Brewers Cool Down on Rolen

Looks Like the Rolen trade between the Brewers and the Cardinals is dead.

The fact that Bill Hall was even included in this conversation was news to me. I was under the impression that it was Capuano and a "top prospect" for Rolen. This would have been a terrible trade for the Brewers, and I'm glad the talks have died. The Cards were not going to eat significant portion of Rolen's salary, and the BrewCrew does not need any more injury risk than they already have with Ben Sheets. Way too much for an injury prone player that is getting up there in age.

Sounds like the Brewers may be targeting Iguchi or Crede. Both of these are very unappealing to me. I have also heard Andy LaRoche and Brandon Inge thrown around. That would be much more interesting and up to the Brewer's speed, young and cheap with tons of potential.
