I just laugh at that because they started last season off the same way they are this season and they are going to collapse.  Everyone knows that Sheets is going to get injured and Fielder is just waiting for this season to get over so he can get out and get a massive deal.

Give credit to St. Louis, they are off to a great start and Toronto swept the Red Sox, that is very good itself.

First of all, the Brewers aren't dependant on the long ball this year like they were last season.  They lead the league in team average at the moment at .303 and runs scored at 40 while 'only' hitting 7 HR's in 6 games.  We know they can hurt you with the long ball, but now they are showing they can play small ball too.

Also, Sheets started the season healthy for the first time in years.  It's very possible he gets injured, but he has the same chance as any other in the league going down.

And since you obviously have absolutely no idea how young players and free agency works, Prince must remain in Milwaukee for this season and 3 more unless traded.  Teams have the rights to a player for his first 6 full seasons; 2008 is only Prince's 3rd year.  He isn't going anywhere for quite some time.

BTW, the Brewers have much better pitching then they did last season and very deep, veteran bullpen.  It was those two aspects of their game that accounted for their collapse last season.

Worst post I've seen in a while.  These are not predictions for the playoffs, they are POWER rankings a.k.a. who is playing the best when taking a snapshot of the league.

"Everyone knows that Sheets is going to get injured and Fielder is just waiting for this season to get over so he can get out and get a massive deal."

That's news to me considering Prince can't become a free agent until after the 2010 season.  Yeah, he'll probably get a lot of money in arbitration like Ryan Howard did but he's not leaving the Brewers anytime soon.  Gotta love when these idiot posters spew their crap without knowing the facts.

Thank you for pointing out to Ballstate how free agency works in MLB. Fielder will go to arrbitriation next year if he doesn't reach an agreement with Milwaukee and they will agree on a price or MLB will tell them what he gets paid.  Ballstate also is forgetting Milwaukee isn't the wasteland for players that it use to be.  We have a owner who wants to win and will spend money to try and achieve that goal.

I don't know why you think the Brewers are going to collapse this year. They look better than last year and I would know because I watched them dominate my Cubbies. It should be a very interesting race in the NL Central. And just like other posters have said, learn something about free agency before you talk about it.

HaHa...Jason Kendall has been the b-crews' best player? Oh..Sheets pulled the next year free-agentcy shut-out. All in the same 7 games. Year just started homies. Just wait till fielder hits 40/110/115...oh..Braun 35/120/130....oh..should i go on. This team is pretty silly. Yes..I am drinking Miller...Yes. I am a Brew-crew fan. Yes reply!

The Brewers are pretty good. I am not really a fan, but I prefer them over the Cubs since they are all I ever seem to hear about. Look out when Gallardo comes back. The kid is filthy. A healthy Sheets is just the frosting. I'm not even sure they need him to compete. A number 2 ranking is high, but so is the D-Backs number 1, and I am a D-Backs fan. Don't get me wrong, they are both good enough to validate these rankings. Good luck!

Are you laughing because you don't understand baseball and it's either laugh at your stupidity or cry?  Maybe it's one of those cries that turn into a laugh, you know, like the mentally unstable kind.....  to ?  

Go Brewers!
