I'm not sold on the Milwaukee deal yet. I know you have to look at the fact that it freed up payroll to go out and get Hernandez, Pierzynski, Hermanson, etc., but I don't like the fact that we now have a .250 leadoff hitter. I know he's a great base-stealer, but what good will that do when his OBP is the same as some of the other guys' batting averages? I was a little worried about the offense the first 2 games, considering we didn't get a hit off of either starter. The pitching could be streaky, and with some of their health injuries, could potentially be a concern. Overall, I'm pleasantly surprised so far, and no matter what happens, it should be an interesting ride.
