Better Know a Prospect: Brewers

Wondering which young players could have an impact in the majors this year? Let MLB FanHouse guide the way in Better Know a Prospect. In this edition we look at three players from the Milwaukee system, which always seems to have major league-ready talent on the doorstep.

Mat Gamel, 3B/OF/Wherever:
If you remember Ryan Braun's rookie year, you remember Braun arriving on the scene, destroying the baseball, and becoming the first regular third baseman since the Cretaceous Period to have a fielding percentage worse than .900. It's time to do that all over again. Gamel destroyed the ball in Double-A last year (19 homers, .326/.395/.537), but made 30 errors in 126 games. With Bill Hall's bat abandoning him, Gamel could probably start the season at third base in Milwaukee, but the concerns over his defense might keep that from happening. Unless Hall turns things around dramatically, though, the Brewers are eventually going to have to look past him, especially if Gamel keeps hitting in the minors.
