From the Dec 27 SI: The Greinke trade helps both teams—and it's also great for baseball

Whatever the on-field ramifications, this move is great for baseball. The off-season has been dominated by the East Coast scary monsters, whether they were making big trades (the Red Sox), signing top free agents (the Phillies) or failing to do either (the Yankees). For a small-market team such as the Brewers to put its chips on the table and outplay the big boys for a No. 1 starter shows fans around the country that in the revenue-sharing era, any team can acquire great players.

Brewers add Takashi Saito and Sean Green.

Don't know much about Green but Saito could be a huge plus.

Capuano will not be back - Brewers offered, but he wants to be a starter

Saito has some awesome numbers last year. I am amazed Melvin has been able to totally revamp the pitching staff without trotting out re-treds. Does the Crew have a Pitching Coach yet?

Trevor is officially announcing his retirement on Wednesday.

more Trevor

Nice article from Buster Olney

as well as Michael Baumann

It was a pleasure to watch him in Milwaukee, and Hells Bells still has to be the coolest intro ever.

edit: I didn't realize he was traded to SD for Gary Sheffield!

I'll boldly state that wasn't a wash from a character perspective.

I agree Hells Bells for Hoffman was one of the cooler intro type things in all of sport.

I'd say the 2nd coolest....the coolest is the intro for the UW hockey games...

This may be the best thing anyone has said all day.

My friend was in Vegas over New Years and I had him place a futures bet for me...if the Brewers somehow put it together and win the World Series, I will win $1000.

I am doing that when I go to Vegas in a couple weeks! How much did you out down? What are the odds? I am just going to put 10 bucks on the crew just to say I did.

I wanted to put down $10 but when I texted him, he was a bit drunk so he put $20 on them for me...50-1

Brewers avoid arbitration with Fielder, agree to 15.5 mil. one year deal. Will still become a free agent at the end of 2011.
