The White Sox told their fans they were going “all in” this year, but that slogan might have worked better a bit further north. Brewers GM Doug Melvin has traded prospect after prospect since last season in an attempt to reinforce his club for a run at the playoffs.
The Brewers gave up a lot, but their plan is working so far. Zack Greinke and Shaun Marcum have provided upgrades in the rotation, Nyjer Morgan is hitting like never before and the most recent addition, Francisco Rodriguez, has provided manager Ron Roenicke’s bullpen with a boost.
