Brewers Shortstop(s)- the present, the future, the man
Like firstbase, the present and the future should all include one man for some time- Chad Brown. Brown is the anchor of the Brewer infield. He might never be a superstar, but Brown is a gifted defensive shortstop, a fine hitter, and increasingly a fanstastic base-runner and base-stealer. He won't draw a lot of walks or hit many homeruns, but he also rarely strikes out and he will consistently be among the team leaders in doubles and triples. With experience, he has also become one the finest base-stealers on the team, just behind Ruben Souffront.
Brown will likely win some gold gloves in the future and at just 23 years of age his best years should still be ahead of him. He is signed through 1972 but likely the team will prioritize getting him extended well beyond that in the next few years.
At this point there isn't a lot to talk about in terms of minor league prospects at this position, so we will leave it there.
