MLB and the unions have agreed to several changes. I haven't had a chance to read over actual current agreement, but a summary is provided at the link above. The biggest changes IMHO: " Increasing the number of random tests during the season and offseason. Permitting public announcement of the specific substance that resulted in a player's positive test result or discipline. The parties have added over 45 performance-enhancing substances and stimulants to the list of prohibited substances in the program since the publication of the May 2008 Program. " They're also testing for HGH, but only in the offseason. Also they are changing/clarifying the rules for the collectors and the appeals process.

Roache should be in Milwaukee shortly.

The recap is mainly covers the Pirates draft picks (enter at your own risk!) but at the bottom there is a "notable picks" section that includes Brewers.

Enjoy!

Follow the link above to hear my weekly appearance on The Watercooler with Jimmie Kaska at 5:15 in Eau Claire. From there, I'll be moving straight over to The SportsDen with Downtown Ollie Burrows at 5:30 in Wausau. You can listen live to that show here.

Also, it appears Kameron Loe is dealing with an elbow issue and was unavailable this weekend. If the Brewers decide to call up Mike Fiers to start on Tuesday, someone will need to come off the roster to make room for him. It's possible Conrad or Mike McClendon could be sent back down at that point.
