Colby just said DeRosa's awesome
“Clubhouse character.”
That was a lot of reaction from the Cheese. Maybe DeRo has introduced the tickle-fights.

In 2014...
we’re gonna have Colby and Shelby up the middle.
At least somebody named Bob Stock will join them to keep everything on the level.

Pre-game trivia!
Two part question:
Part 1: The LA Dodgers had 5 straight rookies of the year from 92-96. Who were the five?
Part 2: Who won the years before and after the Dodgers’ run?
Without looking it up...
I’ll say Hollandwerth, Piazza, Irabo, Perez, and…. Can’t think of the other guy. Definitely can’t do before and after.

Hey
I’ve been around this site for a couple of year now. I don’t really comment a lot and lately haven’t at all. Just got married and started a real job. But I read the blog most days and the comments about once a week. I just wanted to thanks everyone for the thoughtful and interesting comments that they post and keep me entertained and informed just about everyday. This truely is one of the greatest communities on the internet. Keep up all the good work. This goes doubly for the Main posters. And Go Cards!
Pre-game activity
Need your help, VEB. Someone on another forum asked people to post their “all-2000s team” for their favorite club. I’m trying to do the Cardinals. The rules: it’s not he BEST player at that position, it’s the player with the most time logged at that position. Also, no moving people around — no putting a LF in RF or vice versa. Just most innings played by a player at a position from 2000-2009. Here’s what I have now.
2000-2009 Cardinals Team
C – Yadier Molina (barely, over Matheny)
1B – Albert Pujols
2B – Fernando Vina
3B – Scott Rolen
SS – Edgar Renteria
LF – Ray Lankford? (not sure about this one)
CF – Jim Edmonds
RF – J.D. Drew? (not sure about this one)
SP – Matt Morris
SP –
SP –
SP –
SP –
CL – Jason Isringhausen
I checked Molina, he beats out Matheny by a measly 200 or so innings at C. The rest I haven’t double-checked yet. I’m busy tabulating innings pitched by starters.
lankford wasn't the 2000's

Yes he was
2000 – 472 PA
2001 – 314 PA
2004 – 235 PA
But I have no idea if that makes him our top LF from 00-09.
I know he played in the 2000's
he just wouldn’t be on that team. He is all 90’s team for sure

I was wondering if a mention of Lankford would bring your out of the woodwork
I’ll do the math and I’ll make sure to let you know if Lankford is, indeed, the 2000-2009 Cardinal left fielder.

he won a cy young

Wait a sec
That’s not necessarily right, since it’s only through 2008. For example, I calculated manually and had Molina with more innings at C than Matheny. Must investigate. But still helpful, thanks.
There's been some serious...
turnover on this team, except for first and the closer.

You really think he's going to get that?
"If I prepare myself, my stuff is good and I'm going to get outs. That is a fact." - Chris Carpenter
If they play it right?
Absolutely. The Nats are the biggest joke in baseball if they don’t get him signed, and even if he blows up like Prior he’d still be valued at 16-17 WAR=~70 million if he were a FA so no matter what they get him signed for, it’s a discount. The average #1 overall college pitcher comes out at 16 WAR, the Nats are fools if they don’t do what it takes to get him signed.
Not afraid to nitpick
But what losing team -
and let’s face it, that’s who’s going to draft him – can afford to pay that, or be willing to?
"If I prepare myself, my stuff is good and I'm going to get outs. That is a fact." - Chris Carpenter

They do
They choose not to take them. This isn’t the NFL where Stafford is getting more than MVPs. Every single player who signs in this draft is being acquired at a discount, it’s only the stupid teams who don’t take advantage of it.
Not afraid to nitpick
but what if they don't have the money?
these guys are all unproven at the major league level. the nfl draft is crap too, but at least they have a salary cap to keep things civil, this is just out of control. strasburg wanting 20 million is absurd.
by stlcardinalsfang on Aug 17, 2009 10:49 PM EDT up reply actions
#1 they do have the money, they are billionaires
#2. Strasburg is worth a helluva lot more than 20 million. I’m not guessing, the average college pitcher #1 overall has been worth 16 WAR. Aside from the fact that he’s not an average #1, 20 million is a gigantic discount.
Be angry about Vernon Wells getting 120 million, Gary Matthews Jr 55 million etc about 5 years before you get angry about a draft pick getting way less than he’s actually worth.
Not afraid to nitpick
#1: the nats just spent a bunch of money on a new ballpark, etc. they're not exactly rolling in it
#2: i don’t care how much the average #1 college pitcher is worth in WAR. they went out and proved themselves. it’s an average for a reason, because not every single one of them pans out. let him throw one, just one, great season and then let him sign for the monster dollars, but right now it’s ridiculous.
by stlcardinalsfang on Aug 17, 2009 10:55 PM EDT up reply actions
No they didn't
The average college #1 overall pick when they were drafted were unproven. They were in the exact same situation by definition. They ended up producing an average of 16 WAR.
If Strasburg could have a good year then sign for big money then I’d be right with you. But that’s not the system at all, the system is they can’t get big money for six+ years.
Not afraid to nitpick
but the average #1 college pitcher didn't get 20 million last year
or the year before that, or the year before that, etc. why all of a sudden does the #1 college pitcher get to get paid like a major leaguer?

Just give me one reason
He’s worth WAY more than 20 million, how is it ridiculous that he gets less than 50% of what he’s worth to a billionaire owner?
Not afraid to nitpick
i refuse to put worth on a player who hasn't thrown a major league pitch
i put worth on draft position, and he was drafted number one. so give him average number one pick money.
by stlcardinalsfang on Aug 17, 2009 11:08 PM EDT up reply actions
Where did they come up with that number though?
Why is it 8-9 million and not 5? Why not 3? They haven’t thrown a single pitch? Why not 100k?
Unfortunately for the Nats they screwed themselves into this leverage corner by being cheap with Crow over 500k. They screwed themselves over for slightly more than the major league minimum. They have to get him signed for PR if nothing else (not to mention they’re getting one of the best pitching prospects in recent memory) and no matter what he ends up with it’ll be less than his expected value, I fail to see how that would be a raw deal for them.
Not afraid to nitpick
but if you factor in inflation,
prior’s 10.5mil in 2000 is ~14-15 mil today. it ain’t 20, but it’s not far off.
So
You wouldn’t want a free 5 million dollars for waiting an hour and 14 minutes?
Not afraid to nitpick
he's not going to get 20 million. period.
i would tell my agent to sign a freakin’ deal. i want to play baseball. get it done.

too ambitious, greedy, etc
say stras becomes a 15M/yr player. putting off that payday by starting a year late means next year someone will have to pay him 15m more than the nats are offering. oversimplified, but the short answers is
he won’t get it this way
fine with me, but like crow, i doubt it serves him well in the long run. he’s still going to get drafted by a bad team

Yeah, I think it’s a terrible precedent for a draftee to ask for that kind of money. But then again there are some pretty terrible or average ML pitchers who are “veterans” and yet get paid a ton of coin to just kind of suck. Strasburg has to be more promising and maybe even better next year than, say, Wellemeyer, right?

nice catch
but we’re hitting that joke of a pitch now. these are mlb hitters. gotta learn another pitch, haeger
Of course, hope means being cut down on some street corner, as you run like mad, by a random bullet.
how far will Albert's go?
Anyone else think Haeger’ll try to slip something else by since he’s been all KB so far and Albert will deposit one into the actual ravine?
