Brewers Almost Roster Set
The Milwaukee Brewers finally made the big decisions. They decided to send Dave Krynzel to AAA as well as righties Justin Lehr and Julio Santana. There are 28 players left, but really there is only one spot available. It is reported that Rick Helling and Pat Borders will be sent to AAA Nashville, which leaves 14 position players and 11 pitchers...

I'm guessing Tommy Phelps will be the odd man out.

I saw a copy of the roster of players making the trip to Milwaukee for the final exhibition games. I was interested to see that Dave Krynzel, Corey Hart and Ben Hendrickson aren't making the trip. I'm guessing that is because of some conflict with the AAA travel schedule or season, because guys like Tony Gwynn and Kane Johnson are going to be at Miller Park.
