Milwaukee Brewers 2019: Scouting, Projected Lineup, Season Prediction

Milwaukee Brewers won their first Central Division title since 2011. Christian Yelich was named the National League's Most Valuable Player. Lorenzo Cain signed the largest free agent contract in team history. Jesus Aguilar, Jhoulys Chacin, Josh Hader and Jeremy Jeffress had breakout seasons.

The Milwaukee Brewers played the offseason conservatively. They made minor trades for Alex Claudio and Ben Gamel and signed Cory Spangenberg. The team is looking forward to the 2019 season.

Craig Counsell is a great manager. He has three great closers, Josh Hader, Jeremy Jeffress and Corey Knebel. The position players are exceptional. Derek Johnson, Darnell Coles and Lee Tunnell left the team. Chris Hook replaces Johnson as hitting coach. Andy Haines takes over for Cole. Steve Karsay takes the bullpen coach position. Pat Murphy, Ed Sedar and Carlos Subero are the other coaches.

Jonathan Schoop was a flop for the Brewers. Jimmy Nelson didn't pitch in 2018 after a shoulder injury. Christian Yelich had a season for ages in the 2018 season. He hit for a cycle twice in a game against the Cincinnati Reds.  The Brewers have a mix of veterans and young arms in their starting line-up. They used the "bullpenning" approach in recent seasons. It gives them more flexibility with their pitching staff.

Lorenzo Cain, Christian Yelich, Jesus Aguilar, Travis Shaw and Jesus Avila are Milwaukee Brewers' probable starting line-up.
