And it's official: the Brewers do indeed sign International Free Agent, Diego Ramirez, a righthanded starting pitcher out of Cuba. While he is likely not the ace they were originally hoping to acquire this off-season, along with hard-throwing lefty Daniel Torres, healthy returns for Alex Burley and Steve Alonso, a still developing Abel Pennington who our scouting staff thinks could still turn into a top of the rotation guy, and back-end options in Bobby Arends (who performed better than expected when he came up from AAA late in 1967 due to injuries to the staff) and the 39-year old Jason Lawson who exercised the option on his contract for 1968, the starting staff looks pretty solid for this upcoming season.
