Brewers report: Inside pitch

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.

Came across a couple notes and wanted to pass them on/see what you guys thought.

First of all, the Brewers reportedly inquired on the availability of Kevin Millwood from the Rangers.  Good idea? I don'

Since a number of you are really big fans of going to last year's Hoffman thread and pointing out that I was wrong about his 2009 production, I thought I'd give everyone a forum to come to in 2010 to point to wrongs.  Why doesn't everyone just give their slash line predictions for the offensive players that will likely start on the 2010 Br ...(more)

I realize pitching is slim this offseason and it will be tough to bring in a quality arm without overspending.  I've seen numerous reports of Carl Pavano getting a serious look from the Brewers.  Isn't he the A.L. version of Braden Looper last year.  Pavano led the A.L. in runs and Looper led the NL.  I think Melvin migh ...(more)

Without considering any trade action, here is my FA wish list.
 
Headlining is pitching.
  I think for the right incentive laden contract Erik Bedard would be my first choice for a potential #1 or 2 starter.  Starters moving from the AL to NL usually fair well.  I know he is a slight he ...(more)

Ken Rosenthal and John Paul Morosi of FOX sports report that the Crew is unlikey to pursue Lackey. In my opinion I think this is a good thing. I think some people are thinking we are going to get another C.C. caliber type player and we are going to ride them all season long. First of all Lackey is not that guy and secondly, it is going to take more than one pitcher (no matter the caliber) to fix o ...(more)

While the free-agent route appears to be the Brewers' best bet to improve the starting rotation next year, there are some possiblilities from their farm system. Admittedly, all some of these guys have some concerns, but if just one pans out, you've got a little help, even if it's only for the second half of the year.

I heard something on the radio that the Brewers are looking into John Halama.  I seem to remember him being an average starter with the Mariners years back.  Not sure what he has done lately, but it sounds like he is someone the Brewers are interested in.
