Ask Brewers owner Mark Attanasio how in the world his team does it. Ask him how a team that plays in the majors’ smallest television market, that has not produced a top-five offensive team in the National League for more than a decade and annually keeps a payroll below major league average can win more games over the past seven years than every NL team but the Dodgers and Braves. Ask and Attanasio will begin with stability.
“One of the main common denominators is we have the same field staff and baseball ops staff,” Attanasio says. “Matt [Arnold] took over [as general manager] from David [Stearns], but David was advising for the balance of the year.
“There’s been absolute continuity. I think in any business stability is a good thing.”
