Brewers thinking positively about Mota: As much as Guillermo Mota has struggled, manager Ned Yost insists the reliever's problems can be fixed, reports The Sports Xchange. "We're going to keep working with him and make him better," Yost said. "We know what he's doing wrong." What he has been doing wrong, in the eyes of many, is losing games. (Updated 07/11/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Mota is 2-5 with a 5.82 ERA in 33 appearances and has been at the center of some horrific bullpen collapses in recent weeks. After staggering to a 6.48 ERA in June, Mota has surrendered eight runs in three innings in four outings in July. Since June 6 in Colorado, when he allowed four eighth-inning runs without recording an out to turn a 4-1 lead into what became a 6-4 defeat, these are Mota's numbers over 12 outings: 10 1/3 IP, 18 H, 17 R, 14 ER, 4 BB, 5 K. Mota is 0-2 with a 12.20 ERA over that stretch. He has been so bad that there were recent concerns that he was tipping pitches to hitters. Now, the company line is that his back side is "collapsing." Get rid of him now in all Fantasy formats. (Updated 07/11/2008).
