i don't know that the brewers should be in the bottom half of the rankings right now, but i understand why the writer thinks that things might take a few years to level out... the brewers, after this year's draft, should have a ton of talent in the low minors and a few good, but flawed prospects in the high minors.... when the brewers were at the top, they had guys like fielder, hardy, weeks, braun, hart, gallardo, etc... at the top of the chain... now, the top of the chain is a slugger who is inexperienced and old, a 25 year collapse risk and a pothead (i'm being overly negative to reflect the views of a non-brewerfan) to be a top ranked team, you've got to have that jay bruce...that clayton kershaw...tht evan longoria...even an adam jones...preferably a few of those guys...right now the brewers have nada ranked that high... of course, tht could change...but just from a scouts point of view, the brewers are at a low point...and it may be a season or two before they are out of it... of course, my take is that its pretty nice that the crew can be at a low point and still be in the middle range of farm systems
