probably the wrong forum as this is not a fantasy question. So mods please move if appropriate. With LuCroy coming off DL today, I was discussing him with another Brewers fan and we were wondering how he rates as a player both offensively and defensively. Does he rate as a strong long term answer at C for the crew? I really like the kid, but what is his longterm projection for the Crew?

LuCroy reminds me a lot of Thole. Good BA, not much pop.After former Broncos quarterback Brian Griese sprained his ankle and said he was tripped on the stairs of his home by his golden retriever, Bella: “The dog stood up on his hind legs and gave him a push? You might want to get rid of that dog, or put him in the circus, one of the two.”

If he wants to make a long-term career with the Brewers, he's going to have to seriously improve at least one facet of his game. He doesn't have the glove of the long-time backup or the bat of a long-time team staple. Guys like this always get replaced by younger, higher-upside players that come down the pipe.

Hmmm...I'm more optimistic than Dane on Lucroy, more down on Kottaras bat skills. I see a quality receiver with an above-average (not awesome or great, just above-average) arm with a solid BA and OBP. Is he Buster Posey...well, no. Is he a .270ish-10-60 above average defensive C? Yeah, I can see that.
Kottaras made some major strides in the offseason in throwing to second and calling a game, but his bat hasn't been anywhere near as good as advertised.I'm just here for the baseball.

LuCroy seems to be a better catcher but I've not seen enough of him to have a strong opinion on his long term viability for the Brewers. But, a good backstop makes up for a poor stick. Just look at Yadier Molina.

Brewers sent C George Kottaras outright to Triple-A Nashville.After former Broncos quarterback Brian Griese sprained his ankle and said he was tripped on the stairs of his home by his golden retriever, Bella: “The dog stood up on his hind legs and gave him a push? You might want to get rid of that dog, or put him in the circus, one of the two.”
