Brewers trade Peacock to Charlotte

The general consensus in the Brewers camp is that the decision to trade 27-year old right-handed pitcher Justin Peacock was a tough one. Peacock, a hard worker and good teammate, simply fell victim to a numbers game as the Brewers have too many starting pitchers and with only a handful of days to get down to the 25-man roster for the regular season, and with Peacock out of minor league options, trading him was the best option the team had.

In exchange they got a very similar player from Charlotte in Damian Hahn, with the biggest difference being Hahn's two remaining option years.

Granted, Hahn possesses only three pitches, not Peacock's five, and is much softer thrower. But Hahn is more of a ground-ball pitcher than Peacock and the biggest concern with Peacock is that he might always struggle with the long ball, and given the home park the Brewers play in that could be a fatal flaw.
