Odds of Hart being traded?

[BREWCREW5]

As of today, we are continuing to hear Hart's name come up in trade talks. First it was with the Braves and now with the Mets. I think it is probably at about 90% that Hart is traded, probably for a reliever.

I would imagine then that Gamel would play either left or right with Braun playing the opposite corner with Gomez in center. That would be a VERY cheap outfield.

Thoughts? Will Hart be traded?

[Invader3K]

I'm not sure I agree that he would probably be moved for a reliever. I think if he's traded it has to be for a starting pitcher. I would guess he'll probably be moved at this point. Where there's smoke, there's a fire.

I hope the Brewers don't move him unless it's in a package for a quality starting pitcher. I'd like to see a package for Javier Vazquez.

 

That being said, Hart's stock is about as low as it can be, and I do not want to sell low on another guy. I think Hart will have a much better season next year (I know. It would be difficult for him to be worse).

Id love to see him swapped for David Dejesus. I like the idea of adding a left handed bat to the top of the order. I have always felt that for Weeks to reach his potential he should be moved toward the middle of the order - maybe 5th and this is a move that would allow us to do that.

Aracko; I love that idea. Not gonna happen, though. Dejesus costs more. Also, my bet is that Gamel will be a corner outfielder if Hart is traded for pitching.

The only way I want to deal Hart (and someone) for pitching is if we get a Javier-Vazquez-level pitcher in return.

I think Hart's name comes up because he's not a guy that's all that hard to replace, he's young & has had success at the plate, and he's getting more expensive for the Brewers. Even with his pay-raises, he's still a good value if another team has a hole at RF. I think there's a pretty good chance he gets moved this offseason, but I wonder if he'd go to bring in a RP. I've read rumors that ATL wants to trade Rafael Soriano because of his contract situation (set to make ~$7M in arbitration), and they just non-tendered Ryan Church. I'd personally love to see Soriano in Milwaukee.

[jjkoestler]

Coffey, Soriano, and Hoffman would be an amazing 7,8,9. I could get on board with moving Hart + ? for Soriano if the Crew thought they could make a run this year. I can't imagine Soriano would be hard to flip if they were struggling around the deadline too.

I think many teams are hearing his name and asking about him, a classic case of clubs looking for a bargain.
