2011 Milwaukee Brewers

[Slyder]

After an embarrassing season that saw the Brewers stretch their losing streak to 7 straight post season losses the Brewers let Garrett Anderson, Jose "The Underperformer" Guillen, and Jay Gibbons walk as free agents and Jesse Garcia rode off into the sunset. In comes Bruce Chen brought in hopes of solidifying a rotation that severly underacheived and Kevin Mench who takes over as the everyday RF. Milton Bradley will also affect this team at some point.

First up was by far the largest reason 2010 was salvaged with a playoff appearance... the Bullpen.

The bench is still up in the air so Ill reveal it when I feel everything I can do has been done to improve on it. Thoughts on the outlook of the Milwaukee Mad Drunks?

Man your lineup is so frickin' deadly. I do have superior pitching in both the pen and rotation. With an improved lineup I feel I may finally have a shot at doing better then you this year. Either way I look forward to another four team race in the brutal Central.
