Markum trade could open door for Drabek

The Milwaukee Brewers made a splash this week trading for Zack Grienke from Kansas City and Shawn Markum from Toronto. One interesting by-product of this deal is the opening of a spot in the Toronto rotation, which Kyle Drabek will get an opportunity to compete for.

Kyle, who was the Eastern League pitcher of the year in 2010, was very impressive in September for the Jays, and the departure of Markum signals a willingness on the team's part to allow Drabek to make the 2011 team.
