Much of the early trade buzz in the majors right now centers on the Brewers' interest in Cleveland left-hander C.C. Sabathia, who is on the market.

General manager Doug Melvin confirmed that special assistant Dick Groch was in Chicago on Wednesday to monitor Sabathia's outing against the White Sox.

"We've seen him pitch a couple of times," said Melvin, who declined to elaborate on any interest he has in the reigning American League Cy Young Award winner. "We look at a lot of guys."

The Indians reportedly had scouts looking at Class A Brevard County third baseman Taylor Green, the Brewers' minor league Player of the Year in 2007. Cleveland is believed to be taking a close look at the Brewers' prospect-laden Class AA Huntsville club, too.

Green, 21, was hitting .296 at Brevard with nine home runs, 48 RBI and a .380 on-base percentage in 77 games. Last year at Class A West Virginia, Green batted .327 with 14 home runs and 86 RBI.

The Indians also reportedly have interest in Class AA Huntsville outfielder Matt LaPorta, the Brewers' first-round draft pick in 2007.

Asked about Cleveland having interest in specific players in his system, Melvin said, "I can't comment on that. There's probably a lot of clubs looking at our guys."

BREWERS 9, PIRATES 1: After their most devastating loss of the season, the Brewers needed something to laugh about. And they got it. Returning home from a three-city trip at the end of which they blew a five-run lead in the ninth inning in Arizona, the Brewers compiled 14 hits and romped over the Pirates. RHP Ben Sheets had to battle through 5 2/3 innings, allowing eight hits and three walks but somehow only one run. RHP Carlos Villanueva took over from there, covering the final 3 1/3 innings and allowing just one hit to save the rest of a weary bullpen from having to work. SS J.J. Hardy (4-for-5) and 3B Bill Hall (3-for-4) each hit homers.

I see many fans in a sudden uproar and yes I am as frustrated as other fans watching the Brewers struggle.  Going into the season if anyone expected better than a 500 season I would consider that wishful thinking.  I see a 500 team but watch in hope of being surprised and that they can do better.  Watching the team they do te ...(more)

This is a thread to gather all of the fans input on what should be done about the management of some serious decisions that will have to be made either soon or within the next year.  Hopefully this will show what the majority of fans think we should do, and as well all know we are always right.

To begin with we have the best "problem" a gm could hope for.  We have on

As we get closer to the all Star break it is time for teams to set the table for a Playoff run. The Brewers did it last year with CC Sabathia, as did quite a few other teams.

Yet as Brewers sit on what they currently have it seems that our Band Wagon folks are

(POLL) I know that they are all just rumors but it's fun to speculate.  Put on your GM hat (and mustache) and pick the move you would try to close.

Pretty straight forward question that I believe may have already been brought up on here but what does everybody think?  Corey Hart appears to have quite a bit of trade value around the league (for some reason) and Hart coupled with a mid-level prospect could potentially be a great starting point to the deal.  It's reported that the C ...(more)

The Triple-A Nashville Sounds have juggled their probable pitchers for the week and left-hander Manny Parra isn't on the list, a very strong indication that the Brewers will recall him to the big leagues for a start at some point this week. ...(more)

This last week Rickey Henderson had placed a call to his old friend Willie Randolph to see if they could make use of his services as a baserunning coach.  Henderson served this role as a baserunning coach for Randolph when he was coaching the New York Mets and go as far back as their playing days with the ...(more)

I'm tired of his conservative style. Its a good thing to steal a base or two once in a while Macha. His horrible use of the bullpen is disgusting. Manny pitches lights out and the moron brings in can't get an out Villanueva. SERIOUSLY?? VILLANUEVA?? MARK DEFELICE PRETTY PLEASE? Why is Todd Coffey pitching? The big guy is ...(more)

Apparently Braun is not afraid to speak his mind, as he is frustrated with the current struggles and future concerns of the pitching staff.  I think it's obvious to all involved that once a pitcher goes down that the

No, he hasn't been traded or anything, but after Casey McGehee's day today, I can't see a reason why this kid doesn't get third base every day from now on.  Incredible performance thus far.  Hey Cubs fans, thanks for the free pick up!
