Quite a few people have been murmuring about free agent pitcher Ben Sheets and reuniting with the Brewers after a tumultuous offseason that has seen contracts dwindle from astonishing and incredible to downright highway robbery. Free agents who are still in limbo like Sheets, Adam Dunn, Manny Ramirez, and Derek Lowe just aren’t going to [...]
Uh oh. tl; dr version: Prime Brewers shortstop prospect Alcides Escobar’s wife wrote a post on Bleacher Report detailing how Escobar, since getting called up from the minors in the September callup binge, has been abrasive, silent, and big-headed, getting to the point where he skips out on his wife and baby child and supposedly [...]
The Brewers are finally starting to do something! The biggest news of the day comes from Tom Hardicourt.

It certainly is refreshing to see Doug Melvin doing something, because Brewerland has been eagerly anticipating the arrival of that one starter that will set the rotation [...]
