“and wants to come to Milwaukee. ”
So what you’re saying is, Melvin trades for a starter.

Greinke had a no-trade clause that included Milwaukee in it, and look what happened there. Aramis Ramirez had other suitors, and look where he went. You’d be surprised what an owner that is actually willing to put a little money in the team to win would do for a small market franchise’s chances for success and marketability. And we’ve got a roof; no PPD in Milwaukee.

It was a joke man lol No need to get defensive, my team is the Jays , not exactly a hot spot for free agents.

While being pretty set at all positions, this team needs a #3 type starter and the bullpen. . . oh dear lord the bullpen. Krod, Livan and Manny Parra need to be gone, and this team needs to look seriously at Kameron Loe’s role. I don’ think anyone other than Axford and possibly Jose Veras have more or less guaranteed spots. Hopefully the Crew can pull a Diamondback style bullpen renaissance.

They’ve got plenty of potential #3 starters. What they need is a top of the rotation guy to front the rotation along with Gallardo. That’s why unlike Haudricourt, I think a trade is more likely. The formula they used to get Grienke can work again. They’ve got a half dozen young arms that are major league ready or close too it and 2 bats (Morris and Gennett) who are nice prospects but are blocked.

I don’t put a lot of stock in Haudricourt’s musings. He’s seldom right. I think if a deal presented itself for a top of the rotation starter ala James Shields, that the Brewers have enough young arms and a bat in Hunter Morris that Tampa Bay would like. Dempster and Lohse are both risky in that coming off big years, they’ll bring an inflated price even well into their 30’s. Brewers overpaid under similar circumstances for Randy Wolf and with all the young arms, they don’t need an overpriced vet on the downside blocking young pitching.

Are you guys sure you want to go after Lohse? (*cough* Suppan *cough*)
