Milwaukee Brewers first baseman and designated hitter Jake Bauers was acquired from the New York Yankees via trade this off-season.  His ability to provide power and be a home run threat is one major reason why he was brought in.  So far he has gotten off to a slow start offensively, but he has been flashing the leather at first base. Jake Bauers has played great defensively for the Milwaukee Brewers.  11 games into the 2024 season there is not much objective data to back up Bauer’s great playing at first base, but the eye test does tell you that…

The Milwaukee Brewers are approaching a unique franchise milestone in which the next new player to make an appearance for them will be their 1,000th player to play in a game for them.  Prior to Tuesday’s game against the Cincinnati Reds they selected the contract of pitcher Kevin Herget.  If he appears in a game for the Crew he will be the player to break that milestone. If/when he gets in a game, Kevin Herget would be the 1,000th player for the Brewers since the franchise moved to Milwaukee in 1970. So if you had Kevin Herget in the pool,…
