Greinke to Brewers

This is a trade that the Brewers needed. As a Brewers fan, I think Cain, if he continues to develop, could be a future all-star. Escobar will never have a bat, but he has a pretty darn good glove. Greinke gives the Brewers, in my opinion, the 3rd best starting rotation behind Philadalphia and San Fransisco. Sure, Betancourt isn't a very good defensive short stop, but everyone in the majors has flaws. He has a better bat than Escobar, which I think will help the offense this year. Betancourt had 16 HR last year with a .259 BAA. But, with most players, when power comes average leaves. He is a career .274 hitter, which is nothing special. It is about average for a SS. Enough about Betancourt, now to Greinke. He is a former Cy Young winner... with the Royals. Which means he must have been doing something right. Also, most pitchers going from the AL to the NL do better in the NL due to lack of the DH position. According to sources, Greinke liked the idea of pitching in Milwaukee, which bodes well for his future in Milwaukee.  All in all I think this was a pretty good move by Doug Melvin. We will just have to wait and see on Escobar and Cain.
