Prospective BCB contributor Michael Marcus debuts today with a consideration of the Brewers' other options at first base.
Day four of spring training will be the first day of Ryan Braun's season, as he's expected to report to Maryvale and talk to the media (but not about Biogenesis) this morning.
The veteran infielder known affectionately (we think?) as Sea Bass turns 36 today.
We're asking if this Brewer team can win 80 games in our daily spring training chat.
You can almost certainly pencil Mat Gamel, Rickie Weeks, Aramis Ramirez and Jean Segura into the Opening Day starting lineup, with Alex Gonzalez on the bench. That leaves one infield spot available, so let's look at the five candidates to fill it.
Day three of spring training 2013 is Valentine's Day, but the Brewers aren't getting much love from the oddsmakers in Vegas. The first batch of 2013 over/unders from The Atlantis are out and the Brewers' betting line has been set at just 79.5 wins.
The Brewers have spent a lot of time over the last few months talking up their ability to win with a significantly decreased payroll and a significantly inexperienced starting rotation, but Vegas isn't buying it.
On this day in 1973 James Kenley Henderson (he went by Ken) was born in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The Brewers selected him 5th overall in the 1991 draft, passing up on guys like Manny Ramirez, Shawn Green and Aaron Sele. He didn't sign, and that's ok.
Brewer pitchers and catchers were required to report to spring training on Tuesday, but Jairo Asencio, Miguel De Los Santos, Alfredo Figaro, Ariel Pena and Jean Segura are all in the Dominican Republic waiting for permission to come to the US.
