Brewers Decline Option on Looper
The Brewers will not pick up Braden Looper's $6.5 million option for afterward year,
hogan us, Tom Haudricort of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel is reporting. They'll have to purchase his deal out for $1 million, and it's all being done in the appoint of fiscal flexibility for the team to chase more pitching on this winter's free proxy market,
mbt chapa, according to GM Doug Melvin.
That's one understandable stance since Looper wasn't excellent in Milwaukee in 2009 (he won 14 games, but had a 5.22 ERA and needy peripherals) but it really leaves the Brewers with Yovani Gallardo,
mbt sandals, Manny Parra,
tory burch bag, Jeff Suppan, and probably Dave Bush (he's seen by some as a non-tender applicant now thathe's entering his last year of arbitration and will probable be deserving a raise on his $4 million 2009 salary, but that seems unlikely with Looper's salary off the books) as beginning pitchers right now. Melvin better have some plan in mind or things are only going to get worse for the Brewers' pitching staff.
Of lesson, the offseason namely juvenile and so its a bit early to justice, merely at present the Brewers have already accustomed their best trade chip (J.J. Hardy) in a move namely didn't get anyone pitching,
sennheiser, so free agency seems to be their best path apt remedying the problem that kept them out of the NL Central race in 2009.
The answer immediately is whether or not that plan will yield more fruit than it did last winter. The Brewers tried hard to reserve CC Sabathia in Milwaukee, but couldn't mate the Yankees' enormous attempt and instead they ended up with Looper. It seems like a long-shot for them to keep up with the commanding for John Lackey,

So which 2 guys aboard this list would help the Brewers out? Jarrod Washburn and Joel Piniero? Maybe take a flier Carl Pavano hoping that health and the National League perk his numbers up? Or is it also late already because the Brewers?
