Looking back at my first post when I started this, Milwaukee has become a very intriguing team. While I have won the division a few times and 1 World Series, the Brewers have been bad every season until this past year when they got above .500 for the first time in the 8 years I've played on the backs of drafting high and stocking up on young talent like:
24 year old Keith Hernandez .341/.388/.532 17 hr 118 RBI
23 year old Jason Thompson .272/.354/.510 38 hr 110 RBI
22 year old Robin Yount .338/.393/.512 16 hr 53 doubles 124 runs 8.4 WAR MVP
25 year old Jim Rice .286/.340/.429 11 hr 30 doubles
19 year old Rickey Henderson rookie this year
Their job is open and damn, that is a tempting group of young players, but I have to stick with my Angels. I have our prospect group to their highest rating of 4th and I won the division. I have confidence that we will take it all this year
