Glad to see the Brewers were able to hang on to Peterson. He’s not a great player by any means, but like Jeff said he’s great for depth and if he hits well during ST he could easily end up as the 4th OFer for the Brewers.

No way Peterson makes the roster out of spring training. Preference will be given to guys they traded for (Broxton) and guys who are on 40 man but out of options (Liriano). Peterson’s more a depth option if Nieuwenhuis falls completely on his face, or the young guys don’t hit at all or there’s injuries. He’ll be parked in AAA.
Peterson is a LH bat and they don’t have many of those, but I suspect if they want to carry a LH pinch hitter, there will be better options than Peterson available when teams cut down their rosters.
