http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2009/07/trade-candidates-outfielders.html
New arcticle of Mlbtraderumors.com lists him as a possible outfilerlder that we could be interested in. I've said it before and I'll say if again...what is stopping us from trading for this guy. He's having a breakout year hitting .304 with 17 bombs and 50 rbis and is only making 2.4MM this year and won't be a free agent until after 2012. His defense may not be on par with francoeurs but his bat is much better. I think he DH's a lot but that may be because the orioles have 3 better fielders in reimold, markakis and jones. Probably wouldnt take much to get this guy. What do y'all think?

This belongs in the rosterbation post
and I am sure Frank Wren has explored that avenue, but teams don’t trade cost controlled corner OFers for nothing…

Not really rosterbation...
I didn’t read the mlbtraderumors article (blocked on the govt computer) but if this is a legit rumor, it deserves a fanshot, not a fanpost or rosterbation thread post.
Anywho, I am all for getting Mr. Scott.
Like a few people have said, it is almost an unfair question at this point: We will take ANY OF-er over FYF. Reminds me of the Eddie Izzard joke: Cake or Death?

The article doesn’t directly link us to him, what it does is list several outfield names and then list us as one of several teams that could be interested in these guys, so it is somewhat vague. However I do think it is a viable solution and I actually do agree with the guy above, it would probably take more than Jo Jo to get him. I would be hesitant to give up Medlen just because i think he could be real good in the future but I think something like that and another mid level prospect could get it done.

If we got Luke Scott or anyone like him, I would trade Medlen in a heartbeat…wouldn’t even think twice about it.

Maybe
but after watching scott be mediocre in houston for several seasons I would be hesitant that this may not just be another one year wonder. However, the experts seem to think that the numbers he are producing right now are sustainable and that he is for real, so if thats the case, I say we might as well go for it because he is still young, and obviously under control for several years.

Luke Scott didn’t have any mediocre seasons in Houston. His first season was an abysmal 89 PA sample but the next two he hit .336/.426/.621 and .255/.351/.501.
Scott is a very good hitter (.272/.359/.512 career), solid corner outfielder (+4 UZR average/season), and is signed cheaply. The O’s have Reimold to replace him so he’s definitely available. The O’s need up-the-middle players so I’d see if they’d take Hicks and one of our A-ball starters.

If you subscribe to the “you can never have enough pitching” line maybe, but there’s probably 3-4 other organizations (A’s, Rangers, maybe Braves) who have more young pitching depth than them. The four guys mentioned plus Bergesen, Hernandez, Berken, Hobgood, Britton, Patton, etc. They are stacked and much of it is at or very near the Majors.

The rotation at the start of the year was Tillman, Hernandez, Bergesen, Chris Waters (not a prospect anymore), David Pauley (not a prospect anymore), and Jason Berken after a couple of turns. Compare that to Gwinnett’s of Hanson, Redmond, Reyes, Parr, Morton and Medlen after a couple of turns.
I think you’re right, it was better at the start of the year, but when you add in Arrieta and Patton, and realize that Matusz and Erbe are in AA, the O’s definitely have much better pitching depth than we do in the upper levels.

true
but they already have 3 younger, arguably better outfielders and unless they plan on contending and keeping him in the DH, I see him getting dealt. It probably wouldnt take more than a decent pitching prospect and maybe another throw in to get him.

probably more than that.
I am all for going after him, but the cost may be prohibitive. In other words, don’t think JoJo Reyes will get the job done.

First of all, the Orioles have probably the best pitching depth in the minors. Second, they almost always overvalue their players, making good trades hard to find.

And they are stacked with MiLB pitching. The Braves don’t have a lot of great position players to move other than Heyward and Freeman (probably considered untouchable)

looking at their roster they would probably want a corner infield prospect or a ss prospect. Also they really dont have that much major league level pitching, but then again they are trying to contend right now it doesnt seem.

His time in Baltimore has been right in line with his career averages; if you look at Hit Tracker data, he’s getting lucky on some HRs, but he’s walking and striking out at careers norms.

Ludwick would still be an improvement. He’s OPSing .755 with a .250 BABIP and .315 OBP. The last 2 are bound to rise, so now actually could be a good time to get him.

that those last two numbers, or any of those numbers are bound to rise with Ludwick. He was a big surprise last year, and I think that was a big big fluke.

I like Scott, he would help out a good bit i would imagine. I would think somethin like this maybe:
Orioles get:
Frenchy(just a replacement for Scott)
Cody Johnson(they might bite on him, may not who knows)
Kris Medlen(i think they might view him as a setup or Closer so they would prolly like him)
another spec, nothin special
Braves get:
Luke Scott
I mean it may not be enough but Scott isn’t a guy that i would give up nothin truly special for, i like him just not enough for that. I just dont really know how much he is truly worth, i think thats a fair deal for both teams in my opinion.

Yeah but Cody Johnson is at least 2 or 3 years away from the majors and they can keep developin him and trade him or he could be a big time DH, who knows. I was just pretty much sayin Frenchy cause he would be a throw in. I think that is a fair trade for Scott. Scott isn’t great and i wouldn’t give up more than that. If they dont wanna do it then fine but thats about the limit i would give up for him, he isn’t worth a Schafer or Delgado or nobody on that level.

If the O’s are trading Scott, they’d be looking to cut payroll, not add it. Francoeur’s going to cost ~1.75 million to employ for the rest of this season and at least $4 million if they tender him next season. No one’s trading for that just to fill a roster spot.
And Scott is a legitimate 3-3.5 WAR player who’s is arbitration. That’s a very good player/asset.

thats fine about Frenchy i can care less if he is in the deal or not. And thats fine about Scott a 3-3.5 War player as well but i wouldn’t give up alot for the guy, thats just me though, if you would then thats fine but i wouldn’t. Good player, just not Great. If they can get a top 5 spec for him then great for them.

The problem is just that we match up pretty badly. They have a bunch of young outfielders and their pitching depth in the minors is better than ours. They are gonna be pretty damn good in a few years.

Why would you not give up something good for Scott? He’s as good as Nate McLouth or Escobar and just as cheap.
by 17843 on Jul 10, 2009 12:08 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I mentioned Medlen. Is he not good? I think he can excel as a reliever in my opinion. Cody Johnson can either be a bust or a HUGE DH for that team in the future, at least he has a chance. Thats pretty good in my view. I mean i said earlier i wouldn’t give up Schafer, or Delgado or somebody on that level as a prospect. If you would do that then fine but i wouldn’t. I like Scott man, i think he is a nice player and can help us i just wouldn’t trade our future that has a chance to really help us for a long time just for a few years of Scott. We have a great chance to have Schafer in CF, McLouth in LF, and Heyward in RF in 2 years thats why i wouldn’t give up somethin very good for Scott. And if the Orioles could get a top 5 spec like i said then great for them. I heard his D isn’t all that either. Would you trade a Schafer or Freeman or whatever they would want for Scott? Im sure they would ask for Freeman or Schafer, they always ask for alot. They may not even need Schafer since they have Jones in CF. So that would make them wantin Freeman that much more and no way i would even think to do that. Like others have said on here we just dont match up real good with them.
Escobar is just as good a hitter or better than Scott and plays fantastic defense, so thats no comparison. I think McLouth is better though, by the time you add him in CF.

Escobar OPS’s 65 points less than Scott over his career.
You’ve heard wrong about his defense; UZR has him above average every year of his career.
I’d trade one of the Delgado’s and considering they’d never ask for Schafer, I’d only trade Freeman if the trade was expanded to include Huff.
Almost everyone is severely underrated the type of talent Scott is for some reason. He’s hit every season in the big leagues, he’s played above-average defense every season in the big leagues, and he’s in arbitration. That’s the kind of impact outfielder that everyone has been clamoring for.
by 17843 on Jul 10, 2009 12:39 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Escobar overrall is a better player cause he plays a tougher position i would definately take him over a corner OF(unless of course it is a Braun or somebody like that) any day of the week and twice on Sundays. I dont know alot about USR and stuff like that, im just sayin what other posters have said about Scott defense even in this thread that its not that good, and i remember seein him some in Houston, looked a little awkward out there but i haven’t seen him enough to know to really judge him too much. I have just heard more people talk bad about his D than good about it.
Wow you would trade our ONLY legit prospect future 1B for Scott and the all mighty free agent to be Huff? WOW lol. Ok man whatever you say. Not sure who the hell plays first for us in the future but whatever, as long as it helps us this year i suppose. I look at present and future when i talk about trades on here, not just present, apparently me and you have a huge dissagreement about that. Im sure glad Wren is in charge of this team, i dont see him doin or even thinkin to do a trade like this nor should he.

nevermind on Yunel
misread the post. My other comments still stand.
by Andy Braves Fan on Jul 10, 2009 1:09 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Position adjustments are important, but they only level the playing field between Scott and Yunel. Scott’s been +23 offensively, +4 defensively, -7 position in his big league career; Yunel’s been +10 offensively, -4 defensively, +7 position in his career. Even if we give Yunel credit for above-average defense, they’re still equal.
I don’t particularly care what non-scouts say about anyone’s defense. The numbers are hard to argue against over the equivalent of two full seasons of outfield reps for Scott. Tango’s Fan Scouting Report had him at average. He’s certainly average to above-average defensively, no matter what you’ve heard third-hand.
Flags fly forever. Prospects with a handful of AA at-bats still have bust potential. Adding Huff and Scott would fill two positions of need, one of them long-term. There’s a very good chance Freeman’s value will never be higher than what it is now. Look back through some old Baseball America handbooks and you’ll find literally tons of first base prospects who never made the show. There’s a happy medium between emptying your system and being super-protective of your prospects.
As to who plays first in the future, Kotchman is under our control for several more years. Scott is likely capable if the McLouth-Schafer-Heyward wet dream outfield comes to fruition. I’m certainly not ignoring the future by proposing such a deal. It would position us to be very strong competitors in the division this year, would bring us draft picks next summer, and leave us with Scott for three more seasons. Age is a factor, but Huff would be leaving in three months and Scott is 31, not 34, and not under guaranteed contract.
by 17843 on Jul 10, 2009 2:20 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I never said Scott is 34. I never said his age.
I still think its harder to play SS and far more tougher to get a great defender with an above average bat than fillin a Corner OF. Although at the moment we have that SS and dont have the corner OF lol, but still i stand by that though.
And you know, you are 110% right about all the prospects that flame out, man it is ridiculous and then Marte was suppose to be a flat out STUD and look what happened to him. BUT with that said i still wouldn’t trade him. Ok this is my untouchables in the minors: Heyward, Freeman, and MAYBE Teheran(depends on the offer for Teheran). So its not like im holdin onto alot of specs. Thing is they are both already in AA at only 19 years old, that has to say somethin about them. I think Heyward and Freeman both make it to the show as long as they stay healthy, i think both at worst has a great chance to be average players in the majors as long as they stay healthy of course. They have fantastic plate discipline thats key. At there age and their plate discipline man i just cant trade them under no circumstance, well unless it was Gonzalez of the Padres for Freeman but they dont need a 1B so that will never happen so i say no on Freeman bein dealt. Man i think we could get MUCH MUCH MUCH more than just Scott and Huff for a guy like Freeman in my opinion if we wanted to trade him, which i seriously doubt we will. I mean we didn’t even have to trade Freeman for McLouth. Im gonna guarantee that Wren does not trade Freeman for Scott unless its Scott and Wieters or Jones or Markakis lol and that will never happen.

I never implied that you did. What my sentence meant is Scott is 31, where a sudden decline is not likely, not 34, where such a decline could be expected.
I also never said it’s not harder to play shortstop, however we’ve gotten to the point where we can be precise about how much harder it is to play shortstop than right field and the difference is worth about 15 runs a season. Scott’s bat makes that up when him and Escobar are compared.
The worst case scenario is not they become average major leaguers. So many prospects flame out for non-injury reasons. Some just struggle to hit as they move up the ladder, some can’t hit enough, etc. Freeman especially is going to have to hit as a first baseman, but so does Heyward as a right fielder The point is not that they’re not fantastic prospects, because they are. Freeman hits, hits for power, takes walks, and plays good defense. But he’s only proved he can do it at High-A ball.
Scott and Huff together are more valuable a package than McLouth was and remember there were other players in that deal. What you don’t seem to be grasping (or choosing not to grasp) is that Luke Scott is a very good major leaguer; one of the guys that is better than average, but not an all-star, ie, McLouth, Escobar, etc. Guys like that who are cheap and controlled for several years are valuable assets, more so than a first base prospect. Freeman’s worth around $22 million as an asset. Scott as a 3-3.5 WAR player who’s paid pennies on the dollar and controlled for three more years is worth around $20-25 million himself depending on arbitration salaries and how steep of a decline you want to project for him.
I wouldn’t expect Wren to trade Freeman either, but that’s only because we seem to be over protective of our prospects after we were fleeced by Texas.
by 17843 on Jul 11, 2009 4:03 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Giving the fact that he is cheap, and can hit for power, he is going to cost you some good prospects and maybe even a major league ready position player. He isn’t going to be easy to get from Baltimore.

Counterpoint
The O’s are already pretty full in the OF with Markakis, Jones, and Reimold. That could make it a bit easier to convince B’more to sell high on Scott. But people who think Scott is going to keep OPS’ing over 1000 are gonna be sorely disappointed. He’s a nice piece, but his glove is average, and he’s having a career year at 31.
by Yakker on Jul 9, 2009 7:49 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
His glove’s consistently been above-average, he’s performed this year at 30, and his career OPS is .850. That’s a pretty good player and he lacks a long-term commitment if he does start falling off. Obviously you don’t sell the farm for him, but he’d be a massive upgrade over Francoeur this season and next season and could be had for two or so of our B prospects.
by 17843 on Jul 9, 2009 9:13 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Two B prospects for Luke Scott? Really? Look, I like the guy just fine, but he’s not the kind of guy who I’d deal two good prospects for (maybe it depends on what you think of when you say “B prospects”—to me, that’s guys like Medlen or Cole). His glove is fine, UZR has him at around 5 runs.
Scott is basically a 2-win player. Like I said, a nice piece, but the not the kind of guy (at 31) that I’d really spend a lot for.
Look, in the off-season, when the O’s signed Wiggington, and it appeared that Scott was available, I was all for trying to get him on the cheap. But now that the guy is approaching 20 bombs at the break, I really don’t think the O’s have any reason to sell him other than for what they’d consider top dollar. And I think buying high on Scott would be a mistake.
by Yakker on Jul 12, 2009 1:00 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
If you’re valuing his defense at 5, he’s nowhere near a 2 WAR player. He’s averaged +22/700 PAs offensively. +522+25-7=45 prorated to only playing 80% of games in a season he’s still worth 3.5 WAR. That’s McLouth/Yunel level good.
by 17843 on Jul 13, 2009 12:20 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Math
Hmm, you give the guy a +25 for 700 PAs and then prorate him down to 80%? Is that the appropriate way to account for replacement value? Intuitively, it seems more appropriate to me to take 80% of the fielding, hitting, and positional values, then add in 15 or whatever he gets for 500 ABs.
But anyway, he’s registered WARs of 2 and 2.1 the last two years, so I think his established level is close to that. Perhaps he logs more PAs this year, but he averaged about 475 in 07 and 08 each, and he’s on track for about that this year.
His 2009 WAR has spiked because of his hot start, but unless you think he’s reached a new level (and his HR/FB would suggest otherwise), I don’t think he’ll keep up the WAR pace.
by Yakker on Jul 13, 2009 8:50 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Thinking about the methodology a little more…
Giving Scott +25 credit for 700 PAs and then discounting him by 20% doesn’t seem to yield the right results, since that would lead to put the replacement componet of Scott’s WAR at 20 (25*.8), which is the baseline for 600 ABs, as far as I know, not the 560 that is 80% of 700 PAs.
Also, could you show your work on the 22/700 PAs? I think you’re getting that from wRAA, but I believe wRAA isn’t park-adjusted, which inflate Scot’s numbers because of Camden and Minute Maid.

They’d be intrigued at KJ probably even though they have Roberts. haha you guys still think Aubrey Huff can still play the outfield…lol last time was in 06 or 07 i wanna believe. He’d be way better with the bat than Franceour and could even hit in the 4th spot and have McCann in the 5th. Also i think he’s a FA at the end of the season so we wouldn’t be giving up alot of prospects. Other guys we could look at are Cody Ross and Willingham
