So after a quiet week, now seems like as good a time as any to try out a new feature: Astrology in the Afternoon. Today, we take a look at the man holding the reins in the Brewer front office: General Manager Doug Melvin. As the pitching market continues to thin, Melvin faces increasingly tough decisions that must be made soon. Melvin is a Leo - here's his horoscope for today:

You are filled with self-assertiveness. Working on a project today could prove beneficial at a later time; especially if you elicit the aid of friends or associates to help you. Also, there are opportunities to open up to loved ones and to communicate loving messages. There should be a great deal of contact now, which could prove beneficial with the opposite sex. You are tuned in to the thoughts and emotions of others. Good times, pleasant feelings and leisure activities with friends should be engaged in whenever possible. Romance is highlighted now and there may be a great desire to try something new or go somewhere previously unexplored. Your thirst for excitement should not completely dominate your decision-making.

Obviously, the stars recognize Melvin's need to make moves sooner, rather than later:

Working on a project today could prove beneficial at a later time; especially if you elicit the aid of friends or associates to help you.

Perhaps a long term contract for J.J. Hardy or Yovani Gallardo is in the works?

Also, there are opportunities to open up to loved ones and to communicate loving messages.

Maybe this year he can sign some players who aren't former Rangers:

Romance is highlighted now and there may be a great desire to try something new or go somewhere previously unexplored.

But, with that said, it's always important not to spend money just for the sake of spending money:

Your thirst for excitement should not completely dominate your decision-making.

So what do you think? What's in the stars for the Brewers today?
