Arcia brings heart, flash to first big league camp

PHOENIX -- There's no bigger fan of top Brewers prospect Orlando Arcia than the man who managed him last season at Double-A Biloxi, and Carlos Subero did not ponder long before excitedly recounting his favorite Arcia play.

It was in Venezuela's winter league on Halloween night, 2014. In the top of the ninth inning, with two outs, two runners on base, the tying run at the plate and Arcia's Caribes de Anzoategui trying to hold on for a win, the batter hit a bouncer up the middle. Arcia, the shortstop, crossed behind second base to field the baseball and spun as if he was going to throw to first base.
