Well, the Playoff Race has officially begun. We all know that the Reds Brewers will make the playoffs, but how are they doing? Let's take a look!
IF: Offense- Tony Graffanino and David Bell are probably some of the greatest acquisitions the Brewers have made in a LONG time. Graffanino is in the Top 3 for several key categories offensively for the Brewers since coming over. David Bell also gave Jeff Cirillo a much-needed breather. Prince is still ROTH candidate, and with his Homeruns, he's got one hell of a shot. Oh yeah. Bill Hall still leads Mil & all ML SS's w/ HRs. I like that shorthand. Grade- A
IF: Defense- They were awesome the last 2 weeks. Except for the 3-error game that they had, they didn't commit an error. Well, we knew they were going to happen eventually... Grade- A-
OF: Offense- Kevin Mench is doing OK. They finally replaced Geoff Jenkins with a tag-team of Gross and Hart. Clark is in his 2005 mode. Not the greatest, but OK. OK at best. Grade- B-
OF: Defense- Like the IF, they didn't have the errors. The 3 were spread out between the dirt and the grass, but they are still going solid. Grade- A-
SP: The rotation's back. Everyone's solid. Few bad outings. I say that's a BIG improvement. Grade- B
RP: Again, everyone is solid. I guess getting Ben and Tomo back really rested the bullpen. Great job, everyone. Except for Dan Kolb and Derrick Turnbow, that is. Grade- B-
CP: Cordero has a 0.00 ERA since coming to Mill-walk-eigh. 1 run, but that was not his baserunner. Oh yeah, he hasn't blown a save yet. Grade- A+
