Mackus, I am making a joke about Machado and Schoop being upset after Manny was traded.
I never said it was a good one.

I hope Villar can recapture 2016, but then I hoped the same thing about Davis and Tillman.
That would be great if he could recapture his form of 2016.
Hopefully, his fall wont be as hard and as swift as Davis and Tillman.

I can't figure out why the Brewers traded for Schoop, when he doesn't offer much more than Villar was giving them. JS has 2 seasons where he put up much better power numbers. But he doesn't appear to be a defensive upgrade over JV. If anything, JV looks like the better defender. Milwaukee is essentially paying $6M more for a the possibility of a few more RBI
Good news! I saw a dog today.

I didn't realize that Schoop was struggling so bad. Yikes.

Schoop offers a ton more than Villar was giving the Brewers. Defense is comparable, various scouts/analysts would consider one to be slightly better than the other, it depends on what metric you like to look at and what skills you look for. Schoop has had the much better bat recently even including his awful start to '18. Villar has an 80 OPS+ since the start of '17, Schoop is at 107 (including Schoop's inept month post-trade and Villar's good month). That is a substantial upgrade offensively, and that's why Milwaukee was paying for. If you go back and look at the last 3 years, then Villar's great '16 comes into play, but Schoop still comes out substantially ahead in OPS+ 104 to 97. And Milwaukee obviously was no longer considering Villar's great '16, since they were so eager to dump him.I can't figure out why the Brewers traded for Schoop, when he doesn't offer much more than Villar was giving them.

Schoop should have been dealt in the offseason. They didn't learn from the Manny situation.

Be pretty funny if Schoop did clear waivers and there isn't even any interest in him.

I'd put a waiver claim in on Schoop!

Brewers are already having buyers remorse. Reported that they might non tender or trade him. Schoops value is dropping like a rock.

Link?
Don't have a link but Thorne said on the broadcast the other day that Brewers were looking to "flip him".

Check out the comments at the bottom of the article. Brewer fans think they got swindled in this deal. Really funny. A lot of folks on this side thought we got robbed.
It is fumy to hear both sides of a trade.

No one thought we got robbed. That said value wasnt maximized and thats evident in the significant lowering of our asking price in the last day or two. DD slashed salary and sold low. And we got nothing back in this deal as far as prospects go. Carmona is a lottery ticket. Ortiz is a fat AAAA starter

Maybe we can claim Schoop off of waivers and hope for that big haul next year.

LOL!!! There sure was a lot of pissing and moaning on the Schoop deal. There were some who said we got virtually nothing back of value. Which is what you just said. Ok, you didn't say robbed. But whats the difference between robbed and getting no value back??

Ortiz is a fat AAAA starter
He's only made 3 starts at AAA. Lets see what he does before burying him. Not sure who you got your scouting report from, but I'm skeptical that his velocity is a concern (different than saying it wasn't down that night your guy saw him pitch). I've read as much as I can find about him and nothing I've seen suggests he was dropping in velocity before the trade and its been fine in the past. Not overwhelming, but being able to maintain velocity deep into games (perhaps due to his large frame) has been noted as a plus for him.
