24-year old righty swinging Ryan Braun will move to LF this season after playing horrible defense at 3B last season. Braun played in 112 games at 3B last season for the Brewers and he made 26 errors while showing awful range. The Brewers are hoping that Braun will at least be an average LF in the future on defense. Braun played in 113 games for the Brewers last season and he was 146 for 451 (.324 avg, 1.004 OPS) with 91 runs scored, 34 homers and 97 RBIs. Look for Braun to continue to blast away with the bat in 2008 as the sky is the limit for him.

Gabe Gross, Tony Gwynn Jr. and Gabe Kapler will back up Braun in LF but none of them will get much playing time there except as a possible defensive replacement late in games.
