Coming into Brewers camp this spring, it was expected there would be a battle for the starting shortstop job between the incumbent Orlando Arcia and the challenger Luis Urias.
Instead, Craig Counsell said from the outset of camp that he wouldn’t characterize it as a “battle” for the shortstop job. He said the Brewers needed to see Urias at short while Arcia would bounce around the diamond, playing a lot of third base and potentially some outfield.
