A Decent Pickup
The guy is way past his warranty period, but at least the Brewers only view him as a stop-gap.What is encouraging about the signing is that even though the Brewers know they have a player coming up that they really like (who won't be ready for a year or two), they decided it wasn't good enough to get by on what they had at the position last year. They actually went and outbid two other teams for this veteran.
When they upgrade their stop-gaps, it's a sign that they are going to toss around more of the mazumah.
Although, that's not saying much. They could hardly spend less if they tried.
