Can he play 3rd Base?

Not very well.

Wish the padres made an offer.

Could be a preemptive move with Segura or Sardinas coming to SD.
zippytms
This was my immediate thought. Sardinas was drafted while Preller was with Texas. Either Preller goes after Sardinas, or they Brewers want to trade Segura and Villar backs up Sardinas. I’d prefer Sardinas, but Segura isn’t bad either.

This does not seem like a good trade ? Sneed had good potential to pitch out of the pen! He put up good numbers both years so far

Good luck Villar. I wish him the best. Welcome Cy. Kid looks like he’s decent. Anybody know much about him?
AstrosWS20
I find it funny that the Astros acquired someone named Cy the day after Keuchel won the Cy Young.

Villar is a very underrated player who always was behind in the astros infield pecking order. He will provide speed and versatility in the infield with occasional pop. Good move on the Brewers

Good bye Villerror! hope you have many more Errors to come!

The Brewers seem to be acquiring the same type of player they already have in droves- light hitting middle infielders.
JT19
There’s really not any other types lol. You’re either a light hitting middle infielder or a power hitting middle infielder. And the power hitters are gobbled up real quick

Villar did show offensive improvement last year, and at worst he’s a valuable reserve and pinch runner. In addition to SS, 3B and 2B, he’s played some OF.
Hope the fresh start with the Brewers is good for him.
Monkey’s Uncle
I could see Villar as a pinch-runner, maybe as a back of the order 2B semi-regular. But his defense at SS just will not cut it, and he will never hit well enough to justify putting him at 3B: poor contact, little power. The Brew Crew could find lightning in a bottle here, he’s probably worth taking a gamble on… but don’t hold your breath.

Dan LeBlanc
This is a good, under the radar pickup for the Crew. Villar may progress further as a hitter and become a decent regular, and if not, you’ve got a versatile back-up player like, say, Mike Aviles. And that’s value in itself.

are the Brewers going to trade Sardinas or Segura?
Bob Smiley
Segura on the market? seems likely.
Ray Ray
Is it just me or does the name Cy Sneed sound like he belongs as the villain in an early 1900’s silent movie?
