    *This is why you add at the trade deadline. Rookies are sooo inconsistent and unreliable.

    The views and statues around the stadium are about as good as you can get, the bridges make it cool, but I thought the riverfront itself was pretty plane and boring. There wasn't much to do.

    The key to winning this game is Cervelli, he's off in wonderland tonight.

    Between Musgrove, Martes, Paulino and Feliz... If you had to trade one and risk giving up that ace-like potential, who would that be? (Musgrove for me. He throws a ton of strikes which can and will sometimes hurt him).

    Musgrove is easily the highest floor and likely the lowest ceiling.

    Agreed. It's doubtful that the Brewers conversations truly started and ended with him.

    If so, this front office is most certainly going to hang on to and promote guys who have more value as trade pieces.

    Musgrove aims and drops his arm on the curve.

    Hitters are seeing it.

    Change up needs to be thrown more.

    He has had issues concentrating and focusing in the minors. I would rather keep him in the bottom of the line up for awhile. He has had a whirlwind last 12 months.
