St. Louis Cardinals at Milwaukee Brewers, May 9, 2008 8:05 PM EDT

what's jeff luhnow up to these days? Future Redbirds has a Q+A w/ the cards' player development chief. it's a good read. an excerpt:
If we wanted a "sexy" pick, we would read Baseball America, read Keith Law’s articles, and pick based on their opinions. But we don’t, and neither do any other clubs, because while the journalists are doing a good job of expressing their opinions based on the information they have, we have to live and die with our selections and the future of the organization is impacted by these picks. If the journalist is wrong, he just admits it (maybe) and keeps writing about the next guy or the next draft. They will still sell papers or get eyeballs. If we are wrong, we’ve missed a huge opportunity to make our organization better, and nobody wants to do that.

I'd rather take a sexy pick with a 25% chance of being a bust
than take a average MIF that has a 100% chance of being nothing more.
It disappoints me that the organization won’t ‘shoot for the moon’ in the draft. Go get a Bonus Baby golden arm and if he busts, so be it.
by Hardcore Legend on May 9, 2008 7:09 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
yes, but who decides
whether a guy has a 25% chance or a 100% chance of either? How do you know that Kozma wasn’t a “shot at the moon”? Just that he wasn’t Porcello?
And I awoke in California, far far from Spancilhill...
by SleepyCA on May 9, 2008 7:25 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I really hope Kozma's wasn't an attempt to shoot for the moon
elite SS’s come in the mold of Reyes, Ramirez, Tulo, Rodriguez, etc. Kozma might be an above average hitter and defensive player but I would hope they would take the best TALENT availible when the pick comes up and not just the best player at the position you want.
I think Kozma was a reach where they took him. I’m not saying he is garbage but they should have taken Porcello.

We’ve already got average middle infielders.
Whatever we do in the middle infield, we have to go whole hog. Play it conservative elsewhere (bullpen, #4, #5 starter, etc.), but do it big at shortstop. Given that the few SS who are power hitters are unlikely to end up here, our SS is likely to be our leadoff for the next several years and will get more leadoff hits than anybody.

I don't think we have a top 15 MIF
Our SS is near last and our 2B is at best average.

And, top 15 would be about average, if it were near the bottom of the 15….

If you think that will continue...
Izz2 isn’t going to maintain his production so far. He simply isn’t that good as an offsensive player. He has not had a WARP3 above 1 since 2005. There is no reason to think he is suddenly playing at a new level.
His best ever season was a WARP3 of 4.8 with his typical being 2-3 when he was a regular and “productive” many years ago. None of this points to him continuing his current performance.

I am with yo 100%
I’ve been with you on this since the day he was signed. My friends and I call him “Izsuckis” in text messages. My proposed nickname for him was “Mendoza the II.” At a Memphis vs. Iowa game, after Jimenez made a routine play, I yelled, “DFA Izturis and call up Jimenez!”
His career OBP is .297. He is clearly playing above his head, but his April production alone might have been worth signing him. He has exceeded any and all of my highest expectations for him in this young season. He got us through Ryan’s injury (not that Ryan is or will get a significant amount of the time at SS). At least we didn’t have to sit through a month of Grit Miles at SS…

what average MIF??
we have a bunch of below average middle infielders. i was a big critic of the kozma pick when it was made, but after seeing him in person i’ve becoming a believer. his swing is much better than what carlos gomez broke down in his draft video. he has a very good eye. and he plays excellent defense. it also doesn’t hurt that he has a pretty sexy .868 OPS in his first go at full season ball.
as a kozma konvert, i urge fans to give him a chance. there were 26 other teams that passed on porcello for similar reasons…time go let it go.

I am with you
I was mostly disappointed when they drafted him, but I have done a 180. I just have to find a way to get over to see him before they ship him out of the q.c. .
Yep, Kozma makes me giddy.

Bernie parotting LB
In yesterday’s “Bernie’s Extra Points,” it’s almost as if he cut-and-pasted LB’s morning post from the other day.
A sample:
One of Jason Isringhausen’s problems this season is his diminishing ability to get hitters to swing and miss. He’s making good pitches, but isn’t finishing off hitters at the same rate.As always, I have statistics.
Let’s take a look at Izzy’s career as a Cardinal in two areas: (1) the percentage of swings and misses, and (2) his strikeouts per batters faced…
Bernie’s about twelve hours behind VEB. Good work, LB.
Hopefully Izzy gets a few swings-and-misses this evening and we can get off on the right foot vs. the Brew Crew.
by bgh on May 9, 2008 7:24 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
that's the 4th or 5th time that has happened this year
Bernie and the others at the P-D better send LB a nice Christmas card this year.

“If we wanted a “sexy” pick, we would read Baseball America, read Keith Law’s articles”“
One can see the satire in his voice as this quote comes out. Love it. Hey Keith Law, Luhnow and Cardinal nation are flipping you the international Sicilian sign of greeting. Our esteemed Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia has been known to use this hand gesture from time to time:

How does FSN keep finding Cub fans at Cards-Brewers games, and Brewers fans at Cubs-Cards games?
Maybe it is just me, but that last thing I would want to do on a weekend is go to a Cubs-Brewers series.

the other night some were upset with him and some izzy, but he did get robbed of hits twice and once of XBH…
Lately he has been tagging the ball even on outs. Most of this was Wed, nto sure what he did yesterday. Hes even hit some of his routine ground outs very hard…I say this to think maybe hes ready for a tear…if you keep hitting it just right at people and hard eventually some will fall..
