once Willy Adames Signing with the Giants officially ended his brewer term, the traditional concept is Joey Ortiz Because Ortiz was a shortstop who stood out during his time in Ortiz’s farm system. Indeed, Ortiz Brice Turang From cornerstone to shortstop.
Manager Pat Murphy stressed that this situation is still very changing, telling MLB.com’s Adam McCalvy and other reports that “We did not make the final decision. I didn’t make the final decision. I really believe in all this information, get all the information and listen to others. I’m dead, “Turang will be our second baseman and Ortiz can handle the short ones.” I still believe. But then we played with this new setup and I was like, “It might be better for everyone.” transparent
There is nothing to stop the experiment from continuing into the regular season, although McCalvy wrote that the team hopes to “put Turang and Ortiz in their positions as much as possible instead of walking around”. Milwaukee used 108 different defensive squads in the 2024 season, but the cornerstone of the transfer squad is Adames, at Shortppop in Turang, Turang at second base, William Contreras In the catcher, Ortiz had 124 starts at third base. Last year, Ortiz did make six appearances at second base, with a shortstop.
Turang was the second baseman’s Gold Glove last season, the champ of Platinum Gloves, and the public defensive metrics (+22 defensive score savings, +6 outs above average, +2.1 UZR/150) were all amazed at his work at the position. Ortiz also performed well in third base, posting +8 drs, +11 oaa and +5.0 uzr/150 in 1098 1/3 innings. In the context of success, the brewer will naturally risk shaking the boat on the already strong defensive consistency, even if there seems to be no doubt that Tulang or Ortiz will adapt well to the new position.
Murphy pointed out in an explanation of why Ortiz might be an ideal fit in second base,We asked our second baseman to do a lot. I mean, when you play the middle of the diamond in the way we play the second baseman for most right-handed batsmen, and the ground we ask them to cover is not much different from the short ones. The number of times you end up throwing the ball from the outfield to the base, the number of times you end up coaching the ball for the first and two-thirds, the number of times you end up touching the ball. ”
As for the third base Oliver Dunn The Cactus Alliance has performed very well and has been providing strong bids for the job. Dunn made his MLB debut last season and hit .221/.282/.316 in 104 sets, mainly a third baseman, until a back injury cut his season shortened in mid-June.
Dunn is a left-handed batsman, so Kaleb Durbin (Graduated from Yankees Devin Williams Trade is considered a top candidate to play at least a platoon role in the hot corner. But Durbin didn’t reach much this spring, without a choice of verdict Vinny Capra Keep tearing off the lid of the ball. CAPRA has an OPS in all careers in the Big League level 37 career PA, and his .271/.366/.384 career slash in the 984 A Plate appearance is inconspicuous, but respectable. Since Capra is a minor league choice, the brewer will have to sneak out to get him off to Triple-A, which may help him with the opportunity to work with the team if the decision is made to make Durbin make more seasoning for minors.
