Brewers talking to Texas about Padilla and Millwood

[NievesNoNO]

Talking to them about how bad they are or about how Milwood was once a decent young pitcher and about how Pidilla is a lifetime prospect? I certainly hope we're not talking to them about Milwood or Pedilla to aquire one of them!

What reason is there for picking up Padilla? There are at least 5 guys on the free agent market who would give you the same production for less money, and not cost any players.

I'd potentially like Millwood in either a salary dump for a marginal pitching prospect, or a Millwood dump + affordable player of need/value for Bush. However, I'd need to see what the FA market dictates he's worth a little bit first. It may be better to sign a FA pitcher if the market is really soft.

 

I wouldn't have interest in Padilla unless they were dumb enough to swap his one year of junk for Suppan's 2.

I'd be wary of the Brewers trading any of our starting pitchers at this point, even for other starting pitchers. We basically have four SP right now, plus McClung and Villy, with nothing at AAA. If any of our starters gets hurt, we're toast. We need to stockpile another major league SP and add some AAA depth before we should even discuss trading any of our staff, even Suppan.
