Jonathan Schoop

[anglotiger]

Well, with the Moustakas trade, unless Shaw is also dealt then I think it's safe to call talk on trading for Schoop dead...

[Warning Track Power]

Rosenthal reporting we're in talks for Schoop.

 

[jjgott]

Would be an upgrade of Perez/Villar?

[jonescm128]

where do you put him then?

Rosenthal reporting we're in talks for Schoop.

 

That's ... odd. I mean I love bats, but the team's move for Moose, and having Hiura in the pipeline, makes this perplexing.

[Warning Track Power]

Shaw would have to be on the move...

 

Only thing that makes sense except I hate it.

[B2k1121]

Hey, if you can't get pitching, just hit a bunch of dingers.

[PeaveyFury]

So strange....

[jjfanec]

This makes very little sense

[OnaBadger58]

I'm officially confused.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Schoop has played a little SS in the past.

 

Has Clancy replaced Counsell as the team's manager? LOL

[B-Train]

This makes very little sense

 

Shaw to shortstop.

[Brewcrewin07]

Saw a very random tweet earlier today about Moustakas and that he played SS in HS when he set the national HR record...so maybe Shaw-3B, Mous-SS Schoop-2B

[Patrick425]

I heard they just pulled off a blockbuster for Goldschmidt....Aguilar to catcher.

Schoop is RH. This is all about getting another bat vs LH pitching.

[Warning Track Power]

 

Why?

[B2k1121]

Schoop is RH. This is all about getting another bat vs LH pitching.

Yes, just came here to post this. As long as the price isn't too great for a platoon type player he would go a long way to balancing the lineup against lefties.

[SeaBass]

I don't know if I like this, you'd think Shaw would have to be on the move in such a deal and I'd rather keep him over Schoop. If they keep Shaw and get Schoop different story. Still a little confusing though.

[PDCBalla]

I give up on trying to understand what the Brewers are doing. I get that they missed out on pitching so they went after a bat but a second baseman is odd.

[lcbj68c]

I'll be pissed if Shaw goes. My DDC jersey will only be 3 weeks old. Geez

[Warning Track Power]

It's happening...

 

[MoreTrife]

3 guys for 2 positions. Mous, Shaw and Schoop. Rotate them as needed. I'm fine with it. Wish we'd gotten a pitcher too but this just makes us better.

[A Swing and A Drive]

I really see little need to sit Travis Shaw vs. LHP

[Warning Track Power]

Better be bringing Dylan Bundy with you Mr. Schoop.

On the surface, getting Schoop does seem odd. However, could it be a way to have a solid platoon partner for Shaw at 2B? And/or is it a way to upgrade from Villar/Perez? Can Schoop play SS? Just random thoughts as I try to understand the Brewers thought process.
