5 early unsung heroes in the NL Central
MILWAUKEE -- "A sense of humor and a good bullpen." That's how Whitey Herzog once described the keys to being a good Major League manager.
It helps to have a Brent Suter or two at your disposal, too.
Suter has been one of the Brewers' unsung heroes over the past three seasons, bouncing between Triple-A and the Majors, and the bullpen and the starting rotation. Like the day last June in St. Louis, when pitching prospect Brandon Woodruff injured his hamstring warming up for Game 1 of a doubleheader and Suter started on five minutes' notice. He pitched into the fifth inning, and while Milwaukee lost that game, Suter helped preserve the pitching staff so they could win the nightcap.
