For better or worse, the Brewers are tied to Ryan Braun. They’d love to see him return to the levels he was at prior to his suspension, but even if he doesn’t, they at least have a young core of players that can help carry the team into an era where Braun is no longer […]

There are a lot of questions you could ask about the Brewers, and a decent amount of them wouldn’t actually have anything to do with what will happen on the field. We’ll keep those to a minimum here, but there is one nagging question that will hang over the team’s head, at least for the […]

For as long as the Brewers have been one of the better offenses in the National League, they’ve also been one of the league’s worst defensive teams. A lot of that is their desire to get bats that produce into the lineup, without thinking much about the effects on the team’s defense. For all the […]

By any measure, the 2013 season was a disaster for the Milwaukee Brewers. A 6-22 month of May sent the Brewers crashing down to the bottom of the NL Central standings, and they were never able to fully dig themselves out. Of course, there was also the matter of Ryan Braun’s involvement in the Biogenesis […]

The Chicago Cubs aren't a team that is exactly loaded with impact pieces. The pieces that remain from the major overhaul the last two years are the ones that the Cubs would like to keep on the roster into the future, while attempting to leave some room for the young kids coming up through the […]

The Chicago Cubs will head into yet another season with low expectations. That doesn't necessarily mean that there isn't at least some intrigue in regard to this club, though. With top prospects and at least one major potential trade chip remaining on the club, there are questions for this team that go beyond the club […]

One could joke that the two biggest weaknesses for the Chicago Cubs in 2013 was their offense and their defense and they wouldn't be entirely incorrect. In fact, the Cubs' biggest concerns heading into the new season are what they're going to do at the plate, and what they can do with the leather. With […]

I think we've reached a critical mass for themed jerseys. This season, the Fresno Grizzlies (AAA affiliate of the San Francisco Giants) will be wearing

The Chicago Cubs have obviously been as frustrating a team as there is in Major League Baseball over the past 100+ years, and there are no guarantees that the 2014 season is going to be any better. They made some small additions, but no one to excite the fanbase, as they wait for their top […]

Go ahead and take another Cardinals starter off the market before he even gets there. St. Louis has signed current third baseman Matt Carpenter to a six-year extension worth
