Brewers Rotation

The Brewers could be back to their projected starting five pitcher rotation as early as next week.

Tomo Okha has completed his rehab and has been announced as the starting pitcher for tomorrow's game in San Francisco.

Ben Sheets will do one more start in the minors, for Nashville, before likely being named as a starter for next week Monday or Tuesday against the Pirates.

As I posted before, we've been struggling to fill these two spots in the rotation. I don't expect two guys just back from the DL to be superheroes or anything, but frankly, at this point, they can't be any worse than what we've had in there. Everyone of those guys have given valiant efforts and I do think it's great that we've been able to give so many guys a chance. We were really able to see where we stand. And after being sent back down, some of these guys, Carlos Villanueva especially, have proved that they're good prospects. They're just young.
