Dutch player for the Brewers?

There are some good players from the Netherlands (Antiles) who play in the MLB. Four of them are still in the play-offs. Who do you want if they would be available.

I think I know who will finish last...

(I hope it's ok to add this thread here, since the off season started yesterday)

Profar is with Oakland
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

Bogaerts is by far the best player, so him. He's not available though. Gregorius would be a solid replacement for Arcia. None of the others would interest me or aren't available.

There's no point in a poll if one guy gets 100% of the votes.

The Netherlands are surprisingly good in many sports, for such a small country. Three times in the World cup final, Olympic champion in volleyball (1996) and even World champion in baseball (2011). There are not many European players in the MLB, I guess. Holland becomes European champion in baseball almost every time. It’s not a big sport in Europe at all.
Most of these Dutch guys are from the Antiles. Only Gregorius was born in Amsterdam. But it is still special a lot of them are important players on good teams.
With basketball it’s totally different. A big sport in Europe, many European players in the NBA, but the Netherlands are very bad. And always were. A Dutch player in the NBA is much more rare.
