you're right...rotoworld is reporting this too

 

 

 

FOXSports.com's Ken Rosenthal says the Brewers are close to signing Craig Counsell, clearing the way for fellow free agent Tony Graffanino to potentially join the Padres.

The San Diego Union-Tribune reported in today's edition that Counsell to San Diego was pretty much a done deal. However, Rosenthal says that the Padres' offer is now off the table and they could instead go with Graffanino as their primary second baseman. Counsell wouldn't be looking at a lot of playing time in Milwaukee, so it's kind of surprising that he'd head there. At-bats, more than money, seemed to be his priority this winter.

Perhaps, Craig cloned himself?

 

I believe it is Counsell to Milawukee, and I believe this opens up a door for Graffanino to S.D.

Every time a second baseman is signed Zambrano breaks a bat over his knee.

I'm glad its not the Cubs, but this sucks cause you know he's gonna kill the Cubs.

$3 Million a year for 2 years.

 

Not a good move at all for a team that has to really watch the bottom line. Counsell at 2/$6M isn't a good move for anyone.
