NL Central Notes: Brewers, Young, Kazmir

By Ben Nicholson-Smith | February 14, 2012 at 1:40pm CDT

The Brewers beat Jose Veras in arbitration, so he’ll earn $2MM in 2012, rather than the $2.375MM he had asked for. Here are the latest links from the NL Central…

  • Both the Brewers and agent Bryce Dixon used Kameron Loe's recent $2.175MM agreement to argue their respective cases in the Veras hearing, MLB.com's Adam McCalvy reports. 
  • It's been 25 days since the arbitration hearing for Ryan Braun's appeal of a positive drug test began, but the soft deadline passed without a decision, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel writes. A decision is expected within ten days.
  • The Pirates were impressed by Dmitri Young's workout yesterday, but they won't offer him a contract, Rob Biertempfel of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review tweets. Manager Clint Hurdle said he got a good read on the the 38-year-old after yesterday’s workout.
  • The Astros have already seen Scott Kazmir throw, so they don't intend to watch him audition in front of scouts tomorrow, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com tweets.

    “The Astros have already seen Scott Kazmir throw…”

    In other words, they have had their fair share of throwers over the past couple of seasons and actually want to bring in pitchers…

    I’d like to see Dmitri Young get a shot with someone.

    I dont see why the Astros wouldnt take a shot on Kazmir…best case scenario he has a decent first half and they can flip him to a contender. Not like he will be making big money. What ever happened to Dmitri Young?

      Isn’t he throwing in the high 70s or something?

        I heard he was throwing 82-85mph.

        So sad to see such a stud of a pitcher just a couple years ago get to this point.

        That’s what happens with a smaller body, a hard thrower, plus a lot of innings and sliders at an incredibly young age leads to.

          How about Victor Zambrano? Now he was a stud for the Mets…

            Smaller frames (6’0 or less) with hard pitching in a starting role usually don’t add up.

      They watched him throw 2 weeks ago.  It isn’t necessarily that they aren’t interested, they’re just ahead of everybody else(due to already being in Houston where he lives).

      They also reportedly held a secret tryout for Dmitri Young.
      (I’d post a link for that, but I did that last night and apparently TCB isn’t one of the sites you’re allowed to link to.)

    I’d like to see the Reds sign Dmitri to a minor league contract. He would get his chance and it would be a low risk move for Cincy.

      No. Just no. That’s a wasted spot at AAA that a legitiment prospect could have.

    Roy Hobbs had “Wonderboy.” Dmitri Young has “Wonderbread.” Kinda sorry the Bucs didn’t take a chance on him. Woulda been interesting.
