I think the Brewers are looking promising this year. They got some
key additions, and I don't think they lost anyone who really
produced last season.

As for catchers, I think they should keep Valentin and Perez.
Valentin's got the hitting, Perez has the experience.

Who should fill up the Brewers rotation? The first three spots are
set, who should fill the last two? Quevedo should get one. Does
anybody know Nick Neugebauer's status for this season as far as his
health?
