Brewers have inquired on James Loney


According to Fox Sports:

The Cubs and Brewers also have inquired on Dodgers' first baseman James Loney, sources said.

 

The Brewers would want him only if they traded first baseman Prince Fielder, which is unlikely.

 

Discuss Loney on his own merits, and use either the Team by team analysis of possible Fielder trade partners or the Prince not going anywhere? for Fielder perspectives outside of that.

Loney for his career has an OPS of .854 on the road although last year was his worst year dropping down to .729. I have always like Loney and had hoped there would have been a larger deal involving Prince/Loney/Dodgers pitching coming to Milwaukee. The train has surely sailed on trading Prince to LA, but dealing for Loney would be alright with me if Prince goes elsewhere.

LOney and Broxton for Fielder rumor.

"Dustin Pedroia doesn't have the strength or bat speed to hit major-league pitching consistently, and he has no power......He probably has a future as a backup infielder if he can stop rolling over to third base and shortstop." Keith Law, 2006

Loney is a poor man's Overbay. It's hard to see how he would help replace Prince, except in the sense that he would stand in Prince's place in the field.

Loney is Overbay, only younger. Serviceable but any team he's on is going to wish it had someone better..
