Opening Day Countdown: Kirk Nieuwenhuis #10
Rick Scuteri-USA TODAY SportsOkay now we really start the final countdown. Just 10 days until MLB's opening day!
On the same day in December the Brewers were awarded waiver claims on Josmil Pinto, Andy Wilkins, and Kirk Nieuwenhuis. Pinto has since been passed through waivers and retained at AAA. Wilkins with options remaining has also been sent to AAA. Only Kirk Nieuwenhuis remains a potential option to break camp with the major league team. In my opinion it's a foregone conclusion that he makes the cut. And utilized properly he could provide some nice value to the Brewers.
