Brewers DFA Chris Narveson, Call On Parra

By Ben Nicholson-Smith [July 9, 2009 at 8:58am CST]

The Brewers designated reliever Chris Narveson for assignment to make room for Manny Parra, according to Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Narveson, a 27-year-old lefty, pitched 10.2 innings this year, striking out nine, allowing five walks and fifteen hits for an unsightly ERA of 8.44.

Parra could ease some of the Brewers' concerns about their rotation if he pitches like he did during a month-long demotion to Triple A Nashville. After 13 disappointing starts in the majors, Parra pitched to an ERA of 2.92 in the minors, allowing 13 walks and 16 hits in 24.2 innings with 19 strikeouts.

Question? Why does anyone think his control is better? So what he has a good ERA...he still has a BB/9 at almost 5 and a K/BB of 1.46.

How's it gone unreported that Melvin publicly said he'd make a call on Halladay???

Alcides Escobar (SS), Jonathan Lucroy (C), Manny Parra (SP), and Mark Rogers (SP) would be a strong offer. We are talking a year and a half of Roy freaking Halladay. Yovani still needs time as the #2 in the rotation before becoming their ace.

Just to put my alliance out there, I'm a San Diego sports fan through and through, but when it comes to baseball, it's hard to not get excited by the Brewers, Braves, A's, Astros, Twins, Red Sox and Rays... personally, of course!

I can't see Toronto having a lot of interest in a guy with an injury history like Rogers.
