When will the Brewers cut Kameron Loe?

Listen, Kameron Loe is awful. But I don't really know what you want right now. Would you rather have Marcos Estrada? How about LaTroy Hawkins? Zack Braddock? These guys suck. The bullpen really really stinks. LaTroy Hawkins is terrible, and he'll return to his terrible form. It's inevitable. Maybe you want Tim Dillard? But still, there has to be a reason he's damn near 28 years old with only 20 career games pitched in. The Brewers did a fantastic job this past offseason bringing in guys that are going to help them contend this year, but they're going to need to go the whole way with this and trade whatever is left in their minor league system and get some help in that bullpen. Because that is going to doom them. They can't hold a lead.. Wolf has pitched so well this year and this is at least the 3rd game the pen has blown a W for him. It's very frustrating for me, who actually wants to see the Brewers contend for a pennant, be this close, yet have a glaring problem when it comes to closing games. Even Axford this year hasn't been great. I know you can look at his save total and even his ERA and it looks like he's had a decent year, but his WHIP is near 1.6. He walks the tightrope seemingly every outing. And hopefully it doesn't start to catch up with him. They need to do something, and it has nothing to do with sending Loe down, or inserting LaTroy Hawkins into the setup role. They just need someone else. Desperately.
