Brewers sign LHP Aaron Laffey to Minor League Deal

[Mass Haas]

Noted this on the minor league forum, but will post here for any potential further discussion:

 

Brewers have signed 28-year-old LHP Aaron Laffey (153 big league games) to a minor league contract. Formal placement is pending, but likely AAA Nashville in lieu of an also-pending formal DL placement of Hiram Burgos.

Kentrail Davis' promotion to AAA will likely backfill a player to be called up today by the Brewers.

Feel bad for the fans in Nashville that have to continue to watch horrible starting pitching.

Until they Bring up Jungman and Pena to join Nelson and Hellweig.

Potential replacement for Mike Gonzalez when he's traded?

Guys, this signing is no laffing matter.

Sorry, I wasn't Laffing, I was just Aaron' out my throat a little.

Can he play first?

Can he play first?

Everyone can be a first baseman on the 2013 Milwaukee Brewers! Only requirement is to never have played the position.

Ha, that's right. I actually meant this post for the Owings thread, put it on this one by mistake, but probably still applies here.
