Grade the Schoop Deal

[Aristotelian]

Brewers board is now talking about nontendering Schoop. If he keeps this up, we could get him back cheap while taking their prospects!

Schoop strikes me as a kid in a man’s body. I would not doubt it if he’s missing being around players that he knows.

I have always thought in spite of his success he doubted himself.  I guess it was the deal that sold some of his future value.  I hope he turns it around.

Oh man, unlikely but best thing I heard all day. Love me some Schoop!

If that's true the Dodgers shd try to sign him.

Well then, BrewersHangout is a bunch of morons. Schoop isn't a free agent until after next season so reaching that judgement all of 7 games into his Milwaukee career is absurd.  His June 2018 line was .144/.217/.299/.516, and the next month it was .360/.356/.700/1.056.  Second, if he has such a terrible 2019 season that they don't tender him a contract, then what does that say about the Orioles team that would take him back?

Ah, like this board hasn't jumped to conclusions after a handful of games before

Is he one of those players that something psychological could mess with his play? He seemed confused as to why he was traded. Wasn't Mclouth like that? When he was traded from Pittsburg it messed with his psyche?

0 BB's 12 SO's in 26 PA

I hope the O's are done with low OBP, low contact type hitters

Hilariously I thought about such a scenario the other day.  It's highly unlikely, I think, that would happen, unless Schoop absolutely craps the bed the rest of the way and/or Milwaukee misses the playoffs.  That would be an exceptional trick to pull off, but even if Schoop struggles the rest of the way I imagine someone will get him before we would.

Thankfully Monday morning QBs on message boards don't make the decisions. Shaw will shift back to 3B and Schoop will be their starting 2B in 2019. You write that down in ink. There's also no reason for the Orioles to even consider bringing back Schoop.

What if Shaw proves he can hold down 2nd base defensively?  Schoop as a SS over a course of a season is a stretch. Schoop is making $8.5 million this year. Players always get raises. He’s looking at $10+ million next year. Why keep him if you’re the Brewers?

The hope he looks like the 2017 or even 2016 version of Schoop if nothing else I guess.

Moustakas is on a one year deal, so there's no reason Shaw can't move back to 3B in 2019.

Of course Hiura will also be knocking on the door in spring training and they may be ready to bring him up as soon as May.

Or...they can trade him in the off season and get back the same if not more in a trade.
