Jonathan Lucroy

Lol mock all you want, but the stros will be in the playoffs next year and will be contenders within the next 3 years. The problem with your theory is that all the good organization's already have good catchers with good deals. The Astros need a "face" for their organization. He's the perfect person for it.

So injuries don't happen? Catchers can decline quickly, how do you even know the brewers will let him go? He is becoming, if not already, their face of the franchise.

----How about if we get a CPA to work with the Brewers and let them anti up say $5-$10 million for the Baseball stadium @ UL----Just think that there might be a tax angle that could benefit all----I have no idea and hated accounting!!! Any tax dudes on here see a way that we could do this which could help the Brewers by raising LUC's salary in this fashion??? Again I have no clue!!!

His current contract runs through 2016 with a team option for 2017. I don't think the Brewers will be trading him as he's become the face of the franchise. Additionally, he's only costing them $2M this year, $3M next year, $4M in 2016, and $5.25M if the team picks up the 2017 option (which they will). I'd be surprised if the team wasn't already looking at his next contract.

I found this article from earlier this year that was an interesting read.

Lucroy is the 19th highest paid catcher in the league...

Dream Scenario: After this season, Luc deserves a new structured contract plain and simple. Brewers probably won't pay. Jason Castro's contract for the Astros ends after the season. Hopefully the Astros make a move after the season to go after him. He'd be fantastic framing pitches for that young stable of arms.

He obviously deserves an extension and raise. The Brewers have history of doing just that. They extended and raised Luc well before arbitration. They extended and raised Braun four years before his contract end date. I think Luc has three years left after this year.

JUST LET ME DREAM, OK GUYS!!

MILWAUKEE -- Brewers catcher Jonathan Lucroy wants no part of the question, but we posed it anyway.

Does he consider himself a contender for the National League Most Valuable Player Award?

"Someone else was asking me that the other night, and I said, 'Look, man, I don't care,'" Lucroy said. "It doesn't matter right now. None of that stuff is going to come if we don't win. That's cool, great and dandy, whatever. That's great for an individual.

MILWAUKEE, WI - In the latest update for the "We Energies High-Energy Player of the Year" award, Brewers center fielder Carlos Gomez remains in first place with 32 percent of the votes, just ahead of catcher Jonathan Lucroy, who has 31 percent of the votes. Lucroy has significantly closed the gap after trailing Gomez by 12 percent in last month's voting results. Second baseman Scooter Gennett surpassed outfielder Ryan Braun to sit comfortably in third place with 14 percent of the votes.

His is an odd name to see in the running. I think we're all still getting used to the idea of Lucroy being a really terrific player, and the NL is the league with Clayton Kershaw and Andrew McCutchen and Giancarlo Stanton in it. Last year, McCutchen won the league MVP. Kershaw won the league Cy Young. Lucroy's never received a single down-ballot MVP vote. But then, before this year, Lucroy hadn't been an All-Star, so things can change, and Lucroy has more than earned consideration. By no means is this a slam dunk and there are still a few weeks for the overall picture to shift, but we can run through the Lucroy argument point by point.
