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.

thats fine IF that was the problem with wise. but if you can't shake it off then your no good to our bullpen.
how long will this linger. milwaukee doesn't have forever to wait for these 2 headcases (turnbow&wise) to clear there heads. the time is now to strike.
each year are great young players in the field risk injury and they are that much closer to leaving us when they reach free agency. we hit em now.
this is not a mistake. a mistake would have been to stand pat and watch wise be ineffective and turnbow give up a couple walks a inning as our closer. you never know from one night to the next what your getting on the mound with turnbow. he can look lights out one night and the next couldn't find the plate if you walked him up to it and showed him where it was.
given wise has talent and maybe a little more easier to straighten out then mota might be. but mota showed this same talent before reaching the mets.
**** cordero wasnt even pitching that well in texas before we got him. all it takes is a little turn of events with these closers.
and torres is well worth the risk. maybe over used and a sore arm last year but lets see what the winter off and a new place to play=he hated pitt and wanted out- don't think that had part to play?
