Around SBN: Ellenberger vs. Sanchez Heats Up, Hughes Talks Retirement

Keepin' on keepin' on

I hope everyone enjoyed the holiday.  I apologize for all the site downtime, in case you've tried to check in over the last few days.  It's way out of my hands, of course, but I feel bad nonetheless.  

Tomorrow I'll post Part II of my very early preview of the division by looking at the Cubs, the Pirates and the Reds (read Part I here, which focused on the Astros and Cardinals).  If you didn't read my seat-of-the-pants win projection last week, you might want to check that out, too.

Also, a few of us SB Nation bloggers are talking about a NL Central roundtable, perhaps in January, so keep an eye out for that!

I'm just going to have to ...
Visit more often.  Now that the dismal Packers season is over, my thoughts turn to baseball and, dammit, I want to talk baseball.

My overriding concern with the Brewers is OBP, which everyone I seem to think is overlooking.  That's what my Lyle such a wanted commodity, and I think that's going to hurt the Crew a little this year.  Basically it boils down to a lack of a "prototypical" #3 hitter.

Really, I don't think any player right now on the team outside of Brady (kind of) with a stellar OBP.  Jenkins is OK when he's on, and Hardy might be alright, but I don't consider either a #3 hitter.  Eliminating a guy with a knack for getting on base may hurt the team somewhat, that's the only concern I have this season.

I didn't put much thought into the argument, not a whole lot going on today.  I'm hesitant about assuming vast improvements in Weeks/Hardy/Fielder, maybe that's my only problem.  That, and John Jaha.
