## Resource

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reporter Todd Rosiak, now embedded in Phoenix with the start of spring training, and host JR Radcliffe discuss the early story lines in Brewers camp, including the clarifying picture at third base and catcher, Brandon Woodruff's immediate outlook and how the crowded starting rotation might look. It's been a relatively quiet start to camp, and that's a good thing given the lack of injury news. Who benefits when the World Baseball Classic starts? Who's next in line at third base if Luis Rengifo is indeed the starter? What's the best giveaway on the Brewers promotional calendar? And most importantly, do we have a Hank The Ballpark Pup sequel in our midst? And it's a cat?
