The numbers game worked against McClung in Milwaukee's bullpen. Trevor Hoffman is back as the closer, and Coffey and newly-signed LaTroy Hawkins (assuming he passes his physical next week) are ticketed for setup roles. The Brewers are close to re-signing Claudio Vargas, who was solid in the second half of 2009, and like McClung, has history as a starter. So does Villanueva, who figures to be a lower-cost option than McClung. The Brewers also have left-hander Mitch Stetter back and will take a look in Spring Training at Rule 5 Draft pick Chuck Lofgren, another lefty. Other in-house candidates for the final spot include right-hander Chris Smith and left-hander Chris Narveson.
