that being said melvin has just picked up torres. with torres, riske, gangne and mota. the last 2 are big ?
i think melvin and the org are loading up this bullpen and like **** ,throwing it against the wall to see what sticks.
anything to try to get that mess cleaned up is fine by me. spent on somebody better maybe or maybe he will turn it around and give us at least something.
just watch out for the brew crew's bats. this team has just started to pound the ball

Matt Wise was designated for assignment. He did struggle down the stretch on his way to a 4.19 ERA last season, but much of that was attributed to some mental issues after he threw a pitch that broke Pedro Lopez's cheekbone. I think this is quite a mistake for the Brewers. Wise is easily a better bet than Guillermo Mota (hasn't performed well since coming out of his suspension) for 2008 and probably Salomon Torres (show signs of over abuse at Pitt), as well, if he is over his mental issues. He'll be a worth a shot for another team.
