With Spring Training fast approaching, MLB.com will take a look at a different aspect of this year's Brewers squad each day this week. Today's topic: Predicting the 25-man roster.
MILWAUKEE -- Milwaukee will open Spring Training with too many starting pitchers, a "problem" that general manager David Stearns and manager Craig Counsell would love to still be facing on the eve of Opening Day.
Barring injuries, the team is largely set on the positional side, with the lone exception coming at catcher. But that is not the case on the pitching staff, particularly the rotation, which features six established starters returning from last year: Chase Anderson, Zach Davies, Matt Garza, Junior Guerra, Jimmy Nelson and Wily Peralta.
