GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The final days of Spring Training highlighted one of the chief early-season challenges facing Brewers manager Craig Counsell: keeping everybody happy.
The Brewers packed up Maryvale Baseball Park on Sunday just as they arrived, flush with outfielders and first basemen. Some call it a logjam. Some call it depth. Barring some type of subtraction, Counsell will have to find ways to spread at-bats around to keep hitters sharp.
"It's not a problem," he said.
The Brewers put themselves in this position with the January acquisitions of Lorenzo Cain and Christian Yelich, which meant Ryan Braun will see action at first base, where the Brewers already had Eric Thames and Jesus Aguilar.
