Quote:

Brewers’ GM Doug Melvin has been trying to deal one of his extra starting pitchers for a solid, everyday, preferably left-handed hitting outfielder. Tom Haudricourt, of JSOnline.com, in his blog, quoted Melvin as saying the Brewers are content with their existing personnel.

If so, then the Brewers would go into Opening Day with 13 pitchers: Sheets, Suppan, Gallardo, Capuano, and Vargas as the starting rotation; Gagné, Turnbow, Riske, Torres, Mota, Villanueva, Bush and Shouse in the bullpen…with Parra starting the year in Nashville.

They said they are going to have Villanueva starting this year, move Cappy or Vargas back to the pen. It would make a lot more sense, and take a lot of pressure off of Sheets having CV and Yov as emerging aces.
