[DuWayne Steurer]

Record: 74 - 88 (4th)

 

Team MVP: Braun. Stays healthy enough to play 140-ish games and posts another .850-ish OPS (nothing bold about this prediction)

 

Home Runs: Carter and Santana both finish around 30

 

Wins: Nelson - 14/15

7 Different Brewer relievers record a save

[Jenkins5]

I'm not a gambling man but I'd love some betting action on the over/under .725 OPS for Santana. Put my savings account on the over.

 

With Phillips starting in AA & what really appears to be a no rush, baby approach to placement, I think September Call Up is as early as we will see him unfortunately.

[Hammer]

Record: 66-96; 4th place in the NL Central

Team MVP: Domingo Santana

Home Runs: Chris Carter; 39

Wins: Jimmy Nelson, 13

Bold Predictions: Both Lucroy and a resurgent Braun get traded by mid-July at the latest.

[Bombers]

Record: 79-83; 4th place in the NL Central.

Team MVP: Jimmy Nelson

Home Runs: Ryan Braun 25

Wins: Jimmy Nelson, 13

Bold Prediction: Garza gets shelved for year, Zach Davies gets called up and goes 12-4 in his place 2.9 ERA

[Ennder]

Record - 68-94. 4th Place.

Team MVP - Scooter Gennett.

Home Runs - Chris Carter 29.

Wins - Chase Anderson 13.

Bold Predictions - Will Middlebrooks comes up later in season and plays well enough to revive his career.

I reconsidered and removed it. He'll be more like .750ish. They turn to Phillips because the hole there will be gaping.

[Boomer5]

Record: 62-100; 5th place in the NL Central

Team MVP: Santana

Home Runs: Carter (30)

Wins: Jungmann 12

Bold Predictions: Santana and Scooter have breakout years. Braun and Luc are traded

[Jenkins5]

With Santana's ability to walk at such a high rate, his OBP should at worse linger linger in the .350-.380 range somewhere. He will sit .100 over BA. With his natural ability to drive ball to all fields, I think he will at least sit around .800. Outside of winter ball this year, he has always produced with the hit tool, power tool, and walk ability. Think he is ready to translate it to big league success.

 

I don't know DS seems pretty happy with Pressley, Guez, EY Jr, Peterson all sitting ahead of him.... I'm very bitter about placements this season... Hopefully Reed gets a look before Phillips somewhere in OF. I'm in no rush for Arcia or Phillips, save them & their service time for future unless they are scortch earth. Leave them down. Arcia may be good for jersey sales & ticket sales but make sure he is 100% ready

[clancyphile]

Record: 79-83

Team MVP: Ryan Braun

HR Leaders: Braun 38, Carter 36, Santana 30, Lucroy 22

Wins: Jungmann, Nelson, Peralta 14 (tie)

 

Bold Predictions: Lucroy stays with Milwaukee, and the Brewers exercise the option. Middlebrooks, Cecchini, and Hill all slump and Gennett gets hurt, forcing Counsell to move Braun back to third base. Brent Suter is called up when Chase Anderson and Matt Garza fa, and proves to be a left-handed Mike Fiers. Michael Reed forces his way into the Milwaukee Brewers lineup after dominating in Colorado Springs.

[Boomer5]

I will be starting at 3B before Braun does.

[I Heart Brewers]

Record 59-103; last place in the Central

Team MVP: There won't be one

HR: Braun 32

Wins: Nelson 10

Bold prediction: Cappy is pitching coach by EOY

[Ennder]

There is no way the team can not have an MVP and Braun hits 32 HR~.

[torts]

if he gets traded after hitting 32 homers by August 1, yes they can.
