Good utility ballplayers are hard to find in Major League Baseball these days. Apart from Ben Zobrist, there are very few players that teams can plug in all-around the diamond and be ok. In Elian Herrera however, the Brewers are finding out that they may have that type of player. While filling in for the injured, Aramis Ramirez, Herrera is looking to prove that he can be a poor-man’s Ben Zobrist.
After spending much of last season with the Brewers, Herrera began this season in AAA, but it didn’t take long for him to earn his promotion.
