With research, I truly believe the Brewers are entering a large 4-5 year window for playoff appearances and success. The team has only a few minor players who they control for less than 2 years ( sogard, Chacin, Logan, Vogt, etc...) and they have a large amount that they control for 3-6 years. 6 years: Josh Hader Brett Phillips Brent Suter Brandon Woodruff Taylor Williams 5 years: Christian Yelich Lorenzo Cain Keon Broxton Orlando Arcia Jacob Barnes Jesus Aguilar 4 years: Eric Thames Ryan Braun Corey Knebel Zach Davies Travis Shaw Domingo Santana Manny Piña 3 years: Chase Anderson Jimmy Nelson Jonathan Villar Hernan Perez The team also still has a very good to great crop of minor league options that can be seen to be ready to reasonably help between now and 2020 C-Nottingham 1b- Gatewood 2b -Hiura 2b/ss - Dubon 3b -Erceg OF - Ray Stokes Grisham SP- Burnes Ortiz Peralta Wilkerson RP - Houser Lopez Derby Bickford That's 38 players by my count who can be very helpful in many ways to put together a very consistent winning team.
