For an offense that was pretty decent last year and had a few surprises, the emergence of Hart, Weeks and McGehee, the Brewers still finished below .500 at 76-86, good for 3rd in the NL Central. The pitching is what really struggled for the Brew Crew last year. They had a team combined 4.58 ERA and only managed 75 quality starts, not good enough for a team looking to compete and win a division. What did Milwaukee do? They went out and found some pitching, it came at a price but they certainly bolstered their arsenal.
