The Brewers have announced that they’ve designated infielder Luis Jimenez for assignment. They also activated center fielder Carlos Gomez (hamstring) from the 15-day disabled list.
The Brewers claimed the 27-year-old Jimenez from the Angels in October. He made the team out of Spring Training but played infrequently, making only two starts and hitting just 1-for-15. Jimenez played second and third base for Milwaukee, although he’s mostly been a third baseman in recent years. He hit .286/.321/.505 in 501 plate appearances for Triple-A Salt Lake in 2014, generally in line with his minor-league track record of hitting for good average and power but drawing few walks.
One thing is for sure, he is a big man.
This could be the start of many moves, the following players seem likely to be moved..k-Rod,Lohse,Garza,W Smith,Broxton,Lind..maybe Gomez..all for prospects in the emminently obviously needed rebuild
If thats the case, angels should deal for Gomez
Steve..To procure Gomez, it’ll take at least 2 high end prospects, and probably even more, the Brewers have him for one yr anyway, so it surely makes sense….by the way, excellent move dumping Hamilton!
The link goes to the wrong Luis Jimenez.
