There's no denying the Milwaukee Brewers have one of the best front offices in all of baseball. To build a perennial contender with the resources available to Matt Arnold and his team requires a rare skillset that differs from the one needed in most major league front offices. While always maintaining an eye on the sustained success that Arnold and his predecessor David Stearns have both preached throughout their tenures, building a successful small-market ballclub also requires executing opportunistic deals, a skill at which Arnold excels.
The unmatched expertise of Arnold and his team of talent evaluators has not only led to the Golden Age of Brewers baseball, with the team qualifying for the postseason in seven of the last eight seasons, but the front office's impressive foresight suggests that this period of sustained success is only just beginning.
