'On' may do heavier lifting on some weeks than others. The rivalries MLB set up with the dawn of interleague play are mostly ridiculous. Some are intuitive; others, historically-inclined: Cubs-White Sox, Yankees-Mets, Royals-Cardinals, Giants-...326Mon, 11 Jul 2022 11:47:02 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewer-drafts-from-the-past-rounds-16-20-r321/This year’s draft will have 20 rounds, and despite being potentially considered the new “bottom of the barrel” in the draft, there have been some great Major Leaguers, along with plenty of serviceable ones drafted between the 16th and 20th round. In fact, in rounds 16 through 20, the round which...321Sun, 10 Jul 2022 05:58:23 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/chris-s%C3%A1enz-had-one-memorable-day-in-the-show-r320/Chris Sáenz was born in Tucson, Arizona, in 1981. He was a 28th round pick by the Brewers in 2001 out of Pima Community College in Tucson. He began his career as a reliever, but moved to the rotation after two season. The results were middling, mostly due to control issues. But Sáenz could strik...320Sat, 09 Jul 2022 11:04:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewer-drafts-from-the-past-rounds-21-30-r305/With the MLB Draft starting on July 17th, we're looking back at the best players the Brewers have drafted, and the best that they failed to sign. Today we will take a look at players the Brewers drafted between rounds 21 and 30. Before you start, take a look at Wednesday’s article, where I check...305Wed, 06 Jul 2022 00:57:57 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/preview-pirates-and-brewers-are-unpredictable-r316/The rollercoaster continues for Milwaukee who seem to consistently develop momentum going into series with mediocre or bad teams only to see them as lost or split campaigns. That frustrating reality has been the case for the previous two series: they split against the Pirates and the Cubs manage...316Fri, 08 Jul 2022 10:32:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/july-4-6-cubs-brewers-recap-r313/Game 1 Brewers 5 – Cubs 2 Cubs 2, Brewers 5 (Final Score) on MLB Gameday It’s a Walk-Off Eric Lauer was arguably one of the best pitchers in baseball over the first two months of the season. At the end of May he was sporting a nifty 2.49 ERA with 61 strikeouts over 50 and 2/...313Thu, 07 Jul 2022 13:27:00 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-need-to-explore-upgrading-first-base-r309/  A year ago today the Brewers acquired Rowdy Tellez for a prospect named Bowden Francis and an expendable journeyman reliever in Trevor Richards. In one full season in a Brewers uniform, Tellez has endeared himself to Brewers faithful. More than comfortable, the affably nicknamed Rowdy has...309Thu, 07 Jul 2022 12:14:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/mock-drafts-hitter-or-pitcher-r311/Up to this point, most industry experts believe that the focus has been primarily on college players.  Some think pitchers make sense. Baseball America has twice connected Gonzaga RHP Gabriel Hughes to the Brewers (as has Prospects Live in their latest mock). Keith Law has been steadfast in...311Thu, 07 Jul 2022 11:04:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewer-drafts-from-the-past-round-31-or-later-r303/There hasn’t been a 31st round since 2019, and there won’t be one this year either, which is probably a good thing, because not many of these picks actually sign. In 2019, only 45% of the picks in rounds 31-40 were successfully signed. This is extremely top-heavy, as shown in the following graph...303Wed, 06 Jul 2022 11:53:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-trade-targets-outfielders-r300/There are a lot of options available in the outfield market. The Brewers have room to get creative; they can make a splash for a star, or they could sign a solid platoon bat. Milwaukee isn’t the only team in need of another player to roam the outfield though. The market figures to be competitive...300Tue, 05 Jul 2022 11:40:01 +0000https://brewerfanatic.com/news-rumors/milwaukee-brewers/brewers-busy-with-moves-over-4th-of-july-weekend-r307/On Friday the first move came when right-handed pitcher Adrian Houser was placed on the 15-day injured list with a right flexor strain. Houser has made 15 starts this season for Milwaukee and has followed up a 2021 in which he established himself as a consistent part of the starting rotation.

He was never a silver slugger nor a gold glove player and he is far from being a Hall of Fame level player. Overbay was a journeyman first baseman, having played for a total of six teams over the course of 14 seasons. However, in his two stints with the Milwau...299Mon, 04 Jul 2022 18:08:00 +0000
