TB 5, Boston 0, 1 on, 2 out in the bottom of the 6th. Go Rays.
BTW, for those of you who don't recognize me (and why would you?), I am the artist formerly known as HoustonCardinal. I hated that moniker so I will now be known as chuckb. Not sure how I came up w/ that one. Go Rays!

I actually typed it out like this. “Are two long. Too and a half hours right now.”
But I caught the second one before I posted.

I’ve been trying to figure out who the hell chuckb is for about 10 minutes and when I saw the poster had over 5,000 posts, I was embarrassed I didn’t recognize the handle.

by mattyfrommo on Oct 13, 2008 7:38 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
the AL seems to be really, really weak at 3b.
’08 Glaus (124 OPS+) would be #3 there, offensively, behind Longoria and Arod.
The interesting thing is that they are going to get weaker- arod, rolen, mora, lowell, guillen, etc are all on the wrong end of the aging curve. Beltre should be in his prime, but seems to be a 100-ish OPS player with ++ defense who had one great year offensively. The only guy who might challenge longoria for “second-best 3B in the league” next year would be Gordon, if he could get his stuff together. Or Peralta or kinsler or young, if they move them to 3rd and they have good years.
Makes you wonder about the trade value of Troy Glaus/Freese/Craig/Wallace this offseason. Might be higher than we think it is.

by SleepyCA on Oct 13, 2008 7:40 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Hanging over at the A's Board
Lot’s of Talk about trading Huston Street for Freese. With Chavez always hurt they need a 3B. Seems like a solid deal for both teams. They get a cost controlled player while we get a closer.
by FlimtotheFlam on Oct 13, 2008 8:17 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I can't imagine
Billy Beane would be happy w/ that. I’d have to say that that would be a great deal (at first glance) for the Cards and I’m a fan of using Perez in that role. Street is worth more than a AAA 3B who’s a decent prospect. Maybe Freese +…
by chuckb on Oct 13, 2008 8:25 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Oaklands average of 3B over 2008
.242/.318/.369/.686 worst in the MLB. So they really do need a 3B bad.
Chavez is signed through 10 with an option for 2011.
Huston has two more years of Arb left vs 6 years of Freese.
I think we could add another prospect to sweeten the deal but the basic framework seems solid
by FlimtotheFlam on Oct 13, 2008 8:30 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I think I would do
Freese + Mortensen. It still seems low. Won’t some other team get in on the deal? There just aren’t that many closers out there — particularly those who are still in their arbitration years. We could allow Perez to be the setup man and trade Street in a year for something like Freese+ and allow Perez to inherit the role in 2010.
by chuckb on Oct 13, 2008 8:32 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
They need OFer's
What about Jon Jay or Brian Barton included
by FlimtotheFlam on Oct 13, 2008 8:36 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Freese + Jay?
I could do that. I doubt they’d want Barton — he’s older and not as much their type, I don’t think.
by chuckb on Oct 13, 2008 8:40 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
well, street isn't really a "closer"
any more than Franklin is a closer. Street blew 7/25 save opportunities this year, and lost his closing job in July.
But he’d be cheap; i can’t see him getting much of an arbitration raise, and he might serve as a capable 8th-inning guy. Since freese isn’t likely to ever be a cardinal, we might as well get something for him. Maybe Street could have a decent season and we could move him at the deadline for a prospect and promote Perez?
the enemy's gate is down.
by SleepyCA on Oct 13, 2008 9:19 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
They can keep Street, no thanks
can’t we turn Freese into a 2B? I mean, Blake DeWitt can do it…so can anyone!
by Hardcore Legend on Oct 13, 2008 9:15 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I'm pretty resigned to the idea
that Perez will not be our closer next year. I think he should be, but… In any case, who is a better option that Street, given that Perez isn’t our closer?
by chuckb on Oct 13, 2008 9:16 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I'm not sure I know one off the top of my head
but Street lost his closing job this past season, mostly because he wasn’t very good.
I’d rather keep Freese as an insurance policy for Glaus and put Motte or Kinney in the closers role.
by Hardcore Legend on Oct 13, 2008 9:21 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
well, we have craig and wallace
as insurance policies for glaus. We need to turn some of these guys into things we need before they Reyes themselves into pumpkins.

I'm concerned about Wallace
he has been absolutely dreadful in AFL after looking like a beast at every other level.
I used to think that we needed to move 2 of the 3 to fill other holes but I’m beginning to think we should let them play. Let Freese play, then move him when Wallace is ready.
by Hardcore Legend on Oct 13, 2008 9:30 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Is it safe to assume he's simply tired?
Played a full college season, a second half of minor league ball, and now the AFL.
I know most of these guys play summer leagues and stuff, but the travel has to be something he’s not used to for this long of a season.

that ball was hit way too hard; if manny runs to third there, he gets thrown out and it’s Vlad ALDS all over again. With the announcers badmouthing him for running to third on a ball hit to the SS.

If LA loses this one
they are done. Down 3-1, having game 4 stolen, they don’t recover from that.

because had they won, they were looking real good considering the staff and how they’ll line up

Does Manny channel his inner Pu?
I’d say not. he may be good, but trying to channel that may cause a head explosion

man that couldn’t have worked out more perfectly. Martin and his GG Bat couldn’t hit shit, but because the catcher didn’t have some gold glove magic working, he’s safe.

Lidge's longest outing of the season
was 33 pitches on 9/16 against the Braves. He threw 16 in the 8th. At least Berroa’s spot comes up in the 9th.

I really don't think
it’s over if the Dodgers lose tonight. They’ll have pitching advantages in games 6 and 7, probably. 5 is the tough one since the Phils will send Hamels to the mound. The Dodgers, however, will send Billingsley. Though Lowe’s pitched well the last couple of months, I think Billingsley’s their best pitcher. There’s nobody I’d rather have on the mound in game 5 than him. They’ll be at home w/ their best pitcher on the mound. They’ve got a good chance of getting it to game 6 where it’ll be Myers vs. Kuroda.
