Milwaukee Brewers: Off-season decisions – 3rd Base

Mike Moustakas and Keston Hiura managed to save the Milwaukee Brewers in 2019. Moustakas was brought in to play second base, while Travis Shaw was expected to handle third base last year. Shaw ended up slashing .157/.281/.270 in 270 plate appearances with the Brewers. He also played 42 games at Triple-A in 2019. Moustakas took over the everyday third base job, and ended the year with a .251/.329/.516 slash line. Hiura was called up to take over second base, and did exactly that. The Milwaukee Brewers can pencil Hiura into the lineup at second base for the next seven years at least.
