April 2-4, The Brewers

So here's my wrap-up of the series, from what I could gather via gameday and other such reports.

Nothing really came as that much of a surprise. Juan Pierre and Luis Gonzalez, blame the park all you want, were not very impressive in the outfield. Grady Little kept mysteriously using Matt Kemp in Ethier's place and leaving Gonzalez in (Ethier also hasn't gotten on base yet this season). Takashi Saito saw his first action tonight in the win to pick up the save and save the team from Rudy Seanez. Broxton has been rock solid so far.

Martin was about the only player who did particularly well on offense, and the #2 spot suits him well. Pierre finally hit the ball, but more spectacularly took a walk only to be driven in by Martin on the next play in game #2.

Also, the Brewers have a lot more dominance in their pitching staff that people don't seem to notice, and their offense is fairly strong as well. They are questionable in terms of depth, but otherwise this is a team that can contend.
