Comments on: Brewers outbid for Linebrink http://danandsteve.com/2007/07/25/brewers-outbid-for-linebrink/ Just another Milwaukee Brewers weblog--Since 2007 Thu, 03 May 2012 02:59:21 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Dan http://danandsteve.com/2007/07/25/brewers-outbid-for-linebrink/#comment-233 Thu, 26 Jul 2007 06:19:33 +0000 http://danandsteve.com/2007/07/25/brewers-outbid-for-linebrink/#comment-233 This trade also makes me think the Gwynn Jr. for Otsuka rumors were bogus. Otsuka is better than Linebrink and Gwynn is still garbage.

Definitly a little concerning. Also, like Dave pointed out, he definitly has been roughed up a little lately, but that happens. He had a 2.52 ERA at the break. His BB rate is in line with his career rate, but his HR rate is WAY up. It’s currently a Brandon Claussen-esque 1.88 HR/9. Either way, solid addition to the pen.

even though that isn’t good, it obviously inflated his stats. hopefully it was just an artificial inflation.
