Walker excited to join Crew's playoff charge
General manager David Stearns talks about what adding Neil Walker means to the Brewers' lineupMILWAUKEE -- Slumping since the All-Star break and sliding fast down the National League Central standings, the Brewers added a hitter they hope can help.
Switch-hitting second baseman Neil Walker had already embarked on a multi-stop journey from Philadelphia to New York to Milwaukee late Saturday night when the Brewers announced they'd acquired him with cash from the Mets for a player to be named. Walker hoped to arrive at Miller Park in time for the Brewers' Sunday afternoon series finale against the Reds, at which time the club would have to make a corresponding roster move.
