Milwaukee Brewers Fantasy Players: Pitchers
Ben Sheets: Last year was a nightmare for Ben Sheets’ fantasy baseball managers (and for Brewers fans who wanted a postseason birth). Sheets fell to injury when he mattered the most, so people who drafted him early were very disappointed. He also missed significant time in 2006. As such, Sheets is an injury risk. If it weren’t for that fact, he might be much higher in the fantasy baseball starting pitcher cheat sheets- no pun intended. If perfectly healthy, you could see Sheets throw in the low 3’s and get 190 strikeouts on the season, but the safe money is on Sheets spending more time in the trainer’s room in 2008. You should get him as your No. 2 or No. 3 starting pitcher in your fantasy league. Of course, if Sheets has healed up for good, you’d be lucky to have him as your No. 1, and we’ll look like big jerks here at the fantasy baseball projection farm.
Jeff Suppan: You won’t find Suppan starting in many fantasy leagues, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t attach the word “sleeper” to this Brewer. This guy is an old timer whose been around the league, but unlike Sheets, he’s very reliable and not an injury risk. Last season Suppan had an ERA of 4.62, which isn’t very good for your fantasy baseball team, but just two years earlier he was throwing 3.57. He’s gone over 100 strikeouts for nine straight seasons, but he’s never gone over 130 SOs in his whole long career. Suppan is a nice replacement, as we expect he’ll get to the decade mark in 100-plus strikeout seasons in a row.
Eric Gagne: One of the Brewers added over the offseason, Gagne is not the player he was just a few seasons ago with the Dodgers. He’s a No. 2 reliever in most leagues. Unless you believe that him getting a promotion to Go-To Reliever in Milwaukee (he played under multiple better bullpen players in Boston) will give him the added confidence boost to make him an elite reliever again, you should hesitate to put make him your go-to guy in your fantasy draft cheat sheet.
