The Brewers are considering moving Ryan Braun to first base
Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said Thursday that he has spoken to general
manager Doug Melvin about the possibility of Ryan Braun moving to first base”
“I think he’s a good defender in the outfield, learning a new position that
he picked up pretty fast. I think he’ll continue to get better in right. We
haven’t approached (Braun) about it. It’s just kind of what the needs are.
We have (Gerardo) Parra here now and we need to figure out what to do with
him for next year.”
The talks aren’t serious yet, but the fact is that the Brewers have four
outfielders — Khris Davis, Carlos Gomez, Gerardo Parra and Braun — and
three of them are better than Braun. And, of course, Mark Reynolds is not a
long-term solution at first base.
Braun, of course, would need to bounce back on offense in order to be worth
his contract at first base. He has hit a poor-for-him .269/.323/.457 this
year, with 19 homers and 81 RBI. That won’t cut it long-term in an outfield
corner for a guy who makes what he makes, and certainly won’t play
efficiently at first base.
Braun battled a serious hand injury all year. Milwaukee had better hope that
was the problem. And not something else. Like, say, a big falloff by virtue
of playing clean.

Braun本季OPS+只有114 生涯最低 酒鬼正在考慮讓他去守1B的可能性
陣中其他外野手還有Khris Davis、Carlos Gomez、Gerardo Parra
然後Mark Reynolds看來不會是1B的長期解答
之前有許多強打C轉1B 現在連砲手OF也要提早轉了嗎XD
