Gallardo Possibly Gone For Season

Milwaukee's Yovani Gallardo will probably miss the remainder of the 2008 season, after tearing his right ACL.

Can the Brewers overcome this latest setback and compete in the NL Central? My gut tells me no. Gallardo was emerging as a great starting pitcher for the Brewers, and losing him leaves a big gap in the rotation. The inconsistent Dave Bush will get the first shot at plugging that hole. Bush started 1 game for AAA-Nashville, going 6 innings and allowing 1 ER. Here's what the Brewers have down in the farm system:

-Jeff Weaver, AAA: 5 innings, 4 ER

-Zach Jackson, AAA: 5 starts, 8.36 ERA

-Chris Narveson, AAA: 5 starts, 4.18 ERA

-Derek Miller, AA: 6 starts, 2.05 ERA

-Sam Narron, AA: 5 starts, 2.90 ERA

-Steve Hammond, AA: 33 1/3 innings, 39 strikeouts, 3.51 ERA
