Brewers Notebook: Fielder a rare bright spot in 2009
The 2009 season hasn't exactly played out the way the Brewers had hoped. The pitching staff has been abysmal, key members of the offense have sputtered and a season that began with hopes of a second consecutive playoff appearance is now turning into a struggle for relevance. But in the midst of the mediocrity and underachievement, there have been a couple of bright spots. And none have been brighter than Prince Fielder, who continues to evolve into a fully rounded player.

Brewers Notebook: Time for a little breather
After playing 20 games in 20 days, the Brewers took Monday off. They've been one of the hottest teams in baseball during that stretch, posting a 14-6 mark, thanks to a settled bullpen, effective starting pitching and an offensive attack sparked by Ryan Braun.

Brewers' options limited
Sure, there are a lot of moves that Brewers fans would like to see general manager Doug Melvin make before pitchers and catchers report to spring training. But it's a pretty safe bet that this year's team will be nearly identical to the one that began the season in 2008.
