Milwaukee Brewers Preview: Major League Placeholders

There’s not a whole lot to like about the Brewers’ rotation in 2016 (ranked 26 of 30 by fangraphs, with a projected 9.7 WAR for the group), but that probably doesn’t matter much to Brewers’ fans. For the most part, these guys won’t have a role to play on the next good Brewers team, so they’re just holding down the fort until reinforcements arrive. Normally in these situations fans can at least get excited about a top prospect, but Milwaukee seems to be taking a longer-term approach to their rebuild and isn’t planning on auditioning a lot of young guys this year (and starting their service clocks).
