The Brewers plans this off-season revolved around improving their defense. Signings of Kolton Wong and Jackie Bradley Jr provided proof of this. But it also prompted a change to first base from second base for Keston Hiura.
In theory this move was a win-win. Having Hiura play first base would reduce his odds of throwing errors while simultaneously keeping his bat in the lineup.
