McCalvy puts it best: #Brewers reinstated OF Jody Gerut from the disabled list and released him. No place for him with Lo Cain playing so well. The Brewers are loaded with outfielders now, with both Cain and Chris Dickerson on the team now as well… [More]

LaTroy Hawkins is back to the DL, which is only the most recent setback for Hawkins, in the first year of a 7.25 million dollar contract. Hawkins had shown good stuff before he went on the DL for the first time, but nothing has really… [More]

A source close to ESPN’s Keith Law (Insider link) has informed him that the Brewers have pulled Prince Fielder and Corey Hart off the trade market. They have decided they’re close enough to contention that they’re not selling, so Hart and Fielder are off the… [More]

Carlos Villanueva was sent down to AAA after today’s game, according to Adam McCalvy, in order to make room for LaTroy Hawkins’s return from the DL. Villanueva has had a pretty solid year this year, particularly when you look at his peripherals. Yes, he’s walking… [More]
