Schoop and Machado

[VeveJones007]

I'm pretty sure I provided examples. Just because you don't agree with them doesn't mean they aren't legitimate.

Link? I don't see anything besides "a bad feeling" based on trades of middling prospects.

There's such a huge difference between trading a Lino and a Schoop that they aren't comparable. I just don't understand where this anxiety is coming from.

Like I've already said, the previous trades show he may not value our prospects as he should. I'm not up in arms about anything, just a little nervous bc he may be trying to prove himself too much too soon.

I've said it before, but I don't think anyone has issues with trading Lino, or really anyone Duquette has traded. The perception from those who have been opposed to those trades has generally been that the prospects could have been used more effectively as part of trades for more valuable assets.

He hasn't traded one of the five or six "legit" prospects in this system yet, but he's certainly established a track record of valuing minor leaguers lower than most fans who are familiar with said minor leaguers. Which is something he's certainly entitled to do, he's the GM after all. But if that track record holds true for the more highly regarded prospects, it's not entirely unreasonable to be worried that someone like Schoop will get traded for a return that many might see as too little. I don't think we have to worry about Bundy or Machado going anywhere, but I'm not sure about Schoop.

Another home run for Schoop tonight plus a double!

Great let's trade him for Greinke, so we can finish .500 and lose him to free agency at the end of the season!

Sorry for being snarky...tonight's game has thrown me back over the edge.

Pretty much this.

I'll take Duquette's judgment in his limited time here over a fan's judgment. Pure and simple.

This is certainly a subjective statement.

Exactly.

[Lucky Jim]

Exactly.

Yes. Suggesting that our GM "may" not value our prospects enough is truly going out on a limb. And we didn't have that deference for any other GM - why Duquette?

[waroriole]

This is certainly a subjective statement.

Exactly.

Of course it's subjective. Any opinion on the matter would have to be subjective.

Another home run for Schoop tonight plus a double!

Wow! J-Scope is on a tear! It is really nice to see him, along with Machado, Hoes, and Delmonico, as guys that are "legit" hitting prospects.

P.S. Yes, I have penned the first "J-Scope" reference. No one can use it without the express written consent of Major League Baseball.

I am hoping that includes you.

If Schoop can continue to produce at AA this season I would be willing to give him a chance to make the team out of ST. I am all for playing service time games for studs like Machado and Bundy but for a guy that projects more as a ML regular I don't think it is as important.

Of course what I think is going to happen is that Schoop will start the year in Norfolk while Roberts spends the first two months of the season proving without a doubt that he isn't a major league player anymore.

[Flacco Machado]

i am hoping that includes you.

On June 17, Schoop hit his 3rd home run of the year. He now has 6 doubles and 9 homers in Bowie's last 28 games (and I think he didn't play in one or two of those). His power has just exploded the last month or so.

[Flacco Machado]

When he gets to the majors, how often do you think announcers will mis-pronounce his name? Probably a lot, at first.
