The Brewers are second to last in the league in stolen bases. Macha is not giving Alcides the green light at all. If the Brewers aren’t going to utilize the talents of their young players fully, they should trade them.

I was leading in saves in my league so I traded a couple closers. Now Kevin Gregg has killed me and I’m losing ground quick. Who would be the top 2 or 3 non-closers you would pick up if you had room that might get some garbage saves when the closer isn’t available? Or anyone you predict will takeover a job?

@Tony: I'm not sure I'll be taking either of them next year given that I hate paying for pitchers coming off big years. As far as what round in a 14 team? Depends on your league and when pitchers start coming off the board but I think it very possible that the two put up similar enough numbers next year except for 30 extra strikeouts for Javy. And if you need those 30 Ks, draft Wuertz and Wandy instead of Javy and save yourself at least 5 rounds of value.

@Royo: I could see going with Wandy over Vazquez there. Maybe that makes me a Roymer? But my logic was he needs one pitcher that he can rely on. I'm a big Wandy fan if you've read the site. You know I own him all over the place. But Vazquez has thrown near 200 Ks for five straight years; Wandy's year is a lot more of an outlier than Vazquez. This doesn't mean I don't like Wandy for next year. ****TAKE FOLLOWUPS FOR ME TO THE NEWEST POST.******

What do you call commenters who do nothing but agree with Grey? Grey Homers? Gomers? Anyway, I was feeling like a Gomer today until he left the Wandwagon to nuzzle up to Vazquez's career year. @brad: Uptonx2, Donkey, Bourn, Wandy.

@Grey: yeah the tools are there, i like his brother better, since he's at least shown his talents a little more.... In that line up you'd think BJ would be a stud, maybe he will be soon. Too bad he's not a 2B anymore.

@Tony: I think he's still very young and can be a top 10 performer as of next year. He comes with risk though, so he's not going to be drafted that early obviously.

@Grey: u think BJ upton is going to put it together someday? I dont like him. He had a HUGE postseason and everyone overvalued him. Not my cup of tea.
