While the Milwaukee Brewers reportedly try to sign another infielder, they already have their insurance policy in place in case they can’t come to a deal. The signing of Cory Spangenberg became official shortly after the new year, and as of now the former top-10 pick will come to camp in a little more than a month from now with a chance to win a spot as a utility player, or even the team’s starting second baseman.
The idea of heading into Spring Training with Spangenberg as one of the leading options to start the year at second base might be disappointing considering some of the other names that were on the free agent market, but there’s a solid chance he could still represent an improvement over what the Brewers saw at the position last year.
