Brewers Thirdbasemen- the one I forgot
I realized earlier today that I left out our other current defensive specialist backup- Oscar Vargas.
Vargas is an elite level fielder who is considered a mediocre hitter at best. As it turned out, he got off to a great start with the bat in 1969 although he did cool off considerably in the second half. Still, his OBP was quite respectable and with his above average gap power he produced 8 doubles in just 83 plate appearances. Vargas also has a bit of HR pop which he has displayed somewhat in the minors though he has yet to hit one out at the big league level. Regardless of his offense though, Vargas is mainly on the team for his late innings defensive prowess. And there are few better.
