The Brewers finish the 1970 Spring Training Exhibition Season with the best record in the MGL, tied for the best record in the SJL with Jacksonville.
I wish this was the sort of thing I could simply dismiss as irrelevant (which it is.) But unfortunately I harbor a bit of a superstition when it comes to pre-season win-loss records. My superstition is this: I irrationally believe that a very good pre-season record will inevitably be followed by a bad start to the regular season, and maybe just a bad regular season completely.
I hope this is completely irrational (and I assure myself it has to be.) Unfortunately, the recent development reports provided by our scouting department didn't make me feel any better as there was not a great deal of good news and certainly some concerning news.
