Is Mat Gamel being promoted by the Brewers. I'm guessing it is only to DH this week since they really have no other place to play him.

I have a shot at him, Willy-Mo and Presley tonight. Looking more to next year than this...... suggestions?"Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."

While I have no inside knowledge, I doubt he gets any significant action at 3B. Maybe He gets an inning or two in a blow out (either way). I suspect he will either DH or spell Prince at 1B for a start or two. BUT I believe he will mostly DH. If he does well, I could see them keeping him up and releasing Kotsay or Counsell, now that they seem to like Josh Wilson who now fits the “versatile (yet, not good) IF” role. I am not sure what more he has to prove in AAA. If he is going to replace Prince, I think he needs to see some significant MLB ABs and get some experience at 1B.I know in my heart that man is good. That what is right will always eventually triumph and there is purpose and worth to each and every life.

I'd be shocked if he plays 3B. McGehee's been really bad, but really bad would be exceptionally good for Gamel at 3B. I like the idea of spotting him for DH or 1B during AL interleague games, but with the Brewers in first place, I'd be shocked if Gamel would get any significant PT until September, and then only if the Brewers have a playoff spot pretty secure or hopelessly lost. Fielder's a short-timer, but he's also carrying a 1.0ish OPS. I'd send Gamel back down for no other reason than to make sure he gets many, many defensive reps at 1B in AAA ball.I'm just here for the baseball.

I admit I was wrong about Gamel only playing DH or1B to spell Prince. He has already started in LF and a couple of games at 3B for a struggling Casey McGehee. Gamel certainly hasn't hurt in those positions as he hasn't had an error...yet! But his Offense isn't helping either. Oh well.I know in my heart that man is good.
