Opening Day, 2006...

Baseball season starts today.

The Brewers bring a superb trio of young players (JJ Hardy, Rickie Weeks, and Prince Fielder). They have a great rotation, and Ned Yost has settled in as manager...

They are probably better than any team in the NL Central, except St. Louis. I believe they will finish no worse than 2nd, and they have a 50/50 shot to take the wild card (if they do not win the division outright). Last year, as the playoffs started, my colleague at Strategypage, Austin Bay, predicted the Astros would finish ahead of the Brewers. I think he is mistaken.
