Brewers

We're closing in on two weeks until the draft kicks off. Today, it's our second mock draft!

When looking at batting average, who is the best hitter in Brewer history? Cooper? Molitor? Young? Braun? Yelich? Well, if you guessed Jeff Cirillo, then you know your Brewer history. Cirillo has the highest career batting average in franchise history - edging out Paul Molitor (.303) and Cecil Cooper (.302).

The Brewers headed to Florida for a short two-game series against the tough Tampa Bay Rays. Brandon Woodruff returned to boost the Brewers rotation, and Kolten Wong also returned from the IL after a three week stint to help the Crew take on the Rays. 

While not mathematically eliminated quite yet, the Brewers are 7 1/2 games behind the Cardinals in the NL's Central Division. They are left to compete for one of three Wild Card spots in the playoffs. Can they do it? 

Needing to win as many games as possible over their final 11 games, the Brewers got a 9-2 win in Cincinnati on Saturday. 

Two games of interleague play may feel low stakes, so how about following it up with four games against a division rival? The Brewers are careening toward the halfway point in the season and in a tight race to win a division that isn't likely to yield a Wild Card. Expect excitement at PNC Park.

Plagued by inconsistency at the plate throughout 2022, Willy Adames is finally playing like he did when he was acquired from the Rays in 2021. The Brewers aren’t in a playoff spot yet, but Adames has kept them in contention.

It's mock draft SZN! ? ESPN's Kiley McDaniel dropped his most recent mock draft earlier this week. 

Josh Hader is chasing a workhorse, but also a prodigy.

The Brewers need to find ways to win as many games as they can over the final ten games. Unfortunately on Sunday afternoon, a late home run (and a lack of offense coupled with a little bad luck) cost the Brewers in a close loss to the Reds. 

Bonnie Tyler said it best. “Where have all the good men gone and where are all the Gods? Where’s the streetwise Hercules to fight the rising odds?” The 1990 Brewers were holding out for a hero. Luckily for them, they found one in Ron Robinson. 

Chris Bosio was what a lot of baseball people would call a bulldog on the mound. He was tough, competitive and combative - never afraid to knock down an opposing player or claim his part of the plate. He even looked like a Brewer - big and stout - more like a wrestler (or a plumber) than a pitcher. Despite his size, however, he was more of a finesse pitcher, throwing a split-finger fastball and showing good control. Bosio was also successful - achieving double digit win totals four times during his productive stint in Milwaukee.
