The Chris Archer Poll and Debate

[splitterpfj]

We’ve kicked Chris Archer around plenty, and now, the rumors have rekindled - so let’s start with the big question:

 

Would you include Keston Hiura in a trade for Chris Archer?

[Boomer5]

No. His production doesn’t match his strike out numbers.

 

I’d go for a Harvey type instead since we have a potential rotation in 2019 of Davies, Chacin, Nelson, Burnes, and Peralta.

[jjfanec]

Nope. I could see the Brewers seeing something in Archer that they think they could tweak to help him turn the corner but I am not giving up Huira for a guy with the risks of Archer.

[wibadgers23]

No for me. I think I would only include Hiura for a deGrom/Syndergaard type.

[tmwiese55]

I would not. After Archer's poor season so far his price should have gone down. I know he had a great game this weekend but TB might end up waiting for him to rebound more and sell in the offseason. I'm not as big of a hater on him as many here, so I'm open to looking into it for the right price, especially since the price should have dropped in the last 3 months. But I'm pretty sure Burnes and Hiura are off the table for me. Though I'd love to keep Peralta long term, I'm somewhat skeptical on Peralta's long term chances and his hot start could be a good boon to his 'value'. It still wouldn't be easy for me but I think he's our highest rated guy that I'd go. Starting framework of Peralta/Phillips or Santana should get the conversation going you'd think.

[Oldcity]

No chance.

[Madhawk23]

Count me in as a "No" as well. I'm sure TB would demand Hiura as I would guess that they still have an extremely high value on Archer, but like others have stated - I'm only including Hiura in a deal if we are getting a legit TOR starter back in return, and Archer no longer fits that bill.

[nate82]

No, Hiura to me should only be included if you are talking about a Sale type of a trade. Archer just doesn't fit that type of a trade to me.

 

I don't see the Rays giving up Archer for anything less than Hiura, Burnes, and Ray.

[superfly]

If theres a long term solution at 2B acquired as well like a Schoop type, then yes. I'm not sold on Hiura playing passing defense or staying healthy yet.

[Warning Track Power]

I don't see the Rays giving up Archer for anything less than Hiura, Burnes, and Ray.

This is just poor front office management too. I understand Archer is cost controlled but they aren't competing with the Yankees or the Red Sox anytime soon. Given this they need to move him for pieces that will be there when they're ready to compete again.

 

If I am them, the time to move him is now...actually it was prior to this season.

[MilwaukeeBeers]

Not a frigging chance. Archer could pull a headlining prospect like that 3 years ago, but not anymore. I also think he would immediately be the most talented pitcher on the roster, but I need to see more consistency, and not just more of the same mediocre results if I’m giving up someone of Hiura’s pedigree.

[KeithStone53151]

Absolutely not. If the Brewers are willing to include Hiura in a trade, they should be talking to the Mets, not the Rays.

[bensheeps]

I've always thought that Archer would be a good addition with the hopes of helping him realize his "potential", but Hiura would be tough to move in a deal hoping for the potential.

 

Got to vote "no" on a deal with Hiura but "yes" on exploring other options to get Archer here.

My thoughts exactly.

[OnaBadger58]

Nope for including Hiura, and Nope for including Burnes.

[82brewcrew82]

Firm no.

[shanedog19]

Is Archer any better than what we have?

[RockCoCougars]

Easy no.

[mlloyd10]

NO - Erceg, Ortiz and Diplan or Lutz should be a really good offer.

[ShawnSpencer]

Definite no from me...I like the thought of revisiting the trade, but not at the cost of Hiura.

[Fear The Chorizo]

[sarcasm]yes[/sarcasm] - just to be contrarian!

 

Frankly I'd struggle including Hiura in a trade for DeGrom...

[Fear The Chorizo]

NO - Erceg, Ortiz and Diplan or Lutz should be a really good offer.

 

And get rid of Lutz in that list of potential offers...no way I want him leaving this organization, either.

[reillymcshane]

Chris Archer? No.

 

Sterling Archer. Absolutely.

 

[Eye Black]

This is mostly meaningless, but I’ll share anyway... Chris Archer is two months from turning 30 years old, the same age Matt Garza was when he entered the Brewers rotation.

 

On a more relevant note, I am not outright opposed to trading for Archer, but I don’t think giving up Keston Hiura for him would be wise.

[brewmann04]

no Hiura or Burnes or Peralta
