The Brewers appear "intent" on Frelick opening the season as the primary third baseman against right-handed pitching, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
What began this spring as something of an experiment has evidently evolved into a full-blown plan of installing Frelick as the regular at the hot corner. Frelick hadn't played an inning in the infield in pro ball or college but has proven to be a quick study at third base. He still figures to be used in the outfield a good amount, but sticking Frelick at third against righties thins out the team's crowded outfield situation.
