Blake Perkins' recent injury is a tough blow for the Milwaukee Brewers, especially considering his impressive defensive skills and speed on the basepaths. With him sidelined for 3-4 weeks due to a shin fracture, the team is now looking to Manuel Margot to step up as the primary backup outfielder. This situation raises some interesting questions about the Brewers' depth and strategy moving forward.

How do you think the absence of Perkins will impact the Brewers' performance in the early part of the season? Will Margot be able to fill the gap effectively, or do you think the team should explore other options in the free agent market?

Additionally, Perkins' offensive contributions have been somewhat limited, with a batting average hovering around .240. Does this injury open the door for someone like Jackson Chourio to make a significant impact in right field?

Let’s not forget about the potential for Christian Yelich to see more time in left field. How do you feel about his transition back from back surgery? Is he ready to reclaim his spot as a key player for the Brewers, or should fans temper their expectations?

Lastly, with the Brewers' outfield depth being tested early in the season, what bold predictions can you make about their performance in April? Will they rise to the occasion, or could this be a stumbling block that sets the tone for the rest of the season?
