Brewers trade for Schoop; give up Luis Ortiz, Jean Carmona, and Jonathan Villar

[And That]

 

[markedman5]

This will be interesting

[MadThinker88]

Schoop to play some more SS??

[ecjimg]

Can he play shortstop??

 

Edit: To answer my own question, Yes (at least somewhat) Two games there this year, five last year.

[A Swing and A Drive]

This makes perfect sense.

Roster logjam 2.0, lol.

[MrTPlush]

Is this a move for future seasons when Shaw goes back to 3B maybe???

[bill hAll Star]

Everyone welcome the DH to the NL (only to one team).

 

It's pretty clear that reverse engineering this, Stearns likes to have 2 good hitters off the bench at all times given all of the bullpenning the Brewers do.

 

Shaw/Mous/Schoop platooning at 2B, Shaw/Mous at 3B. In any game you'll have at least 2 very bats (like some of them All Stars) off the bench.

Need to see the price

Exactly and I love it!

Can he play shortstop??

He's played a couple games in his career at short. He's basically been locked in at 2nd his entire career.

[KeithStone53151]

Guys on the O's board say that Schoop can play 3b and 2b and possibly SS. Maybe he takes over the Perez role but playing far more often?

[ewitkows]

Villar DFA'd? Arcia back to AAA?

He's played a couple games in his career at short. He's basically been locked in at 2nd his entire career.

 

But played SS a bunch in the minors.

How many years left on his contract?

[Fear The Chorizo]

wouldn't shock me to see Villar part of the trade headed to the Orioles

[tmwiese55]

Someone here looked him up and said he played SS coming up? So 2B vs lefties and a few games at SS each week. Plus when Arcia comes in for D substituting he can go over to 2B. IDK, this will be interesting

[WinkelsasVsSoriano]

Is he a rental? Or how long is he signed for?

[Warning Track Power]

Luis Ortiz in it

Source confirms Brewers trade for Jonathan Schoop. Luis Ortiz (Brewers No. 7 prospect per @MLBPipeline) is part of the return to Baltimore.

I'm hoping his walk up song is Shoop

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Did not see this one coming. Guess the plan is just to hope our starters get through 5, hand it to the awesome pen, and hope we smash other teams into oblivion. Should make things fun from here on out.

I believe Schoop isn't a FA until 2020, so one more season of control

[TexasCheesehead]

Why not just put Schoop at shortstop? He played over 200 games there in the minor leagues, he knows how to field it. Then you have Moose-Shaw-Schoop in almost every day and the offensive black hole that is Arcia isn't a problem anymore

He has one more year of arbitration and then free agent in 2020. Makes $8.5M this year.
