TonyWatch2010!

Printi confess to being bummed by the texas/nyy game last night. i really thought when texas was eating sabathia up in the first inning that this was a good start to the series. oh well.
as a brief follow-up to last week's post -- since replacements around the infield are going to keep coming up -- i wanted to link to mlbtraderumors.com's links on trade-eligible shortstops, free agent shortstops, trade-eligible second basemen, and free agent second basemen. i don't feel like we missed anybody huge. i kicked myself for not mentioning alex gonzalez, though it looks like atlanta will take up his option. jamey carroll is not a bad name to know, though he is also in the older, on-the-wane category. he seems more like utility insurance than a starter.
they did mention hiroyuki nakajima, a potential import from the japanese leagues. i am out of my league in looking at japanese stars, although my general opinion is that they tend to underperform the hype - for every ichiro! and matsui, there's a matsuzaka and several so taguchis and fukudomes. a lot of the widely hyped guys end up being merely serviceable, rather than spectacular. if the bidding stays sane, he'd be interesting to look at. but i wonder what the likelihood of that is.
does anybody else find TonyWatch 2010! as obnoxious as i do? this marks the SECOND chilean miner metaphor from the p-d staff, and it wasn't a very good metaphor the first time. i suspect he's not making a final decision so that the scribes in the STL write these kinds of articles in near panicked states because they don't know what else to do if tony la russa won't return their phone calls. the longer they write those articles, the less they write articles about the 2010 cardinals and why they were big, quitting, underperforming losers with (YES!) poopy in their pants.
that's okay. instead of writing articles about stuff that matters, write articles breathlessly updating us about how tony la russa still hasn't decided to return, a return which everybody thinks is practically certain.
one also can't rule out the possibility that tony finds big headlines clamoring for his return aggrandizing and soothing to the ego. bah. stay in california, tony.
my need for minor league stats is going unfilled due to the temporary suspension of the great work at minorleaguesplits. i did, however, spend some quality time knocking around at statcorner.com, which presents some very interesting minor league stats.
|
Quad Cities starting pitcher/stat |
tRA (tERA) |
pRAA |
|
2.82 (2.59) |
25.8 |
|
|
Deryk Hooker |
2.60 (2.39) |
12.6 |
|
Scott Schneider |
2.60 (2.39) |
10.3 |
|
Joe Kelly |
4.01 (3.69) |
8.2 |
that's a pretty deadly rotation down in quad cities. you all are familiar with shelby miller, of course. hooker's numbers are impressive, considering a lot of his pitching was considered relief pitching at QC - which stat corner accounts for differently - and included time at palm beach; same for schneider. i am actually a bit surprised that kelly didn't fare better with tRA analysis, since his groundball tendencies would seem to make tRA a kelly-friendly stat.
and i don't think any of these guys are journeyman wonders. miller is obviously a prospect (TINSTAAPP notwithstanding), but hooker and kelly are real prospects too. schneider has gone a long way to make prospect watchers interested in him as well.
i love their presentation, which is extremely easy on the eyes. good performances are green, bad performances are red. wonderful performances are in green bold, terrible in red bold (there's a lot of red bold on the palm beach rotation's page). it's easy to pick out players who had fine years (have i been underselling alex castellanos? a: given his age, probably not much). obviously, you can't use those rankings as a substitute for analysis, but it's a good starting point. it also makes it MUCH easier to do rough club comparisons -- just clicking through the midwest league, basically no club had a better top of the rotation combo than hooker and schneider -- even leaving miller off the table.
i'd encourage you to mess around with the interface -- some of the stats may be unusual or confusing, but i like the interface more and more as i use it.
enjoy tonight's game -- last year's cy young versus what is almost certainly this year's cy young. it should be a great game in a very exciting series.

I don't think that anything could make me more excited about Shelby Miller
The other guys are interesting, but Miller makes me want to jump in a time machine and go straight to 2013-14.

that article is good, the title is great
well done sir
also hiroyuki nakajima would be great if we could get him cheap. there was nice little piece on him at fangraphs and i am definitely intrigued. hopefully he’s one of mo’s 15-20 hr guys. can anyone on the current roster know any japanese?
danup, if you’re taking requests, i smell a unique opportunity. work some of your interview magic. make some inroads with nakaji. no way in hell strauss or rains is calling up NPBers; you could scoop them all!
I would second this idea
See if you can’t get ahold of Hiroyuki. It can’t hurt to try, the worst he can say is no or nothing at all. You can get a Japanese friend to translate. If you interview him and then that interview gets tweeter by Goold and then it gets around, who knows? You might set some wheels in motion.
If knowledge is the key, then just show me the lock.

Earlier in the year
Ben Badler mentioned possibly including Joe Kelly in BA’s top 100, which seems completely out of the blue to me. The guy has great stuff, but his move from the bullpen to the rotation is still in the experimental phase and he hasn’t gotten the results quite yet.

TLR will be back. we all knew he would be.
i cannot express in words my dislike of tony coming back for another (but hopefully the last) year. then again, you’ve got the argument of who would replace him. frankly, i don’t care – i just want a manager soon, so we don’t have to wonder what our future looks like (and finding out in december or january who our manager will be next year).
zack greinke? hmm. i don’t see it happening. no chance of the cards getting rid of miller, and i doubt they’d trade raz – whether he wants to be traded or not.
buying Greinke would start with Miller and go from there.

i wonder if the Rangers pen can hold this lead?
Bernie once again has words about TLR WATCH 2010. i think there’s something to that, but didn’t he sign a two year deal last year then made them switch to a one year? here’s what pisses me off about this. it has nothing to do with TLR wanting to retire or worried if the team & players want him back, it’s all about stroking his giant ego. he wants & needs the team, players, media & fans to beg him to keep managing. and i for one am sick & tired of everyone cowtowing to that shit. it’s long pasted time for the team or at least the media to call him out for the farce that this crap really is. he’s not going to quit when he’s so close to being #2 on the win list & everyone knows it, i just don’t see why they are afraid to call him out on it. Bernie is right, he needs to sign a multi year deal, stick to it & STFU. if he wants to walk away from a team with the greatest player in the world, the best LF in the game, one of the best young CF’s in the league & 3 of the best starters in the league, then by all means DeWitt & CO hold the door for him as he walks out & tell him don’t let him hit him where the good Lord split him.
enough of this will-he-won’t-he BS every year. stop feeding the giant ego & continuing on with this farce.

Who cares?
I mean, really. He or his successor won’t manage another significant game for over five months. All of the important stuff for the franchise between now and then will be done by Mo, not TLR.
Let him Hamlet about if he gets his kicks by doing it, and let’s focus on the important off-season stuff.

not sure why it would matter to albert
as long as it wasn’t clear that the Cardinals did tony wrong in some way.
It’s not like he has any say in who will be managing for the dodgers in 2012, or the yankees, or the rangers, or whomever. And it’s unlikely tony is gonna be here 3-4 years from now.

Remember that the studio systems for churning out animation were still intact, so they had access to full orchestras sometimes. It was on the decline, but they might’ve had more resources.

did mainstream America just completely lose all decent aesthetic sense during the 80s?

or did the Reagan administration just prove
that a materialistic, free-market-rules-all society will eventually devolve into a loss of common artistic awareness and then a plunge into the lowest common denominator.

If knowledge is the key, then just show me the lock.
Got the scrawny legs but I move just like Lou Brock.
on VEB, everyone reads
not all understand…
actually, the collapse of the studio system and their in-house animation studios precipitated the drop in quality. that happened during the 70s and it was completely demolished during the 80s. hell, I don’t think people realize now that Disney, vanguard of American animation, was in a black hole until the early 90s. their stuff sucked for fifteen years.
demographically, however, the boomers were starting to have kids, so that meant there was a huge demand for anything kid-related, so somehow a lot of material had to be churned out — with low overhead. Augmented by Asian artists (where animation was more of a cultural staple), they provided just enough explosions and cool colorful things to occupy the kids of the 80s.
don’t confuse the result with the process.

Something tells me a lot of these talks between Mo, Tony & DeWitt has to do with getting rid of a few coaches. Gut feeling is 2 coaches will get the AX….McGwire and McKay…or maybe a shocker…Oquendo! I can see McGwire getting pushed out and Tony taking a week to pout about it but finally giving in. We should know more this week…I hope!

It sounds like Mac might want some time back with family anyway, since his wife just had triplets. Who knows.

I have a feeling it affects contract negotiations more than we realize.

see: Westbrook, Jake (another baby)
