When the Brewers decided to retain Prince Fielder despite his pending free
agency and gave up three of their best prospects (Brett Lawrie, Jake
Odorizzi, Jeremy Jeffress) as well as youngsters Alcides Escobar and Lorenzo
Cain in trades for Zack Greinke and Shaun Marcum, it was obvious they were
going all-in for the 2011 season.
And then their chip stack grew and grew.
An improved pitching staff propelled Milwaukee to a franchise-record 96
regular-season victories, including a 57-24 mark at Miller Park. The Brewers
won their first division title and first playoff series since their World
Series season of 1982, dispatching the Diamondbacks in the Division Series
before losing to the eventual champion Cardinals in a six-game National
League Championship Series.
Greinke and Marcum lived up to expectations, combining for 29 victories and
helping lower the team ERA from 4.58 in 2010 (14th-best in the NL) to 3.63 in
2011 (seventh). Homegrown product Yovani Gallardo remained the staff ace,
winning 17 games and becoming the first Milwaukee pitcher to reach 200
strikeouts in three consecutive seasons. Reclamation project John Axford tied
for the league lead with 46 saves and set a team record by converting his
last 43 in a row.
As usual, the offense was productive and led by the formidable 1-2 punch of
Ryan Braun and Fielder, who both put together MVP-caliber seasons. Rickie
Weeks joined them to give the Brewers three starters in the All-Star Game, a
first for the franchise, while Corey Hart had another solid season.
General manager Doug Melvin continued to make astute moves during the season
while giving up second- and third-tier prospects. He picked up Nyjer Morgan
from the Nationals at the end of spring training, and Morgan ignited the team
with his enthusiasm and delivered the Division Series-winning hit. Melvin
also acquired Francisco Rodriguez from the Mets to serve as Axford's set-up
man, and Jerry Hairston from Washington to fill in for an injured Weeks and a
slumping Casey McGehee.
Milwaukee didn't need much help from the minor leagues, though third baseman
Taylor Green parlayed a big season at Triple-A into a late-August callup and
a spot on the postseason roster. After dropping to 30th in Baseball America's
rankings following the Greinke and Marcum deals, the farm system rallied in
2011 and showed some promise for the future.
The Brewers won't necessarily have openings for them, but Green, outfielders
Logan Schafer and Caleb Gindl and righthander Michael Fiers have proven
themselves in Triple-A and could help at the major league level in 2012.
Righthander Wily Peralta, the orgnization's No. 1 prospect, allowed just
seven runs in five Triple-A starts at the end of the season and isn't far
behind.
In order to avoid having to trade for more pitching in the future, Milwaukee
continued to focus on arms in the draft. They had two of the top 15 choices
in 2011, including a compensation pick for failing to sign first-rounder
Dylan Covey the previous year. The Brewers used both first-rounders on
advanced college pitchers, Texas righthander Taylor Jungmann and Georgia Tech
lefty Jed Bradley, and also picked up righthanders Jorge Lopez (second
round), Drew Gagnon (third) and David Goforth (seventh).
