey Supak
Trey Supak is having a great 2018. He started the season pitching for the Carolina Mudcats, obliterated Carolina League hitters for a couple of months, and was granted a promotion to Biloxi, where he pretty much did more of the same. As a reward for the young righty’s efforts, he was added to Milwaukee’s 40-man […]
Taylor Reaches Roster
Once upon a time, Tyrone Taylor was considered to be one of the best prospects in all of baseball. The 2012 second-round draftee was rated as Milwaukee’s Number Two overall prospect prior to the 2014 season according to Baseball America, and he was ranked as the organization’s top prospect and baseball’s 93rd overall before the […]
Weston Wilson: Unlikely Javelina
The 2018 Brewers minor league season went out with a bit of a fizzle on Saturday evening, as the Biloxi Shuckers fell 3-2 to the Jackson Generals in game four of the Southern League Championship Series. Tough end notwithstanding, it was an interesting year for player development up and down the Milwaukee system, and particularly […]
Jon Olczak goes to Arizona
The minor league baseball regular season is drawing to an end, which means that the start of Arizona Fall League is rapidly approaching. The prospect hotbed is a fun follow not only because we get to see some of the top minor leaguers from all levels compete one against each other (like Vladimir Guerrero Jr, […]
Perrin / Biasi Trade
A few weeks ago, the Milwaukee Brewers and Kansas City Royals executed a minor trade that probably flew under the radar for most followers of the game. Personally, however, I was disappointed to see the Brewers part with right-handed pitcher/licensed financial advisor/political pundit/future lawyer Jon Perrin, who had been one of my favorite prospects to […]
Organizational No-No!
The Milwaukee Brewers have been playing major league baseball as a franchise for nearly 50 years now, but the organization can claim only one no-hitter thrown at the big league level. If you have ever watched at least one TV broadcast featuring color commentator Bill Schroeder, you know that said event occurred all the way […]
The New Rymer Liriano
On July 20, in a move that was largely buried under trade speculation and losing streak hysteria, the Brewers signed outfielder Rymer Liriano to a minor league contract and sent him to Colorado Springs. Until now, the Brewers hadn’t made an appearance on the back of any of Liriano’s baseball cards, but this is the […]
Soria Prospects: Medeiros and Perez
The summer trading season is in full swing in Major League Baseball, with several moves, both major and minor, consummated around the league over the past few days. The Milwaukee Brewers fired their first salvo over the bow yesterday, landing right-handed reliever Joakim Soria in a swap with the Chicago White Sox. In exchange for […]
