Well, put a check on the third factor. Although Gallardo's start tonight was still pitch-inflated I still see it as a positive sign. The ERA is starting to come down. Aramis should be back in the next few days and it'll certainly be interesting to see how they play with him back. I'm also REALISTIC (not comical) in the fact that if they are not within an acceptable range to contend for the division then they need to see what Lohse could bring them. I also don't think his contract is anything other teams would scoff at. He took a discount from his original requirements to come to Milwaukee and the receiving team would get most of that contract realized (in other words, it's like they just signed him as a free agent). Gallardo usually starts with a case of the April blues. In May is usually when we see the return of good Yovani. Tonight he threw a lot of pitches, but surrendered just 1 legit run. I won't count Maldonado's error. Yovani and Lohse is a good 1-2 punch. Marco is a solid #3. Willy will be up and down like most rookies. I think by the end of the year we will consider him to be a decent #4. That is fine for a rookie. I think that Burgos will lock down the #5 spot. The bullpen I think will settle at average. They won't be craptastic but they won't be above average either. They'll have dominating streches followed by comical stretches. The lineup is going to be top 3 in the MLB when the team gets healthy. Something would have to go horribly wrong for the Crew to end up being sellers. There's a better chance that Weeks goes back to his 2010 form than the Brewers ending up below .500 sellers.
