New Wolf, Counsell, Zaun

Couple quick things.

Supposedly the Brewers are one of several teams to be "aggressive" towards signing free agent lefty Randy Wolf. Weak rumors that the Crew has already submitted an offer (it seems unlikely Wolf would sign until after John Lackey, the #1 free agent starter). Wolf became a more viable option after the Dodgers decided to not offer him arbitration, as Randy is a type A free agent, but will no longer require a draft pick to sign. He made $5 million last year and put up a 3.23 era and a 1.10 whip. This was his best season since 2002, but will likely see 3+ years at perhaps $10 million+ a season.

Gregg Zaun has said that he will sign today. Zaun said the teams were either the Brewers, Rockies, Rays, or Mariners. I personally don't see the Rays after they declined his option though...

Brewers GM Doug Melvin has said that he hopes to submit an offer to infielder Craig Counsell at the Winter Meetings. A while back it was said that 12 teams were interested in Counsell, who is seeking (and probably deserving) a multi-year deal. A comparison made was Alex Cora's recent signing for $2 million as a starting point.

I'm sure I'll have another one by the end of the day. Patience, Brew Up.
