Can (and should) the Brewers extend Zack Greinke?
Zack Greinke recently indicated he would be open to an extension with the Brewers, which is a perfectly acceptable reason to get excited as a fan. The prospect of a Greinke (or Shaun Marcum) extension has been bandied about among Brewer faithful for some time, and between Greinke’s excellent track record, possible room for growth, clean injury history, and apparent liking of Milwaukee...

The BP First Take: Tuesday, January 31 by Daniel Rathman
What a difference a year makes? Last offseason, the Brewers traded top prospect Brett Lawrie to the Blue Jays for Shaun Marcum. This offseason, the Jays had the opportunity to flip Lawrie to the Mariners for Michael Pineda—and, according to Jeff Blair of The Globe and Mail, they turned it down.

Player Profile #115: Shaun Marcum | SP | MIL
It seems that Shaun Marcum has shaken off the injury bug after putting up consecutive, near-200-inning seasons. He was one of my favorites coming into 2011, but I was disappointed with his move to the National League. His walk rate went up (6.9 BB% up from 5.4%), strikeout rate went down (19.2 K% down from 20.6%) and his ground ball rate continued to fall (37.2 GB% down from 38.4...

Milwaukee Brewers hot stove rumors
General manager Doug Melvin and the Milwaukee Brewers were one of the busiest teams last offseason, most notably dealing for starting pitchers Zack Greinke and Shaun Marcum.
