LDF Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 13, 2016 -> 12:45 AM) Brewers and Reds will have a hell of a competition this year. Kris Davis was one player i was hoping the sox to acquire via trade, if the sox had the 2nd tier players to pull it off. i know, i am dreaming.

iWiN4PreP Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 The players the Brewers got are decent. It's a reasonable trade for both sides. Shame the Sox didn't get in, but Davis isn't a great piece IMO. Great power, but lousy .avg and nothing special defensively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iWiN4PreP Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2016/02/athl...sean-nolin.html "Davis is not very highly regarded with the glove, though defensive metrics have been mixed. He actually rated as a plus performer in left in 2014, but dipped into the negative territory last year." "Looking at the Milwaukee side of the deal, the 20-year-old Nottingham looks like the jewel. He went to Oakland from the Astros — then the home of current Brewers GM David Stearns — as the key piece of last summer’s Scott Kazmir deal. He’s still a ways off, having only reached the High-A level, but does represent a theoretical long-term replacement for star catcher Jonathan Lucroy — who has, of course, been mentioned as a trade candidate quite often this winter."

BlackSox13 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I like this trade alot for Milwaukee. The Brewers have added some really nice young talent since last summer. Too early to tell because Nottingham and Derby are so young but imo, the A's gave up some good talent for a guy like Davis. Aside from his power, Davis isn't really all that impressive. This is a solid trade for a rebuilding team like Milwaukee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
