Who can we get to pitch the 8th

[KCBrewerfan34]

This has to be addressed, Mota can't be relied to pitch in any big situations so what can the Brewers do. What closers are available? (move Torres back to the 8th) or what setup guys are available. Cubs lose Cardinals getting killed, I'm sick!!!!

How about Fuentes from Colorado? He has been talked about by a lot of people on this board and he is definitely available.

[KCBrewerfan34]

Fuentes is an obvious choice but approx 10-15 teams supposedly are talking to the Rockies about him, do we need another lefty, what about Sherrill from Baltimore, he might be available?

My first choice would be to call up Pena and see what he can do, he's been lights out in Save situations in Nashville, he just hasn't pitched with the same "vigor" when they are just getting him innings. Stan Kyles (Nashville's pitching coach) addressed him in one of the Pre Game Audio interviews in the link reports last week or the week before. I'd hate to dump more prospects on a reliever when the rotation would still need to be addressed long term.

How about Qualls, Pena or Cruz from AZ?

[BrewCrewForever]

We have him, Eric Gagne.

[KCBrewerfan34]

BrewCrew [are you] serious? you would trust Gagne to picth the 8th?

How about Qualls, Pena or Cruz from AZ?

They are still leading their division. It'd take quite a losing streak to turn them into sellers.

Seth McClung.

[CportBadger]

Carlos V or McClung could do it.

I think you see how Gagne does this month. If he keeps the ball down, he is pretty good. If not.. he is very hittable.

If he does well, yes.. I think he is our 8th inning guy. If not... you have to look elsewhere.

Could have been worse. They both could have won.

Rafael Betancourt as part of the CC deal.

I believe the Reds are listening to offers for David Weathers.
