Yahoo's FA Tracker
Yahoo has a handy Free Agency tracker of the top 131 free agents, including some Brewers you might have heard of. I know we're all about pitching, but this one caught my eye too:
A Gold Glove-caliber third baseman with positional versatility, on-base acuity and true leadoff skills.
Gold glove third baseman? Leadoff skills? On-base acuity? Why, we need all of those. (Especially if we can somehow land groundball pitchers, instead of flyball pitchers who, shockingly, don't seem to do well at Miller Park. Having Gold-glove ability on the left side of the infield and in center could make for an interesting 2010.)
There's also one other possibility: if we're looking for an ace kind of pitcher and can get one through free agency, we'd probably have to consider something I truly truly don't want to do: trade Mat Gamel. That would be easier to do if we had third base locked up for a while, and had McGehee taking Counsell's place as supersub. Imagine, Milwaukee being known as a defensive paradise.

Think he can pitch?
"I will agree that the attitude [at BCB] is ridiculous and they have done so much to instigate animosity and then block us from responding. Real mature!"
Thank goodness they were talking about Figgins.
I was worried it would be Beltre.
