With all these names how busy will the deadline be and what players should the Brewers go after?

[Brian the Automator]

It's a lot of names, but not a lot of pieces the Brewers can use. Basically, only the relievers and maybe the starters are of use to the Crew.

When did Manny Delcarmen become available? I am of the assumption that unless the Sox get a closer this offseason, they're going to let Manny or Craig Hansen (who has done nothing to show Theo he can be the guy) duke it out for the CL position and insert Papelbon into the rotation. But, as Melvin has said, he makes calls on these guys only to find out that it is just an ugly rumor that these guys are available.

Speaking strictly from a Brewer perspective, how many of those names are of interest, or even if they may be of interest are better than the "bird in the hand?" As an example, and IMHO, Griffey won't agree to come to Milwaukee, we don't need a 2b, guys like Contreras and Morris are no better than present candidates, and guys like Cordero are going to generate so much interest that the costs are likely too high. How many of those names really apply to the Crew? Maybe 5 or so at most?

I guess i would be interested in Ryan Church a little depending on what the Nats would want back. I know we have a surplus of OF's but i would rather have him on our bench then gross.

There won't be much happening at the deadline. The price has gotten too high for teams to sell.

 

A lot of teams would just rather have the picks: bugsandcranks.com/the-clu...ined-july/
