Maybe we should just skip the first inning.
Or the whole thing. Yikes. Just terrible pitching today. Nova had a tough time in Houston too, but the 5 DPs bailed him out. He had a very good spring, but it hasn't carried over. Hopefully they figure out what's going on.
On a different note, George King is reporting that the Brewers have a special scout following the Yankees. The speculation is they're looking at the Yankees' catchers. According to River Ave Blues, the Yanks scouted Rickie Weeks a while back, who is now a bench player. Another name speculated by River Ave Blues was Aramis Ramirez.
Ramirez would be an interesting option. Then they could move Solarte over to second. That'd extend the lineup a bit more. I'm not sure Milwaukee would be particularly interested in moving Ramirez right now, given that they're off to a good start. I wouldn't want Weeks, especially for as valuable a chip as a starting-caliber catcher.
