Narveson signs deal in Tokyo

December 26, 2013 By Bill Scott

Former Milwaukee Brewers left-hander Chris Narveson has signed a one-year deal with the Tokyo Yakult Swallows.

The 32-year-old Narveson went 12-9 with a 4.99 ERA in 2010 and 11-8 with a 4.45 ERA in 2011.  He suffered a torn rotator cuff and required season ending surgery after just two starts in 2012.

Narveson went 4-7 with a 5.14 ERA in 15 starts at triple-A Nashville last season.

Narveson pitched in the Dominican Winter League this year, going 2-1 with a 1.98 ERA in five starts.

Narveson served up 6-runs on 8 hits and 5 walks in 3 2/3 innings as the Milwaukee Brewers fell 9-7 to the Oakland A’s.  The big blow off of Narveson was a 4th inning grand slam by Oakland’s Chris Young.

Josh Donaldson also homered and Scott Sizemore had 4 hits and 2 rbi’s for the A’s, backing Bartolo Colon who gave up 3 runs and 6 hits over 5 innings in his third start.  Colon will have to sit out the first five games of the season while completing his 50-game suspension for a positive drug test last year.

Brewers agree with Kyle Lohse on a 3-year, $33-million deal

March 25, 2013 By Bill Scott

Free-agent pitcher Kyle Lohse has reached agreement on a three-year, $33 million deal with the Milwaukee Brewers with a potential for an

additional $1 million in incentives.  The 34-year-old Lohse posted a 16-3 record and a 2.86 ERA for the Cardinals last season, pitching a career-high 211 innings. He has a career 118-109 record and 4.45 ERA in 12 seasons with Minnesota, Cincinnati, Philadelphia and St. Louis.

Lohse declined a $13.3 million qualifying offer from St. Louis over the winter. The Brewers will give up the 17th pick in the upcoming June draft, along with the bonus money that Major League Baseball allots to that spot.  The Cardinals will receive an additional compensatory draft choice — the 28th overall pick.

Because his signing is so late is spring training, it is unclear when Lohse will be ready to make the starting rotation for Milwaukee.

It’s expected that Chris Narveson will have a spot in the starting rotation locked up, joining Yovani Gallardo, Lohse and Marco Estrada.  Either Wily Peralta or Mike Fiers will grab the 5th spot in the rotation with the other likely headed for the bullpen.

allowing 2-hits and an earned run in a 30-pitch, 1 1/3 inning stint.  Narveson is making a comeback from a torn rotator cuff.

The Brewers fell to the Kansas City Royals 3-2, their 5th straight Cactus League loss, which drops Milwaukee to 1-5 on the season.

Narveson is competing for a spot in the Brewers starting rotation.  Currently, that rotation has only two spots settled.  Yovani Gallardo and Marco Estrada have already been penciled in as starters.  Narveson is battling with Mike Fiers, Mark Rogers and Wily Peralta for the final three spots.  Peralta will get the start for the Brewers today when they face the Chicago White Sox.

Narveson won 12-games in 2010 and 11 games in 2011.

January 28, 2013 By Bill Scott

Their are many things that signify baseball season is near.  On of those in Milwaukee is “Brewers on Deck” which was held Sunday at the Delta centers.  Thousands of fans had an opportunity to meet with players, get pictures and obtain autographs in preparation for the 2013 season.

Slugger Ryan Braun was one of the numerous players and front office staff on hand for the festivities.  Braun is coming off a career best 41-homers in 2012 which helped him to a 2nd place finish in the National League MVP balloting.  There are very few, if any, weaknesses in Braun’s game but he is hoping to improve:
