Brewers shortstop Jean Segura minced no words when asked about his forced move out of the eighth hole and into the leadoff spot due to the hamstring injury that befell Carlos Gomez.
While he expressed sadness at the misfortune of his teammate, Segura added that he was certainly happy to rise in the batting order.
"This is the worst spot ever in baseball," he told MLB.com.
Segura earned the move-up. He has opened the season by compiling a .333/.379/.519 slash line with three extra-base hits.
