Looking at the Brewers' pitching, it is safe to say that they have been doing a great job overall. However, one thing that the BCCC Crew have noticed is that they do have a bit of an issue with giving up a big inning.

The Brewers strangely have a ton of 40-man space right but it's always hard to add someone before it's necessary, which is what they'd need to do with Small. If his walk rate was lower, maybe this would be a no-brainer decision to add him.

I could see this going either way and see legitimacy in both courses of action.
