24-year old righty swinging Carlos Gomez came over in a trade over the winter from the Twins and he will likely be the starting CF in 2010 for the Brewers. Gomez played in 137 games for the Twins last season and he was 72 of 315 (.229 avg, .623 OPS) with 51 runs scored, 3 homers, 38 RBIs and 14 stolen bases. Gomez has speed to burn and if he can just be a .250 hitter in 2010 he will be a huge asset to the Brewers. Gomez only made 1 error in 132 games in CF last season and he showed outstanding range. He also had 3 assists from CF so he has a decent arm.

32-year old lefty swinging Jody Gerut played 19 games in CF for the Brewers last season and he only made 1 error but he showed poor range there. He is not a natural CF.

39-year old lefty swinging Jim Edmonds is going to try to win a job this spring for the Brewers. He sat out the 2009 season because no one wanted to sign him. Edmonds played in 111 games in 2008 for the Padres and Cubs in which he was 80 of 340 (.235 avg, .822 OPS) with 53 runs scored, 20 homers and 55 RBIs. Edmonds has a career batting average of .284 with a .905 OPS in 1,925 career games so the upside is there is Edmonds still has it.

PROJECTED GRADE FOR THE 2010 SEASON: D+
