Cactus League countdown: Milwaukee Brewers
Following the Milwaukee Brewers' best season in nearly 30 years, general manager Doug Melvin stressed that it would be difficult to improve on a 96-win team. That's an especially tricky task when youve lost one of baseball's best players and might lose a second for nearly a third of the season.
