Milwaukee Brewers Need To Make a Run

The Milwaukee Brewers need to step up their game. With the Cubs putting their short of extraordinary first half behind them, they will be coming out in the second half of the season to show everyone that they are contenders, and the first place Cardinals are obviously as good as anyone else in the league.

Ryan Braun has got to get back in the groove and start hitting the home runs he has in the past, the big RBI he used to get in big situations are becoming scarce. Prince just has to continue his rampage through out into the second half and we will have a great start.

The Brewers just picked up former Diamondbacks second baseman Felipe Lopez, and are going after Roy Halladay and have the prospects to get him, if they want to give them up. I do not believe they should give Mat Gamel or Alcides Escobar, but I think they could give up JJ Hardy. JJ has not been at the top of his game for some time now, but he is a great baseball player and could look good on the Blue Jays.

Halladay could make the Brewers very serious contenders in the tight NL Central, especially if the Brewers could give him three or four runs of support that could be all Halladay needs to get the win, with all star closer Trevor Hoffman coming in to save the game for the Brew Crew.

The Brewers may also have a chance to win the Wild Card but the Giants and Tim Lincecum will be very tough contenders hardened by the NL West leading Dodgers.

The pieces are coming together, but I suppose it is the Brewers move.
