Small Counsell-ation

So the Milwaukee Brewers signed Craig Counsell to a two-year, $6 million contract.

One wonders why in God's name they did that. Wasn't it just a year or so ago that Rickie Weeks and J.J. Hardy were heralded as the second comings of Joe Morgan and Honus Wagner? Has the Brew Crew brain trust soured on the young talent so soon? Do they think that either (or both) will languish on the DL for extended stretches again this year?

Or does Ned Yost just hate young players?

I guess if there's a bright side for Brewers Fan, it's that there's really no such thing as a bad two-year deal. Well, 99.999% of the time, that is...
