I’m really suprised the Brewers elected to just release him rather then trade him.  Maybe his contract scared off some of the other teams.

Vargas is decent, and is more then likely just a spot starter for most teams.  If anything he would be a #4 or #5 pitcher for a few teams around the league.  He will however provide some pitching depth for the Brewers who seem to come down with pitching injuries throughout the year.  I just think the contract is for too much money, and if they try to trade him like reports have been talking about, it will be harder to find a suitor to take on that contract.
