Nice article by Melewski and nice to know that others see this in Schoop and not just "our guys".

Already an above average with the glove at 2nd, if he can improve his hitting, WAHOO, he will be a brighter spot on the diamond for this team.

Lemme guess.... Melewski.

The Orioles could also be headed for 133 wins.

Yes, Melewski is a homer, but how do you account, for Schoop being on DD's no-trade list, and other teams are asking for him?

This is another encouraging sign:

Schoop in 2014: .209 average, .244 OBP, .354 slugging, .598 OPS, 65 OPS+

Schoop in 2015: .279 average, .306 OBP, .482 slugging, .788 OPS, 110 OPS+

Its safe to say, that Schoop hasn't reached his potential, and looking forward to watching him grow.

Schoop has been pretty nice for us, despite an injury robbing him of some time.

Happy Birthday.

There are still some caution flags with Schoop, but I'm pretty bullish. Incremental improvements in plate discipline will have large effects on his performance.

I agree, but his plus level defense, makes any increase with offensive, gravy, at least, IMO.

He wasn't a plus on defense in 2015, however. Which Schoop is the real one?

I like to think 2015 was just a difficult season for most of the guys.

I don't think that is his norm, and I think a healthy Schoop is what we saw in 2014.

Hopefully the one with the healthy knee.

I do worry when a guy goes from not being plus glove in the minors to being a plus glove in the majors.

My bruh hit the ball hard.

When he hits it, which is not often.

He does, however catch and throw the ball fantastically. I think he's a much better defensive player than offensive player.

I ticked him off pretty badly last week on Twitter.

He actually suggested I stop commenting and reading his stuff.

Evidently he doesn't like to be reminded that he works for the team he "reports" on.

As for Schoop (can we get the title fixed?) he won't be a star unless he can control the strike zone better.

He has really great range for 2nd, and I love his glove work as part of the double play combinations.

Playing with plus defenders at 3rd, SS and 1st, has to help him, play at a higher level.

MODS, can we fix the title, please!!!!!!
