The only way he could improve his stock is by becoming a top ten pick, and he's just not that kind of player. Or by becoming a 1st or 2nd rounder? It's not like this guy was taken 34th, he was picked 101 overall! By definition, he would improve his stock if he moved up at all, and in terms of the payslots, every little bit helps. In terms of cash received, he's potentially talking the difference between like 200,000 and 1-3 million dollars. As I said before, they've got leverage. As in, Lucroy will likely get more than the 7 player taken in the 3rd round would normally get. With no second rounder, the Brewers have extra cash to play with, so they should be able to get some deals done.
