The Brewers are set up to have another bad season with very few additions and lost some pretty big parts of their team. They did sign free agent starter Matt Garza to strengthen their rotation, but regardless the Brewers do not look good in 2014.
Corey Hart signed with the Mariners, so the Brewers signed Mark Reynolds as his replacement at first base. The Brewers also traded outfielder Aoki to the Royals in exchange for Wil Smith, not the actor. They still have a solid lineup, but it will have to work together to be successful in 2014. Here is how the lineup may look in 2014.
1. R. Jean Segura SS 103 OPS++
2. S. Rickie Weeks 2B 80 OPS++
3. R. Ryan Braun LF 134 OPS+
4. R. Carlos Gomez CF 126 OPS+
5. R. Aramis Ramirez 3B 125 OPS+
6. R. Jonathon Lucroy C 114 OPS+
7. R. Khris Davis RF 153 OPS+
8. R. Mark Reynolds 1B 96 OPS+
The pitching rotation for the Brewers looks pretty decent, but compared to other powers in the NL Central they are not that good. I don't have much to say about the rotation for the Brewers, so here is how their rotation may look in 2014.
1. R. Matt Garza 106 ERA+
2. R. Kyle Lohse 117 ERA+
3. R. Yovani Gallardo 94 ERA+
4. R. Marco Estrada 102 ERA+
5. R, Tyler Thronburg 195 ERA+
After trading him last deadline the Brewers will also reunite with Francisco Rodriguez, the team he was upset to be traded to by the Mets. He will most likely be the closer as John Axford signed with the Cleveland Indians. Jim Henderson, Michael Friers, and Will Smith all all probably be in the bullpen in 2014.
