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.
