Here is an interesting one from Rotoworld.

Although I don't think it will happen but I think it's good for a discusstion.

Code:

CF Dave Roberts
2B Rickie Weeks
LF Ryan Braun
1B Prince Fielder
RF Corey Hart
3B Bill Hall
SS J.J. Hardy
C Johnny Estrada

Ben Sheets
Jeff Suppan
Yovani Gallardo
Dave Bush
Claudio Vargas/Carlos Villanueva

Eric Gagne
Derrick Turnbow
Fernando Rodney

First, Dave Roberts Why? He isn't anything all that great and just another Averge outfielder is the last thing tne Brewers need. Sure I agree Jenkins may not be back next season. But do the Brewers need to replace him if he don't return? Wouldn't a Pletoon of Mench and Gross be just as good as Roberts. Wouldn't jenkins leaving give a chance to Tony Gwynn for a bigger roll and why would the Brewers take that chance away from him when it is past the time for him to have that.

Then why move Braun to the Outfield. He will get better on his defences and like hey everyone was saying the same thing about Rickie Weeks a few years ago and don't anymore for he is now acceptable and I'm sure the Brewers trust Braun will be too in a year or two.

Alright, Now the Brewers are curefull with there Young pitchers and Carlos Villanueva was in the Bullpen most of the year so that he would be older once he becoumes a starter and to say Yovani Gallardo is going to be the number 3 Starter isn't going to happen. The Brewers didn't mind useing Gallardo as a injury fill in as a starter this year but that will be defent next year. Villanueva with a year in the Bullpen is going be the one that gets a starting spot. The Brewers will want Gallardo to fill that long guy in the pen with Parra to fill in if the are injuries to the starters.

Hmmm, Eric Gagne. Now The Brewers will have some money to spend and I'm sure the Brewers really do value what Francisco Cordero has done and I view re-signing him will be the main goal this offseason and I belive the Brewers will pay the pipper to keep him and I don't think it is as long of a shot of keeping him as they say it is and I think the Brewers are a team that he would like to stay with.

And Scott Linebrink isn't out of question for the bullpen is where the Brewers will forcuss on in the offseason.
