Brewers manager Ned Yost knows expectations for him and the team are higher this season and he thinks they can be as good as anyone. With a payroll around $70 million, Yost thinks if they play their best ball they can make the playoffs.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has a great article about Yost and his confidence in his players. The piece ends with the following lines:

"That's why I came here. I wanted to come to Milwaukee and help, in some small way, to build this organization into a championship-caliber organization. That's my goal. It'll happen. There's no 'if.' It'll happen."

Can Yost even lead the Brew Crew to the post-season?

Boy, you know... a lot of people were on their bandwagon last year. They had/have a lot of young talent. But unlike last year, I'm not sure as many people are going to jump on the bandwagon. I, for one, am skeptical they will ever be a playoff team under Yost. Pitching right now is a bit of a question mark, as is the fact that some of their young hitters underperformed last season.
