[QUOTE="FollowTisdale, post: 1440336, member: 619279"] Due to small sample size defense numbers, yes, Schwarber was a 3.2 fWAR player last year. Both he and Martinez project to be just about as valuable with the bat in 2019. I believe they are basically the same in the OF, scratch at best, and around -5 runs at worst (Martinez projects worse due to 1b innings, where he's probably a -10 defender). Schwarber is obviously much more valuable in a trade, because he's 26 and has a higher ceiling. Martinez has been a better hitter than Schwarber in their major league careers, though. And I didn't say he wasn't a trade asset. It's just that he's not netting some teams top prospect on his own, and combined with Heyward he probably makes Heyward's contract neutral to a slight surplus. Still doesn't make a Giants trade make sense, they have no reason to add future payroll in their situation. They're a 76 win team, getting older and worse. [/QUOTE]
