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

[A Swing and A Drive]

Dead serious, best news of the day? Erceg/Coca for Harvey turned out to be fake.

 

Personally would have much rarther done this deal.

[ThisIsMyCrew]

I’d assume Saladino is out?

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Don't forget that Schoop having an extra year of control means the Brewers will likely recoup a high pick if he bolts in 2020.

[MilwaukeeBeers]

With Carmona in this deal. I think this is beyond ***** stupid. Dozier was almost free and we do this. Stearns... WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?

 

Deep breaths, deep breaths.

This system lacks high ceiling talent. Carmona is just that. Call me crazy but I'm kind of sick of mediocre 40-45 FV depth guys.

[AJOHNSON104]

We can still get a starter in August to cover a few starts, if needed. Price for a trade today (Archer, etc.) seemed high, so move for another bat isn't terrible move.

[TURBO]

IF things work out and we can get Jimmy Nelson back...

 

That's a lot of false hope there buckaroo...

You giving him a $17M QO?

[TexasCheesehead]

Probably headed to Colorado Springs. Villar is off the 40-man now.

Another fun fact: Schoop did not draw a single walk in the month of July.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

All the off days could help with starting pitching in September. I'd bet they shut Peralta down some time in September as well. Davies should be back or they could skip some starts.

[danzig6767]

The upgrade on some combo of Miller, Villar and whoever is not worth the price to me.

 

Not even that

 

If Shaw were to play secondbase vs righthanders, Villar could play vs lefties. Granted, who knows about the health of Villar and if he'd continue hitting lefties well.

 

I'd like this trade better if we hadn't first traded for Moustakas and simply let Shaw be the thirdbaseman and Schoop play secondbase.

 

Now one of those three have to sit each day unless Arcia doesn't play and Schoop is a shortstop, with Shaw at second and Moustakas at third. Ugly infield defense if that's the case.

With Carmona in this deal. I think this is beyond ***** stupid. Dozier was almost free and we do this. Stearns... WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?

 

You are worried about losing a rookie ball shortstop prospect with an OPS of .700? LOL

You. Don't. Scout. The. Statline.

 

So you are worried about losing a guy who is 4 or 5 years away from the Majors? For getting a MVP caliber middle infielder with another year of control?

[homer]

With Carmona in this deal. I think this is beyond ***** stupid. Dozier was almost free and we do this. Stearns... WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?

 

I think Dozier is a FA after this year. Brewers get Schoop for 2019 as well.

Why do we need a controllable 2B when Hiura's bat should be ML ready in a years time? I'd argue that his bat is ready now. Glove still needs work.

 

because you can delay his service time. Can flip Schoop in the off season if you want and re-coop a Carmona type.

[Boomer5]

Another fun fact: Schoop did not draw a single walk in the month of July.

 

Stearns figured out the market inefficiency are low OBA hitters.

Time will tell if these moves will be good ones. Let's give it time to see if Moustakas, Soria, and Schoop put us over the top this year.

[TURBO]

At least Villar will see everyday playing time from now on. I still think he got screwed this year, but that is water under the bridge. Probably a good time to scoop him on the fantasy waiver wires...lol

Brewers are 28th in GB rate. Infielders don't get many chances.

[josh]

Another-nother fun fact: Schoop has hit dingers in six of his last seven games. Whoa.

[jonescm128]

With Carmona in this deal. I think this is beyond ***** stupid. Dozier was almost free and we do this. Stearns... WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?

Hate to break it to you, but that is exactly what Carmona is. A 45 FV depth guy.

[Ennder]

Don't forget that Schoop having an extra year of control means the Brewers will likely recoup a high pick if he bolts in 2020.

 

You giving him a $17M QO?

 

If he plays anywhere close to what he did in 2017 of course you are. He has been a 6.7 WAR player over the past 2.5 years. That is certainly worth a QO.

[tmwiese55]

Schoop can play SS at least a bit. I assume that was a key here, but I guess we're waiting to here an explanation for sure if our assumption on that being part of the plan is true.

[lcbj68c]

Schoop was 12th in MVP voting. I think that is saying something about the potential of a player who got for a year and a half. Team feels like an ACE short of a full deck though.

[StCroixCtyBrewer]

I don't know how it's gonna work but I know this lineup should be a ***** for opposing pitchers no matter who is on the mound

[TURBO]

I'd like this trade better if we hadn't first traded for Moustakas and simply let Shaw be the thirdbaseman and Schoop play secondbase.

 

This. Exactly this.
