Good looking player, looks like a future star. Not gonna contribute this year, but could compete for a starting corner OF spot next year. Alcides Escobar is a 21 year old SS also on Milwaukee's AA club. Currently hitting .333-6-42 with 16 SB. Basically, if that's the offer with another prospect or two thrown in, they're nuts not to jump on it. Milwaukee seems like they really want to make a run this year, so theyre an intriguing trade partner with a good minor league system.

From things that I have read, the Brewers to do want to part with Escobar so I think the best thing we probably could get from them would be Laporte and the third baseman Green who is either in A or AA. Even if they lost C. C. after the season was over via free agency they would still get two #1 picks because of his salary and so since they're so good in selecting young talent they could just reload their farm system.
I don't think the Dodgers would be dumb enough to take JP off of our hands. They would be able to get someone better. I would think.
