What have the Milwaukee Brewers done this offseason?To an outsider looking in, it's easy to say, "not much." The Brewers went into the offseason knowing they weren't going to be big spenders in free agency, and after some ill-informed rumors regarding big-name players like Josh Hamilton and Zack Greinke passed, many began to wonder if the Brewers were going to add anyone.Slowly but steadily, however, Milwaukee has acquired several new pitchers that are going to help bring this team back into contention.The Brewers didn't need Josh Hamilton. Many believed (myself included) that the addition of Hamilton would have been great, but with the Brew Crew's offense already one of the best in baseball, the addition of another outfielder (an area of great depth for Milwaukee) seemed unnecessary.Reacquiring Greinke would have made sense, but in the end, he ended up being far out of the Brewers' price range.And quite thankfully, the ...

Prince who?Just kidding. Prince Fielder will be missed by the Milwaukee Brewers no matter which way you slice it; from his elite offensive production to his clubhouse charisma and leadership qualities, Prince is an irreplaceable talent. But if you're a Brewers fan, the loss is starting to look less and less painful the further we get into spring.Ryan Braun is finally starting to find his rhythm, Corey Hart will possibly be able to make it back on the opening day roster, Rickie Weeks is returning to full health, and the Brewers are getting offensive production out of every position.There are a couple of position battles are that are shaping up to be dead heats, namely for the starting center fielder, backup outfielder and backup infielder. But as interesting as they are, I'm not here to talk about position battles.I'm here to talk about Mat Gamel.The polarizing, long-time prospect is putting together the best ...

The offseason is starting to gain steam, and it is time to look at the starting rotation for the Brewers. It seems like one of the only parts of the team with any stability going into 2012.Assuming all five starters from 2011 are back in 2012, let's take a look at what kind of numbers they might put up next year.Begin Slideshow

Life moves on.I've now had a month to come to terms with the heartbreaking end to what was arguably the best season in franchise history for Milwaukee. I have come to terms with the fact that the Brewers have a lot of work to do if they want to win 96 games next season, that we are losing one of our best coaches to one of our bitter rivals and perhaps most importantly, I have come to terms with the probability Prince Fielder will not be wearing a Brewers uniform in 2012.Sure, there is still a possibility that Prince can return next year, especially with what appears to be a very small market for his services, but it is becoming apparent that Mark Attanasio, Doug Melvin, and the rest of the Brewers brass are making plans to build a team without Prince Fielder for the first time since 2006.It is ...
