This type of move could help cover 3b if the Shaw wrist injury lingers. He appears to have a better bat than any other options we currently have. If this inquiry has been more recent by the Brewers, I wonder if they are more concerned about the Shaw injury then stated previously...
How would this look for a post All Star break staff? Starters Nelson Anderson Guerra Chacin Davies Peralta (6th) Woodruff (7th) Pen Suter Burnes Jennings Barnes Williams Jeffress Hader Knebel
To get this win I would squeeze one hitter each out of Jeffress, Hader and Knebel to get through an inning. Hader has gone twice in the last 3 games and almost 40 pitches last night. Nothing about the way he has been used in the past suggests he will be available IMO. I would agree based upon how he has been used. I am just saying that I would do it for the right situation and hitter.
Any explanation as to why Chase is hitting 95 to 96 tonight? He had been sitting at 90 to 91 in all previous starts this year. He is ace material with that extra velocity.
