A third player to be brought up at the start of September is 28-year old outfielder Andy Wing. Wing, who was picked up in trade earlier in the season, is basically considered a AAAA player and is not a part of the Brewer's future plans. But given the continued struggles of rightfielder Ruben Souffront, and with Wing's exceptional defensive abilities and his reputation as a real sparkplug on the field and in the clubhouse, it was felt that he could be valuable heading down the stretch of a disappointing and bitter season. Likely Wing will be trade bait in the off-season.
