The Brewers do run the bases aggressively, and that makes for an interesting battle. Andy Pages, who will start in center every day, has one of the best arms in baseball. Alex Call and Teoscar Hernandez are not far behind him. At the other end of the spectrum, Tommy Edman and Enrique Hernandez don’t throw well at all. Given how little the latter two bring to the table, I’d like to see Call get more playing time, as his defense -- he’s a fringy center fielder and good on the corners -- could have a lot of value in keeping the Brewers from running wild. No team scored from second on a single more than the Brewers did. No team was within 20 runs of them.
