Brewers Maybe Looking At Street
The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinal’s Tom Haudricourt has the goods. He learned that indeed the Milwaukee Brewers had a scout at the Oakland Athletics’ game tonight, and the reason was most likely to scout closer Huston Street.
Brewers’ GM Doug Melvin has already made it clear that the Brew Crew are in a “win-now” mode, acquiring soon to be free-agent C.C. Sabathia. On the other side of the puzzle, the Oakland Athletics GM Billy Beane has made it clear that Oakland is selling this year. He’s already traded both Rich Harden and Joe Blanton.
The 24-year old Street has had an off-year in 2008, compiling a 4.07 ERA in 38 innings. He’s also blown 4 out of 21 saves. Still, his slider is one of the best in baseball and there’s no doubt he would help Milwaukee in late-game situations, even if Eric Gagne returns to his old form.
