Apparently we slept on this, but a couple of days ago, Stearns picked up a couple bodies from his old digs, grabbing RHP Adrien Houser and OF Tyrone Taylor for RHP Coleman Crow.

Crow is the minor leaguer the Mets got from the Angels in the Escobar deal. He missed last season with Tommy John, but the Brewers think he might pitch in AA this year.

Houser and Taylor were available cheaply because they're arb-eligible after the season and Milwaukee is being thrifty. Houser is good for 20+ starts a season, and had a 1.39 WHiP last season. Solid #3 candidate.

(Rotation: Senga, Quintana, Houser, Severe No, Lucchesi?)

Taylor has a smattering of power (career Isolated Power is about .160), but his career OBA is .294. Yikes. The guys on MLB.com were acting as if he would be a useful platoon piece, but…

career OPS v. righties, .742
career OPS v. lefties, .752

Not exactly a dramatic split, there. Still, anything that takes ABs away from DJ Stewart is A-OK w. me.
