Brewers to give Gonzalez work at first base
Alex Gonzalez - SS - Milwaukee Brewers
Feb. 9, 2013 - 5:45 PM ET

Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said Saturday that he wants Alex Gonzalez to get some work in a first base, potentially serving as the backup to Mat Gamel there until Corey Hart is ready to return from the DL.

In his 14-year career, Gonzalez has played exclusively at shortstop, but could be able to make the transition defensively. It would also be a way to get his powerful bat in the lineup more often, especially against tough left-handers.
