Brandon Boggs - OF - Braves

Brandon Boggs rapped four of Milwaukee's 25 hits against the Reds on Monday, driving in four runs and scoring twice.

One of his hits was a solo home run off of Homer Bailey. Boggs has just 24 major league at-bats since the end of the 2008 season, so a huge spring will be key if he wants to earn one of the Brewers' final bench spots. So far, he's hitting .318 with seven RBI through 22 at-bats.

Brewers assistant GM Gord Ash said Brandon Boggs isn't guaranteed a roster spot even though he was given a major league contract.

"He'll compete in the spring for the last outfield spot," said Ash. "If he doesn't make it, he could be Triple-A depth and insurance." Boggs doesn't have options left, so he'd have to clear waivers in order to be optioned to Triple-A. He batted .290/.406/.470 at Triple-A Oklahoma City in 2010 but managed just one hit in 24 at-bats the last two seasons with the Rangers.
