Coming into the 2015 season, perhaps the biggest question mark surrounding the Milwaukee Brewers was a lack of starting pitching depth. The rotation was led reliable veterans Kyle Lohse and Matt Garza and was filled out by the relatively inexperienced trio of Wily Peralta, Jimmy Nelson, and Mike Fiers. The last place Brewers obviously didn’t compete as hoped, and now with a little less than two weeks remaining in the season the starting rotation looks completely different.
The first starter we said “so long” to was Mike Fiers, who had been the Brewers’ most reliable pitcher before being included with Carlos Gomez in the blockbuster deal with Houston.
