His #s were pretty solid in MKE but terrible with everyone else. If it’s a major league deal I’m curious the corresponding move. Woody to 60 day IL? Maybe they confirmed behind the scenes he needs surgery it’s just not public knowledge yet

He will be a long reliever and spot starter. Henderson is taking over Woody's spot in the rotation so the Brewers needed some depth. I don't hate it he pitched well for the Brewers at times and pushed our you know what in with the Cubs this year. I expect a Greg Jones DFA very soon.

I sorta assume it’s a big league deal and he will fill the 8th man in the bullpen role. An arm that can give you some length if needed and they’re not scared to abuse if needed. 
 

I like him more than Woodford in that role, but that’s probably some rose colored glasses type feeling.

Why would they sign him to play a roll Stallings just showed he might be able to handle? A minor league contract seems a lot more likely to me. Signing him to a major league contract means he has to stay on both the 40 man and 26 man roster. That's losing a lot of flexibility for someone who hasn't be good for quite a while. While we might have a 40 man spot opening with Woody wouldn't it make more sense to save it in case we need it for a trade? I just don't see the upside of losing the roster flexibility and money just because he was good here for a year or so once upon a time. I do see the upside of a minor league contract for someone who was good here once upon a time. 

There needs to be a King Thames version of the bible.
