At the beginning of the night, it appeared the the Milwaukee Brewers were going to be keeping Ji-Man Choi and Jesus Aguliar. A move that was unexpected by the team considering they were likely going to have eight bullpen arms and four bench players. Then, the other shoe dropped as the Brewers added Dan Jennings, a left-handed reliever from Tampa Bay, recently released by the team. Milwaukee found a crafty little option for Choi, and he’ll be sent down to the minor leagues once Jennings can join the team.

This explains why the Brewers decided to let go of JJ Hoover and send Taylor Williams down to the minor leagues. The thought was two of the three would stay on the team, yet, only Oliver Drake (Puke) made it on the team. I commend the Brewers for not using Drake as their ‘left-handed specialist’ or whatever the fuck that may have been. Instead, they’re bringing in a lefty whose showed some signs of being a productive bullpen arm. Jennings’ stats are all over the place as he’s a classic bullpen arm with some good years and bad years mixed in. Brewers now have two lefties in their pen, and one for situational use in Jennings, so, they do not have burn Josh Hader in these type of situations.

To me, this is a great sign for the Brewers. They realized they had a need at pitcher and addressed it right away instead of trying to make chicken salad out of chicken shit. That’s a savvy move by this team. Excited to watch the boys this afternoon!
