Nine trades, sixteen players. Those are the numbers that Tom Haudricourt pointed out the other day in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinal. Since David Stearns has taken the reins of the Brewers over nine trades he has acquired a total of sixteen prospects. Stearns has made for trades for prospects I’ve never heard (Garin Cecchini from Boston, for example) other trades have been high profile, such as the most recent that sent Khris Davis to Oakland. Some in the fan base weren’t too happy with that trade (it was a great trade in my opinion).
Stearns, on his part, as been slowly accumulating all the prospects he can get his hands on.
