Milwaukee Brewers: Adam Lind Bright Spot in Loss

Today’s opener did not go as planned for the Milwaukee Brewers. After an excellent spring, Kyle Lohse was pounded by a dangerous Colorado Rockies offense as the team fell in a 10-0 loss and Ryan Braun left the game with injury. While things were not positive, Adam Lind was a bright spot in the Brewers’ lineup all day long.

Since Prince Fielder left, the team has lacked a true answer at first base. After going through a grab bag of options in 2013 and settling with a woeful platoon of Mark Reynolds and Lyle Overbay last season, the Brewers were able to see today that they finally have a true option at first this season.

Lind not only excelled at the plate by going three for four, but he also shined defensively. On a smash hit down the line he was not only able to get the out at first, but make a great play at the plate to finish a 3-2 double play.

Many were not happy and laughed at the addition of Lind this winter, but he will truly be a big time addition this season. As a career .273 hitter with power, he is sure to be a force in the middle of a lineup full of all-star power. With a powerful left handed bat, Lind will be looked upon as a big time run producer all season long.
