Not very keen on trading Schwarber, so hoping trade conjecture about him is misplaced.
Very impressed how Schwarber improved his defense last season to better-than-decent. He’s basically a 3 WAR guy... and maybe some upside left? Would hold my cards with him.
But, not so impressed with Happ last year. Really frustrating watching him swing-and-miss on pitches IN the strike zone. Fangraphs Z-contact rate had him at about 70%. MLB average is about 85%. Worrisome when a guy isn’t making enough contact on strikes. Maybe he’s just guessing wrong too often and, granted, ball jumps off his bat on good contact but maybe let another club take on his upside—-which is there. With five years of control and versatility and power, would think has considerable trade value.
