Rumor has it the Brewers are looking to trade Lyle Overbay to Boston for Matt Clement. Think it will work for both teams. Overbay is a solid first baseman, but with Prince Fielder ready to step in at first, Brewers can afford to trade him. Clement would be a solid No. 4 or 5 starter behind Sheets, Davis, Capuano and Ohka.

In that lineup Clement would be #2. As for Overbay, the Brewers need to deal him before he hits .250 this next season and no one wants him.

Fielder can't field a lick which is going to hurt the Crew in late innings....but this deal needs to be made!!

I don't care what the Brewers do, just as long as they win. Personally, I'm not too crazy about Clement. I am hoping, more than anything, that Sheets will be healthy all year.

I'm putting Clement number two also in that rotation. Feilder will do fine at first but will go thru some growing pains in his first full year in the field.apple

I would put Davis in front of Clement...he had a solid season. Agree that Fielder is a horrible fielder. The right side with Fielder and Weeks should be good for 40 or so errors next year.

I agree with your statement about Weeks......that guy is AWFUL in the field. I think he had about 10 errors last year by throwing the ball over first when he was about 40 feet away.

He must have not played in the field in the minors. But his bat is going to be explosive come this next season!!!
