Brewers trade Jason Rogers to Pirates for more than you'd expect: CF Keon Broxton & RHP Trey Supak; scouting notes in thread [Latest: Rogers called up, post 243]

[markedman5]

#Brewers have traded 1B Jason Rogers to Pittsburgh for OF Keon Broxton and RHP Trey Supak.

[markedman5]

Haudricourt says Brewers have been looking for true CF type and Broxton is a speedster who can go get the ball, so he qualifies there. Played AA-AAA in '15.

Trey Supak is an intriguing pick-up with a 6-5 frame. A 2014 2nd round pick who signed for overslot at $1 million. Per MLB.com he was the Pirates #15 overall prospect.

A 2nd and 3rd rounder for Rogers. Nice. Seems like a better return than Lind. Who would have thought.

[pacopete4]

Hmm.. Didn't see this coming. Interesting trade.

[BallFour]

Glad we got a top 30 Pirates prospect according to MLB's list was getting worried.

[Boomer5]

Nice little trade. Some pretty raw guys but Rogers didn't figure into the Brewers plans it seems.

I can't say if it's a better return, but it's a more tangible return.

 

It's interesting watching these trades shake out. I would have thought that Rodriguez would have brought back more, Ramírez would have brought back less, and with Lind, who knows.

 

This one looks good to me, though.

[And That]

I am more than a little stunned that the Brewers were able to get both of those guys for Rogers. The Pirates do realize that Rogers is going to be 28 on Opening Day, right?

 

Edit: Also, I guess that makes Shane Peterson our first baseman at the moment?

[jerichoholicninja]

So who plays 1B in 2016? Clark?

[patrickgpe]

seems like a better haul than i would have expected, although i am surprised they traded him without a 1st baseman on the 25 man roster.

[Boomer5]

So who plays 1B in 2016? Clark?

 

We both know it's going to be Alvarez.

[remfire]

Wow. Didn't see that coming either. Also impressed with the return considering Rogers will be 28 (I think) this upcoming season.

 

My only question now is who's playing first next year? Clark? Braun? Pedro Alvarez?

[And That]

So who plays 1B in 2016? Clark?

Unless you mean Trent Clark, Matt Clark is no longer a member of the organization.

Yeah, like I was surprised at what we got in return for Ramírez. The common thread is the Pirates.

I think it is Alvarez but now who do you platoon with Alvarez?

 

 

This was a nice trade for the Brewers and I am shocked at the return they got with this trade. The bigger question now is does this mean Santana is going to be at 1B or do they go with a platoon at 1B?

Somewhere Lyle Overbay's phone is ringing.

I guess he's a minor league free agent but I don't know if there's an organization with less depth at 1B right now.

[And That]

The Brewers still have a lot of time and options in the market for filling first base. I don't think moving Santana or Braun is in the cards right now.

 

My guess is Nava (switch hitter with some positional versatility, kind of a theme) and some RHB of the same ilk (Steve Pearce?).

Nava is now an Angel.

Trey Supak is an intriguing pick-up with a 6-5 frame. A 2014 2nd round pick who signed for overslot at $1 million. Per MLB.com he was the Pirates #15 overall prospect.

From a Sept. 23, 2015 Baseball America chat:

Mike (Tampa, FL): Who are you higher on between Bristol pitchers Trey Supak and Mitch Keller? Projections on both?

 

Hudson Belinsky: Supak’s overall stuff puts him ahead, IMHO. Power breaking ball and really learning how to pitch off of his fastball this summer. Keller had issues with consistency (which are to be expected at his age) but has promise as well. Both have the stuff to be big league rotation guys, and 2016 will be a very telling year for each of them as they attempt to refine their consistency.

 

And from an October 2016 Bucs fan blog prospect list:

 

2016 Emerging Prospect

 

Trey Supak (RHP)

 

Taken in the supplemental second round of the 2014 draft, Supak is the definition of raw projection. At 6-foot-5 and 210 pounds, he’s still growing into his body and learning how to pitch. His fastball sits 93 to 95 MPH and he’s learning how to spin a curve ball. He has swing and miss potential and good control, but he’s catching way too much of the plate, resulting in too many hits. The potential is clearly there and the Pirates should start to the take the training wheels off in 2016 and start him in full season ball.

Somewhere Yuni is waiting by the phone

[And That]

Nava is now an Angel.

I didn't like him anyway.

[jerichoholicninja]

Maybe this is why the Brewers reportedly have interest in James Loney. I think it would be a pointless move to acquire him but I guess it would make sense.

[pacopete4]

Will Middlebrooks at 1B this season? Cecchini? Or more than likely not on the roster yet.
