"Those planning to attend the Milwaukee Brewers' fan festival Sunday at the Frontier Airlines Center can count on interacting with a variety of new faces.
For beginners, three-fourths of the starting infield is different from the squad that captured the 2011 National League Central Division crown. Veteran free agents Aramis Ramirez and Alex Gonzalez have replaced Casey McGehee and Yuniesky Betancourt at third base and shortstop, respectively.
Ramirez and Gonzalez will be introduced to fans during a question-and-answer session in which team owner Mark Attanasio and general manager Doug Melvin also will participate. That session begins at 12:15 p.m. on the main stage.
Ramirez, who signed a three-year, $36 million deal in December, will be counted on to make up some of the production lost when Prince Fielder left via free agency for Detroit. Ramirez batted .307 with 26 home runs and 93 runs batted in last season in 149 games with the Chicago Cubs."
