With the recent trade sending J.J. Hardy to the Twins for the young unproven CF Carlos Gomez begs the
question, are the Brewers going to be a team that is built around speed and small ball? Excluding the catcher and Fielder it seems every position player will
be able to snag 15 plus bases. Just for argument sake I am penciling in Gamel instead of McGehee at 3B. Leading the team in steals would be Escobar and Gomez
which can easily have 30-40 SB if they were everyday players. Hart and Weeks probably would get 20 SB each assuming they both come off injury ridden seasons
and Melvin forces Macha to forget his Oakland days. The reasons I put Gamel over McGehee in the lineup is because he has a more potential and is an asset due
to his power combined with his ability to steal 15 bases. Braun falls into the same category of a player with similar power and speed. Not that I would ever
dream of losing Fielder but would this be a way to cut cost while still having competitive team with a sustainable salary?
