World Series object lesson: Players having good years

ARLINGTON TX - OCTOBER 31:  Tommy Hunter #35 of the Texas Rangers hands a bat back to Edgar Renteria #16 of the San Francisco Giants in Game Four of the 2010 MLB World Series at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington on October 31 2010 in Arlington Texas.  (Photo by Stephen Dunn/Getty Images)

Things do not look good for the Texas Rangers—that was the kind of listless loss that gives me recurring dreams about Jeff Suppan falling over rounding third. Tommy Hunter's an interesting pitcher, or at least an interesting pitcher to be pitching this deeply into the postseason; he was extremely competent in the low minors, rushed through a system without a lot of pitchers in it without ever being very good, and is now a 23-year old pitching basically like Jeff Suppan was as a 35-year-old.

That kind of pitcher rarely shows up on such a good team so young, which shows how abruptly the Rangers have become excellent. His fellows are easier to find on last-place teams—Brad Bergesen, Sean O'Sullivan, Casey Coleman et al. They're not traditional sixth starters, like Blake Hawksworth proved to be for the Cardinals; they're guys who would normally be protected from becoming sixth starters—maybe Lance Lynn a year too early. Hunter wasn't especially bad, but he's not the kind of pitcher who's usually starting game four of a World Series, and it didn't work out in the Rangers' favor. 

But this is a team blog, and the subtext should always be: This is all about us. Like a film student who, watching porn, finds himself wondering why the lighting's all wrong, we must take these last ounces of the baseball season and divine from them some Cardinals-related knowledge. And in this case, I think it's this: It's hard to make the World Series. Most teams that do it are a little lucky.

Look at the means of Tommy Hunter and Company's game four destruction: 

  • Edgar Renteria was 3-4 with a run scored. Edgar Renteria is awesome; the angst I felt when he turned down the Cardinals' contract offer in 2004 was dissipated entirely when the Red Sox turned on him so quickly, and since then I've had the usual fond, vague memories of him as an ex-Cardinal. But he hasn't been average since 2007, when he was great, and he was below replacement level in 2009. This year he was a useful cog in the Giants' infield, and has turned into World Series Edgar Renteria just in time to scorch the Rangers. 
  • Aubrey Huff hit a home run that turned out to be the dagger. Huff is completely impossible to predict at this point in his career—for three years he was The Good Devil Ray, the Nate Colbert of those completely anonymous Dewon Brazelton Era teams. Then he was a guy with old player's skills who got prematurely old, putting up totally average OPSes from 2005-2007 and proving he wasn't a third baseman. Then he turned back into Aubrey Huff in 2008, cratered in 2009, and went back to turning back into Aubrey Huff in 2010. This year Total Zone thinks he was an outstanding outfielder—make of that what you will. The Giants gambled $3 million on him this year, and it paid off. 
  • Andres Torres was 3-5 with a run scored and an RBI. I am not this site's foremost Andres Torres expert, but he has a career minor-league line of .272/.372/.396, and if the change is real the Giants, as I understand it, didn't have a lot to do with turning him into Andres Torres. 
  • Cody Ross, NLCS MVP, was acquired on accident and is now batting fifth and playing left field.

Star-divide

But there's also Madison Bumgarner and Buster Posey. The 2010 Giants strike me as an especially lucky team, having managed to avoid hurting themselves too badly while gaming Posey's arbitration status and discovering two offensive cornerstones out of three on the discard pile, but they've built a formidable rotation and minimized the amount of luck that was necessary to push them over the top, like any other World Series team.

The Cardinals will need a little luck—it would be good to see Kyle Lohse at least be as effective as Barry Zito, and if their middle infield stays the same they'll need a relatively big season from Ryan or Schumaker. And they'll need several players to play at the very top of their abilities where last season Pujols and Molina, for instance, were in the lower part of our expectations.

But they'll need to continue to maintain the center of the team, the windbreak against luck, as well as they have of late. It's as well-defined as any team's in baseball, at this point—it is, and has to be, Pujols, Adam Wainwright, Chris Carpenter, and Matt Holliday. The further out from that point they can build—to Molina and Jaime Garcia, for instance—the less their postseason hopes will be contingent on Miguel Tejada driving in 120 runs.

sounds to me like its a rumor the White Sox are floating

to increase Quentin’s trade value.

They say that it's never too late, but you don't get any younger...

by Valatan on Nov 1, 2010 8:59 AM EDT up reply actions  

The White Sox like Rasmus. Supposedly, the Cardinals like Quentin.

Maybe they discussed something but obviously a 1-1 swap isn’t feasible.

by Daniel Berlyn on Nov 1, 2010 9:11 AM EDT up reply actions  

Why?

They already have Rios and moving either Rasmus or Rios to the corner significantly lowers their value.

Screw you, you freakin stats nerd

by guayzimi on Nov 1, 2010 11:05 AM EDT up reply actions  

Not really

They’re both very valuale fielders, Rios has been great in right before. Their corners guys have been awful defensively in recent years, it would really be quite ideal. You don’t see the Mariners having problems for having multiple plus outfielders. The imaginary value loss you speak of is more than overpowered by having a better team.

Exactly

he’s best off as a DH now. Too many injury and defensive problems, but great offensive upside yet.

I don't even see his offensive upside

Being better than rasmus so we’d be trading a fantastic defensive center fielder with better offensive potential for on of the worst defensive left fielders in baseball who is probably not even a better hitter than rasmus over the next 3 seasons and certainly not over the next 10.

WAR value

Once again I will say that this indicates that WAR is not a great predictor of next year. It is great for telling us past history. Maybe it is best to use on players in the middle of their career and not on young or aging players(I realize they are all aging, but you should know what I mean).

my problem with WAR is using defensive stats that are distorted in sample sizes less than a few years

why even include that? there’s gotta be some better way to include defense in a stat such as WAR

You can use whatever you want

If you want to use 3 yrs of data regressed then that’s an option. Yes you would have to do it yourself, but it’s definitely an option.

I guess I need to learn how to get the offense part of WAR and then customize with my own defensive input

just saying that the leaderboards on the websites could probably be better if they didn’t use one year WAR totals

Agree with your premise on the leaderboards

Getting the Offensive and replacement part isn’t too hard to do on your own.

you could also pull from the site of your choice as most of them break out the components for you. Just pull the Offense, Positional, and Replacement values from F-Graphs or B-Ref, and then sub in a different D.

by stevesommer05 on Nov 1, 2010 5:16 PM EDT up reply actions  

Was thinking about this too

It might be fun to use Tango’s fan scouting reports too. While that’s “tainted” in the sense that the same people who vote on that are also UZR-users (I say that as “Oozer users” in my head by the way) and thus influenced to a degree.

in the defense of Tommy Hunter

i am not saying he was awesome or anything but it seemed like he started the night out like a pitcher normally would and after a couple of innings he realized how small and random the strike zone was so he started throwing a bit more towards the middle and he got got for it
i’m not saying he should be pitching in the WS, but he got squeezed a bit more

Wow

I can’t remember if that particular kind of graph is from the catcher or pitcher’s point or view. Either way, about half of Hunter’s “strike zone” looks pretty much random, like the ump was just guessing.

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

by mattybobo on Nov 1, 2010 10:34 AM EDT up reply actions  

I knew

when I was watching that game that Hunter was getting squeezed and Bumgardner was getting all of both sides of the plates. It was hilarious because McCarver kept man-crushing hard on Bumgardner and once, right after Buck displayed some hesitation in his voice because he got the outside strike and then the inside strike (see the furthest red dot to the right on Bumgardner) and McCarver says “He’s carving tonight.”

I yelled at the screen, “No Tim you idiot, it’s called throw it anywhere within 6 inches of the plate on either side and get the call!” You don’t have to be that great a pitcher when the plate is 24+inches wide.

Shoestring

Just before bedtime a few years back, my three-month-old kitten was making weird noises and I noticed that he had about 3 inches of a shoestring hanging out of his backside. Apparently he had sucked down the entire length and it came out the other end.

Anybody else have a problem

with NFL/NBC having a game last night competing against game 4 of the World Series?

It just seemed like kind of a bully move on the part of the NFL. Like another way to prove their dominance over baseball in current sporting viewership/popularity.

And of course the football game had higher ratings. But I can’t blame the NFL entirely since the NFL knows how to market their sport and entire league where MLB has really dropped the ball on marketing their sport except for a few teams for some time now.
I really hope when Bud steps down MLB finds a commish that can somehow market baseball in an effective way to the younger generation.

fuck this Calc shit is getting on my nerves

anyone with a good idea on how to solve this?
The bending moment M of a beam, supported at one end, at a distance x from the support is given by
 M = w*L*x – 1/2*w*x^2
where L is the length of the beam, and W is the uniform load per unit length. Find the point on the beam where the moment is greatest.

If knowledge is the key, then just show me the lock.

wow
All those Giants fans have been allowed onto the field. What a really nice scene, and how cool of the Rangers. It’s a mass of orange and black out there. Pretty neat. I’m assuming it’s the fans, it looks like it. Unless there are 500 familiy members and Giants employees out there. There’s a distinct lack of credentials, so I hope it’s fans.

There's other Pink Floyd albums, like

A Saucerful of Secrets, which has one of my faves, Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun, and Meddle, which has a long tune called Echoes. Actually, Ummagumma has both Set the Controls…(live version), and another fun one called Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict. Of course, there’s always Tangerine Dream, Jean Michel Jarre and Vangelis.

its too new to be a classic

but Microcastle by Deerhunter is a good one.
But really really like a universally-regarded-in-the-running-for-greatest album-of-all-time classic?
