After taking some time off for the holiday season, I think it's time to get things cooking again. Let's see what the Brewers have been up to since Melvin got home from vacation:

• The Brewers have invited Laynce Nix and Steve Bray to their major league spring training camp. This is good news. Nix is simply looking to make it click still, and who knows when he can break out in the big leagues. He's mostly a power hitter that gets fooled by major league stuff, but at 27 years old, maybe he'll turn the corner. I'm excited that Nix cleared wavers to get invited back to camp.
  
  Bray, on the other hand, has an outside shot at making the big league bullpen if he continues his good work. Last year in Triple-A, Bray posted a 1.62 earned run average. In 77 2/3 innings, he allowed 59 hits and 26 walks while striking out 73 hitters. Not bad at all. At 27 years old as well, he'll have to turn a corner to continue to be worthwhile.
