News: Looper will undergo surgery to clean up the meniscus in his right knee, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports.

Analysis: "It's been bothering me since spring training," said Looper. "It's just something you deal with. No excuses." Looper gave up 39 homers and had a 5.22 ERA this season, so it seems unlikely that the Brewers will bring him back for the $6.5 million mutual option on his contract. Perhaps if Looper is willing to renegotiate, a reunion for 2010 is possible. Regardless of where he pitches, Looper should be ready to go for the start of spring training in February.

News: Looper (oblique) will not be allowed to throw for 10 to 12 days, which means he'll likely not be ready for the start of the season, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Analysis: Looper won't have enough time before the season starts to build up arm strength. If he recovers without a problem then he'd probably join the rotation near the end of April. Seth McClung is likely to take Looper's place in the rotation.
