Take heart, Brewer fans

I followed a link at Brew Crew Ball (which is something you should almost always do) and found this article at Brewers Bar. More projections, by the way.
2007 Brewers will be better than the World Champion Cardinals.
Looking through the pitchers portion of The Graphical Player 2007, I happened upon something, which may have been obvious to some other Brewers fans, but gave me quite a bit of hope for the Crew in 2007 – something that I think will allow them to contend for the division title, and another datum in the Doug-Melvin-is-genius book.
He has tables!

However, the question shouldn't be, "Will the 2007 Brewers be better than the 2006 Cardinals?" The question should be, "Will the 2007 Brewers be better than everyone else in the NL Central in 2007?"

He does try to answer that question by looking at how he thinks the projected NL Central starting rotations, um, project:
1. Brewers (Sheets a CY candidate, everyone else is average or a bit better)
2. Cubs (Rich Hill blows up, Lilly K’s a buttload, Prior decides to “help out”)
3. Cardinals (Reyes and Wainwright have good years)
4. Pirates (young guys come along nicely)
5. Astros (Oswalt can’t do it alone)
6. Reds (Arroyo regresses, Milton rocked)

Looks at the relievers and the hitters are coming soon at Brewers Bar.
