00:00If there's a division in baseball that is wide open for business, it's the National
00:04League Central.
00:05Some big-time pitchers, a few big-time hitters, but also no clear favorite, at least in my
00:11opinion.
00:12Now, last year, the Milwaukee Brewers were that team, and Milwaukee lost a big piece.
00:16Willie Adamas leaves.
00:17He goes to the San Francisco Giants.
00:20They also lost their closer, Devin Williams, to the Yankees via trade.
00:23Now, McGill was pretty good as a fill-in, and I expect him to be a decent fantasy return
00:28this season.
00:30Let's take a deep dive here on the lineup of the Milwaukee Brewers and see what George
00:33thinks about this win total for them.
00:36You look here at the top, you're getting Churio, then Yellich, who has always hurt one way
00:40or another.
00:41He just came back in spring.
00:42I know he had a good game yesterday.
00:43I can't count on him.
00:44You got Contreras.
00:45Okay.
00:46Theoretically, a nice 1-2-3.
00:48Then Garrett Mitchell, Reece Hoskins, Bryce Terang, who I think is a player that I think
00:52is highly overrated in fantasy this year, Ortiz, Frelick, Oliver Dunn.
00:56This is not an exciting lineup.
00:58I'm sorry.
01:00It is not.
01:01There's not enough here to look at and say this is a formidable offense.
01:07When you look at the pitching staff, they're going to have to make up that ground.
01:10George Freddy Peralta is at the top of this pitching staff.
01:12You're also going to get Tobias Meyers.
01:15You're going to get Nestor Cortez coming over here from the Yankees, Aaron Zavalli, Jose
01:20Quintana.
01:21After Freddy Peralta, not a big power rotation.
01:24Where does that leave you with the Brewers in 2020?
01:30They always outplay what we think they're going to do.
01:32They always do this.
01:33All right?
01:34You lose Adonis, that's a major bat.
01:35You lose Devin Williams.
01:36I think you can replace Devin Williams, by the way.
01:37It's a closer.
01:38You should be able to do that.
01:40But I mean, you certainly said the lineup is not sexy.
01:43It's not going to outscore people.
01:45The bottom half is ugh.
01:46All right?
01:47I mean, Yellich is not Yellich anymore.
01:48I do like Cheriot.
01:49All right, Contreras, fine.
01:51Very good hitting catch, but we're not talking Mike Piazza here.
01:54I mean, this looks like a 500 team.
01:57That's what it looks like.
01:58We're going 84 wins at best here.
02:00In that division, they'll be in it, because I don't know if anybody's winning 90 games
02:05in that division.
02:06But do I think they're a team to look out for?
02:08No.
02:09Do I think they're one player away?
02:11No.
02:12So I would say somewhere around a 500 team, 80, between 79 and 84 wins is where I would
02:17have them penciled in for, not a playoff team.
