Should he continue to struggle early in the season, Ventura could turn to former Chicago Cubs and Cleveland Indians outfielder Kosuke Fukudome, who was signed to a one-year deal in February to provide some depth. Alejandro De Aza was the team's fourth outfielder last year. This year, he'll play center field and likely bat leadoff. In 7 |

Ramirez inked a three-year, $36 deal with the Brewers this past winter after spending the last eight-plus seasons with the division rival Chicago Cubs. Presumably Ramirez will assume Fielder's spot in the cleanup role, where he has batted for well more than half of his career plate appearances.
