[Yahoo] Brewers release Claudio Vargas

i say go after him, lookin at Chacon and Williams pitch makes me cringe

 

I'd sign him if it was a low dollar contract. I am not sure that he would be better than either Chacon or Sampson, but if Sampson is stuggling, he still has minor league options and Vargas is a half run over league average ERA.

 

He's probably not a very good candidate to pitch at MMP. His GB% is in the mid-30s, and he gives up a lot home runs. That spells disaster in MMP IMHO.

 

According to Joseph Duarte, the Astros "have no interest in Vargas".

 

there has to be something wrong with him

 

anyone, AND I MEAN ANYONE is better than woody.

get him in here!

 

MMP is a pitchers park despite it's reputation. it's also in the middle tier for homeruns allowed.

 

I understand that MMP is a pretty neutral park, but with 35% Groundball Percentage, I feel that he'd always be at a major disadvantage in preventing cheap homeruns at the Crawford Box compared to an opposing pitcher who probably would have a better GP%.
