If not for Seth McClung's radar gun readings, and the Brewers discussing Dave Roberts with the Giants, it seems like some sort of deal could have been made including Steve Kline and Roberts, both past targets of the Crew.
You'd never win a pennant with a team made up of the many veterans who have been waived and have yet to sign, but worse teams exist.

Whatever strikes me as
interesting, and serious Milwaukee Brewers thoughts. If you are a believer
in respecting OBP, throwing strikes, and keeping the ball in the park,
you may have found the place you've been searching for. I don't
believe in paying a no hit/good field SS $7 million per year (Jack Wilson, I'm talking about you). I don't think
it's a good idea to "play for a run" early in the game. Build up your
minor league system, and watch success follow.
