A few weeks ago, Brewers catcher Jonathan Lucroy came to a realization. He could remain miserable about the prospect of playing for a team in the throes of a rebuilding effort, or he could make the most of it.
Lucroy chose the latter. He reported to camp this week along with the rest of the team's pitchers and catchers having undergone a sincere change of heart.
"One of the first things that happened here is I met Jacob Nottingham, the kid we just traded for," said Lucroy, referring to the catching prospect acquired from the A's only days earlier.
