Player Profile #56: Yovani Gallardo | SP | MIL
I’ve always found Yovani Gallardo to be one of the most frustrating players in fantasy, but perhaps that’s because my expectations for him were too high too early. If you look at his stats (and we’ve given you a convenient way to do that below) you’ll see he’s consistently improved in some key areas each season (see: walk rate). Yes, his WHIP jumped...

2012 Milwaukee Brewers: The Starting Rotation and Catchers
After covering both the infield and outfield over the past couple of weeks, we’ve finally gotten to possibly the most vital position on the team, if the last decade is used as a measuring stick. That is the starting rotation. There are no changes whatsoever from last year’s starting five except maybe the order they’re ranked. But no matter what, this is a team strength...

Yovani Gallardo Player Projection No. 67
Key Stats: Yovani Gallardo went from good to great last season. He always had the ability to strikeout one hitter per inning, but last season he demonstrated better control than ever before by posting a career best 2.6 BB/9. That was a full walk lower than the season before. As a result, Gallardo was able to throw more pitches, pitches under less stress (from the wind up as opposed...

Top 20 Starters for 2012 Fantasy Baseball
Well, that took care of the hitters. They’re done. That cake is done. Unless you count Utility-only players, the Hall of Fame committee doesn’t count them, not sure why you do.

Descalso ready to compete for starting spot
ST. LOUIS - Dan Descalso arrived at spring training a year ago just hoping to sneak onto the Cardinals roster as an extra guy on the bench.
Eight months later it was his hit to start the bottom of the tenth inning that fueled the Cardinals' two-run tenth inning that helped them stave off elimination with a dramatic win in Game 6 of the World Series.

Without Prince, Brewers won't necessarily spend big
Yes, the Milwaukee Brewers plan to meet with the agents for free-agent shortstop Jose Reyes at the winter meetings. No, they will not be a serious bidder for Reyes — at least not in the range of the Marlins’ reported six-year, $90 million offer.
The Brewers, like many teams, are wary of allowing media reports to set the markets for free agents. They want to hear firsthand...

Milwaukee Brewers Post Mortem
The Milwaukee Brewers went all in this season in a team built to make a run at the National League Pennant. Unfortunately, their pitching fell flat in the National League Championship Series against the Cardinals and the team fell short of their goal. Still, it was a great season that included 96 wins (six wins above Pythagorean) and a tough win over an Arizona Diamondback team in...

Struggling Shaun Marcum shoulders fate of Brewers’ season
The Milwaukee Brewers traded for Shaun Marcum this past offseason, thinking he could help out Yovani Gallardo and put the team closer to its first World Series appearance since 1982.
On Sunday night, the righthander's two big challenges will be just that. If he beats Edwin Jackson and the St. Louis Cardinals, he'll push the NLCS to a seventh game on Monday that Gallardo will...

The Cardinals just don't swing-and-miss
With Shaun Marcum getting ready to start Game 6 of the NLCS with the Brewers' season on the line, a lot has been made about Marcum's inability to draw swinging strikes over the past month or so. In both of his postseason starts, it was pretty clear he wasn't fooling anyone -- his stuff lacks movement, and anything left in the zone is being pounded. He isn't the only...

Brewers are calm before the Game 6 storm
MILWAUKEE -- The Milwaukee Brewers' plane ride back to Wisconsin on Friday night might have felt a lot like their return from Phoenix a little more than a week earlier. That feeling, though, was probably different than what most would assume.
After losing two of three NL Championship Series games to the Cardinals in St. Louis, the Brewers return to Milwaukee facing elimination but...

Brewers doomed in Game 3 by bad start
ST. LOUIS So many times in baseball games, the first inning sets the tone for the next eight. Other times, though, the first frame is a bit of an anomaly.
In Game 3 of the NL Championship Series, the Milwaukee Brewers played eight solid innings but fell, 4-3, to the St. Louis Cardinals after the proverbial "one bad inning."

The Milwaukee Brewers hoped Yovani Gallardo would settle down and stop the St. Louis Cardinals.
Instead, he went wild.
Albert Pujols hit an RBI double during a four-run first inning against Gallardo and the Brewers never quite recovered, dropping to the Cardinals 4-3 Wednesday night and falling into a 2-1 deficit in the NL championship series.
