I'd like to see Hall in center, Gross and Hart on either side of
him. I think they should dump Mench and Nix, and keep Jenkins and
Clark for the bench.

I think Graffy is gone to free agency. At least he filed for it, so
I don't see him coming back to MKE.

Cirillo has also filed for free agency. Perhaps he will resign, but
I don't think we can assume he will be back.

Yes, but he is not very good defensively. Between that and Miller's
declining health, C looks to be a weak spot for them.

Jackson starts the year in the minors -- I think CV has earned the five slot.





>Bullpen:

>Closer-Francisco Cordero, a no brainer




I believe Helling and Kolb have also filed for free agency--neither
is on the 40 man roster. In any case, I don't expect either back.



could we see Carlos Lee back in a brewers

That's the way I see it, too. If he wouldn't sign the $50MM deal
they put in front of him in July, why would he come back now.
