Worst Headline Ever
The headlines on most sports articles are pretty sickening but this one is just incredible for its egregiousness.
Should we be worried about Gamel's production?
He's slipped to .272 now. His line at Nashville:
April: .403/.483/.806
May: .244/.352 /.422
July: .118/.225/.147
Aug: .174 /.321/.217
Cuba: A creative way to find pitching this year?
The agent for Yadel Marti, Yasser Gomez and Juan Yasser tells ESPN.com's Jorge Arangure Jr. that the three Cubans have all been declared free agents. Marti and Gomez defected in December and a few weeks later their agent, Jaime Torres, said his clients were big-league ready. Now the bidding can begin...
Torres tells Arangure Jr. (via Twitter) that three NL teams and two AL teams have expressed interest in signing Gomez and Marti for the stretch run. As Arangure Jr. points out, potential suitors would have to activate either player by the end of the month for them to be playoff-eligible. Apparently Marti could boost any team's rotation.
Hall Optioned, Suppan to DL
(EDIT by KLSnow) No corresponding moves have been announced yet, although if players are coming up from the minors an official announcement likely would not be made until tomorrow afternoon.
(EDIT by TheJay) Per McCalvy, Hernan Iribarren up for Hall. (h/t Aceinyourhole)
Brewers Aren't Pursing Washburn
Ken Rosenthal and Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports report that the Brewers aren't seriously discussing a trade for Jarrod Washburn. They've lost 16 of their last 23 games and are reluctant to give up the prospects the Mariners would require in return, especially when Washburn profiles only as a Type B free agent.
Something's missing from this Brewers team and it's not a starting pitcher. There just is no spark with this club. Been that way for awhile.
Should the Crew Still Buy? Or Go Status Quo?
It's been rough lately. The team has slid now to one game over .500, the price tag for premium pitching is steep, and it's debatable whether one stud pitcher would even be enough to put the team over the top. The bullpen is now showing cracks and we still don't know what's going on with Dave Bush. Moreover, we've only got so many big prospects left to deal with.
At the same time, the division is wide open, we've got the prospects to make a big splash and you've only got so many chances to make a run for it.
What should the Brewers do?

Trade Adrian Gonzalez? It Could Happen
"If the Padres were to trade Gonzalez this off-season -- and I believe it's more likely than not that they will deal him -- chalk it up to timing."

Going in-depth with Fabiani on stadium economics and his other jobs.
What if Ken Macha managed last year's team?
Patience, nerves, bullpen ... what if the Brewers had fired Yost and hired Ken Macha a year ago?
