Catcher Jonathan Lucroy said that while http://www.broncosauthenticofficial.com/brian-dawkins-jersey_c-548.html he had heard ''rumblings'' for a while about the move, he was happy for Melvin, who drafted him in the third round in 2007.
''I know he's been doing this a long time and the game's only getting more and more complicated in terms of analytics. I know that Doug's an old-school guy,'' Lucroy said before Tuesday's game.
''He goes on gut feeling and stuff like that a lot. I think he was (kind of) ready to start doing something different.''
Melvin joined the Brewers on Sept. 26, 2002 as the eighth general manager in the team's history. A team starving for success won the NL wild card in 2008 and the NL Central in 2011.
