Eric Gagne has been sucking at his job dating back to last season, when he refused to save a game for the Boston Red Sox after being traded there by the Texas Rangers. Somehow, he landed a free agent contract off the hot stove with the Milwaukee Brewers last winter, and has since managed to blow five games in 14 chances, including three of his last six. As expected this weekend, the struggling righty was yanked from the closer's spot after his comments in Saturday's edition of Milwaukee... Read Full Story

With Milwaukee Brewers sad excuse for a closer Eric Gagne out indefinitely with rotator cuff tendinitis, we felt Ned Yost might need some help with deciding how to fill his shoes. Here are a couple of exciting candidates who are more than willing and just as qualified for the role as Gagne. Choose wisely, Mr. Yost. The Bratwurst: Don't let the green Austro-Bavarian lederhosen fool you, this overly-aggressive sausage of German descent is built like a brick house. Bratt Wurst's racing profile... Read Full Story

Milwaukee Brewers righty Ben Sheets was busy dominating the Cincinnati Reds Friday before tightness in his pitching arm forced him to abandon the hill after five innings. The bullpen actually held on this time for a 5-2 victory."It’s just sore," Sheets said. "It’s really sore. It’s kind of a crampiness in there."Oh no, crampiness? Never a good sign. Sheets, 29, had been just cruising along this season, compiling a 3-0 record and 0.96 ERA, highlighted by a great performance against Johan... Read Full Story

Free agent outfielder Mike Cameron and the Milwaukee Brewers came to terms on a $7 million, one-year contract this weekend, which includes a limited no-trade clause, a $10 million club option for 2009 and a $750,000 buyout, should things not go as smoothly as expected. In the absence of longtime Brewer Geoff Jenkins, who joined the Philadelphia Phillies outfield via free agency this winter, the 35-year-old Cameron's signing makes sense. However, for the first part of next season, Milwaukee... Read Full Story

Outfielder Geoff Jenkins has agreed to a $13 million, two-year contract with the Philadelphia Phillies. In the absence of wall-smashing, turf-diving Aaron Rowand, who joined the San Francisco Giants on December 12th for five years and $60 million, Jenkins will have some big shoes to fill. The veteran may see some time in left field, but will most likely roam right, splitting time there with Jayson Werth. Jenkins, 33, hit .255 with 21 homers and 64 RBIs in 132 games for the Milwaukee Brewers... Read Full Story
