Imagine MVP winners hitting back-to-back in Milwaukee as apparenlty the Brewers are rumored to having interests in signing slugger Josh Hamilton. Ryan Braun has probably kept his fingers crossed his fingers since the rumors began swirling.
That is automatically, minimum, 60 homers and 200 RBIs in the middle of that Brewers lineup.
And don't forget Aramis Ramirez who is also a 30 HR, 100 RBI candidate. His OPS was .901 in 2012 as he hit 27 homers and drove in 105 runs. He is a notorious slow starter that always flies under the radar until June, July and August.
The Brewers will automatically have the best 3,4,5 hitters in the majors.
Do the Brewers have the Money?
It wouldn't be surprising if Milwaukee does have some money stashed up. Despite not resigning Prince Fielder last season, the Brewers have made offers to C.C. Sabathia and they also tried keeping Zack Greinke.
Neither worked out, so it is very likely that the Brewers have some of that leftover money.
In the meantime, Brewers fans can dream of such a deadly lineup.
The park is perfect and suits the power of Hamilton.
As controversial and "risky" as Hamilton is, teams have to see the talent and performance he puts up as an upside.
Five years seems to be what teams are willing to give Hamilton for now. If the Brewers can make it six, though his injuries might slow him down eventually, then they could win the bidding for the five-time All Star.
Hamilton was almost a champion twice in Texas with the Rangers, but they couldn't get past the San Francisco Giants nor the St. Louis Cardinals.
The Brewers need a pitcher or two to become serious contenders for the National League Pennant.
