"Corey will be in the mix," Melvin said. "It's just a decision where we'll have to weigh the risk factor involved with someone coming off an injury that hasn't played all year. But his name is in the list of names that we'll consider."
"It's not something we're going to worry about. Knowing Scooter can play the way he did, he probably has an edge right now.
Probably outfield is where we have a trade piece if we want to trade to maybe fill another hole."

It will be really interesting to see what this team looks like on Opening Day next year.
I like how the pitching staff came together toward the end of the year especially with the younger guys like Peralta and Thornburg playing well. Estrada and Gallardo were pretty solid after they returned from their injuries, and Lohse was consistently good most of the year.
Then you have guys like Scooter and Khris Davis vying for more playing time and maybe Hart back in the mix and all of a sudden there's a lot to be optimistic about the Brewers next year. They can certainly build around guys like Braun and Segura and Gomez.
Can't imagine there is anyone else in the universe that can afford Cano.
in other news, Brewers infielders Mat Gamel and Taylor Green are on waivers today and would come off Milwaukee’s crowded 40-man roster on Thursday if they clear, according to a baseball source.
Gamel was a waiver claim today by the Chicago Cubs.
I assume for third base? Good luck with that.
What is Dougie waiting for?
They,ve got $80 million tied up already in guaranteed contracts for 2014 and with lower revenue from last year to work with, there's little money left to play in the big boys game of Free Agency.
Agree Tuna. The big question is how will Dougie free up money? Rickie will likely cost money to shuffle. Could Yo be another salary cut? It would be easier to trade him today than next year.
Well I'm pretty disappointed so far today, that on the 1st day of big money to be tossed around, that Doug and Mark haven't announced the signing of Cano.
The Ratmeister is waiting.
Clayton Kershaw signs a 7 year deal worth $215. $30.7M per year.
If any pitcher is worth it, it's him. But really, the Dodgers are getting >$200M a year on local TV rights alone, so it's all funny money....
#Brewers have signed LHP Zach Duke to a Minor League contact that includes a big league camp invite. Story to come from young @cashkruth.

Brewers have signed OF Greg Golson to a minor lg contract
— Brewers Player Dev (@BrewersPD) January 13, 2014
Just confirmed that the #Brewers are looking at Zach Duke for the bullpen. Definitely opportunity there for a lefty.

A good source confirms #Brewers are close to signing Mark Reynolds to be the everyday first baseman. Story coming to the site.
— Adam McCalvy (@AdamMcCalvy) January 17, 2014
I overstated "to be everyday first baseman." Reynolds is signing a Minor League deal & will be looked at for 1B, but must earn spot.
— Adam McCalvy (@AdamMcCalvy) January 17, 2014
He played for the Yankees, he must be good.
1B Lyle Overbay has been signed to a minor league contract which includes an invitation to ML spring training. #Brewers

I assume we can all anticipate an Overbay/Reynods-Fransicso platoon
another under-whelming move from the Brewers front office.
I was hoping for a trade for Arod
Was excited to see what Morris could do.
Stan Musial is a free agent.
Just sayn'
Why do I sense a 65 win season coming?
It's the 90's all over again. 
well, they won 74 games with Yuni playing first, so I think they can get over that 65 game hump.
Stan Musial is a free agent.
Just sayn'
Musial Zombie for first.
Over/under on Reynolds and Francisco combining for over 200 strikeouts (if they platoon, that is).
How can they not platoon, neither is an everyday player, and Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooverbay is nearly a zombie as well. I guess both can back up third in case of an injury, but if both are on the field at the same time, at least one of them is facing a pitcher they cannot hit. Unless one of them can handle backing up in the OF, that robs you of another INF bench bat.
There will be bombs though, there will be bombs.

#Brewers fans in attendance at "On Deck" event today might want to wish Bob Uecker a happy 79th birthday when you see him.

Wasn't sure how he'd be received but good to hear lots of loud cheers for Brauny at #BrewersOnDeck!
