Milwaukee Brewers have recently decided to degrade the third base Oliver Dunn to Triple-a Nashville. After making the list of opening day, Dunn provided Milwaukee with great defense in the balmy corner, in which the team is a huge pride. Unfortunately, he did not provide much on the road to offensive production.
In 14 matches this season Dunn hits .167/.205/.222 with six RBI. As a left -handed Hitter, he received most of the starts, which he shared the right hit of Vinny Capra. Capra does not produce frustratingly either. In 13 matches this season, he hits the pathetic 0.097/.125/.194 with the run at home and three RBI.
But of them Dunn is the only one with the other league options. When/if Milwaukee decides that Capra does not cut him well enough to stay in the league, they will have to set him to the task.
Milwaukee Brewers called Caleb Durbin
At the beginning of the season, MLB Brewers exchanged a two -time star closer to Devin Williams on New York Yankees for the left -handed initial brootor Nestor Cortes and Infield perspective Caleb durbin.
While Cortes was part of Milwaukee’s initial rotation this season, he was not the main player who were interested in breweries. Like Williams, he is in the last year of arbitration and at the end of the season he will be a free agent.
It was Durbin that the brewers Really Interested and easily understand why. In five smaller league seasons he drew 137 walks. What makes this number impressive is that it has broken 116 times.
Before trading to Milwaukee, Durbin played in Arizona Fall League and set a one season record for stolen bases from the 29th league has a season of 24 matches.
In other words, Durbin gets to the base and when there is a threat to steal. This is just a kind of player who is loved by the Pat Murphy manager.
Pat Murphy says Caleb Durbin will be the daily third base for Milwaukee Brewers
After one of the last players again attributed to the Minor League camp during spring training, Durbin was sent to Nashville Sounds. In 13 matches this season he hit .278/.316/.482 with two races at home, three RBI and three stolen bases.
Of course, this is a much better production than Dunn or Capra were able to provide. In addition, because Durbin is a switch, Murphy does not have to worry about a platoon.
On Todd Rosiak Z Milwaukee Journal SentinelDurbin, which debuts in the main league on Friday evening against athletics, will get most of the time in the third base:

We hope that a quick durbin can provide a spark in the Milwaukee attack. The breweries were worried about the quality of the defense he could provide in the third base, but they were satisfied with what they saw from him in this area in Nashville.
And now he has a chance to prove himself.
