Manny Parra
31 March 2009
Lefty Manny Parra was solid in the beginning of the year, but as with many young pitchers faded towards the end of the season. Jeff Suppan will hopefully be a solid veteran pitcher towards the end of the rotation. Offseason acquisition Braden Looper will also have a spot in the rotation. The fifth spot is open to Dave Bush and Seth McClung and anyone else that might be able to produce. With this weak inexperienced rotation the Brewers will have to produce more runs than they did last year to have a result anywhere close to their 2008 finish. Rotation Grade: 77 C+

By now the story has been beaten to the ground. Prince Fielder's altercation with Manny Parra in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Reds has turned many heads towards a team trying to break out of a losing slump. So far, everybody in the organization is confident that the scuffle is nothing but a poorly timed altercation during the heat of competition. Teammates have already brushed off the incident as nothing more than Monday's loss as they prepare for Tuesday.

The Brewers have some young pitchers with tons of potential in Yovani Gallardo and Manny Parra as well as some serviceable veterans, but they really need Sheets to become the ace of the rotation and innings eater that he is capable of. Unfortunately it is tough to predict if he is past his injuries as they have so often been the unforeseen and freak variety. With him in the rotation, a middle of the road staff becomes one in the top third of the league, something Milwaukee will need in order to compete with the Cubs.
