With the Milwaukee Brewers 2008 season over with a 3-1 series loss to Philadelphia Phillies, there are many off season questions to answer. What I will focus are Dale Sveum be the manager in 2009, who is going to be the bullpen in 2009, who will fill the two empty place in the rotation, will the ownership go out and get anyone, who will be in centerfield.
Let’s start with will Dale be back as manager in 2009? Well he did get the Brewers to the playoffs, something that ownership didn’t think that Yost could do. He won a game in the playoffs, but another that should be noted that several third base coaches do become managers of major league clubs, Ron Washington (Rangers), Manny Acta (Nationals) just to name a few of the most recent ones. I also think that the Brewers won’t find a big name manager on the Market, but don’t count out the possibility of Robin Yount as a possible manager. Rumor on the street was that a reason Robin left after his one year in Milwaukee is because they wouldn’t offer his a managerial for the Brewers. Overall my final thoughts on this decision is that the Brewers seem to do better when the personal stays the same, and Dale I believed will be a better manager than Yost.
