Crew Signs Looper; Bolsters Pitching Staff


It's being reported that the Milwaukee Brewers have signed veteran right-handed pitcher Braden Looper.


Looper has spent the last two seasons with division rival St. Louis, in their starting rotation. This is a pretty important move for the Brewers who looked like they were going to have a few questions about their rotation going into next season.


This signing could mean that McClung and/or Carlos Villanueva can stay in the bullpen, and provide us some consistency there.


Here's what our rotation could look like now:

1. Yovani Gallardo

2. Manny Parra

3. Braden Looper

4. Dave Bush

5. Jeff Suppan



I like the look of that rotation. The only thing I have against it is that there could be another lefty in there. After the Hoffman signing, and having Villa and Big Red in the 'pen we can have a decent group of relievers.
