Koskie's Concussion

Corey Koskie will miss spring training due to the concussion he suffered last year:

After weeks of uncertainty, the Milwaukee Brewers now know that third baseman Corey Koskie will not be physically ready to take part in spring training when position players are scheduled to report Friday.

Because Koskie has not completely recovered from the post-concussion syndrome that sidelined him for the entire second half of last season, assistant general manager Gord Ash said the Brewers had no choice but to "aggressively plan" for other options at third base.

"The good news is that he continues to improve," Ash said. "The troubling news is he hasn't improved enough to get on the field yet."

Ash said the Brewers might decide to platoon left-handed-hitting Craig Counsell and right-handed-hitting Tony Graffanino at third base until Koskie is ready to return to duty. But club officials also are interested in seeing if minor-league prospect Ryan Braun looks ready to jump to the big leagues after only a half-season as high as the Class AA level.

Braun tore up the low minors, and his addition would give the Brewers a very young infield.

Very unlikely Braun starts the year in MIL. Very.
