I've been doing this countdown so long it's surreal now that there are only 5 days left until opening day!
When the Brewers acquired Jonathan Villar from David Stearns' old haunts we weren't really sure what his role would be with the team. He'd never really played third base, but that seemed the path of least resistance for him at the time. Since then Jean Segura was traded in a move that brought in several players including Aaron Hill. Third base was no longer an option, but shortstop was. And that's exactly where Villar will open the season.
