Episode 121 - All things Milwaukee Brewers with Kyle Lobner

Believe it or not, baseball season is just around the corner.
Milwaukee Brewers pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training
today, and Opening Day is just over six weeks out. After one of
the most exciting winters in franchise history and with
expectations building around the young team, there's a lot to
talk about.


Kyle Lobner covers the Brewers and Wisconsin Timber Rattlers for
a variety of publications (including this one), the T-Rats
official site, and his daily "Frosty Mug" round-up on his Twitter
account every weekday. Before boarding a plane to Florida, Lobner
joined Tyler Maas at Milwaukee Record headquarters to talk about
Milwaukee's busy offseason, needs that must be addressed before
the regular season, the drastic improvement of the team's minor
league system, and the sport's economic flaws. They also
reminisced about going to minor league games together and dredged
up some forgotten prospects from Brewers past (anyone remember
Brad Nelson and Eric Arnett?). It should be noted that this
episode was recorded before Milwaukee signed Wade Miley to a
minor league deal.
