Tomo Ohka represents, in some ways, the kind of sensible trades the Brewers have been making of late. Nobody's going to confuse him with even a middle-of-the-rotation starter, but they got him for the pawn shop price of Junior Spivey when Nationals GM Jim Bowden decided he'd had enough of Ohka's antics. According to Baseball Prospectus, he can throw "four different flavors of junk for strikes, and can be especially maddening for lefty hitters, keeping them waiting for the cookie that never comes." He got shelled in yesterday's game, giving up seven earned runs.
