Hello again, Brewers fans! Twice a year, I sit down and find the most popular posts and blogs on Brewer Fanatic and their creators receive prizes for their contributions to this rapidly-growing community. While this offseason wasn't as action-packed as previous winters, there was still a lot to talk about. We look at the most popular posts and most popular blogs created by our users.

Let's dive into the most popular content of the offseason.

Most Popular Post
Nothing fires up Brewers fans like talking about ownership and their willingness to spend. In what was a rather benign post from yours truly in the wake of the Bryan Hudson trade with the Dodgers, people began piling on Mark Attanasio (for reasons I kinda get but mostly don't).

Enter @wallus. Kid gloves off, wallus made the kind of post that often takes this award walking away: the drive-by comment. For their complete and total salty attitude in this post, you win this Bernie bobblehead! Congratulations!

Most Popular Post Runner-Up
In the second-most popular post of the offseason, we have another trade comment, this time talking about the Mark Canha trade to the Detroit Tigers. This time it's @Joseph Zarr coming in with their typical positivity, writing a lengthy screed about the positives of this trade. And objectively, they're probably right. As always, thank you for all that you do here at Brewer Fanatic, Joseph!

Most Popular Blog Entry
Seriously, y'all have to start trying out our user blogs section because @CheeseheadInQC keeps running away with this award. While most people are focused on the Brewers' outfield logjam, Cheesehead digs in and writes an excellent blog post about the potential pitching logjam in the low minors. It's absolutely worth a read and gives an exciting perspective on the Brewers of the future. For this excellent entry, Cheesehead brings home one of these cool Brewers Dugout mugs.

Most Popular Blog Entry Runner-Up
In what I feel was one of the most delightful entries of the winter, @Bashopolis wrote about The Incredible Shrinking Tyler Black. I don't even know what to say other than go read it. One of the hilarious quirks of professional sports is gaming the system in height and weight.

Most Prolific Poster
As always, we highlight the poster who earned the most "points" during the offseason. You are awarded points for creating content and others liking your content. This is a pure numbers game and this winter, @sveumrules takes home the glory. No surprises there, as they provide some of the most consistent, quality takes here on Brewer Fanatic. Thanks again for all you do around here, sveum!

That's all for this winter, folks. Give a round of applause to all of those mentioned in this piece and we're only two weeks from Opening Day!
