Ruben is performing quite well in the field and thus far is doing much better in the stolen base success rate department- he has swiped 3 bases and only been caught attempting to steal once.
The thought at this point is that Ruben will likely remain on the active Brewers roster all season but that this is the pivotal year in terms of his future in Brewers' purple. With the emergence of Pat Rondeau, who would be a very strong rightfield option (though without the power bat one would normally wish for) and the solid play of Zack Banks thus far in 1967, Ruben will need to prove he can play at the WPK level or the team might look to move him.
