I'll take 2 of 3. Interested to see the new Mikolas

Curious to see the Braun/Thames platoon this series. I can't imagine they go a strict righty/lefty platoon but maybe I'm overrated Braun and underrated Thames.

I can see Braun playing two out of three all season.

Braun's gonna play for Santana a handful of times and maybe Yelich a few.

Read on Twitter

Braun starting for Santana today. Him and Thames will be the most impacted. Until injuries work this out for them I expect they also get Braun in the lineup and give Yelich and Cain an off day every couple weeks too.

We're going to need the good Davies right away this year. He had a fairly terrible start to the year last season that we probably can't afford again.

I gotta stop reacting when things happen when I'm watching online at work.

Whens the last time a Brewers team had really good defense?

Garbage bloop hit leading to a run? Yup, that’s the Cardinals alright. New year, same ****.

jimmybones · Post #15 » by **jimmybones** » Mon Apr 2, 2018 7:00 pm

Yeah I’m thinking it will be a straight platoon at 1st with Braun also getting some starts vs righties in place of Santana. Basically Braun, Thames and Domingo rotating 3 spots. Extra starts for Domingo on the occasional rest days for Cain/Yelich.

And then a similar rotation at SS/2b with Arcia, Villar, Perez and Sogard rotation.

I love the depth and don’t feel as urgent about trading an OF anymore.
