Article: Should the Brewers Choose Garrett Mitchell or Sal Frelick as Their Opening Day Center Fielder?

In a way, the Brewers can't lose with either in CF.

Mitchell will, at worst, be a left-handed Keon Broxton, with his splits making his final numbers look much better than Broxton's. Beat case is a left-handed peak Carlos Gomez for the Crew.

Frelick, on the other hand. could be Scott Podsednik in the worst case, given his his tool and the performance to date in the minors and his speed. Best case... Ichiro-lite? 

Both valuable for the first three years, and possibly longer.

I don’t think it makes any difference since based on him saying he expects to begin the year at Nashville, my guess is the team has already told him that’s where he’ll be to start the year.

 

Yeah, he would not be leaving camp if he had any real chance to make the OD roster.
