Washed-up ex Red Sox and Cubs pitcher Julian Tavarez signed with the Brewers on Sunday. After passing his physical he will likely replace Seth McClung or Dave Bush in our starting rotation.

Talk about pulling guys from the scrap heap- Tavarez has an ERA over 6.something, similar to most of our starters. He's been around more than Heidi Fleiss and has a major attitude problem. He's known for throwing at batters after giving up home runs or consecutive hits. He can get a little razzed on the mound (ala Zambrano-style) and takes it out on hitters. Who knows maybe all we need is a bench-clearing brawl to getting our lackluster team rolling.
