Nelson Cruz: Nice little player the Brewers have in Nelson Cruz. It was said about a month ago that he will most likely spend at least half the season at AAA, before coming up to the show. The Brewers are intrigued by Nelson, and will experiment with him and his position this year. Look for Cruz to continue to improve, and possibly make an impact as a pinch hitter, or back up later on this season.
Tony Gwynn Jr.: He is going to be a Hall of Famer. Just kidding. I couldn’t resist comparing him to his father. Brewer fans sure hope he has half the ability his father did, but don’t hold your breath. He did display some speed last year stealing 32 bases in AA baseball, but his bat is lagging behind. This year is truly a make or break year for the Hall of Famer’s son.
Analysis: The Brewers have a very nice outfield. Lee, and Jenkins bring the pop from the corners, and Brady Clark brings a nice all-round ability at center field. Corey Hart is a tremendous reserve that seems next in line for a starting spot. Nelson Cruz will work feverishly to make some progress and possibly be the 5th outfielder on the roster that could start.

So is this a good team or not?

I'm going out on a limb and saying you kind of like the Brewers?
I wonder what DJRadiohead thinks of this post.
Aaman, they're probably a middle of the road team this year, with good hope for the future.

I think the Brewers are fine team this year, a little above average.
And believe it or not, I am not a Brewers fan, more of a Mets guy if anything. In general, I am more of a fantasy baseball player.
