Reliever Miguel Solis is off to another great start and the team just signed him to a 4-year extension to keep that core of the bullpen intact.
The Brewers are exceeding expectations (well, the so-called experts expectations, they are right about where Brewers management hoped and believed they would be) and with the continued great play of Ruben Souffront and the apparent emergence of Pat Rondeau and Bobby Erbakan, the Brewers find themselves entertaining visions of a championship (or two, or three?) in the next several years. The team has not yet been able to wrap up longer-term extensions for Souffront or shortstop Chad Brown (but will continue trying) but with Ryan Rodgers, Antonio Puente, Tanner Yurek, Steve Alonso, Diego Ramirez (looking good, so far), and Daniel Torres, along with Jamel McNeil and now Solis under contract at least through 1971, there is some degree of confidence that this group will stay together long enough and have enough talent to do some exciting things.
