Left field tabbed for Kapler coupling?
December 21, 2007
So the Brewers signed Gabe Kapler to a non-guaranteed contract for $800,000.
He’s 32, and he’s already been out of baseball twice. The first time was after the 2004 season, when he went to play in Japan. He was eventually waived.
Then, instead of playing last season, he was managing in the Red Sox farm system … which is exactly what I’d do if I were waiting for anabolic steroids to clear my system.
Now he’s back, and he’s a little less than what Brewers fans were hoping for. If nothing else happens between now and April, it seems logical that he’ll platoon with Gabe Gross in left.
