What to expect from Ben Gamel

Without a minor league option, with a volatile level of major league performance, with a lack of defensive proficiency, and without a corner outfield position to play consistently, David Stearns made a deal with Jerry Dipoto to send Domingo Santana to the Seattle Mariners. One of the pieces coming back might be best known by Brewers fans as the little brother of former Brewer, Mat Gamel. Ben Gamel is a versatile, left-handed hitting outfielder that has shown promise, but projects as a fourth outfielder with Milwaukee. Yet he might be a better fit for the Brew Crew than Santana, at least in terms of 2019 roster construction.
