Being the weird type of fan that I am I read both Brewers and Mariners blogs. For my trouble I know way too much about either team. What I found annoying is when the blogs talk about the other teams because you realize that they don’t know anything. There’s been more than once I have emailed to call someone out on an incorrect statement. Sometimes you don’t even want to bother though. Like this recent quote from Geoff Baker of the Times.
Pitching-wise, the Brew Crew just signed Chris Capuano to a minor league deal (completing a stunning fall from grace for him) and will likely explore other free-agent routes, like Derek Lowe of the Dodgers, before entertaining any trade scenarios.
Real quick.
- Having Tommy John surgery is not a “fall from grace.”
- Yes, it’s a minor league contract but there are incentives that could push it towards $3 million. He will wear a Brewers uniform next season.
- The Brewers don’t pursue Type A free agents because they build through the draft.
