The Milwaukee Brewers have options. That's the good news.

The bad news is that right now, the left side of their infield isn't hitting. They need a solution.

And the options aren't so much ready-made for the big leagues. It's minor league depth that could be used in a trade.

In a new article on Monday, ESPN's David Schoenfield broke it all down. He pointed out why the Brewers need a third baseman or shortstop for the MLB roster. And he made a case for a couple possible options.

"The Brewers are in position to do pretty much what they want at the trade deadline, thanks to a deep farm system full of both position players and pitchers," Schoenfield writes. "Fischer was the Brewers' first-round pick last June out of Tennessee. They're playing him at third base in the minors, although he mostly played first for the Vols. Though his bat has potential, he has other infield prospects ahead of him, including Cooper Pratt (who just signed an eight-year, $50 million contract), Jesus Made (the preseason No. 3 overall prospect), Jett Williams and Luis Pena."

Schoenfield goes on to mention Jesus Made further, because if the Brewers don't want a solution outside the organization, maybe the solution is Made himself.

"The Brewers are getting little offense at either third or shortstop, although Made is hitting well in Double-A and could be rushed to the majors in the second half," Schoenfield writes.

Made won't turn 19 until May 8, but he already looks comfortable at Double-A. With Biloxi in 15 games, he has four doubles, three triples, two home runs, 11 RBI, seven steals in eight tries, a .333 average and a 1.020 OPS.

Shoot, Made might be ready before the second half if the Brewers decide to go that route.

It'll be exciting either way -- a strong prospect traded for an MLB contributor, or a phenom coming to the major leagues.
