Kapler joins Brewers (http://www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=699133)

Outfielder was retired last year

BY TOM HAUDRICOURT

General Manager Doug Melvin has been saying all winter that the free-agent market for corner outfielders is bleak. That must be true, because Melvin brought one out of retirement Thursday. The Brewers signed Gabe Kapler, 32, an eight-year veteran who managed in Boston's farm system in 2007. Go to Story » (http://www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=699133)

Kapler had the strangest injury I ever saw in the game when he ruptured his Achilles' tendon while trying to score on a home run. :?:

I'm curious to see what that bod looks like now. One piece of advice for him:Get a looser uniform. You'll add 30 points to your BA.
