So an interesting Spring Training story is developing around the probable last spot on the 25-man roster for the Brewers when the 1966 season opens. It was thought this would likely belong to young outfielder, Tom O'Donnell. But O'Donnell went on the 10-day DL very early in Spring Training due to back spasms and continues to have back stiffness which is delaying his return to action. In the meantime, 37-year old RF'er Justin Schumann, who was signed to minor league contract as a FA in the offseason, has been impressive (granted, small sample size) and it is starting to look like he may earn a spot on the club coming out of camp. He would provide a very young starting outfield group some steady, veteran backup.
