The 26 year old has struggled in AAA this season but he's potentially another young, controllable talent for Stearns and the Brewers.
Thus far during his short tenure as General Manager of the Milwaukee Brewers, Slingin' David Stearns has shown that he's very willing to work the waiver wire in search of talent to help the organization. Some of the players that he's acquired have been quite successful so far (Junior Guerra, Kirk Nieuwenhuis), some haven't (Sam Freeman, Michael Kirkman), and the jury is still out on others for various reasons (Rymer Liriano, Sean Nolin, Garin Cecchini). Since Stearns has arrived in Milwaukee his mantra has been to stockpile as much "young, controllable talent" as possible, and another interesting opportunity to add a young player to the fold has presented itself in the last few days.
