Considering Hamiltons past issues, and this seasons, and the fact that the Brewers went on their hot streak without Grienke, I'd rather see them bring in some SP of a "cheaper" caliber.
I love Grienke, but I don't love spending money. I'd much rather spend $100 million on 2-3 pitchers, than put all that money into a guy who plays once every 5 days barring injury.
But that's just me, I love small markets. I'd much rather build a team like the A's and O's of this year, then shelve out $100+ million on 1 guy.
Not my style. And I just realized I've been rambling...

The poll voters are idiots. Hamilton is another Jeffrey Hammonds (injury prone with off-field issues). Greinke would cost 1/5 of the payroll. Bullpen help is the easiest to find. Any of the AAA starters could be bullpen help. Innings eaters are what the team needs.
Please just concentrate on pitching!!!

This was meant just to differentiate between the options discussed on Twitter. Not meant as an all-inclusive off-season plan.
Thanks for the comment!
Stephen Drew should be an option would be a great pick up.
