When Jean Segura suits up for the season opener Monday against Colorado, he will be the fifth different shortstop to start for the Brewers on opening day over the past five years. Segura, who was immediately added to the starting lineup after arriving in a trade from the Angels last August, will join a list that includes J.J. Hardy, Alcides Escobar, Yuniesky Betancourt and Alex Gonzalez.
The 23-year-old Segura shined during the spring, registering a glossy .367 batting average with eight extra-base hits, including three triples to rank tied for second-most in the Cactus League.
