Hasn't the David Stearns playbook been good to you as a fan? I sure as heck know it has for me. He's taken resources and used them to provide some of the most thrilling baseball this franchise has seen. It doesn't have to be by the book, your book, my book, or the Cubs/Cardinals books. He finds value and puts rosters together that compete in the NL Central well and the more he does that, the better chances we have of running into one of those World Series many want to badly. Agree with this 100%. The average fan would've just signed whatever 1B and 3B that we could get, whether the value was a net positive or not. That's why Stearns is where he is, he has the ability to find value. Assemble the best team you can with what you have. This era of Brewers baseball has been drastically better than what Brewer fans have endured for decades yet people still complain. I'm excited about this Brewers team, I think they will be drastically more entertaining to watch than last year's team. Yeah, they need some things to go their way to win the division, but that's pro sports. Their possible ceiling is high enough to win the division for sure.
