Latest News

Counsell ends lengthy career: CBSSports.com Senior Baseball Writer Scott Miller reports that 2B Craig Counsell has retired and will take a position with the Brewers' front office. Counsell played for the Brewers in 2011, batting .178 in 107 games. It was his sixth season with Milwaukee, and he also played for Arizona for six years. Over his 16-year career, Counsell also played for the Rockies, Marlins and Dodgers and was a part of two World Series championship squads (Marlins '97, Diamondbacks '01). (Updated 01/17/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
Counsell slipped over his last couple of seasons, becoming primarily a singles hitter, and he had lost a significant amount of playing time and Fantasy value. Nonetheless, he enjoyed a memorable career. Now, though, he can be taken off draft lists in all Fantasy formats. (Updated 01/17/2012).

October 14, 2011: Properly strapped in, Brewers' Wolf is one focused jock Randy Wolf bounces back from an ugly start in the NLDS to stymie the Cardinals in Game 4 and help the Brewers tie the NLCS. What's the secret? Scott Miller says getting through his warm-ups without a jock-strap malfunction helps.
October 13, 2011: Evaluation of starting Kotsay in center? Good hit, no field Milwaukee sacrifices defense for offense by starting Mark Kotsay in center field. Kotsay homers -- and fails to reach a fly ball during St. Louis' four-run first inning. Scott Miller says Ron Roenicke is certain his decision was the right one.
October 11, 2011: Even for Pujols, Game 2 effort something to harp about Is this the player St. Louis 'might' not re-sign? Albert Pujols goes nuts in Game 2 with a four-hit, 5-RBI effort to help tie the Brewers in the NLCS. Scott Miller says Milwaukee better find a way to tame the beast.
October 9, 2011: Once also-rans at Miller Park, Brewers now win to roaring crowds It's tough when you're less popular than the Sausage Races, which is where the Brewers were in 2002. Scott Miller says now look at them, blasting past the Cards in Game 1 to the roars of a Milwaukee crowd.
October 8, 2011: Cards vs. Brewers in NLCS? Think Thrilla in Manila, baseball-style Hatred. Animosity. Vitriol. Take 'em all, then multiply by 10 -- and that's only a fraction of the loathing between the Cards and the Brewers. Scott Miller says this NLCS may reprise the teams' 1982 World Series clash.
