Brewers sign Mike Lamb
Okay, figure this one out. It's after 9/1, so Lamb's not eligible for the postseason roster, and he's left-handed, so he's not a replacement for Bill Hall. Lamb hit .240/.283/.331 (BR neutralized) in 261 PA for the Twins earlier this year before getting kicked to the curb; for reference, Craig Counsell is hitting a neutralized .240/.340/.318 for the Brewers this year.
On the other hand, Lamb was on the Doug Melvin Rangers...

Well sure
If we need someone to lay down a sacrifice, who better than Lamb?

Lamb
I still think he’s be a better option to start against righties than Counsell. Lamb’s sucked offensively this year, but he’s been able to hit in the past. He’s not a star and he doesn’t have Counsell’s grit, but I don’t mind giving him a shot.
At the very least, he should be another option at third base for the beginning of next year while they figure out what to do with Gamel. I can’t imagine there will be a big demand for him in the offseason so unless he truly hates Milwaukee (in which case he could’ve signed elsewhere), he would probably come back.

Hmmm
What happens when you DFA a minor-leaguer? I assume he’s not available to be plucked by another team?

I think it's the same as a major leaguer
Any team could claim Palmisano if they put him on their 40-man roster right away. I suspect the front office is figuring the fact he had knee surgery earlier this year and hasn’t starting catching again yet will keep him from being claimed.

There are exactly 5 third basemen in baseball worse than Bill Hall...
if you go by VORP (100 PAs or more). Bill Hall’s is -4.2. The guys that are worse are:
Donnie Murphy: -4.6
Jose Castillo: -5.5
Jack Hannahan: -9.7
Mike Lamb: -10.5
Andy Marte: -11.6
I guess you can fall off the floor.
So does Palmisano being DFA'd make him the sacrificial Lamb?

Flagged for repeating my sacrifice-Lamb joke in comment 1.
My joke was terrible; repeating it is just unforgivable.

Ha, I actually read that earlier and didn't get it
to give props to this great joke, go here and click “rec”

Sabathia's going to be happy
He lost out on Hamburger, we can’t trade for Pie, so now we got some Lamb. Mmmm
C. Magruder scored, R. Weeks to second on balk
I apologize for that
That was one where I should have written it, looked at it, then not posted it.
