[adambr2]

I totally forgot about this guy.

[Outlander]

I imagine he gets transferred to the 60 day as soon as they need to open a spot on the 40 man, which isn't necessary right now.

or not........

[PeaveyFury]

Wahl will be one of those guys who got robbed of any opportunity due to injury. The team seemed very high on him, and we never got to see why, except for 2 innings last year.

[ClosetBrewerFan]

Injuries have hurt his chances. Plus a 9.58 ERA in his limited innings didn't help. He's 29 and running out of chances. There's a good chance he clears waivers and remains with the club

Yet another Brewers pitcher ends up in the Dodgers org

 

[jerichoholicninja]

Nottingham notwithstanding, it seems like the Dodgers, Rays, and Brewers do a lot of player shuffling between organizations. Jump to your own conclusions about that.

[PeaveyFury]

It is bewildering that the Dodgers are so interested in our bullpen cast-offs.

[jjfanec]

It is bewildering that the Dodgers are so interested in our bullpen cast-offs.

 

Well Nelson and Bickford have paid very nice dividends for them so far and Knebel had been solid as well.

[Harold Hutchison]

It is bewildering that the Dodgers are so interested in our bullpen cast-offs.

 

Given our strength and depth - there are teams that might legitimately see a Wahl/Bickford type as a legitimate upgrade.

It is bewildering that the Dodgers are so interested in our bullpen cast-offs.

 

You can't teach velocity:

 

Bobby Wahl 95.4 average MPH on the fastball

Bickford 93.5

Jimmy Nelson 94.1

Corey Knebel 96.8

 

Also going to the Rays

 

Feyereisen 93.6

Rasmussen 97.6

 

The Brewers have done a good job under the current front office in acquiring/finding high velocity pitchers and mostly shying away from the finesse type pitchers.
