And the Brewers shortstop is…?

(LEARFIELD) – Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy has decided who will start at shortstop this season.

The departure of Willy Adames leaves a gaping hole in the lineup.

Murphy says Joey Ortiz will be the starter after playing third base last season.

Brice Turang had put in some innings at the important position but he will remain at second where he won a Gold Glove award.

Turang is sitting out some action right now with shoulder fatigue but he should be ready for Opening Day.

Turang said that he’s going to rest his arm some.

He said that the Brewers were prepared to make him the starting shortstop.

But does he want to play shortstop?
