The Brewers have claimed 26-year old righty starter/reliever Marco Estrada off waivers from the Nationals. He pitched in 4 games (1 start) for the Nationals last season and he was 0-1 with a 6.14 ERA and a 1.36 WHIP. Estrada also pitched in 27 games (25 starts) in AAA-ball last season and he was 9-5 with a 3.63 ERA and a 1.22 WHIP. He has now pitched in 15 games (1 start) in his major league career and he is 0-1 with a 7.20 ERA and a 1.60 WHIP. Estrada has some talent so it is worth it for the Brewers to take a chance on him.
