The Brewers want to see how Lind fares against left-handed pitching this spring, mlb.com's Adam McCalvy reports.

Analysis:

It was generally assumed that the Brewers traded for Lind with a platoon in mind, and this doesn't really change the expectation. The team may see if there are any tweaks they can make, but it's hard to argue with Lind's hideous track record against southpaws. The 31-year-old produced excellent rate numbers in 2013 and 2014, but between injuries and his inability to hit lefties, Lind doesn't have a high ceiling for plate appearances.
