Milwaukee Brewers Power Rankings - 2012
| Power Ranking | ||||
| WEEK | RECORD | RANK | COMMENT | |
| Week 8 | 17-24 | 26 | It's been all or nothing for the Milwaukee offense in 2012. The Brewers have received fantastic performances from left fielder Ryan Braun (.433 wOBA) and catcher Jon Lucroy (.381 wOBA), and solid work from right fielder Corey Hart (.363 wOBA), but every other position has been well below average thus far. -- Jack Moore: Disciples of Uecker | |
| Week 7 | 15-19 | 22 | After a bad April (4.13 ERA in four starts), Shaun Marcum has pitched very well in May (1.80 ERA in three starts). -- ESPN.com | |
| Week 6 | 12-16 | 20 | If Milwaukee is to make a run, it might have to start with this next 16-game stretch of schedule: 12 home games, and one series each against the Cubs, Astros, Mets and Twins included. Those four teams own an aggregate record of 46-65. If the Brewers can't handle them, it will be time to reconsider the ability of this roster, injuries or no. -- Jack Moore: Disciples of Uecker | |
| Week 5 | 10-12 | 20 | The Brewers own the National League's worst run differential at minus-25 and are better than only the Twins (minus-36) in MLB. Perhaps not playing the Cardinals again until July will help. Despite taking two of the first six meetings from the NL Central leaders, Milwaukee has been outscored by 21 runs in the contests. -- Jack Moore: Disciples of Uecker | |
| Week 4 | 7-9 | 20 | After being such a constant in the setup role last year, Francisco Rodriguez has really struggled to open 2012. He gave up two runs and the lead in an inning against Colorado on Sunday, and he now owns a 6.75 ERA and a brutal -0.73 WPA (win probability added) in just nine appearances. -- Jack Moore: Disciples of Uecker | |
| Week 3 | 4-6 | 16 | Wily Peralta recorded his third straight successful start at Triple-A on Sunday and now has allowed just four runs, nine hits and six walks in 17 innings to go with 13 strikeouts. If Randy Wolf (10.61 ERA) or Chris Narveson (7.00 ERA) continues to struggle, Peralta should be the next man up. But when? -- Jack Moore: Disciples of Uecker | |
| Week 2 | 1-2 | 12 | Zack Greinke sure looked sharp in his first start of the season on Saturday (7 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 7 K). -- ESPN.com | |
| Week 1 | 0-0 | 13 | Despite winning the NL Central last season, the Brewers had one of the worst left sides of the infield in the majors, as Casey McGehee and Yuniesky Betancourt combined for just 0.8 fWAR. If Aramis Ramirez and Alex Gonzalez can equal their combined 4.7 fWAR from last season, it'll go a long way toward replacing departed star Prince Fielder. -- Jack Moore: Disciples of Uecker | |
