Sorry I haven't had much of a chance to update the site in the last few days. I've been out of town for Christmas and such, and I just got home this afternoon. On the bright side, there has been absolutely no new news out there regarding the Brewers.
Melvin made the point that he likes the team he has now, even with no more moves before Spring Training.
He does not see the Crew making any big moves before the season starts in April. "Why plug a hole somewhere if it just creates another hole?" asked Melvin, who doesn't expect to acquire either Rolen or Blalock unless something radically changes. The Brewers are not in any position to create holes in the team they have now, just to appease fans that are waiting for a big move.
With that said, I still see a couple moves in the future for Milwaukee. The Brewers still have an excess in starting pitching, and Capuano, Vargas, or Bush will most likely be moved because of their salaries rising. This comment by Melvin could simply be a ploy, trying to convince teams that he is not desperate, and he does not need to make a move. By saying this, Melvin could be trying to get the asking price down for the players he is searching for.
After many of the free-agent pitchers are signed, Melvin will be receiving many calls regarding the starting pitching that the Brewers have. You can count on that.
