Brewers Looking For Pitching

Trevor Hoffman makes a lot of sense for the Brewers.

Maybe they can sign him after they trade Mike Cameron to the Yankees for Melky Cabrera & Ian Kennedy? Mike & C.C. are going to tear that city up!

I also like a Randy Johnson signing for Milwaukee.

i wouldnt like randy johnson coming. as much as i like him as a player and a future HOF, i think hes wayyyyyyyy to old for the brewers roster. i think the brewers will offer fuentes a contract, however there is a lot of teams going for him right now.

Agree that the Yankees will not give us Kennedy and Cabrera for Cameron.

Trade Cameron and Hall to the Yankees for Cabrera and prospect

Sign Randy Johnson

I think the Brewers should solve their closer role internally with McClung.

Sign a relief pitcher but not a closer

1b fielder
2b weeks
ss escobar
3b lamb
lf braun
cf cabrera
rf hart

yovanni

parra

bush in bullpen

If that's true, and I take it with a grain of salt since 90% of these rumors are debunked, then the Brewers are done. Their run lasted all of two years. Poorly managed on Melvin's part, they had a solid nucleus two years ago and he made some bad choices.

sign hoffman to a 1 year, 5 million dollar deal
-take a shot at fuentes too, but hes not worth the price plus pick

sign randy johnson to a 1 year, 5 or 6 million dollar deal, (hes going to get 300 wins this year, imangine the fans he would bring in!!!!)

trade cameron for just ian kennedy, who cares about melky.

Wow, that's harsh.

Subtract Sabathia, Sheets, Torres, Mota, Shouse and Gagne (and Turnbow if that counts).

Add Jorge Julio and Lamb.

Ouch.

yes! rangers move payroll, maybe pick up a midlevel prospect i assume - free up some cash for sheets.

its coming full circle.

Andruw Jones or Juan Pierre for Kevin Millwood?

sign randy johnson to a 1 year, 5 or 6 million dollar deal

if he would come that cheap he would be back in arizona, and if did some how sign for that cheap, it would be the biggest bargain of the offseason

I actually wouldn't mind Millwood.

It's pretty clear 2009 will be a rebuilding year to some degree for the Brewers.

I would definitely be open to dealing Fielder this offseason, but I'd keep Hardy for one more year. Escobar is not ready IMO.

If I could get Brandon Morrow for Fielder straight up, I pull the trigger immediately. Not sure how realistic that is though.

As far as your trades, Craig, no thanks on Miguel's fat @ss and fat contract. Nice player, but no thanks......and your offer is way low.

Hardy for Slowey? Maybe. Blackburn? No chance as far as I'm concerned.

Kershaw? Yes, please...of course Coletti hangs up before you can finish the word "Kershaw".

My thoughts...
Lets stick with the young guys. Maybe a Randy Johnson or John Smotz might not be a bad Idea to help mentor some of these kids. I thinks its obvious that without Sheets, CC, Camron, etc were not going to compete in the central. We have a world of talent in the Minors, lets give some of these guys a shot. Look at what the Rays and Marlins have been able to do.
Jeremy Jeffress could be a great SP, Nic Ungs had an awsome time in Huntsville, Tim Dillard is a Major league pitcher, David Welch from AA. not to mention the bats, we all know about Escobar and Gamel. How about Cole Gillespie (he was putting up better numbers than LaPorta), or Garciaparra at 1b, Taylor Green could be a huge Left Handed bat some day and he plays 3B a position we need.

I think we need to build a new young team around Braun, Para, and Gallardo. Maybe hold on to Hart Possibly Fielder (needs to lose some wait though). But lets unload some of these other guys. We've proved that we can raise our own talent lets give it a few more years and make another serious run.
