Having lost one lefthanded pitcher with the last name Brown to free agency (well, not so much lost Joey Brown as decided not to keep him) the Brewers sign another- David Brown- to fill a very important gap (the lack of a single lefthander) in the bullpen. Along with the recently acquired Miguel Solis, and hopefully with the continued maturation of Armando Cruz and a likely bounce back for Bill Roache, the Brewers pen looks like it should be much better in 1967 then it was in 1966. Then again, it couldn't really be much worse.
Another positive note here is that with San Antonio signing Joey Brown the Brewers get a first round supplemental draft pick in the upcoming draft. That on top of getting the #5 pick overall should hopefully yield some decent prospects for the future.
