Here's a breakdown of the Brewers' situation:
Club needs
Third base: Jonathan Villar is an option to man third base every day, Stearns said, but the Brewers remain open to other long-term alternatives. If they stay in-house, options besides Villar are scant. Shortstop prospect Yadiel Rivera is one, though there are questions about whether any of those players will hit enough to be viable at the position.
Center field: After giving Shane Peterson a look in the wake of trades that cost the Brewers center fielders Carlos Gomez and Gerardo Parra, Milwaukee auditioned Domingo Santana down the stretch.
