What would your reaction be to this rotation for August and September?

[TooLiveBrew]

Marcum's coming back? I missed anything about a timetable for his return

[FVBrewerFan]

If it's going to be one only one more rookie, I rather see Burgos than Rogers or Peralta. I don't know what the plan is for Rogers this year, but I don't imagine he has a lot of innings left. Peralta has been up and down, and may benefit from jsut staying clear of MLB until Spring Training.

This season, I'm thinking more of a rotation of:

 

SoCo & Coke

MGD

Boone's Farm Strawberry

Cheap vodka shots

Purple Nurple

Shaun Marcum's second bullpen session did not go well. Details coming in #Brewers notebook.

[paul253]

pretty sure a september call up is the only option for rogers at this moment anyways.

 

Only Milwaukee would bring up Tyler Thornburg, their most successful pitching prospect, and let him rot in the bullpen while at the same time keeping Mark Rogers in the AAA rotation. I like Rogers as much as anyone but it's looking like his best shot in the majors is as a reliever. To me, it would make much more sense to put Rogers in the bullpen and give Thornburg his starts in Nashville.

yeah, i dont like what they did with thornburg... they should have left him in AAA and not rushed him to the brewers and just worked on 2013 for him in the MLB. theyve got a number of arms they could have brought up, peralta, rogers are the ones we know, but they COULD have called up Vargas or McClung (thank god that didnt happen) for a spot start or long reliever situation...

Adam McCalvy of MLB.com writes that Shaun Marcum's bullpen session Friday "did not go well."

 

Uh-oh. There was optimism after Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said Marcum's bullpen session on Tuesday went "really good," but he didn't feel so great Friday. It's not clear how they'll proceed, but Marco Estrada figures to keep his rotation spot for a while. Marcum hasn't pitched since June 14 due to right elbow tightness.

I wonder if this sets up for the Brewers to get Marcum back on a cheap 1-2 year, incentive-laden deal. It looks like he'll end up making only about 18-20 starts this season if everything goes well.

[TURBO]

If he pitches very little the rest of the year, I bet we get him back on a 1 year deal, possibly 2.

 

If he heals properly, him getting hurt may just in fact be the best thing that could have happend for us,.

[dlk9s]

TH just tweeted that Mark Rogers was pulled from his scheduled start tonight and is speculating he's being called up.

[TooLiveBrew]

Marcum

Fiers

Peralta

Rogers

Thornburg?

That's from molly fan's lead post. It's not looking too unlikely at this point, and frankly that's probably a better rotation right now than Yo-Estrada-Wolf-Fiers-Rogers

 

 

EDIT: Whoops! I missed that the first pitcher mentioned in molly fan's lead post was Marcum & not Yo... guess my brain just told me Yo was first there without actually confirming it!

[pacopete4]

6-Man rotation to keep everyone's innings down

 

Gallardo

Fiers (Burgos when Fiers maxes his innings out)

Estrada

Peralta

Rogers

Thornburg

[FVBrewerFan]

Really warming to that idea. Yo is the only guy who wouldnt be taking a big jump im innings this yr, incl Estrada, if they stay with the current rotation. Go to 6, in some sort of combo paco lists above.
