Brewers Rumors: Crede, Riske, Gagne, Dotel

MLB.com's Adam McCalvy recently filed a report with a few new Brewers tidbits.  Nothing new on the Scott Rolen front, but feel free to jump over to that rumor to discuss it.  On to McCalvy's article:

  • The Brewers briefly discussed Joe Crede at last month's GM Meetings.  The Brewers and White Sox have been on friendly terms in the past; maybe they can work something out.  There hasn't been much buzz about Crede lately, but the Carlos Quentin acquisition seems to punch his ticket out of town.
  • The Brewers passed on an effective one-year, $8.5MM contract for Geoff Jenkins for '08.  The Brewers prefer to replace him with a lefty hitter with a solid OBP, but don't find the free agent options to be superior.  A Gabe Gross/Tony Gwynn Jr. combo may be sufficient.
  • The David Riske signing may be announced Tuesday, but the Brewers need to clear up a 40-man roster spot first.  My guess is that Melvin will dispense of Kevin Mench one way or another.
  • The Brewers have a passing interest in Eric Gagne and Octavio Dotel, but probably won't end up with either due to injury concerns.  Melvin has not been in touch with their agents.
