Kolb call

With a killer fastball and a slider, closer Dan Kolb is adding a changeup this season.  He's also planning to change his luck, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Over the past few nightmarish springs, Kolb has battled injuries and left Texas after being released by the Rangers last March 26.  Ultimately, he signed with the Brewers and eventually replaced Mike DeJean as closer -- reeling off 18 saves in a row on his way to 21 for the season.  "Dan Kolb came in and sealed the deal," pitching coach Mike Maddux told the newspaper.  "We knew if we played eight solid frames that the ninth was going to be ours.  This year, we're going to try some things as far as expanding what he can do."
