The Brewers’ Weakness Thus Far
With full seasons from Orlando Arcia at shortstop and Keon Broxton in centerfield, the Milwaukee Brewers team defense, which ranked 22nd in defensive efficiency in 2016, was supposed to be improved. The opposite has been true. The Brewers are currently ranked as the worst fielding team in baseball according to the Baseball Prospectus defensive efficiency […]
Don’t Give Up On Domingo
The opening month of the 2017 season did not go as planned for young Brewers outfielder Domingo Santana.

Player to be Named Now
The early returns in the Jonathon Lucroy trade already look to be working out. Lewis Brinson dominated down the stretch in 2016 upon joining the Brewers’ farm system and is now having himself a decent, albeit early, Spring. Luis Ortiz quickly found himself sprinkled all over top-10 prospect lists and should see himself starting in […]
Replacing Chris Carter
When the Milwaukee Brewers non-tendered Chris Carter and his projected $8.1 million arbitration salary, many wondered why the team would get rid of the National Leagues home run co-leader and how they would replace his run production in the middle of the Brewers lineup. Almost immediately, the team announced the signing of Eric Thames on a […]
Knowing Your Surroundings
It is no secret we are in part defined by our environment, and in some cases, like any Colorado Rockies pitcher in their entire franchises history, completely engulfed by it. In the case of Miller Park, the Milwaukee Brewers’ home since 2001, it too has created its own environment and effect on the Brewers and […]
