But Jake can play RF, LF as well as pitch, :)

Watched Jake as a senior at Marina HS in Huntington Beach, CA. He had that great swing back then too and now it appears as if he has taken it to the next level and is a true up and comer. If he is not an every game player next year I will be disappointed. Best defensive 1B also. If not Brewer, he will be picked up probably for more than the predicted 2m arbitration.

You have to admit, yes Bauers ended with a .199 BA but he got the job done when needed. For most of the season, he was in the top 4 with RBI/AB. Nobody tracks that but when he got the chance at bat, he produced RBIs. Remember when he made a diving catch at 1B to prevent a walk off? A couple GS and a walk off hit. Then gave the Brewers a chance in that final playoff game by smashing that HR to right followed by Frelick. Then they threw him away.
