Letters to Santa Glaus

Dear Santa,
My name is Dan, and I'm twenty-two years old. I've been a very good boy this year; I graduated from college, I kept my cool when the Cardinals blew an eminently winnable NLDS, and I even did some pushups, once. Here is a list of things I would like you to bring me this year.
- Matt Holliday, but only at a reasonable price. As Santa I like to think you have a peculiarly strong bargaining position. Scott Boras is waiting for a second bid, but he doesn't seem to have one; imagine the look on that veteran naughty lister's face when you swoop in, steal him from the Cardinals, and then give him back? It is an ending worthy of O. Henry, and I happen to know you're fond of turn-of-the-century short story tropes. Win-win-win.
- Super Nintendo, with Mario. Oh, and Mario Kart. And EarthBound.
- A remote control car, but not one with cords. The one that can flip over and drive upside-down.
- Bullpen stability. I don't ask for a lot about the bullpen. I know even you are hard-pressed to keep the prospects pitching as well as they should and the "consistent veterans" consistent when the whole thing is measured in sixty inning increments. But I want a closer who'll close games out at the same pretty-good rate all year, and another right-hander who's as dependable as either left-hander. Do that and I won't ask for anything again, ever. If one of them is Casey Mulligan or Gary Daley—well, I've been looking for a completely irrational prediction to make for the blog, and that seems like one they won't suspect.
- A new La Russa quirk. I don't know—catchers bat sixth, starters always swing to pull the ball off a foul pole, coaches deliver the signs in Navajo. I'm going to leave the particulars to you. But it's been a while, and I'd really love to see him introduce some new wrinkle while he chases down John McGraw. I mean, when you think about it, pitchers hitting eighth is like eleven years old.
- Crossfire.
In the night there's a clatter of antlers and hooves atop the Upbaby household. A deep voice cries out across the sub-division: "On shoulder, on shins, on knees and knee braces! On throwing, and hitting, rehab in warm places! Ho, ho, ho!"
The reindeer post has come—airmail, as ever. And in a red and green envelope...
Dear Dan,
You know what Santa Glaus would like this year? A little respect—how's that, huh? Maybe an acknowledgement that when I spend all offseason working to bring presents to the Western world—and part of the Eastern world, too, are you aware of that?—it's kind of difficult to come to Spring Training in the best shape of my life. Does Brendan Ryan do that? Joe Thurston? Albert Pujols? None of them do—that's right. Just me. So maybe that has something to do with me being made of "breakaway movie glass", all right?
Yeah, I googled you. Deal with it.
I'm pretty damned sick of you guys and your naysaying. You want somebody who's healthy? Don't look at this guy. You want somebody who's "consistent"? Wrong guy. You want somebody who'll bring presents to the less fortunate, to the relatively fortunate, to the really fortunate, all on the same night, and not ask for a dime back? Who's prepared to eat hundreds of millions of cookies and work those pounds off by February? That's this guy.
Anyway, you're smart, or at least you're literate. I'm going to level with you, here. So listen up: Any of this garbage you want, you'd better hope somebody else is going to get it for you. Because I. am. out of here. I'll think of you when I'm backing up a third baseman even more fragile than I am and hitting home runs at first base while they do that tomahawk thing for me.
Smell you later, cretin,
Santa Glaus

New LaRussa Quirk
The one I think he should try is having two closers.
When his starter gets in trouble in the first inning, bring in closer A to get out of trouble and move starting pitcher to RF. When closer finishes out inning, bring SP back, bring in new RF and proceed. This would have to appeal to TLR’s double-switch mentality — didn’t Herzog used to this from time to time?

I quite like the idea of doing away with the "long man" and "closer" concept altogether
and go with a bullpen that’s crazy heavy on guys who produce nasty platoon splits. We already have Reyes and Miller who are very good vs lefties, Motte and Franklin who I believe are much stronger vs righties. I’d add another lefty, perhaps (Eddie Guardado for the league minimum, or even a minor league deal, with Meyer in AAA as backup), and at least one (if not two) righties who are murder on RHB – Kiko Calero (OPS against of about .530 vs RHB!) is top of the list, with Russ Springer (nowhere near as good career numbers, but he’s been good vs righties in the last couple of years) near the top of the list. KMac (or, perhaps, if he catches on, Boggs) rounds off the team, as more of a guy who can pitch OKish to LHB and RHB/long-man.
Then we basically go crazy on the matchups in the late innings. I don’t even mind doing the Herzog “pitcher plays one out in LF” thing to break up a tough lefty-righty-lefty match (for instance, say you’ve got Braun, Fielder then Hart up, you give Kiko the ball for Braun, move him to RF/LF and swap in Miller to get Fielder, then bring Kiko right back in and swap out Miller for a “real” LF to get Hart), as it’ll save on wear and tear in a bullpen that could find itself getting quite stretched due to multiple match-up swaps in a couple of high-leverage innings.
I’d then just use whichever pitcher has had the lowest recent workload (or is struglling the most) as a longman as and when required, although having someone like Boggs or Hawk who is used to throwing multiple innings probably would help. Really, you’d ideally want an 8-man pen (3 situational lefties, 4 situational righties, plus a RH guy who can handle multiple innings AND is effective against righties, like Boggs) for this to work out perfectly, and I suspect that would leave us a little stretched for pinch hitters, but it’s certainly a good way to ensure you’ve always got a situational ace on the mound in all high-leveraged innings. If we sign Holliday, I guess you can argue that a four man bench of Craig, Lugo, LaRue and, say, Jay or Greene has a couple of useful bats plus coverage for most positions, although you’re sacrificing a bit of each.
It’ll also help to have 5 reliable starters so the pen doesn’t have to absorb TOO much work, due to the fact there won’t be many guys going multiple innings (or even a full inning, in some cases), although I think we’re well on the way – Carp, Waino, Penny, Lohse and Sheets/Smoltz/Garcia would look a pretty good bet to throw 6 or 7 innings most days.

If TLR could figure out how to do this
He’d manage for another 10 years. I think the reason they don’t do this more is the high wear and tear on warming up all those pitchers every day. I certainly agree that they should be using the Herzog strategy more to get their best relievers in multiple matchups instead of one out and your gone approach.

Miller vsOBP against LHB: (last 4 years): ~.270
Reyes vsOBP against LHB (last 4 years): ~.280
Guardado vsOBP against LHB: (last 4 years): ~.300
Franklin vsOBP against RHB (last 4 years): ~.290
Calero vsOBP against RHB (last 4 years): ~.260
Motte vsOBP against RHB (last 2 years): .276
Boggs vsOBP against RHB (last 2 years): .349
KMac vsOBP against RHB (last 2 years): .342
Springer vsOBP against RHB (last 4 years): ~.250
OK, so Boggs and KMac aren’t great, but KMac is no specialist (and isn’t that good) so would mostly be taking long relief and low-leverage stuff (or be in AAA!), and Boggs has spent most of that time as a SP, and there’s a good chance he’d be much better in the pen.
For comparison, Papeldouche’s vsOBP is .260, Mariano Rivera’s is .264, Billy Wagner’s is .264, K-Rod’s is .284, Izzy’s was .321. Do we really need a closer, looking at those numbers above???
(the wear-and-tear comment above by Duke seems appropriate, I guess you’d need to keep on cycling in the AAA guys and only use the platoon completely strictly in the 8th and 9th innings, i.e. let, say, Trever Miller or Jason Motte now and again throw all 3 outs of the 7th inning)

Please let this happen
Eithier is going to have a great year this year I think, his bat seems to hopefully be ready to have a full season. His drop off last year was real hard to deal with fantasy team wise. I doubt this would happen, I’m sure LA realizes that Eithier and Kemp are two very good pieces to an outfield and wouldn’t be inclined to dump these two at anytime soon. It could be interesting though to see if they do make a finacial based move, can’t wait to see now.

He had a drop off last season?
I have never done the fantasy baseball thing, but how did his first 30 HR 100 RBI season constitute a drop off? His OPS only dropped from .885 to .869. I suppose there probably are fantasy leagues that go into the more advanced metrics. Still, if he would have another season like last year, I would almost prefer him to Holliday, given both of their presumed price tags.

I'm sorry not really a drop off
He didn’t hit as much as he did during the early part of the year, I want to say it was when manny was hurt or something he had a slump for about 20-30 games where he didn’t produce much.

I really dislike it when writers pull this crap:
A look at last year’s final payroll figures provide a frightening look at how Holliday or Bay could end up in New York or Boston in spite of neither team showing vehement interest. Thirteen teams finished last season with payrolls in excess of $100 million. The Yankees spent $423 million last offseason, so they haven’t gone wild this year. Boston handed pitcher John Lackey $82.5 million, more than twice the second-biggest contract thus far.
Why would you compare clubs’ payroll in 2009 to what the Yankees spent on contracts that are five-to-eight years in length? The Yanks didn’t “spend” $423MM last offseason, they committed to spend $423MM in contracts that result in about $50-to-60MM annually over the next five years. Is there a point to this? Sure. The Yankees can afford to commit the equivalent to three players what would consist of more than half of the payroll of 75 percent of the league. So, why use such pointless sleight-of-handedness in comparing apples to oranges?

Seriously though if you are the Red Sox, why not just say f it and sign Holliday?
They can then trade Ellsbury and prospects for a 1st/3rd baseman. Those moves makes you the best team in baseball. Why wouldn’t you do that? I still find it incredibly hard to believe that Holliday will sign with the Cardinals.
And bgh I agree I hate that.

Passan...
Now, the system isn’t perfect. The leader in batting WAR last year was neither Albert Pujols nor Chase Utley nor Mauer. It was Ben Zobrist. Still, it’s a useful tool, and when it says Holliday was worth 5.7 wins last year – 13th among position players – that sounds about right.
Fangraphs should probably run their findings past Passan before publication, just to make sure they get it right.

One question I've always had about WAR...
If this is stupid feel free to mock me like the idiot I am. If a team was constructed of all league average players aka 0 WAR, would that team be expected to finish .500 on average?

A league average player = 2 WAR. Replacement level player = 0 WAR.
I don’t remember what the baseline for replacement level winning percentage is off the top of my head but I want to say something like .380 though I bet you could find a more exact answer at Tango’s site.

That's what I thought
but I was waiting for someone with more expertise to confirm it. So a league average player is actually a decent commodity, whereas a replacement level player is basically a throwaway.
To illustrate, our own fallen all-star Ryan Ludwick was basically the perfect prototype of the league average player this past season.

Robin Ventura
Jaffe has an article up at BP that has Ventura as a border-line Hall of Famer. Without looking at stats, does anyone remember thinking that Robin Ventura was on a Hall of Fame path?
Apparently this is based on him being a wicked glove-man. I remember him being a very solid player for the White Sox, a star even — for a few years, but I don’t remember thinking he was anywhere near Hall quality.
If he gets in his HOF plaque should have the picture of Nolan Ryan grabbing him in headlock and punching his lights out — now that’s was a HOF fight.
Edgar Martinez gets Jaffe’s nod, but he won’t get 10% of the vote IMHO.
Barry Larkin gets the nod as well I hope he gets in - he was a great player.
Just win

The only way Robin's bust will be in there
is dangling from the crook of Nolan’s arm. And I say that having been a Ventura fan.

please, a tauntaun is hardly a mammoth
while the two share some similar biological traits characteristic of mammals, such as viviparity, tauntauns were actually distinctly repto-mammalian, exhibiting such trademark features as scaly skin and a lack of mammary glands.

I get colds maybe 2-3 times a year. 2 out of the last 4 Christmases it’s been one of those times. I suppose trying to operate on 5 hours of sleep a night while working in the mall really tempted fate.

Is this a sub-thread chronicling Cody's descent into madness??
Or was he just drunk?

two front teeth
my wish list this off-season is remarkably slight:
I want John Smoltz signed as a co-closer with Franklin.
And I want AnKiel no where near the Cardinal clubhouse.
I’m not at all unhappy with the rotation (Carp, Waino, Lohse, Penny, and I still think Garcia will be the fifth starter) Bullpen is fine, IF Smoltzy is in tow.
I’ll be ok with however we solve the LF situation, altho Craig is my preference; ditto 3b, with re-signing DeRosa a preference (whoever plays third base can’t be worse than last year.)
The six regulars: Skip, Boog, Pu, Ras, Luddy, Yadi bring smiles all-around.

Can we get a census of everyone that's blogging from their mom's basement?
I feel like we can break some records here.

Happy Boxing Day
Be sure to strap on some gloves and go a couple rounds… I’m pretty sure that’s what the day’s about but I might need Monk to straighten me out on that…
