This can only help the Brewers

I love this trade.

The Milwaukee Brewers have traded second baseman Junior Spivey to the Washington Nationals for right-handed starting pitcher Tomo Ohka.

Ohka, from Kyoto, Japan, is 4-3 with a 3.33 ERA in nine starts this season. He's pitched in the major leagues for seven seasons with Washington, Montreal and Boston, compiling a career 37-47 record and 3.87 ERA.

The Brewers have a number of options to replace Spivey on the roster. Perhaps the most likely is brining up second baseman Rickie Weeks from the minor leagues. Weeks, considered the club's top prospect, is batting .320 with 12 homers and 48 RBI for AAA Nashville.

What a great move by the Brewers.
