Brewers Release Mike Lamb
WEDNESDAY: As expected, Lamb was placed on release waivers according to Haudricourt.
TUESDAY: According to Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, the Brewers cut third baseman Mike Lamb today. Lamb can either head to Triple A or become a free agent. Based on his comments, Lamb isn't interested in Triple A. The Brewers have instead decided to go with Casey McGehee in a backup infield role. It's not a big financial loss for the Brewers, as the Twins are on the hook for most of Lamb's salary.

Meh, McGehee was in the Cubs' farm system for a while, and at the very least he's a solid defender at third that can make some contact.
Then again, he doesn't have much patience or power, and I'm not really sure that he deserves to have a ML job.
This is a guy who's clearly taking advantage of the opportunity given to him in ST.

Am I reading too much into this if I see this as a pre-cursor that Gamel and/or Escobar are going to be on the ML roster this year?

Lamb----Yankees?

Last time the Yankees were rumored to be interested in Lamb to replace an injured 3b, they ended up settling for a trade for A-Rod instead...

"Lamb----Yankees?"
Makes sense to me.

"It's not a big financial loss for the Brewers, as the Twins are on the hook for most of Lamb's salary."
Don't remind me.

its a shame. Mike Lamb was loved in Houston. He just couldnt handle the starters job and was replaced by wiggington. I would love to see him back with the astros, its too bad they aquired keppinger already

Mike Lamb back in Houston would be great! We let Wiggy go....Is there room for Lamb and Keppinger? Sure hope so!
