After covering both the infield and outfield over the past couple of weeks, we’ve finally gotten to possibly the most vital position on the team, if the last decade is used as a measuring stick.

General manager Doug Melvin and the Milwaukee Brewers were one of the busiest teams last offseason, most notably dealing for starting pitchers Zack Greinke and Shaun Marcum. But reports from this year’s winter meetings are much quieter for Milwaukee as there isn’t as much money available and a lot of the free agents wouldn’t fit [...]
The Milwaukee Brewers finished their 2011 season on a down note, with a 12-6 loss Sunday that clinched the series for St. Louis, but the Brewers can be proud of one of the most successful seasons in franchise history and look forward to the future of the team.
