Versatility lands Prince in big leagues


β€œWith β€˜Ramie’ out and uncertainly on [left fielder Ryan Braun, sidelined by a stiff neck], we needed somebody who could cover you both ways,” assistant general manager Gord Ash said.

Prince fit that bill. He was originally a shortstop but was moved last season to the Double-A Huntsville outfield. A scorching-hot Arizona Fall League (Prince batted .404 with 14 RBIs and 10 stolen bases in 25 games) earned him a spot on Milwaukee’s 40-man roster.

When he was optioned to Nashville in March, the Brewers talked to Prince about playing all over β€” second base, third base, shortstop and all three outfield positions.

β€œIt’s being in the right place at the right time,” Prince said of his unexpected promotion. β€œI’m a very religious guy, so I believe everything happens for a reason.”


In my opinion, we had enough SS/CF guys on the roster, so he probably would not be my first choice. Cut Yuni then, bring in someone to play first.

I guess the last guy named Prince did ok.

You are correct. He left Segura exposed. I'm still surprised that no one from Arizona has been hit with all the home runs the Pitchers have given up. Then again it's like batting practice pitching.

Can't remember a game where each team had bases loaded, no outs, and failed to score a run.

Weeks- your AB in the 8th bothered me most. 3-0 count and you fly out weekly. Didn't like your AB in the 11th, but you were called out on an obvious ball.

I don't know if Ax comes out for a second inning with a deeper bench. If Braun could hit and Jean stays in the game, I don't know if we see him.

Yuni needs to be cut. He hung Segura out to dry. I don't have a problem with Parra's play per se, but he should have taken a ball in the ear hole at some point.

Speaking of Parra, how often do you see a ball go over Gomez's head?
