Brewers sign Larry Schaefer

[Invader3K]

To a one day contract.

This was kind of a neat prize idea and it sounds like the winner is a good guy and long time ticket holder.

Good thinking on the ring question! Well play Larry, well played.

Can he play ss?

Haha...I actually just asked the same thing on Twitter.

This is Melvin's worst signing yet. That guy looks completely out of shape.

[Thurston Fluff]

So did Carlos Lee. Just another in a long line of all offense no defense FA signings.

He's a former first baseman...maybe they send him to Nashville to keep the heat on Gamel.

I'm sick of this garbage from Melvin. I haven't even heard of this guy, and now the Brewers are signing him to a 1-day contract? DFA Melvin.

Can Larry Shaefer pitch?

[djoctagone]

glad that the brewers had space on the 40-man roster for him.

Making it a major league contract this early in the season is going to kill his value to the team. They should have done it closer to September, so he'd have less service time this year.

Maybe they could extend him now to buy out the first couple years of free agency.

Being originally from the Fondy area, everyone who has any interest in youth baseball know Larry. He's a cool guy and deserves good things.

Awesome job on the ring question.

Awesome job on the ring question.

If the Brewers win the World Series in 2011, I will personally kick in $10 toward Larry Schaefer's WS ring. I will drop it off at MP when I am stocking up on championship gear.
