Treanor dealt to Texas

March 23, 2010 By
The Brewers have shed some light on who will be their back-up catcher in 2010. The job appears to belong to George Kottaras as the Brewers shipped his competition Matt Treanor to the Texas Rangers Monday.

Kottaras is batting .312 in 12-games and is tied for 2nd on the club with 2 home runs this spring. Treanor hit just .200 in his 10-games this spring. Milwaukee claimed Kottaras off waivers from the Boston Red Sox after the 2009 season. He hit .237 with 1-homer and 10-RBIs in 2009 for Boston.

In exchange for Treanor, the Brewers received infielder Roy Olmedo. Olmedo has not been in the majors since 2007 when he was with the Blue Jays. He has played in 198-games in the Majors between 2003 and 2007 with Cincinnati and Toronto. Olmedo is batting .294 this spring in 17 at-bats.

“This bill is not the end all be all when it comes to health care reform. It is not a perfect bill. It is a bill that will need to be implemented and adjusted and some changes made as we learn more and more what works and what doesn’t work.” [Read more...]

March 23, 2010 By

Wisconsin’s Attorney General says it’s not his decision whether or not to challenge federal health care legislation passed by Congress.

Republicans and several groups are calling on Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen to bring legal action to block the health care reforms approved by Congress Sunday night. In a statement released Monday afternoon, Van Hollen said he’s disappointed in much of the policy included in the bill, but he does not have the power to mount a challenge on his own. [Read more...]
