The question of who will be the Brewers starter on opening day was answered yesterday, with Wily Peralta getting the nod. Jimmy Nelson, Matt Garza, Taylor Jungmann, and finally Chase Anderson will follow Peralta in the rotation. If any of those starters go down, then Zach Davies will be the next man up for the Brewers from AAA Colorado Springs.
It does not look like Counsell has taken spring play into consideration for the opening day honor, as Peralta has the highest spring ERA among Brewers starters. Still, if Peralta can get back into his 2014 form and through the injury problems he had last year he can put together a strong campaign.
