    Whats your opinion of the Brewers bullpen?

    Just trying to evaluate how many wins they will get ..

    do you think Gorzelany gets back into the starting rotation? he looked decent 2nd half of last season.

    What ever happened to that pitcher Fiers ? does he have a chance to grab a spot in the rotation?

    Bullpen was top 5 ln league last year and they have improved upon it. Bullpen is not the problem, lots of good arms .

    anybody think Brewers have value at 10-1 to win NL Central

    1. Segura SS
    2. Gennett/Weeks 2B
    3. Gomez CF
    4. Braun RF
    5. Lucroy C
    6. A.Ramirez 3B
    7. Francisco 1B
    8. K. Davis LF
    9. Pitcher

    Mark Reynolds -Platoon

    Line-up looks really good. Only thing is they don't have many good left handed bats...

    maybe they could sign stephen drew to come off the bench or pick someone up at the trade deadline

    actually like the Brewers alot this year, they kept it together after the Braun suspension and actually finished out the season strong last year.

    You already know my thought on sucker futures bets.

    Besides that, NL Central too strong this year. Still a few easy outs in that lineup, and everyone ignores depth. Brewers have very little. Braun off of roids too much of a mystery.

    Don't think Henderson holds down the closer role all year. I think K-Rod is back to closing by mid summer.

    I actually like the Brewers quite a bit this year, but I also question the pen somewhat. That said, with that lineup and a pretty deep rotation, they should be able to get into the mid 80 win range.

    Actually wouldn't mind seeing a stephen drew signing - no depth is correct - don't know where the dog day production will come from yet

    Weeks and Francisco have been ripping the cover off the ball in spring training. So it looks like Mark Reynolds and Scooter Gennett will provide some depth.

    Scooter may start out in triple A but he will be back up to the majors by mid season.

    But yeah Stephen Drew would be a good signing.

    Manager Ron Roenike or however you spell it says it ls b/c Weeks has changed then position of his hands in his batting stance

    So if Jean Segura, Rickie Weeks, Ryan Braun , and Carlos Gomez are all in beast mode...

    any chance they win the division?

    bovada doesnt even still have that available. Thinking about betting a unit on each of these... If cards win the pennant, you get your money back. If the others win, you get good payout... all you have to do is hope nats or dodgers dont win it all and its a safe bet. think dodgers is inflated and overrated. and dont think nats can do it.

    Cards 4/1
    Giants 7/1
    Braves 9/1
    Brewers 12/1
