3 position players who won't be on the Brewers' roster by the end of June

Athletes, politicians, and meteorologists. Perhaps the three most highly scrutinized jobs out there, with people constantly calling for those on their TV to be out of their respective positions. Of course, the irony here is that people trying to get others fired from their couch often cannot do that job at anywhere close to the same level.

While I do often hesitate to advocate for someone to lose their job, when it comes to sports, it is simply part of the business; if one player doesn't lose their role on a team, someone in the front office might. And unlike one notable Brewers official, if you believe that winning games is as important as a summer of entertainment and passion, then sometimes moves need to be made to put the best nine guys on the field at any point.

In some cases, a fresh start can benefit both sides. For others, maybe it is a return to Nashville to build some confidence or get crucial at-bats or innings on the mound if they aren't one of the everyday guys. Either way, there are currently a few Brewers who should not be on their big league roster by the end of June.

1. INF Andruw Monasterio

Andruw Monasterio continues to be one of the most confusing players in all of baseball. In 18 games this season, Monasterio is batting .160 with just four hits on the season. However, he has two things going for him: a shocking (given his batting average) .300 on-base percentage, and an ability to impact the game when he does come up with a hit. In fact, of his four hits this season, two have been RBI base knocks and one came with two outs.

Even still, despite Monasterio being a valuable defensive utility player, the offensive numbers are too difficult to justify, and despite the Brewers not having a clear replacement, Mona's current stint on the big league roster could be coming to a close.

Monasterio does still have minor league options, and could end up simply being sent down to Triple-A instead of being designated for assignment. However, with Blake Perkins, Brandon Woodruff, and Nestor Cortes all set to return from the 60-day IL around the mid-season mark, 40-man roster spots will need to be opened, and Mona's release unfortunately might come as a result.

2. OF Daz Cameron

When the Brewers selected Daz Cameron's contract in late April, there was plenty of excitement that the young outfielder would be joining the club that his father had played for over a decade ago. Part of that fanfare was due to Cameron's stellar stint with the Brewers Triple-A affiliate, the Nashville Sounds. In 11 games with the Sounds, Cameron hit for a .370 average and mashed six home runs.

Unfortunately for Cameron, that success hasn't translated to the big leagues. In 19 games with the Brewers, Cameron has registered 40 at-bats, with only eight hits to show, and just one home run. Much like Monasterio, consistent at-bats have been hard to come by. Unlike him, though, Cameron does not have any minor league options, and would need to be DFA'd and clear waivers if Milwaukee wanted to send him back down to Nashville.

As mentioned above, Perkins is working his way back from a fractured shin and will need a 40-man roster spot, while Garrett Mitchell, who is on the 15-day IL and won't require a 40-man roster spot to be opened, is set to return to the Brewers' outfield in the near future as well. In addition, Milwaukee could also look to promote Tyler Black or Bobby Dalbec to the big league roster, both of whom were previously first basemen but have been playing corner outfield in Triple-A.

3. 1B/OF Jake Bauers

Unlike the other two names on this list, Jake Bauers' departure from the roster wouldn't be due to poor play, but rather would be the result of a second June trade from the Brewers' front office. Last Friday, shortly after the Brewers traded Aaron Civale to the White Sox, Francys Romero, an MLB insider for beisbolfr.com, reported that the Brewers are open to moving Bauers ahead of next month's deadline.

A Bauers trade makes sense for both parties. Bauers is deserving of more playing time than he currently gets in Milwaukee while stuck behind everyday first baseman Rhys Hoskins, and could be a valuable left-handed power bat for any contender. Bauers has a strong glove at first base and the capability to man a corner outfield spot as well.

Meanwhile, the Brewers have an incentive to move Bauers as it would likely net a modest prospect return, while opening the door for one of their many Triple-A first basemen to join the big league roster. Currently, the Triple-A Nashville Sounds are rostering Black, Dalbec, Ernesto Martinez Jr., and now Andrew Vaughn, all of whom are best suited to play first base. In an effort to make room for one or more of those intriguing players on the major league roster, the Brewers could look to move Bauers in the near future.
