Odds & Ends
While I found the doomsday attitude from pundits after the Cliff Lee loss to be absurd, it should appear even more so after last night. Does it help to have great front of the line starting pitching? Sure. Is it crucial? Not really. We're working with such small sample sizes that even bad teams have a decent shot. Colby Lewis and Mitch Moreland took care of business in game three. The Rangers have to win 3 of the next 4 games. From August 22-24, the Rangers won four games with bookend losses attributed to Cliff Lee.
This is anyone's series.
I parsed a mostly ingratiating and ego stroking unicorn chat from this week. There was, in my estimation, one intriguing paragraph regarding organizational changes:
I'm not going into all the gory details again. I've addressed them periodically in the P-D the last few years and then been portrayed as Satan by many within the organization for shedding light on issues within what has achieved almost religious status. Let's see: The club last month restructured its front office to place day-to-day control of the minor leagues under John Vuch. (Jeff Luhnow remains vice-president.) As part of his return to the club, Dave Duncan will have much greater influence on what is going on within the system. The shift of Gary LaRocque from scouting to player development is also a very significant move. LaRocque, former special assistant to Mozeliak, will serve as Vuch's "muscle," making sure that standardized instruction is implemented throughout the system. The concept of "Perfect Mechanics," an irritant to Duncan and numerous others within the system, is being dissolved. Rather than remaining transfixed on minor-league records (the Cardinals led the industry in minor-league win percentage last season), greater emphasis will be placed on development. Yes, bullpen coach Marty Mason was sacked in part because of his outspoken dissent about what was taking place in the system. Ironically, many of the changes recently implemented are in response precisely to those concerns.
It's to bad that JoJo got his fweelings hurt, because the reporting on the front office is generally good and accurate. Let's hit the important parts here: 1) Dave Duncan has greater influence on the minors and 2) "Perfect Mechanics" goes away. It's hard to read between the pot shots about being transfixed on minor league records (a laughable claim) and LaRocque being muscle (as opposed to simply another set of eyes) but the two items I've listed are important.
I'm strongly on the side that Dave Duncan having greater influence on the minors is a bad thing. Duncan is not a flexible pitching coach. The Cardinals tailor acquisitions to Duncan because they know that if they find the right kind of player, a la Jake Westbrook, there's a lot that Duncan can do with them. These kids in the minors don't all fit Duncan's philosophy and approach. Some of the best prospects in the system don't. These players are going to get left behind if they revert to a dogmatic approach to pitching in the minors. This is part of the disconnect between having a good system in the minors and TLR/DD as the coaching staff. The Cardinals have decided they're willing to continue that disconnect for various reasons.
The perfect mechanics storyline is one that hasn't been hit on as much. It was just as flawed as the two-seamer approach that pre-dated it. The Cardinals have to find a degree of flexibility to allow unusual or simply different players to thrive in their system. The lines seem so entrenched between aspects of the front office that the pendulum swings from one dogma to another instead of a happy medium. Cynically, portions of the front office staff could simply be waiting out Dave and Tony given their age but the optimum solution would be finding away to incorporate their benefits with those of the analytical group and Jeff Luhnow.

Dear GDM -- Please skip this section for your own sanity.
The news yesterday was that the White Sox were "targeting" Colby Rasmus in trade talks. At first glance, there was nothing that jumped out at me as implausible until I read the White Sox end of that package: Carlos Quentin. He might be one of the worst fielders in the game of baseball. He's put himself up there with the likes of Brad Hawpe and Adam Dunn as multiple defensive metrics have routinely hated his defense for the past two years. Add to that the fact that he's not a cheap cost controlled player and a Rasmus-Quentin Swap makes zero sense.
That's not to say the White Sox don't have other bullets in the chamber. If the conversations were to progress, the Cardinals would have to at least consider guys like John Danks, who was reborn after learning the cutter, and Tyler Flowers, their offensively minded catcher who is set to take over for AJ Pierzynski next year. The White Sox have some intriguing players in the lower minors that could become toss ins so, if the Cardinals are going to trade Rasmus, I wouldn't discard out of hand the White Sox as a match.
The difficulty here is that when you're talking about Rasmus, most of the prognoses are that there's still room for growth in his baseball skills & polish. There's still room for a 4 WAR player to get better. John Danks is a great pitcher but I'm not sure you look at him to be more than 4 WAR going forward. Tyler Flowers is a very good catching prospect but the jury is still out on how good he'd be. It's hard to find a match where the Cardinals get someone with superstar potential in return. Like him or hate him, that's what Colby Rasmus is.
Carlos Quentin though, that's just not a player we should even want. Much less as a return on Rasmus. (MLBTR - Trade Story; Joe Strauss - Rejection Tweet)
As a warning, don't expect Strauss to float Rasmus rumors with a strong understanding of what the team should expect back. From his chat:
Joe Strauss: Atlanta is interested in Raz'. Prado is a steep price. However, the parts are there for an expanded deal between the two organizations.
A steep price for the Cardinals who should be looking for more than just Prado in that deal. If you're looking for the most likely destination for Rasmus, I'd say Atlanta is the town you should be placing bets on.

My efforts to dismiss and ignore all this "possible Rasmus trade" nonsense
is becoming more difficult.
Actually I’m exaggerating. It’s probably healthy for a team to have few, if any, truly “untouchable” players. Who knows what kind of deal could theoretically be reached that would benefit the team. But that said, I still think it’s not likely that Rasmus gets traded. The organization, in my opinion, would really have to get a fantastic offer to pull the trigger. I don’t just mean they should have this standard, this is how I think they are actually looking at the situation.
That said, anybody care to guess what the likelihood of a trade is? I would put it at something like 10% to 15%. Unlikely, but you never know.
Basically, I’m not even asking if it’s a good thing to trade him, or what would be a fair return, or a likely return. Just how seriously this is all being taken by the people who make the decisions.
Albert Pujols does not have "down" years. He has "~6 WAR" years.
My efforts *are* becoming more difficult.
Blah!
Albert Pujols does not have "down" years. He has "~6 WAR" years.
I'd say it's highly likely...
when TLR doesn’t like a guy not named Brendan, that guy is out. They just don’t care about the value that we see in Rasmus. They don’t care that Prado is into his arb years. They’re going to trade a nickel for three pennies until we sink to the level of the Astros.
Screw you, you freakin stats nerd
feels like all of my comments are
complaining about Rasmus getting traded…it’s just that it frustrates me so much that we can’t have Rasmus slugging dingers, drawing walks, and ranging all over the outfield because TLR.
Now, in my highly scientific manner, I’d say there’s a 99% chance he’s traded.
by infallibleopiniongenerator on Oct 31, 2010 2:26 PM EDT up reply actions
Not sure I understand...
Rasmus to the White Sox since they already have an above average center fielder signed into 2014.
As for the Braves, Tommy Hanson has to be the return. Prado is already into his arbitration years.
Screw you, you freakin stats nerd
If we were to trade Colby
Would we have Jay in CF and Craig in RF? Seems like we’d need a good MF bat and a very good P prospect in return at a minimum. Then we could move Skip back to the OF.
I have to agree with Guayzimi that TLR’s return enhances the trade chances, but it is still a bit hard to imagine.
skip as 4th or 5th outfielder might be all right
if he hits better. he’s turning into another aaron miles

I don't see Rasmus getting traded....
5% chance or less. Assuming the Cards are worried about finances (which was much of the discussion about trading Ludwick, the Pujols contract, etc, etc.), then it becomes very, very difficult to trade Rasmus without substantially increasing payroll. Only way to do it would be to trade for another young star and/or high-end ML-ready prospects. Not saying it’s impossible for that to happen, but it’s rare to swap multiple young stars/potential stars.
In any event, the Cards’ window to win is now, and there isn’t much financial flexibility. Young, cheap, improving, productive players like Rasmus are especially valuable to the Cards this season.
by Willie McGee's Twin on Oct 31, 2010 12:12 PM EDT reply actions
not mutually exclusive
I don’t want them to trade Rasmus, and I don’t think they will, although if they did I wouldn’t be shocked. There, that’s enough qualifiers, I think.
But I do think that whatever they do or do not do with Rasmus will reflect directly on their intentions with Pujols, for the reasons you and WMT stated.
In other words, if they do trade Rasmus and get a “win now” package in return, I’d say Pujols’ days are numbered. Or, if they keep Rasmus, or trade in return for a prospect laden package, then I would say a Pujols’ extension of epic proportions is in the works.
I understand the well-founded arguments for possibly trading Pujols at some point, or just simply failing to re-sign him, but seeing him play for another team would hurt my soul, unless it’s the Marlins, in which case I would just be amused.

great article az
maybe Danks AND Flowers would be ok, plus another prospect. Rasmus could be a 5+ WAR cost controlled player going forward, why trade him right when it appears he is going to get really good?
this is starting to seem like Strauss’ new journalistic trick to get attention. one trick unicorn

If you were a young player...
would you really sign an extension with the Cardinals right now?
Screw you, you freakin stats nerd
I would, but that's just because I'm an actual fan of the team
to Colby the Cardinals are just his employers.
/ also I would hate to extend him after his inevitable 7 WAR season then try to extend him.
i, too, would hate to try and sign Colby twice
If knowledge is the key, then just show me the lock.
Got the scrawny legs but I move just like Lou Brock.
This is part of the disconnect between having a good system in the minors and TLR/DD as the coaching staff. The Cardinals have decided they’re willing to continue that disconnect for various reasons.
What does this mean, Azru? Are you saying that having Tony and Duncan prevent us from having a good system?
If knowledge is the key, then just show me the lock.
Got the scrawny legs but I move just like Lou Brock.
TLR and DD in the major league coaching staff
and the current front office player development system make for a disconnect between the coaching and instruction in the minors and the majors. What they’re trying to remedy with Vuch’s promotion was to have Luhnow do more with the selection and Vuch streamline the coaching to be more in line with the big league club. I’m not placing the entirety of the disconnect on the shoulders of TLR/DD but they are half of this tango.
Silly humans, this world is for robots.
Please, please, just say no.
This from Rotoworld:
The Cardinals are interested in Miguel Tejada, according to the Chicago Tribune’s Phil Rogers.
Tejada made $6 million this past season while batting .269/.312/.381 overall with 15 home runs and 71 RBI, including .268/.317/.413 in 235 at-bats after joining the Padres. Padres GM Jed Hoyer said earlier this month that he would “love” to re-sign Tejada.
C’mon, Hoyer, you KNOW you want him!

especially scary is...
he’s a type A:
If the Cardinals were to move quickly to try to sign Tejada before San Diego has to make the decision whether or not to offer him arbitration, the Cards would automatically forfeit their first-round draft pick next June, tentatively #22 overall.
and we can’t afford to do that...

but can we convince MO to let tony create a new coaching position… the “Playing the Game the right way” coach and have him slot miles into…. that way we know he can’t pinch hit, start @ 3B, or taking 20th inning pitching duties away from boog?

if he waits to do it until...
after San Diego somehow decides that they don’t want to offer Tejada arb… then I’d be alright with it. But I somehow don’t see SD thinking that the risk of him accepting and sticking around for an extra year being that big of a sticking point to them.

I would prefer a slightly more under the radar
signing of Edgar Renteria… Bring him home again….
I know its still somewhat nonsensical and it probably is a manifestation of my irrational love of the player, but he’s younger while still being essentially the same player on defense with a slightly lower WAR last season (1.0 to 1.8) and having a higher OBP last year. I think in terms of “fit” he works just as well if not better than what Tejada does. I think we would do well to get his .276/.332/.374 line spread among ~300 – 400 PAs at 2b/3B/SS mostly in the number two slot in front of Albert.
I think a roster matrix that includes he and a (hopefully healthy Mather) on the bench with helps shore up 3B.

..i miss ludriguez-wick..
"I still don’t understand what commercial is better than having me on tv" – Chris Carpenter
From the article that includes that pic...
I don’t mind taking a flyer on an innings-eater like Wellemeyer for the fifth spot in the rotation. It’s a low-risk, low-reward proposition. It was a fantastic offseason to look for fifth starter options. In isolation, I can make an argument for Wellemeyer. But I’m underwhelmed.
I don’t mind taking a chance on a player like Aubrey Huff, even if he was awful last year. It’s a medium-reward, medium-risk proposition. In isolation, I can make an argument for Wellemeyer. But I’m underwhelmed.
I could do this with every roster move of the offseason, but you get the point. Underwhelmed. After I look at the collection of moves made by the Giants this offseason, I think, really? Was this the plan? I can’t picture anybody gathering a front office staff together in early November and saying, “Pounce on Sanchez before anyone tries to swoop him up. Sign Huff, DeRosa, Uribe, a NRI fifth-starter option or two, and call it a day.”
They should have asked.

That was the main piece of advice I had for him when he was in the slump and pressing.

My reasons for rooting for the rangers
1. Josh Hamilton’s success means the cubs/reds/rays will have to weep on their mistakes.
2. post-teixeira era is what I’m looking for from the cards post-pujols era
3.I just don’t root for any other NL team, sorry but only one holds my heart.
4.Nolan Ryan
5.small payroll
6.Cliff Lee

except Tex is not close to Pujols' ridiculosity.

ya i wouldn't trade colby for hamilton, jay sure, but not colby
All I've got is a broken heart, memories & dreams that I can't drink away
they both are kind of china dolls
but since hamiltons pushing 30 & Colby’s not, plus he’s not about to get a big pay check like hamiltons going to get, i’ll stick with Colby
All I've got is a broken heart, memories & dreams that I can't drink away
hamilton still has 3 cost controlled years left over colby's 4
not sure waiting for for colby’s prime is as valuable as already having hamilton in his prime.
Projections yo
2011
Hamilton 6.5WAR
Rasmus 3.8 WAR
2012
Hamilton 6.3 WAR
Rasmus 4.5 WAR
2013
Hamilton 5.4 WAR
Rasmus 6 WAR
2014
Rasmus 6.5 WAR
even with my crummy projections I’ll just assume hamilton will be in his prime at the end of his service time where colby will just be entering it.
/excluding a very friendly extension I’ll take Hamilton.
crap, i thought this was hammy's last cost controlled yr
how is that even possible?
All I've got is a broken heart, memories & dreams that I can't drink away
yeah, yeah , yeah
I dun goofed
still if the extra year of hamilton were there I’d take him.
since it’s not
4 years of colby> 2 years of hamilton.
I'd take Moreland over Pujols...
Pujols’ surplus value is about three war at this point.
Screw you, you freakin stats nerd
I'm worried Pujols is about to become...
an A-Rod sized millstone… and we can’t handle $200 million in dead money. That could cause a lost decade.
Screw you, you freakin stats nerd
big risk to take on two giant contracts like lego's and pujols'
exactly why we need a strong minor league system. I’d be interested in knowing the kind of return we could get from players like
Carp
Pujols
Franklin
who have a year left.
See I don't think...
having both contracts on the books is really a big deal. $115 million is chicken feed compared to what Pujols will get. And we’re already under $100 million owed to Holliday with at least two more good/great seasons virtually assured.
Pujols is over 30, has a bum elbow, and he’s going to earn at least twice what Holliday is making.
