Season Review

I promise I once again will start ranting about something else beside the Brewers but for now you'll have to deal with it. With the season over and the Brewers finishing 2 above .500 even though they were once 14 above I have some thoughts.

Things to change:

• FIre Yost (duh)
• Sign Braun and Fielder long term before they become ungodly good (Braun the next Boggs??)
• Stick with a set lineup with maybe 2 changes a week for rest
• Fielder, Braun, Hardy, Hart should play 162 games
  
• Trade either Vargas, Bush, Cappy; put one in bullpen; and start one
• Resign Cordero
• Get rid of Turnblow, Wise, King, McCullen, Spurling
• Do not resign Counsell, Graffanino, Mench, Gross
• I say resign Jenkins for minimum for feteran leadership and pinch hitting and defense, but never, ever start

Lineup should be

• Weeks (2B)
• Hart (RF)
• Braun (3B)
• Fielder (1B)
• Hired Outfield Help*(LF)
• Hall (CF)
• Hardy (SS)
• Estrada (C)
• Sheets/Gallardo/ Villeneuva/ Suppan/ Vargas

Bench (in order): Gwynn, Jenkins, Dillon, Rottino, Miller, Rivera, Nix
Bullpen (no order): Bush, Shouse, Cordero,Parra, Linebrink??, the rest filled somehow

*Brewers need to acquire a hired help left fielder, suggestions:

• Mets are going to dismantle that team
• Get Dunn or Griffey from reds
• Astros may dismantle as well
• Trade for Franceuor or Andrew Jones from Atlanta (ship Weeks/ Sheets/ Hall/ Cappy)
• Put up money and sign Jermaine Dye

Just ideas. Knowing the BRewers they will do nothing and improve my 2 games again over the next 2 years and in 2009 be 4 games above .500
