![]() Does that mean anything for the week? We’ll find out. I can tell you this: his brother Perry Minasian is the assistant GM for the Braves. I probably should’ve requested to connect with him to see what else is on his page. And as you can see, some of these players were on the Brewers’ roster this postseason. It would not have taken a brain genius, though, to know that Yelich was a top talent - BUT! Note that two of the players involved in the Yelich trade - Lewis Brinson and Isan Diaz - were players acquired in other trades. He was also, certainly, involved in the trade for Christian Yelich last offseason, but wasn’t the director of pro scouting at the time. 2016: Milwaukee Brewers traded 2B Jean Segura and RHP Tyler Wagner to Arizona Diamondbacks for RHP Chase Anderson, 3B Aaron Hill, SS Isan Diaz and cash.2016: Milwaukee Brewers traded C Jonathan Lucroy and RHP Jeremy Jeffress to Texas Rangers for CF Lewis Brinson, RHP Luis Ortiz and Player To Be Named Later.2016: Milwaukee Brewers traded LHP Will Smith to San Francisco Giants for C Andrew Susac and RHP Phil Bickford.Milwaukee Brewers traded LF Khris Davis to Oakland Athletics for RHP Bubba Derby and C Jacob Nottingham. ![]() 2015: Milwaukee Brewers traded LF Gerardo Parra to Baltimore Orioles for RHP Zach Davies.2015: Milwaukee Brewers traded CF Carlos Gomez, RHP Mike Fiers and Other Considerations to Houston Astros for RHP Adrian Houser, OF Brett Phillips, RF Domingo Santana and LHP Josh Hader.2014: Arizona Diamondbacks traded RF Gerardo Parra to Milwaukee Brewers for LHP Anthony Banda and RF Mitch Haniger.2012: Zack Greinke to the Angels for Jean Segura (Sickels rated him the Angels’ 3rd-best prospect ), RHP Ariel Pena, and RHP Johnny Hellweg.Some notable deals during his time with the Brewers: His age and relative experience in an analytics-driven front office means he and Farhan should speak the same language and have a similar sense of the players in pro ball, perfect for trades but also for any free agent signings that might present themselves over the course of the next week. He decides where to send scouts to look at players in advance of trades. So, any player in affiliated baseball, I should know - our scouts, our pro scouts should know, and we have to be able to give the rest of the front office scouting reports, and so on and so forth, any information on those players. On the professional side, we oversee major league players, minor league players, and independent leagues. So, the amateur side oversees high school players, college players, junior college players. If you didn’t watch the video, he gives a really simple description of what his job entails (basically the same one he’ll be holding with the Giants) and how it’s different from the Giants’ other hire this evening in the role of Director of Amateur Scouting: Here he is talking to the Brewers’ TV crew about the 2015 trade deadline: Prior to his two-year stint in the special advisor capacity, he was the Brewers’ director of pro scouting from 2010-2016. His bona fides should help swallow that a little bit. That’s a huge demerit for Zack Jr., but this offseason has been all about swallowing the bitter pill of Dodgerdom to make the Giants better. His family has a long history in the majors, though, and Minasian’s experience is somewhat like that of Dereck Rodriguez’s: he and his brothers - Rudy, Perry, and Calvin - grew up hanging around big leaguers in the clubhouse thanks to their dad, Zack Sr., who was the clubhouse manager for the Texas Rangers. Minasian is just 34 years old and began his baseball career with the Brewers at the age of 20. Zack Minasian receives a promotion from the Milwaukee Brewers’ “Special Advisor - Scouting” to the Giants’ Director of Pro Scouting. With the Winter Meetings set to start tomorrow, Farhan Zaidi has solidified two key positions ahead of what’s sure to be a week filled with trades and signings by hiring new heads of pro and amateur scouting.
