Yahoo! Sports: MLB - Brewers sign McDonald to minor league deal
I was all excited that Ben McDonald was coming back, but it was just Jason McDonald. It's too bad we don't get to see guys like Jose Rijo, Bret Saberhagen and Ben McDonald pitch anymore. We need to really, really study pitcher usage. Note I called it usage not abuse. Abuse is a far too pejorative term for an area we have very little cause and effect science to back up our hypotheses with.
