Malcontent with an ERA over 10.

Move along, there's nothing to see here.

Yeah, I don't think Backe is going to help anyone.

You're a Cards fan, right? Well with me being an Astros fan, I think we could agree that placing Brandon Backe in the Brewers rotation would help US.

Backe deserves a look. It isn't his fault he has been playing badly for a really bad organization. Maybe with the right coaching....

Sounds like he could help come time for batting practice.

If true, this is not a positive reflection upon the state of Brewers.
