We're just a few days away from actual baseball games being played, and the Milwaukee Brewers are starting to set up their pitching assignments for the first couple games.
According to Tom Haudricourt, Hiram Burgos will get the first start of the Brewers' exhibition schedule, taking the ball for Friday's exhibition against UW-Milwaukee.

Burgos, Jorge Lopez and Wily Peralta are on rosters for the World Baseball Classic, so they're working on an accelerated schedule compared to their fellow starting pitchers.
