Keon Broxton bats leadoff in Brewers' win
by Brad Richter | Sun, May 28th 7:01pm EDT
Keon Broxton was moved into the leadoff spot for the Brewers' matchup with the Diamondbacks on Sunday. He went 1-for-4 with a triple, walk and two runs in the 9-5 victory.
Fantasy Impact:
Broxton's move the leadoff spot may continue at least for the short term with Jonathan Villar dropped down to seventh in the order on Sunday. Brewers' manager Craig Consell hinted that a new leadoff man could take over for the struggling Villar. Broxton has the speed to bat leadoff but with only a .321 OBP and high strikeout rate he may not be the long-term answer either. Broxton owners should at least enjoy the short term value increase of a few extra at-bats and the potential increase in runs with the move to the leadoff spot.
