Good job tonight McClendon, now pack your bags

Mike McClendon got the win in a remarkable comeback thanks to Ryan Braun's pinch-hit 9th inning homerun. He is now 3-0 with a 2.63 ERA. His reward: sorry kid you're headed back to Nashville.

Yes we need Braddock back badly with zero lefties currently in the bullpen. But why McClendon?? Ok, at some point we may need a spot starter. Wouldn't it make more sense to send Estrada or Dillard back to stay in starter shape. Estrada is clearly 5B in the rotation right now. Is he more valuable in the bigs in long relief or in the rotation in Nashville, tough call you could easily argue keeping him in Milwaukee. Tim Dillard is option 7 and would clearly be better off getting regular starts in Nashville than garbage time in Milwaukee.
