Shouse Seeks Two Years
According to Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, free agent reliever Brian Shouse is looking for a two-year deal. MLB.com's Adam McCalvy first reported this on October 30th. The Brewers want to do one year, and their recent signing of lefty R.J. Swindle may mean Shouse is less likely to re-sign. The Rockies have discussed Shouse internally, according to Troy Renck. The Tigers are another possibility.
Haudricourt also notes that Doug Melvin talked to Gabe Kapler but did not make an offer. Melvin may be more focused on lefthanded hitters. It's been suggested that the Red Sox could bring Kapler back.

Shouse is a fine LOOGY. Yost used him against righties too much last year. Plus, he was overworked at the end of 07 since he & Cordero were the only penners who could get anyone out.

"whats a Loogy?"
Lefty One Out Getter.
Pretty much, a lefty you bring in to get that tough LH batter out, but is horrible against righties.

I'd LOVE to see him in Cleveland uniform next year. Take some pressure off Perez or allow him to move to the closer's role. Shouse would be cheaper than Hoffman....
