The Denver Brewers third baseman
Jake DiCesare has established himself this year as a star player, both at the plate and in the field. Unfortunately, it also has become clear that the injury bug will be a problem for him.
His recent nagging injury isn't healing as well as hoped and his time on the IL will last a bit longer than originally anticipated.
The good news for the Brewers is that they have
Jose Figureroa, who is a good contact hitter and solid fielder at third, who can capably take over while
DiCesare is recovering. But make no mistake,
Figueroa does not bring the same level of value to the team as a healthy
Jake DiCesare can.
