I promise I am not given to conspiracy theories, but I have low key fantasized about what dodgersing the Brewers might employ this year.  (Of course, the Dodgers are no doubt dodgersing too.) 

Welcome to the club!

I know it’s not the case but I would love it if we were actually just dodgersing with Woodruff. Haven’t seen any updates since the “throwing 105 feet “ one. 

And that report was less than 3 weeks ago.  No way, No how will he be ready for the playoffs.

Gonna be honest here ... unless Woody can logically serve a useful and valuable purpose, he has no business being anywhere close to the active playoff roster. I love what the guy has given the team over the years, but we have what very well may be the most complete team in the Brewers' playoff history, and it is going to take an "all hands on deck" approach, especially considering the lack of experience and MLB innings in our current rotation, to get through the Phillies and Dodgers of the world. 

That said, the Brewers brain trust, especially when it comes to pitching, has earned a lot of trust, and if they were to make the decision to activate Woody at any time during the upcoming playoff run, what a terrific story it would/could make.

When has he not been productive? Even in his innings when he started topping out at 88, he was able to get batters out. Obviously you don't throw him out there if he isn't throwing 95, but I wouldn't trust many more if he feels physically sound.
