Milwaukee Brewers: Is Aguilar a lock at first base for 2019?

Related Topics: Milwaukee Brewers, Eric Thames

After a very strong first few months of the 2018, Jesus Aguilar took over the starting first base duties from Eric Thames and ended up representing the Milwaukee Brewers in the All-Star Game. This was the first time in Aguilar’s career where he received regular at-bats and he made the most of it. During the first half he hit .298 with an OBP of .373 along with 24 homers, and 70 RBIs.

The second half of 2018 tells a different story. During this time Aguilar hit .245 with an OBP of .324 along with 11 homers and 38 RBIs.
