Brewers 360 - May 7th

This morning I talked to John Jagler & Gene Mueller from Wisconsin's Morning News on 620 WTMJ. Take a listen as we talk about Rickie Weeks and the slumping Crew.

I squeezed in some Q&A with listeners during the game last night.  Check it out here.

Jim, you mentioned that we need to have somebody that can be a plesent surprise out of the bullpen. I have been kind of waiting to hear if we'll be making any changes as far as calling anyone different up. Is there anything that you have heard or any one player that you could see potentially helping the team? Would it be possible to call up any starters from AAA to try out or is that just not a good idea?  

Thanks, Jason

I think Jeff Weaver and Chris Narveson are the two starters most likely to help, probably in that order.  Weaver had an impressive start last night for Nashville.  Out of the pen I believe Luis Pena is the most promising on that Nashville staff but he has had a bad outing or two and some control issues.  If he gets on a roll I don't think the Brewers will hesitate to summon him if a need arises.  Another reliever to keep an eye on is Tim Dillard, a sinkerballer with a resilient arm.  Dillard is 1-0 with a 2.66 ERA in his first 10 AAA games.
