Good things brewing for Soto

Winnipeg Goldeyes News Release
Darwin Soto is on his way back to organized baseball.
Following a month of outstanding relief for the Goldeyes, Soto's contract was picked up today by the Milwaukee Brewers, who have assigned him to their Florida State (High A) League club in Brevard County.
Winnipeg's closer, Soto was 1-0 with a 1.26 earned run average and five saves in 10 appearances. He struck out 18 and walked just three in 14-plus innings while holding opponents to just a .082 average.
Soto came to the Goldeyes following a year in the Seattle system and five years before that in the San Diego system. His contract is the first sold this season by the Goldeyes to a Major League organization and the 39th in franchise history. He is also the first Winnipeg player to be picked up by Milwaukee.
FISH FOOD: As the Goldeyes said good-bye to Soto, they said hello to pitcher Justin Knoff. The 24-year-old signed today after beginning the year in the St. Louis system. He is expected to make his Northern League debut Friday night as the starter when Winnipeg opens a three-game set in St. Paul.
