Should have hired his bro.

My first words.. "He's no Gary."

The Brewers have told Dave Bush to file for free agency and get himself some offers, an indication that they are moving in another direction.

Though pitching coach Rick Peterson signed a two-year deal last year, the Brewers have told Roenicke that they are willing to eat the deal and let Roenicke bring in his own pitching coach. Dale Sveum, however, is set as hitting coach after inking a two-year deal last month.

GREAT NEWS!!! Jarod Washburn may be interested in pitching next season... and he's a big fan of Ron Roenicke!

WE ARE SAVED!!!!!

Peter Gammons is saying that the Brewers might be shopping Ryan Braun this offseason.

More trade rumors: Rosenthal reports the Padres have been asking about Brett Lawrie; also says Fielder-Gavin Floyd trade is a possibility if the ChiSox fail to land a slugger in free agency.

Rosenthal also reporting that Rick Peterson won't be back, which is hardly a surprise at this point.

Rick Kranitz is the new pitching coach, Jerry Narron the bench coach, Garth Iorg also joins the staff (first base coach) with John Shelby. Stan Kyles (bullpen) and Ed Sedar (moving from first to third) return along with Sveum (hitting).

On the bright side, you didn't hire Clint Hurdle

The Brewers can do better than Gavin Fraud if they want to deal Prince.

That remains to be seen.

The Brewers, in desparate need of pitching help, have made an offer to free agent... Eric Hinske [sigh].

Hinske is also thought to be wanted by the Braves, so he will have to decide between his hometown team and a contender.

Brewers sign minor league free agent OF Brandon Boggs to a major league deal. Yippee.

Boggs has an option left, at least.

Hinske signs a deal with Atlanta that includes an option for 2012.

Brewers decline to tender contracts to reliever Todd Coffey and reserve IF/OF Joe Inglett.

The Milwaukee sports scene is now devoid of Charlie Vs, as Carlos Villanueva has been traded to the Blue Jays for the ever-popular "player to be named later".
