The World Series

Twenty bucks says the first word Tim Lincecum said after this photo was taken was, "Duuuuuude!"(Photo by Ezra Shaw/Getty Images)

It's the end of the end, the last gasp of a six-month long march through purgatory by hundreds of players and millions of fans, all looking for the path to baseball salvation. The World Series begins tonight with perhaps the one and only pitching matchup that could actually outdo Lincecum vs Halladay.

On one side, you have again the Tiny Tornado of Terror, Tim Lincecum. On the other, the Sultan of Strikes, El Capitan of Control, the Pasty Prince of Precise Pitch Positioning, Cliff Lee. It should be a night to remember as these pitching pugilists go at it for nine rounds in the city by the bay.

 Okay, now that I've done my huckstering for the day, I'm picking the Rangers, and rooting for them as well. I actually like a lot of things about the Giants, but would prefer not to see a lineup composed of Aubrey Huff and Mike Fontenot winning the World Series. It's the sort of justification for stupidity I would prefer to avoid. Plus, I'm a little afraid if the Giants do somehow win it Tony La Russa will have to install windshield wipers on his television. (Just pause and let that image sink in for a moment.) On the other hand, I really admire the way the Rangers have been built from the ground up, and so that's where I'm throwing my allegiance.

Honestly, I don't really have much to say today. With the Series just starting it still feels a little early to me to begin Hot Stove posting in earnest, with the exception of any actual news that happens along. Since there's none of that, I'm just going to leave this thing open. I know it sucks our team met such an ignominious end this season, but there's still baseball being played, and it doesn't involve any of the super-spenders, and Fox is going to be losing its collective mind over the awful, awful ratings. So plenty of stuff to be happy about. So grab a beer, grab a seat, and enjoy the last baseball we'll see for four months.

Ahem.

Albert Pujols does not have "down" years. He has "~6 WAR" years.

by mattybobo on Oct 27, 2010 10:32 AM EDT reply actions  

Also, I feel compelled to defend Aubrey Huff

I’ve seen other people besides RB do this—that is, point out that the Giants’ lineup is full of gritty scrappy players. It looks like “stars and scrubs” without the stars. It is actually less of a stars and scrubs lineup than the Cardinals measuring by Fangraphs WAR. Look at the Giants page and the Cardinals page. The Cards have a higher peak (Pujols and Holliday as opposed to Torres and Huff) but their positions players trail off in 2010 WAR faster than the more-balanced Giants.
Anyway, back to my main point. Yes, a team loaded with Freddy Sanchez-es and Juan Uribes and Aaron Rowands does make one fear that Tony will see that success and start calling up MO demanding MOAR MEDIOCRE VETRANS PLZ!1, but Aubrey Huff doesn’t deserve to be part of this complaint, not this year. He was worth almost 6 wins this year by FG WAR. He hit for a .388 wOBA and was worth something like 6 runs runs in the field. The guy had an awesome year. He, Torres, and Posey were legitimately kick ass in 2010.
Also, this picture from his SBN page is hilarious:

You misunderstand my objection to Huff, Monsieur Bobo.

Aubrey Huff was, bizarrely enough, a beast this season. The issue isn’t that he wasn’t good this year, it’s that there was really absolutely nothing in his track to recommend him for this kind of season. He’s a wily veteran but has been pretty much terrible for several years now. Him lucking into a 6 WAR season is the offensive equivalent of Kent Bottenfield’s 1999, which is to say there was absolutely no reason to bet on such a performance. And while that may make for a nice story, it’s pretty much pure luck for the Giants and their GM, and there’s a part of me that wants to believe good design should overcome flukey luck every time.

Plus, seeing Huff have a brilliant season out of nowhere fills my head with terrifying visions of the Cards betting on 34 year olds who were barely better than replacement level the previous four years.

Semper fidelis tyrannosaurus!

by the red baron on Oct 27, 2010 11:19 AM EDT via mobile up reply actions  

I think it's more likely that it's the defensive equivalent

This is the third time he’s had a wOBA over .380. And actually, he was pretty darn good in 2008, but I kinda overlooked how bad his most recent years have really been. Ah well.
But I understand your point better now. It’s definitely true that one shouldn’t expect a season like this again, but I don’t think it’s crazy to expect him to have one or two years like this in his career. He’s had a few years around 4 WAR, I think. Anyway, I always kinda liked Aubrey Huff since he can clearly hit under the right circumstances, so I think it’s cool to see him succeed.
And no, I don’t want the Cardinals to try to acquire him. Bad Tony, bad!

"Shankill Butchers"

Great song. In baseball related comments, I’m rooting for the Rangers, mostly for the Josh Hamilton factor. I remember seeing him on one of those “Flip Those House” home improvement shows a couple of years ago and watching his life – as edited for television – become reoriented to baseball after years of addiction and recovery. He was signed to minor league team by the house flipper guy who also owned part of the team… Actually, that house flipper was in the audience during Hamilton’s ESPN Oprah-like “Hometown” special about his life. It was inspiring when he was back in the majors playing for Reds, and amazing now that he’s where he is on the Rangers (especially after the Rangers dumped A-Rod and Tex due to salary). Plus, the Rangers have that Molina brother connection. And Nolan Ryan. Go Rangers.

I’m rooting for the Giants, and hard. I went to their park in May and loved it, I love the young pitching, I love that they got a group of scrubs to the Series and I absolutely love San Francisco.

I think it’s highly likely the Rangers win it, but don’t discount the Giants – they seem to have a sort of 2006 Cardinals vibe to them.

Rangers built from the ground up?

Aren’t almost all their players from trades and free agency?

Ok so to see if I was right I checked BR. Looks like the only 2 position players with a positive WAR on the 2010 Rangers that were drafted and brought up through the farm are Ian Kinsler (3.2) and Mitch Moreland (0.4)

Among all other plus WAR position players, Hamilton, Cruz, Young, Andrus, Blanco, Murphy, Francoeur all from trades. Vlad was brought in via free agency.

Among pitchers, Lee, Colby Lewis and Neftali Feliz were all brought in. Only Wilson and Hunter have had much impact from the farm.

That said, I love their team anyway. It’s a Walt Jocketty team all the way.

Another thought

I’d even say that the other ways weren’t working for the Rangers and they are only advancing now because they traded for better talent.

Someone posted a link yesterday to this article. New Owner, Chuck Greenberg is even quoted as saying,

“We can’t control what the Yankees or any other club chooses to offer. We know we’re going to have to be aggressive financially. We’re not going into this with a pea shooter. The old Rangers are gone.”

To me that reads, “we give up trying to grow a winning team, we’re now going to try to spend to keep up”.

"The old Rangers are gone." (?)

You mean the organization that spent $250MM on A-Rod? I’m confused, Mr. Greenberg.

That's what I was going to say too.

It’s the same debate people have about Wainwright. Elvis Andrus spent multiple seasons in the Rangers system before being called up — is he a Braves prospect or a Rangers prospect? Personally, I don’t associated players with affiliate teams until they reach AA. Below that and there’s so much attrition and projection that it’s hard to say they weren’t still like a draft pick.

Silly humans, this world is for robots.

That's a fair point

I watched Andrus play in Frisco a few years back. He was the real deal.

I guess my point is people sometimes give Walt crap but were his teams any less home grown that these Rangers? I doubt it. And I’m not complaining either way, it’s all about winning.

by paposse on Oct 27, 2010 1:35 PM EDT up reply actions  

I think there is a tendancy to want to give an organization credit for identifying talent pre-draft and drafting it.

I understand this mindset. I find myself doing it, too. What I think folks can forget is that clubs often have identified players pre-draft, want to draft them, but then another club snatches them up with an earlier pick. Identifying low-minors talent is just as important a skill as identifying amateur talent. I think clubs who do this and wind up getting good talent in return when they trade a big-leaguer are just as worthy of praise.

Yeah, identifying minor leaguers in trades counts as "home grown" in my book

It’s mostly about cost control. That’s the main point of going with youth, isn’t it? There are also injury risks to think about, maybe some intangible stuff like “hunger” and the benefit of having a “hometown guy” rather than a “well-paid mercenary” (although plenty of mercenaries are known for being “clubhouse guys”, it’s all very complex).
Basically, there is trading for vets and signing them as free agents on one side, and bringing guys up from the minors on the other, it’s not as important to me who drafts the player in the first place.

Albert Pujols does not have "down" years. He has "~6 WAR" years.

To defend the Jocketty era Cards a bit here. . .

isn’t identifying which of your minor leaguers are overrated a skill, too?

This was the Braves modus operandi with respect to pitchers for years and years and years (really, until the Wainwright trade IMHO).

It was a skill that with a couple of notable exceptions Walt Jocketty enjoyed, too.

From the earlier thread, FreeRedbird posted some interesting stats regarding Big Mac's tenure as hitting coach:
Last week, I posted an article about overall offensive(and defensive) performance of Cardinals batters on my blog.
Link (Alert : It is written in Korean and google translator is very sloppy in translating Korean into English.)

I did the same thing last year, so I compared this year’s performance with last year’s, especially in the way of plate discipline.

2009 —> 2010

Pitch/PA 3.66(15th most in NL) —> 3.76(13th most in NL)
Swing% 48%(2nd most in NL) —> 46.8%(4th most in NL)
O-Swing% 26.8%(2nd most in NL) —> 29.6%(9th most in NL)
Swing Strike% 9.4%(4th most in NL) —> 8.2%(13th most in NL)
K% 19%(3rd least in NL) —> 18.5%(best in NL)
BB% 8.8%(12th in NL) —> 8.7%(7th in NL)

wOBA .325(8th in NL) —> .321(7th in NL)

After a quick n’ dirty look, It seems like Cardinals batters, as a group, have become relatively more patient and selective hitters in the league. In this year, they saw more pitches, hacked less and drew more BBs than last year. There was no drastical change in their lineup between 2009 and 2010. Does Big Mac deserve some credit for these positive changes?

I really have no idea what effect a hitting coach has...

it always seemed to me (with real no good reason) that they could effect:

1st pitch swings/takes
general gameplan for specific pitchers
general approach for fringe/young hitters
who fanbases blame when the offense disappoints.

It also seemed to me (also with no good reason) that only the last one was substantial.

Can anyone enlighten me?

Well what the data above does is correlate team-wide hitting factors to a change in hitting coach.

Obviously there are tons of other factors that go into this relationship, and none of them have been controlled for, but it’s a pretty interesting list and it doesn’t look cherry-picked.

Updated - wOBA index very slightly increases

Did it myself using the NL Fangraphs numbers, averaging the 16 wOBAs. Index is calculated as “Cardinals wOBA / NL League Average wOBA”. Quick and dirty results:

2009:
NL League Average wOBA: .323
Cardinals wOBA: .325
Index: 100.5

2010:
NL League Average wOBA: .318
Cardinals wOBA: .321
Index: 100.9

In other words, a slight slight slight increase in wOBA. Probably significant is you assume overall league PAs as your base size.

Also I urge any AZ residents to try to make it to Chris Carpenter’s AFL league jersey being retired on the 12th or 13th (I’ll have to check the exact date).

Best of both worlds: Great baseball with only a handful of fans (all of which usually know there stuff, and none of the idjuts you run into at normal games which is true with every sport), and Carpenter live getting honored. This is the best chance some may have of getting an autograph or for those crazier female fans, physically assaulting him.

I've said this before. . .

but I think it bears repeating. In many ways, I think this is more (or at least as much) about a player’s makeup than it is about his game.

So long as a player has skills that are advanced enough that he can hold his own at a level, the learning opportunities that failure presents are more conducive to development than learning to dominate a level, again so long as the player is one for whom little failure ae not demoralizing.

See I'm of the opinion that pitchers' at ticking time bombs that could suffer a career injury at any moment.

Also, they definitely peak earlier than hitters for that reason, and the fact that they lose velocity when they get older. I would rather promote a pitcher aggressively and let him have his best years in the majors, even if it does risk a little Ankielcitis.

So, despite RB's premise

(that it’s too early to really start the hot stove talk), and in order to, maybe, prep us for tonight’s game, let’s discuss potential Westbrook contracts.

What do you expect he could get?
What should the Cards offer?
At what price/years should Mo say no?

Personally, I think he could probably get more going to FA, but I would be happy with the Cards offering him something like 2 years at $15-16M (total, not per year). Maybe a club option for a third year if it takes that to seal the deal.

my guess is that if you were in municipal court in STL, it would be granted.

now if you were in court in, say, tampa, they would not only deny the motion, they would probably seek to have you committed because it would all sound like crazy talk.

copypasta from some drug thread
My rented research assistant has completed his research. I will refer to him as Swim for the rest of this report. Swim gave this his highest 5 star rating.

body weight & gender
-90.7184 kg Male
dose taken Approximately
-1mg
route of administration
- Vaped from aluminum foil covered Bong bowl/Stem (Appearance of an —upside down bowl with a foil cap).
Setting: in what environment it was taken.
-comfortable family room
duration of main effects
-1.5 hours
main effects
-Very significant head buzz with mild body buzz.
side effects
-Mild Appetite increase, marked increase in sexual appetite
after effects
-None noticed but the buzz lingers at this hour. No negative after effects are anticipated given current condition.
rating of the experience
-Swim was pleased how close the experience compared to high quality cannabis
addictive qualities / abuse potential
-Hard to say with limted data.
any other valuable information
-Swim reported a complete lack of anxiety. In fact there was the opposite effect.
the comfortable in your own skin index was very high. Swim was ripped the first 45 minutes to an hour the familar “everythings funny and strange” feeling was powerful but not the feeling of out of control paranoia that “everyone can tell”. Instead Swim
reported an entertaining feeling of who cares who can tell lets have fun. The most important observation was Zero couch lock or anxiety, which Swim noted common with JWH-018.

The 1mg amounted to about a dozen shiney crystals and produced a suprising about of plume. The method of administration traps nearly if not all of the vaped product.

The plume was tested at administration +3 seconds and when it was noted medium to heavy the remainder was expelled quickly since this was a first time out and the plume was heavier than expected.

In summary Swim reports an intense and pleasant experience he grades this product as excellent in quality, form, and function. This product can easily stand alone without any blending what-so-ever. Unlike JWH-018 which Swim refuses to do research on unless cut 20 percent to 80 percent JWH-250. (which he is starting to feel is a ruin of perfectly good 250 with the anxiety JWH-018 introduces).

On the other hand Swim feels RCS-4 would complement JWH-250 nicely.
