Quick Update

Alright, just real fast as I feel as I should give you some up-to-date stuff on the team.
-DiFelice has been placed on the bereavement list to attend a funeral, that mean at least 3 days, likely to see him back on Tuesday, another journeyman (to accompany Burns) was called up to take the spot. RHP Smith, who has also put up good numbers this year at AAA Nashville.
-Gallardo throws a jem. Eight inning, 2 hits, 4bb (walks aren't very Gallardoish, but still only a whip of .750) and fanned 6.
-Villanueva throwing well. Villa finished tonight's game up with a clean slate, adding a K. After a rocky start to the season he has really come around, with walks on the down, along with his ERA which is currently under 3.
-Prince is heating up. Fielder went 2 for 2 with two walks and a hpb. His average is now above .290. Nice. Prince has always said he sees himself as a 300 hitter, maybe losing some weight has helped. He has also had a great eye at the plate this season, with his OBP being just awesome. If his walk rate stays on pace he will become the first Brewer EVER to walk 100 times in a season. (Which would be real nice because we have about 7 players who whiff 100 a year...)

That's it for now. Just wanted to keep readers (?) updated on that stuff. Be back later, hopefully this weekend I can tap into the rest of my bullpen updates, although 2 of the people I probably would have featured are now in the Bigs.

Puttin' Brews Down...Brew Up!
