Brewers Infield Struggles: Need Bat at Deadline

On May 1st, Milwaukee Brewer spans the left side of your infield is straight up struggling

this season.

Shorestop Joey Ortiz is bombing at the plate, sitting dead last and on base, plus slugging

among everyday hitters, just like last year.

Over at third base, newcomer Louis Rengafo has been the biggest letdown, turning into their

worst all-around player instead of stabilizing the spot.

Meanwhile, the right side looks solid, with Bryce Tureng pushing for an all-star nod, Gary

Sanchez and Jake Bauer's heating up, and Andrew Vaughan said too.

Return soon from Hamat's surgery, that weakness is hitting hard because top prospects jet

Williams and Cooper Pratt are slumping in AAA.

Pratt's starting to get on base more lately, but Williams might be the closer one to Big

League Ready between them.

Looking ahead, number one prospect Jess made, who's turning 19 this month, could shake

things up from double A, maybe by August if he keeps, rolling.

But any hiccups there might push him to next year.

Brewers need someone to step up now, or trade deadline pressure will crank up big time

to land an infield bat that can actually hit.

That's the story for today.
