With Jonathan Koch looking very much like the heir apparent to Tanner Yurek at second base, and a few of the best Brewers prospects in the organization also being natural second basemen, it was decided that Danny Roman, who performed so well in a utility role in 1971 but got off to a horrible start at the plate this season, deserved a chance to find a big league role elsewhere. Roman, along with fellow AAA middle infielder and great glove man, Juan Lujan, who served as a back-up infielder on the Brewers squad from 1968-1970, were packaged off to Brooklyn for a pair of minor league prospects. (Brooklyn is pretty loaded with prospects and these are far from their two best.)
Relief pitcher Brian Murray, who would/could profile as a solid starting pitcher other than the fact that he doesn't appear to the have the stamina for the job, is nevertheless an intriguing prospect and could well earn a role in the Brewers pitching staff within the next few seasons. He is a hard-throwing 22-year old righty with a great fastball, a very promising cutter, and a slider that is serviceable and has room for a bit of development still. He will likely struggle with control issues going forward but could rack up the strikeouts and has decent movement.
23-year old outfielder John Flores isn't likely to earn a significant spot in the crowded Denver outfield, but he still has the potential of providing some value off the bench, especially as a right-handed hitter in an outfield picture dominated by left-handed hitters.

The move also freed up a bit of budget and 40-man roster space for the Brewers.
