Get Wickman Now!

[brewcrewreview]

Why can't the Brewers make a move for Bob Wickman?! Maybe he's a headcase, but he can't be worse than Estrada. Wickman has to be better than Spurling, Aquino, McClung, and Wise (since he's gone nuts).

[Brian the Automator]

It's not just that Wicky's a headcase, he also might be hurt. His MRI on August 10th didn't reveal any damage in his forearm, but since that point, his WHIP has been atrocious. Would he even be eligible for the postseason roster? I know there's some DL issues you can play with, but I'm not sure if the shell game is workable.

[brewcrewreview]

He wouldn't be eligible for the post season roster and I don't care. We need to get to the post season before we have a post season roster and I think Wickman would help our bullpen, which I feel is our weakest link.

[Brian the Automator]

So you don't think his performance since his MRI is injury-related?

[Big Reed]

Wickman had a couple of bad games. he also had several good games in tha \t stretch.

[Brian the Automator]

He let at least 2 base runners on in each of his last 4 appearances.

[saget]

He also refuses to pitch if it's not a save situation

[brewdude15]

instead, we get Ray King.

[patrickgpe]

problem is there is no room on the 40, i don't think they would drop a player to get him for 3 weeks, even if he was healthy.

[JJHardy7]

They did drop Sarfate.

[ClosetBrewerFan]

They could drop Mike Jones or Drew Anderson from the 40 to make room.

[kgbaseball]

Ray King used correctly > Bob Wickman. I can't believe I'm hearing all this Wickman talk. He's not good, and he's certainly not better than what the Brewers currently have. He allows way too many baserunners.
