After ending up in Milwaukee by trade, Brewers first-baseman Adam Lind says: "Hopefully I'm an answer"

MILWAUKEE (WITI) -- Who's on first? The Milwaukee Brewers have had too many to count over the past few years, but they hope a man who speaks softly will swing a big stick this season.

"I like the culture they try to promote with the team meetings we have each morning -- try to get to know each other session. That's definitely brand new to me. I enjoy that," Adam Lind said.

"Brewers Nation" will enjoy Adam Lind, whom the Brewers traded pitcher Marco Estrada to Toronto for after the 2014 season if he can begin to remind fans of former first baseman Prince Fielder.

For all intents and purposes, nobody has played first base since Fielder left for free agency. Lind knows he has big shoes to fill -- but he says he's not going to put pressure on himself. He'll just be who he is.

"I'm just going to be who I am. I've heard that question a lot about the first base situation. Hopefully I'm an answer. For a year or two. But my expectations are something that other people from outside the room put on you. I have my own expectations and I expect to play well," Lind said.

So who is Adam Lind?

When healthy, the 31-year-old has lower back issues he says are a part of him. He's a big time producer. In 2009, Lind hit .305 with 35 homers and 114 RBI as Toronto's designated hitter.

In four seasons he has played in at least 125 games, and Lind has hit no fewer than 23 homers and driven home at least 67 runs.

The former star at South Alabama hasn't hit lefties well, but he figures he can make the grade.

"I plan on it. I don't plan on going up there and struggling. I'd like to help this team win games," Lind said.

As for how he handles himself around the first base bag?

"I'm alright. I'm probably better than my reputation precedes me with. That's Major League baseball, right? People have their own opinions," Lind said.

Lind is a nice fellow -- humble, low-key, almost shy, but a certain outgoing pitcher helped bring him out a bit during an interview with FOX6 News -- Matt Garza.

"Yeah, we're trying to answer serious questions here," Lind said.

FOX6's Tom Pipines: "How about the robe? Will you talk about how awesome it is that you got everybody robes?"

"Ah, it's cool!" Garza said.

Few can match the gregarious Matt Garza -- but Adam Lind is an interesting fellow in his own way. As for his interests off the diamond?

"I like wine. I love, I've been to Napa a few times. I'd like to be on my own little Adam Lind business -- trying to make money -- the stock market," Lind said.

You can bet your bottom dollar on this: Adam Lind isn't a self-promoter. He doesn't brag about what he's accomplished during his career to date.

"I've had an okay career. I'd like to get 10 years. Then I feel like you're a legitimate success. I have a few years to go. I'm just riding the wave, man," Lind said.

Brewers Opening Day is set for next Monday, April 6th. The Brewers face the Colorado Rockies at Miller Park.
