Our View: The Brewers declined Braden Looper's $6.5 million 2010 option to create payroll flexibility, and Jackson would be a much better, if not necessarily cheaper, alternative. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Braden_Looper/637973 637973 Fri, 13 Nov 2009 14:52:01 EDT fanball.com http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Braden_Looper/637973 Brewers decline Looper's $6.5M 2010 option The Brewers on Friday declined their $6.5 million mutual option on right-hander Braden Looper. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Braden_Looper/637935 637935 Fri, 13 Nov 2009 14:40:02 EDT foxsports.com http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Braden_Looper/637935 Brewers | Looper's option declined The Sports Network reports the Milwaukee Brewers declined their $6.5 million option for the 2010 season on SP Braden Looper Friday, Nov. 13, making him a free agent.

Our View: They will instead pay him a $1 million buyout. Looper went 14-7 in 34 starts for the Brewers last season, but posted a 5.22 ERA and 1.49 WHIP, and allowed a garish 39 home runs, the most in the majors. Expect him to sign a very cheap one year deal with a National League club. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Braden_Looper/637792 637792 Fri, 13 Nov 2009 13:16:02 EDT fanball.com http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Braden_Looper/637792 According to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com, the Brewers have declined RHP Braden Looper's $6.5 million option According to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com, the Brewers have declined RHP Braden Looper's $6.5 million option for 2010 Looper posted a career-high 14 wins in 2009, but a quick glance under the surface reveals some troubling stats.

Counsell mulled surgery at the end of Spring Training but ultimately decided against it. Looper surrendered a Major League-worst 39 home runs this season and wondered aloud during the season's final weekend whether his persistent knee pain played a role. It's unclear whether either player will available by Spring Training. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Braden_Looper/583611 583611 Wed, 14 Oct 2009 18:28:15 EDT mlb.com http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Braden_Looper/583611 Looper has surgery Braden Looper underwent surgery Tuesday to repair the meniscus in his right knee, according to beat writer Adam McCalvey's twitter page.
