The World Series really doesn't start until Wednesday?

PrintZack Cox and I are not getting off on the right foot. It might be my fault—maybe I didn't get it across clearly enough—but it is the responsibility of all hot-shot Arizona Fall League prospects to give me things to write about between the end of the championship series this weekend and the start of the World Series on Wednesday, and he's making this extremely difficult for the both of us.
2-19 with nine strikeouts? What am I supposed to do with that? It's bad, but the Small Sample Size Agreement of 2000 requires that I not make anything of it. Certainly it's made it a fair bet that any Spring Training intrigue, Mike Leake-style, will be muted at best, which also gives me less to write about in February. It's bad news all around.
So far all this AFL season has given me is a list of the things that might have happened if things had gone differently. Zack Cox, for instance—if he hits .350 and knocks out a few home runs he'd spend Spring Training making David Freese nervous and getting us riled up whenever he takes grounders within fifty feet of second base.
Adron Chambers—he's hitting (an empty) .300 with some stolen bases through five games. If the Cardinals didn't have Jon Jay newly entrenched in the singles-hitting-fourth-outfielder-plays-the-game-the-right-way role he might also prove to be an interesting Spring Training bet in the Emil Brown/Colin Porter role. Now it's going to take a Jon Jay injury at least to rouse the Cardinals fanbase's primordial Whiteyball instincts.
And Pete Kozma... I don't think there's anything Pete Kozma could do to impress or depress at this exact moment, but he's very consciously not doing either one—he, alone, is having a perfectly typical Pete Kozma season, hitting .241/.290/.379 with an error or two. It is not the kind of season to which one would generally like to be adjectivized, but I get the feeling he could make that one his own, given the chance.
Did we talk about the two pre-post-postseason free agent deals? Both of them are vaguely relevant, I think, to the Cardinals' offseason interests. Ted Lilly, three years, $33 million, is chronologically older than Jake Westbrook but he's got young-pitcher's skills, if such a thing exists—his strikeout rate is still high, he still gives up a ton of home runs, and he's as healthy and consistent as most pitchers get.
It's actually the exact same deal Westbrook got, from 2008 to 2010—and considering he spent two-thirds of it on the disabled list I can't imagine him getting a third year in the deal he and the Cardinals are apparently discussing. A second year is probably a fair bet, but when you look at it he's not really got a lot more to recommend him than Brad Penny did a year ago, except that he just missed the 2008 season instead of pitching terribly for most of it. (Which is not to say I'm against the Westbrook deal—as with Penny last year, the Cardinals are in a position where they really have to take the risk.)
Brandon Inge got a two-year, $11.5 million extension from the Tigers, which was a good chance for me to be surprised by his value over the last two seasons. Inge is a much different hitter, but the shape of his value over the last two years is about what we might hope for from David Freese, if he keeps all his limbs together: average or nearly average on offense, a little above-average on defense, somewhere close on either side of two wins. Freese was better, at least in 2010, at least when he could walk; above-average on both offense and defense adds up really quickly.

While scouts believe he can hit, he’s a bad-bodied third baseman with a single-plane swing that’s not conducive to power, and right now he’s the winner of toughest scout quote from the Arizona Fall League so far, with one observer telling me, "I have no idea how you give that guy a big-league deal."

Goldstein wasn't a fan of Cox before the draft
so there’s some background to his comments. I generally like Goldstein but I’m perplexed by the seeming vehemence against Cox.
Silly humans, this world is for robots.
I think it's a function of whichever scouts he's talking to.
If he happens to be talking to scouts that like Zack Cox, then his comments reflect that. If not, we get something like this. KG does his own scouting and opinions occasionally, but almost always defers to what the professional scouts are telling him.
Could Colby Rasmus hit a ball so hard that even he couldn't catch it?

Offseason
I really don’t know what to think about this offseason. The free agent market is so crappy and the Cards have a pretty full roster heading into 2011. Normally, that would mean trades if changes need to be made. However, I am not sure how they do it. The Cards’ tradable pieces are ones they want to keep, and the ones they want to trade are entities that other teams don’t want. Sure, there are a few interesting free agents…Lee, Crawford, Beltre, etc, but we all know they are out of the bidding range. There are some mid-level guys out there like Hudson, Wiggington, Hall, Hinske. There are some former Rockies out there that seem like Coors’ Field inventions. (Hawpe, Atkins) So, where do we go from here? I like some of the potential non-tenders. (Ludwick, JJ Hardy…and the Cards have liked Barmes in the past) Westbrook would be a nice addition, but he doesn’t help the Cardinals offense, baserunning, or defensive fundamentals. Moz has a tough road ahead.
The Cards could fill some spots from their farm system. The Jay\Craig platoon is possible. However, Jay seems to profile a little too close to Skip, and I don’t like Craig’s defense. Descalso is an option at second or third, but how much of an upgrade is he, really? I like the Carpenter kid at third, but he is a year away and seems to lack power. I am not sold on Freese yet, either. It seems like people want to give Freese full credit for his small sample size while discounting others. I know the Cards are talking to Westbrook, but I really believe the club could fill the 5th starter role internally much easier than the lineup holes. Cox is still a little ways away also. I a not worried about his 20 at bat in the AFL, but he will likely need a year or two in the minors before the Cardinals decide to trade him.
Still confused.
How about handin' me another helpin' of those mashed taters...thank you very much!
I think people are giving Freese credit for his small sample size
because that’s the type of player her projects to me. Above average defense . Some power, not a lot.
Just out of curiosity
is that intended merely as an explanation for the optimism, or a defense of it? I was thinking something similar, his brief performance looks something like we could reasonably expect so it seemed more “for real” because of that.
Albert Pujols does not have "down" years. He has "~6 WAR" years.
yes, as a defense of it
His SSS wasn’t that of a superstar, just someone the Cards could use at 3rd for a few years, given that you’ve already got more power elsewhere in your lineup.
And his OBP is certainly solid
Of all sad words of tongue or pen; the saddest are these: 'It might have been!'
...
but he will likely need a year or two in the minors before the Cardinals decide to trade him.
gahh!!
Kyle Lohse has a No-Trade Clause.
Based on reports coming out of AFL
This might not be the worst scenario. It isn’t just that he isn’t hitting; scouts there don’t like Cox very much.

19 at-bats....
i’m gonna have to give him a full year before taking the advice of a scout who got to see him strike out in over 50% of his limited at-bat total
if you saw a guy strike out 9 times out of 19, you’d probably bad-mouth him too I’m guessing…

To me it just says that Cox is the one in need of an accelerated path to the bigs, if he’s going to get there at all in a Cardinals uniform. This is completely consistent with having to sign him to a major-league contract.
Now why they sent Kozma instead of Carpenter … that one baffles me.

old, new, borrowed and blue?
or three variations of ‘old’?
I find myself musing about three: Freese, Luddy, and Westbrook. Because, going backwards, imagine the 2010 season with a full year of all three of them; that is, Freese did not get injured, Ludwick was never traded and it was Westbrook we signed instead of Penny. We would have at least won the division, I think.
And since I like it going backwards, why not like it going forward? And thus root for it to happen.
Realistic? Freese just needs to heal and stay healed; over 3 mil attendance a year tells me we CAN afford Westie, even at 2 yrs @ 16 M (which I muse he would accept because he likes being a Redbird and would accept/be excited about a less-pressured role of 4th starter; maybe the Ludster won’t be let go by the Padres, but if he is it just feels so natural that he would want to come back and that we would want him back .
More ‘reasoning’ on Luddy is that I feel he would produce more the next two years, which is probably all he has in the tank, for US than he would for any other team, and maybe, just maybe, he’s the kind of guy who would like to have a few more impressive campaigns for his ‘career’ sake than to be filthy rich and be a end of career disappointment.
The above said, normally I ama ‘play the kids’ kind of rooter, but these three exceptions to that building for ’11 I like.
Kid-wise, I would like to see us come up with an impressive young catcher, to back up Yadi (more often), like a Posey type, and ditto a MIF (an Andrus type.)
this is more thoughful than my version with the t-shirt cannon.

The upgrade we land this offseason “might” be a corner OF’er, letting Jay be the 4th OF that gets a ton of AB’s.
As much as I’d like to upgrade either 2B or SS, or maybe even 3B, there just isn’t much out there. And I have no idea what OF upgrades might be out there either, I’d just think there might be more of them available then what I’ve seen in the infield.

In an effort to restrict such production, some U.S. states (including Texas) have begun requiring permits to purchase such glassware, including Erlenmeyer flasks, as well as chemicals identified as common starting materials.

brian wilson clips from life of brian on youtube and the official home of the show
apparently the arch is a portal to another dimension – we need to consider the possibility since this theory is coming from a certified genius with iq over 180. oh, and a certified ninja

..i miss ludriguez-wick..
"I still don’t understand what commercial is better than having me on tv" – Chris Carpenter
Is this connected to the fact that
Roy Oswalt has an IQ of 136?

besides, 136 ain’t that impressive
188 on the other hand… boom!
..i miss ludriguez-wick..
"I still don’t understand what commercial is better than having me on tv" – Chris Carpenter
isn't 136 considered near genius level?
Mike Shannon: "That strikeout was brought to you by...by...well, I don't know what it was brought to you by!"

but i think it depends on which measurement or which school of thought.

I thought MENSA
standards were at 160. I could be wrong. I know I’m too stupid to get in.
Baseball's only fun if you're playing it, watching it, or thinking about it.
in case you wanted to know
The term “IQ score” is widely used but poorly defined. There are a large number of tests with different scales. The result on one test of 132 can be the same as a score 148 on another test. Some intelligence tests don’t use IQ scores at all. Mensa has set a percentile as cutoff to avoid this confusion. Candidates for membership of Mensa must achieve a score at or above the 98th percentile on a standard test of intelligence (a score that is greater than that achieved by 98 percent of the general population taking the test).
You teach me baseball and I'll teach you relativity. No, we must not. You will learn about relativity faster than I learn baseball. --Albert Einstein
So, as progressively more and more people take the test, do the lower-scoring members get punted?
Or do they ensure that for every two additional members that get in, another 98 take the test and don’t, so as to ensure the sanctity of their “Top 2%” claim?
I think that's the upper reaches of the test. it might be top 2% percentile
(so I wonder if you kill all the people smarter than you, are you automatically in?
that doesn’t seem very smart.)
fake blockquote from the UK Mensa site
A top 2% mark in any of these frequently used tests below qualifies you for entry to Mensa. The minimum test mark to get into Mensa is:
* Cattell III B – 148
* Culture Fair – 132
* Ravens Advanced Matrices – 135
* Ravens Standard Matrices – 131
* Wechsler Scales – 132
I’ll just pretend I took that test over there.
Lick that shoulder—you're in the doghouse now.
"But listen, and understand: more Molinas are out there..." - THT
the couple tests i've taken score me between 133 and 135
i probably lose a couple of points because the tests were never in my native language
and since i am really not particularly smart, 130 something is for sure not genius

"I still don’t understand what commercial is better than having me on tv" – Chris Carpenter

was “genius” but YMMV as the comments show.

Perez is no Mike MacDougal, but he has a chance.
What does that even mean? That he has a chance to have one near-miraculously lucky season, then be a sub-replacement level pitcher for the rest of his career? Or is it intended to somehow be a postivie statement? I can’t even figure out how the stupidity is manifesting in this instance.

"I still don’t understand what commercial is better than having me on tv" – Chris Carpenter
I hate BJ Rains.
Oh, let’s not talk about how much he walks at ANY point during the article
Of all sad words of tongue or pen; the saddest are these: 'It might have been!'
.
Rasmus led the Grapefruit League in walks for much of the spring and showed much better discipline at the plate.
I didn’t get on base. One time I did (Wednesday) and we scored a run. That shows if I get on base, things can happen - Oilspill
Just spring training, though
He walked a lot during the year, too
Of all sad words of tongue or pen; the saddest are these: 'It might have been!'
i know
I’m just trolling.
I didn’t get on base. One time I did (Wednesday) and we scored a run. That shows if I get on base, things can happen - Oilspill
er wait
Rasmus did have 17 walks in April but the total dropped to 11 in May and just seven in June. The patience he displayed in spring training was nowhere to be found as the strikeouts continued to mount.
Something I pointed out during the season was Colby’s Walk-rate vs Strike-out rate. You can say yeah, he strikes out a lot but he also walks a lot. And that could be true for the hole year. But if you look at game logs you’ll see he’ll go through periods where he either Ks a lot or he walks a lot. You really wont see him doing both. He also had a high rate of called strikes that were actually balls. Which apparently happens a lot to lefties.

There wasn’t one “dingdang” or even an “ol” in that whole article. I doubt he even interviewed Colby.

I thought this was supposed to be Smell the Glove???
Otherwise known as the triumphal comeback album by Spinal Tap (one of Britain’s loudest bands!), it sold very well in Japan I’m told.

Replace hamburger with sausage.
It’d be a bacon covered scotch dog… or something.

hmm perhaps instead of a hotdog a sausage link instead.
maybe instead of hamburger I could dip it in corndog batter and deepfry it and Then warp it in bacon.
I think you should work a Slim Jim in there too.

intriiiiguing.
Umpires Sam Holbrook and Bill Miller will make their World Series debuts Wednesday night in Game 1 between Texas and San Francisco, a person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press this week.
Holbrook and Miller will be joined by veteran umpires John Hirschbeck, Gary Darling, Mike Winters and Jeff Kellogg. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because an official announcement hasn’t been made. link

i'm pretty sure that learning about the umpires of the world series is the opposite of intriguing

the only thing intriguing about umpires is if they make a shit call
historically bad ones (Don Denkinger….) gets extra points….

So to survive my 4 hr night class tonight...
The building my class is in has no internet, so before class I loaded a bunch of tabs of articles I wanted to read—this thread being one of them—and left my browser open, hibernate compy, then open and enjoy! I swear, I nearly laughed out loud so many times reading this thread.
I’m genuinely sad that I missed it happening live. Well done VEB, well done.

I just finished basically the entire Frank Black/Black Francis catalogue – which consists of like 15 albums. There is a shockingly wide range of styles, but most of it rivals the Pixies stuff IMO. This pretty obviously shows to me that he was the real voice behind the Pixies, as Kim Deal’s solo stuff has been kinda crappy. My favorite songs are on his first two albums “Frank Black” and “Teenager of the Year”, but his latest album “NonStopErotik” is excellent. Best songs IMO are Callistan, Adda Lee, Headache, The Man Who Was Too Loud, and The Grindsmen.
Teenager of the Year ftw
and congrats on making it through the whole catalogue, Pixies are my favorite band in the whole world and I haven’t made it through a third of the solo stuff.
