There are some solid veterans, but this is a young team overall with a lot of upside. But, there are some issues. Watching them this weekend, Weeks still has trouble defensively, and Fielder has some too. Weeks dropped a ball on a pretty routine throw from J.J. Hardy for a force at 2nd against Arizona. They may not get out of St. Louis with a win. It is really hard to ask most teams to win a series in St. Louis. This week is darn near impossible. But, I hope they get one Wednesday night, when I will be in attendance at the new Busch Stadium. That is going to be a great time, pretty much either way. But a Brewers win would make it just a bit better for me. <BR/><BR/>Incidentally, if Koskie goes down, I would look for Bill Hall to start at 3rd ahead of Cirillo. Hall would have started this year had it not been for the acquisition of Koskie. <BR/><BR/>I will have to watch some more Twins games before saying all that much about them (MLB Extra Innings free preview was this past week, so I watched the Brewers primiarily instead). But, I know they are off to a poor start. Opening at home against Oakland isn't going to help matters that much either. <BR/><BR/>As for the Phillies up in Shoreview, here's hoping for a great season. I am hoping your son is Jimmy Rollins-like, or even Mike Schmidt-like in his play this season. <BR/><BR/>There Mark, I commented on your blog. Happy now?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
