Brewers may look for pitcher
Posted: Thursday May 15, 2008 07:41AM ET
Brewers owner Mark Attanasio said Wednesday there is flexibility in the team's payroll to get another starting pitcher should the loss of Yovani Gallardo prove too much to overcome. Gallardo underwent surgery Tuesday to repair a torn ACL in his right knee. He is presumed lost for the season, creating a void the Brewers never expected after Gallardo returned three weeks ago from a minor pre-season knee injury. Should general manager Doug Melvin find another pitcher available, at the right price in terms of trading personnel, Attanasio said he'd be given the financial leeway to do so.

Report Offensive CommentWonder if Greg Maddux would waive his no trade clause to go pitch for his brother Mike? That would be interesting

Report Offensive CommentThey need to trade Gwynn Jr. and Bush for someone. I wish they hadn't signed old man Cameron, I like Gwynn alot, but we are wasting him and really need an arm bad. I don't understand why we got Cameron. Gwynn is young, fast, fundamentally sound, a good fielder, I don't get it.
PS - Fire Ned Yost.

Report Offensive CommentTrade Gwynn to the Padres for an arm, I'd do that trade in a heartbeat, as long as the pitcher wasn't Young or Peavy.

Problem is - the cupboard is bare in their farm system. From what I understand - they have no younbg arms ready for the majors.
