It was a magical year for Brewers fans yet one that ended with a bitter taste as Milwaukee fell one game short of the World Series. The move backfired as Schoop batted just .202 with a .577 OPS in 46 games for Milwaukee and was not tendered a contract for 2019. How those arms will react -- especially Jeremy Jeffress, who struggled during the postseason and will be 31 this season -- will be worth monitoring. So, too, will be the entire pitching staff's performance now that pitching coach Derek Johnson left to oversee the staff in Cincinnati. The Brewers didn't have it easy in 2018 and it will be the same in 2019.
