Lame former Brewer "news"

Another one of our old buddies has beeen DFA'd.  Unfortunately for Victor Santos, not only has he been told to leave town, he has been told to leave town by the worst team in the major leagues- the 30 and 50 Cincinnati Reds.

Now, I'll admit, my first thought when I saw this was to wonder when the Cardinals would make a play for 'ol Vic, but then I started to think.

Consider Brewers' pitcher A and pitcher B
Pre All Star Break:

 GS  W  L  IP   H  ER  HR  BB  K  ERA  WHIP  BAA

 14  8  3  81.2 84 37   5  31  64 4.08 1.41 .269

 14  6  1  77.2 84 37  15  33  69 4.29 1.51 .275

Pitcher A is Santos in 2004 at age 27.5ish, Pitcher B is none other than Claudio Vargas this year at age 29 putting up a slightly worse (aside from the very much worse HR totals) half season in comparison.

Does this mean anything?  Ehh, probably just that I have too much time on my hands, but it does make me think two things:

  1. It's almost scary how close those numbers are,and
  2. I'm really glad that I can't think of a scenario in which Vargas is in the Brewers' long term plans.

Yes
Hate to say it, but I knew it!

I didn't realize Vargas was 29 already ... I thought he'd improve his numbers coming from Arizona to the Brewers.  He may turn it around, but he had better do it fast.
