So, as noted in this morning's Fall/Winter League Update, the Hawaii Winter Baseball season concluded on Sunday with West Oahu's 5-1 loss to Waikiki in the HWB Championship Game. All told, five Brewers played in Hawaii this fall. Let's take a closer look at their performances:

It's worth noting before we begin that Hawaii is a bit of a pitchers' league, with a league OPS of .701, even with the DH in effect. The 2008 NL OPS, for comparison purposes, was .744, without the DH. The AL OPS was .756.

Caleb Gindl, OF

What we knew: Gindl spent the 2008 regular season in West Virginia (low-A), where he hit .307/.388/.474 in 508 regular season at-bats. Gindl turned 20 in August, and was a South Atlantic League Postseason All Star in 2008. In 2007, he led the Pioneer League (Rookie+) in batting average and finished second in OBP. He was selected to the Pioneer League Postseason All Star Team and the Baseball America Rookie All Star Team, and rated as the second best prospect in the Pioneer League and 10th best in the Brewer organization.

What we saw in Hawaii: Gindl played in 25 of the CaneFires' 36 games in Hawaii, batting .281/.361/.438 (.799 OPS) in 96 AB. He crushed righties to the tune of .409/.500/.727 in 44 AB, but hit just .160/.208/.160 in 50 AB vs lefties. During the regular season was actually more productive against lefties. He was the second youngest position player on the CaneFires, and the youngest outfielder by a year and a half. In the field, he made two errors in right, but so far that's all we know.

What to take away from it: 2008 was Gindl's first full professional season, so the simple fact that he was able to hold up through 137 games in West Virginia and another 7 weeks in Hawaii is notable. On the field, Gindl's .799 OPS was above league average, but only the fifth best on his team. All told, this is another promising step for Gindl, but it's probably about the performance one would expect from a well-regarded young prospect.

Logan Schafer, OF:

What we knew: Schafer was the Brewers third round pick in the 2008 Draft, and after a brief stop in Helena he spent most of his first pro season patrolling center field in West Virginia, where he hit .276/.306/.370 in 43 games. It's worth noting that, while this is Schafer's first pro season, he played in college and is already 22, almost two full years older than Gindl.

What we saw in Hawaii: Schafer played in 25 games for the CaneFires, hitting .253/.351/.349 (.700 OPS) in 83 ABs. He stole three bases in four attempts. Small sample size is certainly a factor, but Schafer's splits were all over the place. Nearly all of his extra base hitting came against lefties, where he hit .304/.298/.457. Against righties, his power dissipated but his plate discipline improved dramatically, to the tune of .167/.388/.194. He drew 13 walks against righties, none against lefties. He also hit .326/.420/.465 during the day and .175/.277/.225 at night. His minor league splits suggest he's always been more selective against righties.

What to take away from it: I didn't feel like Gindl played enough to get a fully accurate evaluation, and Schafer played even less. The downside of being a college player in the low minors is that is really only takes a bump or two in the road to end up past the prospect age and still in the minors. Schafer could start 2009 in Brevard County, but he'll be 23 before the season ends and at this point he hasn't done much to establish himself as an upper-echelon prospect. On a positive note, he took as many walks in 86 AB's in Hawaii (13) as he did in 206 ABs between Helena and West Virginia. If he can get his OBP up into the .350-.360 range, his low slugging percentage will be much more tolerable.

Chris Cody, SP

What we knew: Chris Cody is 24 years old and was acquired in the deal that once and for all removed Jose Capellan from the Brewers. He was showered with awards during his collegiate career at Manhattan College, had a good first pro season split between the Tigers and Brewers, and a better second year, going 6-6 with a 1.81 ERA over 114.2 IP (19 appearances, 17 starts) between West Virginia and Brevard County.

What we saw in Hawaii: Cody made eight appearances (7 starts) in Hawaii, and alternated between good and bad starts in an incredibly predictable fashion, giving up just three runs on nine hits in 19 innings of work (1.42 ERA) in starts 1, 3, 5 and 7 and giving up 11 runs on 19 hits in just 12.1 innings of work (8.05 ERA) in starts 2, 4 and 6. He did throw 4.2 scoreless innings out of the bullpen, including 3.2 scoreless in long relief in the HWB Championship game Sunday. Overall, he did not factor in the decision in any of his appearances, but posted a 3.50 ERA in 35 innings of work (including those 3.2 postseason innings). Cody's 32.1 regular season innings were the fourth most thrown by any pitcher in Hawaii.

What to take away from it: At 24, Chris Cody was one of the older players on the CaneFires, and more than four full years older than some players. His flashes of brilliance were at longest 5 innings long and bookended by ineffective starts. Cody is lefthanded and had a relatively dominant season in A-ball (where he was also one of the older players), but he'll come into spring training at 25 years old without ever having pitched above Brevard County, so time is not his friend at the moment.

Cody Scarpetta, SP

What we knew: Scarpetta was an 11th round draft pick in 2007 but didn't actually take the field until rookie ball in 2008 due to a tendon injury in his hand which he explained to Battlekow in this interview. After missing a year to rehab the injury, he split 2008 between Rookie ball stops in Arizona and Helena, going 2-0 with a 2.23 ERA between the two stops in just 36.1 innings. Scarpetta turned 20 in August, and while I don't know this for sure, I'd guess he had as little or less pro experience than any other player in Hawaii. He replaced Mike Ramlow on the CaneFires' roster mid-season.

What we saw in Hawaii: Obviously, as someone who joined a short-season league midseason, Scarpetta didn't get a lot of playing time in Hawaii, but he did factor in the decision of each of his five Hawaii starts, including one postseason start, going 2-3 with a 7.96 ERA in 14.2 innings. He walked 11 over that stretch but also struck out 18, including eight in one start in a dominant win a week ago.

What to take away from it: It's hard to be excited about a pitcher who got rocked a few times and showed control issues, but I don't know how much the Brewers could have reasonably expected from a guy who had only pitched 36 pro innings and never pitched above rookie ball. Scarpetta's few bright spots were pretty bright, though, and show some hope for a guy who's still pretty young.

Mike Ramlow, RP

What we knew: Ramlow just finished his third season in the Brewers organization, and his first full season as a reliever. In 2007, Ramlow went 5-5 with a 6.11 ERA in 104.2 innings, primarily as a starter for West Virginia. In 2008, Ramlow repeated the Sally League and pitched mainly out of the bullpen (25 of 31 appearances), posting a 2.59 ERA in 90.1 innings of work with a 0.94 WHIP. Ramlow is a lefty and will turn 23 in March.

What we saw in Hawaii: Ramlow appeared in six games early in the HWB season, going 2-0 with a 2.61 ERA in 10.1 innings of work. He allowed ten hits and five walks in those innings for a WHIP of 1.45. He was replaced in Hawaii on October 21 by Cody Scarpetta with no mention of injury, so he might have been injured, the team might have just decided to replace him, or the CaneFires might have needed another starter.

What to take away from it: Not much, really. Ramlow might have found his calling as a reliever, but there's not much he could have done in 10.1 innings in Hawaii to confirm or deny that.

In Arizona: On Friday, Lorenzo Cain led off and went 1-for-5 with a double, and Brent Brewer went 2-for-4 with his first AFL home run as the Javelinas defeated Surprise 8-6.

On Saturday, Lou Palmisano went 1-for-4 with a double and Brent Brewer went 1-for-3 with a walk as Surprise returned the favor, 10-8. David Welch pitched two scoreless innings in relief, giving up just one hit and striking out four.

The AFL is off on Sundays to give the players a chance to do some early Christmas shopping. The Javelinas play at Mesa at 1:35 today. The AFL season ends on Thursday.

In Hawai'i: Friday, Caleb Gindl went 3-for-4 with a walk, his fifth AFL home run and three RBI, and Logan Schafer went 0-for-3 as the CaneFires defeated North Shore 6-5.

Saturday's final game of the regular season was rained out.

Then, on Sunday, Caleb Gindl went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts and a GIDP and Cody Scarpetta allowed two runs on four hits and three walks in just 2.1 innings to pick up the loss as the CaneFires lost the HWB Championship game to Waikiki, 5-1. Chris Cody pitched in relief and threw 3.2 scoreless innings, giving up just one hit and striking out two.

With that, the Hawai'i Winter Baseball season has concluded. I'm hoping to write a season recap later today.

In Mexico: Casey McGehee stretched his hitting streak to sixteen games, going 5-for-11 over the weekend with a double, two walks, two home runs and four RBI. He's hitting .331/.354/.562 for Culiacan.

In Venezuela: All stats are from Thursday-Sunday.

The Javelinas host the Saguaros at 8:05 tonight.

In Hawai'i: Caleb Gindl went 2-for-4 with an RBI in the CaneFires' 5-1 win over Honolulu.

All of Thursday's HWB action has already been canceled, leaving just two games left in the HWB schedule and clinching the West division for the CaneFires.

In Mexico:

• Casey McGehee went 1-for-4 with a home run for Culiacan. This was his twelfth consecutive game with a hit and his third consecutive with a home run.

Then on Saturday, no Brewers appeared and the Javelinas lost their 10th game in 11 opportunities, 9-6 to Surprise.

The AFL was off Sunday, so at least the Javelinas didn't lose again. They travel to Mesa at 1:35 today.

In Hawai'i: Caleb Gindl went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Friday, and Logan Schafer went 1-for-3 as the CaneFires defeated North Shore, 4-1.

Saturday, Logan Schafer went 2-for-5 as the CaneFires rode the wave of an 8-run second inning to a 13-4 victory.

Sunday, Logan Schafer entered the game late and went 1-for-1, Caleb Gindl went 1-for-4 and scored a run, and Chris Cody pitched five scoreless innings, allowing one hit and two walks with two strikeouts, as the CaneFires played to a 6-6 7 inning tie.

Hawai'i Winter Baseball is off on Monday to avoid overdoing it. They return to action Tuesday.

In Mexico: Casey McGehee went 3-for-11 over the weekend with a double and his third home run. He has a hit in ten straight games for Culiacan.

In Venezuela:

• Alcides Escobar went 0-for-2 on Saturday for Lara. He's now 3-for his last 34 and hitting .155/.231/.207 overall.

• Brendan Katin went 1-for-8 over the weekend, walked, scored a run and got caught stealing. He's still hitting .253/.345/.693 for Zulia, and still leads the VWL with 10 home runs.

In the Dominican Republic: from Thursday-Saturday's games:

• Brad Nelson walked in his only plate appearance Friday, then went 2-for-4 with two home runs on Saturday. Nelson is hitting .304/.381/804 for Cibao, leads the DWL in OPS and is second in home runs and RBI.

• Jorge Crespo gave up six runs (three earned) on four hits and a walk in .2 innings of work for Arecibo Saturday.
• Richie Gardner started and gave up four runs on six hits in four innings for Carolina Saturday, but escaped with a no decision.
• Steve Bray pitched two scoreless innings of relief, allowing only a walk and a hit for Carolina on Sunday.

Note: Erasmo Ramirez, Jay Gibbons, Chris Woodward and Ozzie Chavez are all minor league free agents now, so they will no longer appear in these reports.

In Arizona: Lou Palmisano went 0-for-2, Lorenzo Cain went 0-for-4, and Alexandre Periard got smoked to the tune of six runs on nine hits in 2.1 innings as the Javelinas lost their eighth straight, 11-4 to Surprise. David Welch and Omar Aguilar each threw a perfect inning of relief with one strikeout.

The Javelinas travel to Surprise at 1:35 today. Expect the unexpected.

In Hawai'i: Caleb Gindl went 1-for-4 and was one of only three CaneFires to get a hit in a nine inning scoreless tie with Honolulu. I didn't realize that was allowed.

The CaneFires are off today to consider how ties affect the integrity of the game. They host North Shore tomorrow.

In Mexico:

• Casey McGehee went 3-for-4 with a home run and drove in three runs for Culiacan. He has a hit in six straight games.
• Chris Woodward went 1-for-4 with a strikeout for Mazatlan. He's had that exact line in three straight games.
• Erasmo Ramirez pitched two scoreless innings yesterday, allowing one hit and striking out two.

In Venezuela: Results from Tuesday and Wednesday:

• Alcides Escobar went 0-for-3 with a walk for Lara Wednesday. He's 1-for his last 17, and hitting .167/.233/.222 in VWL play.
• Tony Gwynn went 1-for-4 with two walks and scored a run Tuesday, then went 0-for-4 with three K's Wednesday.
• Hernan Iribarren went 0-for-4 Wednesday for Lara.
• Brendan Katin continues to destroy Venezuelan pitching. Tuesday he went 2-for-4 with a double and a home run. Wednesday he went 1-for-4 with another home run. He leads the VWL with 10 home runs (second place has 6) and is second in RBI.
• Luis Pena pitched yesterday for the first time since October 15, and showed some signs of rust, giving up a run on two hits in .2 innings.

In the Dominican Republic: Joe Bateman faced one batter and got one out Tuesday. He's pitched five consecutive scoreless outings, spanning five innings.

In Arizona: No Brewers appeared in the Javelinas seventh straight loss, 9-3 to Scottsdale.

The Javelinas host Surprise at 1:35.

In Hawai'i: Caleb Gindl went 2-for-4 with two walks, two doubles, drove in two runs and scored three times, Logan Schafer went 1-for-3 with a double and two walks, and Cody Scarpetta allowed two runs on three hits and four walks while striking out five in four innings to pick up the win as the CaneFires bludgeoned Honolulu, 13-5. Scarpetta also hit a batter, threw a wild pitch and committed an error.

In Mexico: Casey McGehee went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a srtikeout for Mazatlan. He's hit in five straight games (11-for-22). Also for Mazatlan, Chris Woodward went 1-for-4 with a K in his second LMP appearance.

Apparently I'm up too early. The Venezuelan stats aren't up yet, and all I know from the Dominican is that Brad Nelson went 0-for-2 with a strikeout for Cibao. I'll include what I'm missing from today in tomorrow's update.

In Arizona: On Friday, Lorenzo Cain entered the game in the 9th inning as a pinch runner but did not score and the Javelinas fell to Mesa, 3-2.

Then, on Saturday, Brent Brewer went 0-for-2 in his AFL debut, Lou Palmisano went 2-for-2 with an RBI, David Welch allowed two hits and a walk but struck out two in a scoreless inning of work and Omar Aguilar pitched his sixth consecutive scoreless inning in the Javelinas' 13-3 loss to Mesa.

The AFL was off Sunday so the players would have the full day to learn why Arizona doesn't participate in Daylight Savings Time. The Javelinas host Surprise at 8:05 tonight.

In Hawai'i: No Brewer activity on Friday and the CaneFires lost 3-2 to Waikiki.

On Saturday, Logan Schafer went 1-for-4 with a walk and drove in a run as the CaneFires won a wild one, 13-8.

Then, on Sunday, Caleb Gindl went 2-for-4 with a double, scored twice and drove in a run, and Logan Schafer went 2-for-4 with a run but it wasn't enough as Chris Cody gave up four runs on six hits with six strikeouts in five innings of work and Waikiki came from behind to win 6-5.

Hawaii Winter Baseball is off on Monday so the players can canvass for their favorite presidential candidates, but the CaneFires host Honolulu on Tuesday.

In Mexico:

• New Brewer Casey McGehee has been spending his fall playing third base for Culiacan. He went 4-for-16 over the weekend and is hitting .284/.303/.365 overall down there.
• Chris Narveson started for the fourth time for Hermosillo on Friday and picked up a tough luck loss, giving up two runs on five hits and striking out eight in seven innings. He has a 4.87 ERA in Mexico in 20.1 innings of work.
• Erasmo Ramirez pitched a full scoreless inning for Guasave for only the second time in nine appearances. He has a 6.00 ERA and has allowed ten hits in six innings in Mexican Pacific League play.
• Chris Woodward made his Mexican debut Sunday, going 1-for-4 with a run scored for Mazatlan.

In Venezuela:

• Alcides Escobar went 1-for-6 over the weekend and is 1-for his last 14 for Lara. He's hitting .176/.232/.235 in 51 ABs in Venezuela.
• Jay Gibbons went 3-for-4 with a double and a walk on Friday, but went 0-for-5 over Saturday and Sunday for Magallanes. He's hitting .204/.338/.463 in Venezuela, largely because he's only hitting .130/.310/.261 against lefties.
• Tony Gwynn went 6-for-13 over the weekend with a double, a walk and four strikeouts for Magallanes. He's hitting .339/.391/.403 in VWL play.
• Hernan Iribarren is on fire, going 7-for-14 with three triples, six runs scored, a stolen base and a caught stealing for Lara. He's hitting .362/.433/.586 in 66 plate appearances.
• Brendan Katin is also staying hot, going 5-for-10 over the weekend, including a 4-for-6 performance with a double and two home runs for Zulia Sunday. He's hitting .254/.338/.695 in Venezuela and leads the league in home runs with 8.

Both Katin and Iribarren are in the top 10 in the VWL in OPS.

In the Dominican Republic: From Thursday-Saturday's action:

• Ozzie Chavez went 1-for-4 with a walk over three appearances for Este. He's hitting .269/.424/.385 in DWL play.
• Brad Nelson must be seeing the ball pretty well. On Thursday he went 4-for-4 with a double, a triple and two home runs, driving in seven. He also went 2-for-3 with a walk and a double Saturday. He's hitting .326/.383/.814 in the Dominican, and ranks in the top three in HR, RBI and OPS.
• Joe Bateman pitched in back to back games Friday and Saturday for Este, pitching a scoreless inning and a third with a walk on Friday and another scoreless two thirds on Saturday despite a hit and two walks.
• Sam Narron had a rough start Friday, giving up six runs on seven hits in just 1.1 innings for Este.

In Arizona: Lorenzo Cain got his first start at DH and went 1-for-3, Alexandre Periard got his first start and gave up six runs on six hits and two walks in 1.2 innings, and David Welch pitched a perfect inning in relief (on 6 pitches) as the Javelinas lost to Phoenix again, 7-1.

The Javelinas travel to Mesa at 2:35 today.

In Hawai'i: Caleb Gindl went 0-for-2 with a walk as the CaneFires lost to North Shore for the second straight day, 6-3 in 7 innings.

The CaneFires host Waikiki tonight at midnight.

In Mexico: Erasmo Ramirez pitched a full inning last night for only the third time in eight appearances for Guasave, but gave up two runs on three hits.

In Venezuela:

• Jay Gibbons went 1-for-2 with two walks and a 3 run home run (his fourth) for Magallanes.
• Also for Magallanes, Tony Gwynn went 2-for-2 with a walk and scored 3 times.
• Hernan Iribarren went 0-for-3 with a walk and scored a run for Lara, ending his 9 game hittings streak.
• Brendan Katin went 1-for-4 with a solo home run for Zulia, his fifth home run in seven games.

In the Dominican Republic: It appears the box scores have fallen a day behind again. Here are results from Wednesday:

• Ozzie Chavez went 0-for-2 with a strikeout for Este.
• Brad Nelson went 0-for-7 with 3 K's in Cibao's 13-inning win over Este.
• In the same game, Joe Bateman pitched a perfect inning in relief.
• Rafael Lluberes also pitched for Cibao in that game, and gave up a hit and a walk in .2 innings of work.

In Arizona: Lorenzo Cain went 1-for-3 with a walk and his second home run, and Lou Palmisano went 1-for-4 with a double and scored a run, but they were the only offense the Javelinas could muster as they got blown out by Phoenix, 10-2. Brae Wright contributed to the carnage, giving up four runs on four hits in a third of an inning.

With the HR, Cain is hitting .345/.387/.586 for the Javelinas. They return to action today at 2:35 when they travel to Phoenix.

Also, as Tom H. notes, Brent Brewer has replaced Taylor Green on the Javelinas' roster. Taylor Green will require surgery to repair his broken nose.

In Hawai'i: Cody Scarpetta's debut for the CaneFires did not go well, as he started and allowed five runs on four hits and two walks in one third of an inning. Caleb Gindl went 1-for-4 with a double and Logan Schafer went 1-for-4 with an RBI but it was not enough as North Shore coasted to a 7-3 victory.

The CaneFires play at North Shore again tonight at 8.

In Venezuela:

• Alcides Escobar went 0-for-4 last night for Lara. He's now 2-for his last-21 with one walk.

In the Dominican Republic: Ozzie Chavez went 0-for-2 with a strikeout for Este.

In Arizona: Omar Aguilar pitched a scoreless inning, giving up a hit and striking out two as the Javelinas lost to Scottsdale, 3-2.

The Javelinas host Phoenix today at 2:35.

In Hawai'i: Caleb Gindl went 1-for-5 and drove in two runs, Logan Schafer went 2-for-4 with a walk, stole a base and scored twice and Chris Cody pitched five scoreless innings with two hits, two walks and four K's as the CaneFires scored six runs in the tenth inning to defeat North Shore, 8-2.

The CaneFires play at North Shore again tonight at 8.
