Milwaukee Brewers: General Updates

[bell]

I know all of those Brewers fans frequenting the Cafe are clamoring for some news, so here goes:

Jan. 2 - The Tacoma News-Tribune suggests the Mariners could look to obtain Jenkins from Milwaukee, which might still be interested in unloading his $8.25 million 2004 salary. The Brewers traded Richie Sexson earlier this season in a cost-cutting move and need to get their payroll down to $30 million. Further, the paper points out, Jenkins has Washington roots, is a good defensive outfielder and hits left-handed.

The Brewers are said to be interested in acquiring shortstop Carlos Guillen from the Mariners, and the News-Tribune speculates the sides could try to put together a deal that works under both teams' budgetary concerns.

Yeah, I'd like to see every Selig family connection gone from that organization. It's tough to come from 'Sconsin and not even be able to show any pride in the team when you know who's pulling the strings from above. They would make good candidates to be tarred and feathered.

As much as I can't stand the Selig clan, I think Jenkins salary needs to go. Load up on some more prospects and give Fielder a good supporting cast when he makes the big show.

I grew up rooting for the Crew (since they were AL and didn't play in my Reds division), so the past, oh, 20 years have been pretty darn painful.
