Zach Greinke traded to the Brewers. I can’t blame the guy for wanting to get out of KC where there has not been a playoff berth since 1985, when he was still in diapers. I just wish they wouldn’t have traded him to a team within the NL Central and the Cubs having to face him possibly six times in one year. I don’t think it tips the balances in the Central to the Brewers favor, but it certainly does not hurt their chances. I do not know how realistic it is to think of the Cubs as contenders this year either, but I can still hold out hope, like every Cubs fan, the team will compete and do some actual damage in the playoffs this year.
The Cubs starting pitching vs. Brewers starting pitching goes to the Brewers. Zambrano is Dempster are aging compared to Greinke and Gallardo. The back end of the rotation for both groups is unproven or over the hill. The Brewers are probably not the Team will have to worry about the Reds and Cardinals will both be strong teams again next year and will probably be who the Cubs will have to beat for the Division. I am looking forward to Baseball; the Winter Meetings have certainly gotten me excited for summer.
