Ryan Braun: Some say he wasn't as good as a cleanup hitter in the Braun-Fielder switcheroo days of Macha. I think this is a whole different ballclub now, and Braun, as the best slugger on the team, has to be the cleanup guy. 5. Aramis Ramirez: The...

He can hit ... When he came up to bat, I wasn’t comfortable. I’d rather have [Aramis Ramirez] up there than [Castro]. There’s no way to pitch Castro. He doesn’t have a whole lot of holes.

Co-slugger Prince Fielder left via free agency as expected, for a nine-year, $214 million deal in Detroit. Where the Brewers stand heading into spring training: PACKING FOR SPRING: Milwaukee added third baseman Aramis Ramirez (.306, 26 homers, 93 RBI...

Presumably, almost no one has it better back there still. And to me, Melvin didn't receive enough credit for getting the most out of the Brewers' budget while letting someone else take a long-term risk with Fielder. Aramis Ramirez was the best power...
