They need to make room soon for Gallardo. I'd put the odds of the Brewers staff right now at Parra to pen 2-1, Bush losing his rotation spot 3-1, Villanueva to pen 4-1, Sheets injured 4-1, Gallardo having a setback 8-1, something happening to Suppan 20-1.

Kuo from the Dodgers was another possibility but he has mysteriously lost his RP eligibility in Yahoo... What chance Villanueva moves back to the Brewers pen at some stage?

My league counts Holds and I have those pretty well covered with Bell, Broxton, Neshek, Speier and Riske. Yeah – really just looking for guys to slot in at SP that won’t kill me in ERA or WHIP.

I'd grab Sosa from that group, might get some vulture wins and he might get a start or two with Pedro DL-ed. In that group Bucholz doesn’t look so bad….

He is not well suited for the closer's role. He is a pitch-to-contact sinkerballer, not exactly the guy you want. That is the reason Mark Lowe should get most of the reps.
