Linebrink acquired for Inman/Garrison/Thatcher

[Lorax1]

According to the JSOnline...had to give up Inman, Steve Garrison, and Joe Thatcher evidently.

For Thatcher, Inman and Garrison. That seems like a steep price for a reliever.

[brettac1]

Wow.

 

Inman.

[Brian the Automator]

Wow.... there it is.

[dpapo]

I think they gave up too much, but I hope it works out well.

[Ennder]

Most scouts seemed to think Inman would hit a wall before he made it to the majors and so far that appears to be the case this season. I'm not all that upset about the loss personally.

 

I'm not so sure Linebrink is the same pitcher he was two years ago either though.

[jodo23]

Not Wil Inman!

 

Well, I guess you have to give to get...

[milwaukeesportsfan]

Boooooooooo.

 

I'm not happy about this. Inman will be a stud. Padres got a steal. Linebrink better win us the frickin' World Series this year.

[SheetsCyYoung04]

Yuck, a half season of a reliever fro Will Inman? C'mon Doug.

[prince of roy]

sweet now we can send turnbow to the sox for dye

[sbrylski]

Holy Cow!!!

[AJAY]

How many years left on Linebrink's contract? How much is he making right now? What's his future status here?

[TauPentaRei]

Another wow from over here. The obligatory 'LOVE IT' too.

 

I followed all of the Padres' box scores for the first [what seems like] third of the year when Bell, Meredith, Linebrink and Hoffman had the scoreless innings streak.

 

Giving up a possible maybe for a sure thing is anti-Brewers, but then again, see my signature.

 

Awesome!

[giffted1]

Seems like a steep price for a few months of one relief pitcher.

[Yaz]

Good move! Take that Cubs..

 

I personally don't think this is the last move. Attanasio probably decided to win now not another 3 or 4 years from now. :-)

[kilgore37]

That really helps the pen. Wonder why the pads trade him for 3 minor leaguers? They have a tough race ahead of them, and could use all the quality arms they can get.

[Sheets4theHOF]

I guess the brewers feel they have a surplus of young starting pitching right now.

 

Who's getting sent down, Balfour is the obvious choice i guess.

[And That]

Inman, Garrison and Thatcher for 2.5 months of Scott Linebrink? Really? Why?

[brewers255]

Turnbow for Dye could that be next?

 

We are set at SP with Vilanoeva, Para, Sheets, Capuano, and Gallarado.

[kilgore37]

I believe he's a FA after this year

[dpapo]

Linebrink signed a 2 year deal in 2005, so he should be a free agent after the year is up.

Good to know Ender. That eases the pain a bit. Also picking up one of the best setup men in baseball helps.

[SheetsCyYoung04]

Well there goes the PCL, Southern League, and FSL championships. Im just so very angry right now.

[Brian the Automator]

If the Brewers let Linebrink and Cordero walk, they're going to have an obscene number of comp picks.

This was in chat w/ Keith Law earlier in the year. I am not saying he knows everything, but he has been a scout in the majors and usually knows what he is talking about. If that is Inman's ceiling, I love the deal.

 

Chris (madison): Keith, what do you know about Alcides Escobar, the Brewers rep in the Futures Game? Are there any other names on the farm Milwaukee fans should know?

 

SportsNation Keith Law: He was really out of place - very young, very raw, athletic, but didn't look good compared to all the more polished guys there. Jeremy Jeffress has a tremendous arm, but of course he's very raw. Matt LaPorta may or may not be able to play LF (I'm a skeptic on that one), but he definitely has big power, arguably the best raw power in this year's draft. Will Inman has a chance to be a 4th-5th starter. That's about it at the moment; they got a little thin with all the promotions this year.
