--RHP Mark Rogers, considered one of the top pitching prospects in the organization, was having a rough time in the Arizona Fall League. Through six outings, Rogers had allowed 15 hits, nine walks and 15 earned runs in 7 2/3 innings (17.61). After missing two years with shoulder issues, Rogers posted a 1.67 ERA in 23 outings at Class A Brevard County.

--RHP Braden Looper will know within 10 days of the end of the World Series if the Brewers plan to exercise their half of his $6.5 million mutual option for 2010. If the Brewers decline their half of the option, they must pay Looper $1 million. He went 14-7 with a 5.22 ERA in 34 starts in 2009.

--RHP David Weathers has a $3.75 million club option with a $400,000 buyout. Acquired on Aug. 9 from Cincinnati for what became cash considerations, Weathers was 1-3 with a 4.88 ERA in 25 relief outings for the Brewers. He turned 40 on Sept. 25.

BY THE NUMBERS: 9 -- Brewers players who potentially could be free agents this offseason.

QUOTE TO NOTE: "There's not any downtime this offseason, but I'm looking forward to it. It's a challenge. I've got a lot of energy, and I'm ready to improve the ballclub, whatever way we can." -- GM Doug Melvin.
