Brewers

The Milwaukee Brewers are still attempting to secure a spot in the 2022 Major League Baseball postseason, but this afternoon the focus turned to minor league action. With the Arizona Fall League rosters being unveiled, Milwaukee fans found out who would be representing the Brewers in Glendale.

In the second installment of our position-by-position preview of the 2023 Brewers, we migrate from behind the plate to first base. Led by the third straight successful veteran reclamation project at that position, Milwaukee appears set to enjoy solidly average or better production again this year.

The major playoff odds reports are out, from both Baseball Prospectus and FanGraphs. Let's take a tour of them, to get a sense of the landscape as Opening Day appears on the horizon.

The Brewers continued their fight for first place with a weekend three-game set against the Blue Jays, sporting their new 414 City Connect uniforms at home for the first time. While the aesthetics of the new uniforms are open to interpretation, the importance of the three game set wasn't, as the Brewers came in tied for first with the Cardinals.

Name the first Brewer ever elected to start an all-star game? Most fans would struggle for the answer. Maybe George Scott with his monster 36 HR campaign of 1975. Or perhaps it was one of Yount, Molitor or Cooper. But the answer is Don Money in 1978. It was one of four all-star appearances for Money - who went on to have a steady 11-year career in Milwaukee. 

We're back, with more of our team-by-team tiered tour of the projection systems and playoff odds for 2023.

It's time to talk only about the best of the best. Here are the teams the projections think stand the best chances of playing right through Halloween.

In the golden years of Bambi's Bombers and Harvey Wallbangers, there are so many players to remember from the lineup. This included Robin Yount, Gorman Thomas, Cecil Cooper, and Paul Molitor - the group earning MVPs, HR titles, and boatloads of All-Star appearances during their time in Milwaukee. With all the colorful characters and great players, it's easy to forget one of the most productive bats in team history - and a key member of the great Brewer teams of the late 70s and early 80s - slugging outfielder Ben Oglivie. 

New York isn't done with Milwaukee yet. The Bronx moves out taking Judge and LeMaheiu with them. Queens moves in with Mad Max, Alonso and Lindor to boot. How will the Crew fair against the other team from the other league and other borough? 

Jace Peterson has been around for a while. He’s a former top prospect who never truly panned out, and didn’t have a real home until he landed in Milwaukee. Now that he’s here though, Peterson has made himself more than comfortable.

The Milwaukee Brewers have dealt with a handful of injuries over the past few weeks that have left the active roster in flux. Over the weekend they got some good news as contributors returned after rehab stints. Mike Brosseau, Trevor Gott, and Jandel Gustave all returned in the past few days.

The Milwaukee Brewers have remained largely static for the past week or so with regards to their 28-man big league roster. On Monday however, the club recalled Jake Cousins while sending Trevor Kelley to Triple-A Nashville.
