TEAMS: Milwaukee Brewers
Zack Greinke (credits below) Last offseason, Milwaukee made a couple bold trades to strengthen its pitching rotation by bringing Zack Greinke and Shaun Marcum over from the American League.Both moves paid off as those two studs each had an ERA under 3.85 and helped the Brewers make the postseason on the strength of a 3.63 team ERA.This offseason, the Brewers did not add or subtract from their rotation as they are expected to have the same starters as they did for most of last season. Grienke, Marcum, Gallardo, Randy Wolf, and Chris Narveson made all but seven of the Brewers starts last season.It is tough to argue with the success that Milwaukee got from its starting pitchers last year, although counting on Wolf and Narveson at the back of the rotation for another season could be risky.That said, Milwaukee's top three pitchers are as good as just about anyone else in the National League.Grienke missed the start of last season and struggled early with Milwaukee, but was great duri...

Bullpen will again be a strength in 2012
MILWAUKEE In 2011, the Milwaukee Brewers went into the All-Star break tied with the St. Louis Cardinals atop the National League Central. They went 49-43 in the first half a respectable mark but tore through the second half with a 47-23 record, on the way to a franchise-record 96 victories and their first division title in 29 years.

Player Profile #72: Aramis Ramirez | 3B | MIL
Milwaukee, meet Aramis Ramirez, or, as many will come to know him, not Prince Fielder. Ramirez is a nice player, a very good player even. He’s a .300 hitter (when healthy), still has enough pop to hit 30 homers (when healthy) and, if guys do their job and get on base in front of him, he can still drive in 100 runs (when healthy). There’s one problem with Ramirez, though...
