I fully expect the Brewers to actively pursue trades and free agents. I'll be very surprised to see a rotation of Yo and 4 guys currently on the roster consisting of Peralta, Thornburg, Rogers, Estrada and Fiers.
You're basing what Doug is going to do in the off-season based on what he said in an interview with a local sports talk show? I seem to recall going into the off-season after 2010 with the consensus being what they could get for Fielder and ended up with Greinke, Marcum & Saito. GM's usually don't give away their plans to buffoons like Bill Michaels.
Considering he has an OPS of .861 the second half of the year I am fairly happy he is with us going forward. BUT HE'S HITTING .219! I'll be more curious to see how Gomez finishes 2012. It appears he's been given the chance to win the job outright for 2013.
