Nice to see the Brewers' propensity to bring in flamethrowing reliever types from "off the beaten path" sources is continuing under Arnold's direction. Very little risk, and a whole lot of potential benefit in a deal like this.

Agreed. Thanks for posting. I am going to update the Transactions thread as well.

he was never really good until he went to Japan. might as well give him a shot.

Seems like a low-risk, high reward type deal. Yes plz.

I keep saying the brewers seem to think that pitchers who have not pitched well (stateside anyway) are the new moneyball undervalued resource.

Hard throwers with Control Issues i guess if one turns out to be that diamond in the rough it be okay.

Especially these minor league deals, I have no problem signing the better stuff than results guys, just like I have no problem drafting them. Usually it never quite works out, but when it does, it can be impactful.
