Yep. The 40 man roster thing is understated. The Brewers value flexibility greatly. Yes, it’s true that Woodford can and probably will be expendable on the 40 or some point, but it would be a little shortsighted for the next man up to be burned on a spot starter that doesn’t really need to be up yet. Then you end up needing another spot later and now you have to make a decision far unnecessarily early on Hardin if it doesn’t work out.
Gasser is the correct, albeit unexciting choice. I like Henderson as definitely more than a AAA/MLB shuttle guy but Crow and Gasser are fine for that role while we wait for Henderson, Woodruff and Priester to get healthy. We don’t need another one occupying the 40 at this point.
