What Can The Brewers Expect From Jackie Bradley Jr This Season?

  Many people wonder why the Milwaukee Brewers signed Jackie Bradley Jr and I will admit I was one of those people as well. I figured the Brewers were set in the outfield with veterans and young talent, but signing Bradley was interesting, to say the least. Let's look at what Bradley Jr will bring to the Milwaukee Brewers this coming season.

Based on his Major League averages were looking at around 120 hits, 18 home runs, and 70 RBI's for a season. His average of .239 will not wow you by any stretch of the imagination that's for sure. So what does Bradley Jr bring is it's just average numbers by MLB standards? It's simple he brings defense and a lot of it. With the outfielders, the Brewers got he will help cover even more ground in the outfield. Bradley Jr will be able to help you offensively, but he is a gold glove outfielder.

Milwaukee didn't sign Bradley Jr for his offense he was signed for his defense. The Brewers were probably thinking they didn't want what happened to them last year when they lost Lorenzo Cain to Covid. They are covering there bases by having an adequate supply of outfielders this season. Bradley is a great addition and the Brewers should be applauded for getting another great outfielder to add to the mix.

Milwaukee Brewers Following Same Basic Plan Like Last Season

Last season the Milwaukee Brewers made the playoffs which was something I did not think would happen. If you just look at the hitting stats you might wonder how they won ball games. The offense was horrible and probably one of the worst in the Major Leagues last season. The one thing about the Milwaukee Brewers is they are following the same plan as last season. Spend little sign a lot of guys and invite them to spring training. Now, this a system that we may see from the Brewers for a good amount of time in the future. With limited money available Milwaukee has to cut as many corners as possible.

This season Miller Park has a new name it is now called American Family Field which is a little different but I guess just like anything else we have to embrace change. 

This season should be interesting especially if we get to see 162 games. We will know much better if this approach to building a team will really work. In a shortened season you really do not know what your getting. By signing these guys that are looking for second chances you never know what you will get. Maybe you will hit on a couple. Manager Craig Counsell has done a great job for the Brewers and that should not change this season.

Not to much longer and we will get to see what the Brewers have as a team. I personally am looking forward to this season and see how it plays out. Hopefully, another playoff spot is ahead for us Brewers fans and a deep run in the playoffs. At this time of the year everyone is optimistic and so are Brewers fans.
