Printoh , sweet manna from writer's block heaven! please, please let the cardinals continue to make moves of . . . well, maybe not earthshattering import, but at least of interest on friday afternoon/evenings!
the club last night put the finishing touches on the 40-man roster in advanceof the midnight deadline. stavinoha, daryl jones, adam ottavino, and steve hill got booted off. arizona fall league hero tony cruz and blake king were added.
i think each move makes sense in its own right.
first off, the demotion of nick stavinoha is a happy event. nick was first promoted in 2008 on the basis of good offensive numbers in aaa. behind a good slugging percentage were some signs of a one-dimensional player whose skills would not translate well to the majors, however. nick had, for instance, a poor walk rate. even at the time of his promotion he was getting old for aaa. he is now 28. older players like that sometimes show an inflated slugging percentage that will not translate to the majors.
nick's other big problem was defensive. nick was really an okay 1b who got stuck in the outfield corners without really being good enough to field there (or, for that matter, hit there). in one somewhat inspired moment of wishful thinking, someone thought to try to teach him to catch. the experiment did not pan out. he rarely caught in the minors. i don't believe he caught even an inning of an mlb game. sometime this season, the team spoke of maybe putting nick at third after freese's injury. that should have been grounds to drug test the whole coaching staff. it would be easier to list the players on the team who were less qualified to play third than nick was. saner or soberer heads prevailed, and nick did not see time at third in 2011. at this age, nick doesn't have much chance of improvement. he seems to be a sub-replacement value outfielder, on a club with lots of outfielders. the only argument for his continued presence on the roster was that he - with craig - was one of a very few right handed of options. your handedness doesn't matter much when you can't hit from either side, though. nick's demotion is a healthy sign for the club.
another offense-first player who dabbled at catcher, steve hill had somewhat more success. however, almost no one seems to think he can be a starting or backup catcher. more realistically, he could be a 1b/left fielder who happens to be an emergency catcher. steve hill would make some sense for a club like the phillies who have a leftie 1b with a big platoon split. the phils will likely never platoon their $25m man, but they should. hill would be a good low-cost matt stairs who could, as a third emergencycatcher, make a manager feel a little bit more comfortable in pinch hitting his backup catcher. hill could be an interesting player to an al team or to an nl team that could find a place on the diamond to play him. it seems like a long-shot that he'd get picked in the rule 5 draft. moreover, it's not clear he has a long-term role with the cardinals. risking losing him is just not a big risk to us.
adam ottavino is a very interesting player. he began to sort things out just before his injury. if he rebounds from injury, he could be a decent bullpen, or even rotation piece. still, his injury will likely scare any suitors away.
i am not yet ready to give up on daryl jones, but it's very hard to see anyone taking him in the draft and keeping him, the year after he was the fourth or fifth best outfielder in springfield. moving him off the roster seems like a safe gesture.
tony cruz was moved onto the 40-man, which makes me feel better. after the bigger move onto the roster last week, cruz's name was the one i was missing (count me marginally nervous about tommy pham). i keep thinking cruz is really going to surprise the org - and he's doing it now in surprise, az - and become a real catching prospect. i hope he keeps it up in 2011.
blake king had a good 2010, but i am not yet on the king bandwagon. there are worse people to protect, but he may be next year's tyler norrick, too. he still seems much more fringy a prospect than, say, reifer. relievers deal in such small sample sizes, even a full minor league season has a ton of noise in it.
still, the club pruned a lot of dead wood from the roster. the moves on the whole are much better than other pre-deadline moves. paying at a reasonable rate for westbrook, and carrying a roster with no pagnozzi, stavinoha, or shane robinson into the draft reaffirms that we are not completely asleep at the wheel.
the bad news is, of course, that we are saving those four open roster spots for aaron miles, willie bloomquist, randy flores, and kelly stinnett. i keed, i keed! maybe.

why leave 4 spots open now? keeping bombs woild cost, basically, nothing
I may be in a rut, but at least I know where I'm going
...to DFA TLR
one for a MIF acquisition
one for another starter/swingman acquisition
2 for flexibility/rule V draft

i literally laughed out and loud
sometime this season, the team spoke of maybe putting nick at third after freese’s injury. that should have been grounds to drug test the whole coaching staff.
I'm not as sanguine
about taking Hill off the 40-man. But I understand the reasoning. I still think he’s got some value, and hope he sticks with the organization…
I'm in the exact same boat
I was more excited about him just cause I have the same last name and wanted to get his jersey.

Does the list maybe include AAA rule 5?
There is such a thing, correct? I’m pretty sure I recall the Cards picking up someone during the minor league or AAA portion of the draft. Anyone know what the distinction is? Fewer years or x # of years on the AAA roster?

Is anyone surprised Brandon Dickson didn't get added?
He had a pretty good year in Memphis. I am also surprised about Pham and don’t like Hill getting the boot. Isn’t Hamilton on the 40 man? I would much rather have added Pham or kept Hill.

I was, too.
Brandon dickson has improved his strikeout rate every year(up to 7.4K/9 in 2010), while managing to control walk rate(under 3 BB/9) with very strong groundball tendency. I don’t get why he is not protected.
Mark Hamilton has posted excellent numbers 2 consecutive years in AAA. His problem is to stay healthy.

the problem is where does Hamilton fit?
Plus he’s not exactly a young prospect. I just don’t see the value in protecting him over Dickson.

Pittsburgh DFA'd Duke and LaRoche
The idea of picking up Pirate cast a ways isn’t the most appealing thing I know, but…
I have had an eye on LaRoche since his days in the Dodger org. I would not mine the Cards finding a spot for him behind Freese and maybe he could be right handed bench bat. I hear he is not bad with a glove either so if Freese went down we at least have a glove at third. Lastly the ole’ change or scenery thing might be what he needs. Leaving a joke of an organization and joining a professional outfit might be get him back on track.
Duke might be a nice addition the pen and who knows he could add some depth to the rotation as well. In both cases there doesn’t seem to be must risk.
i remember when we all wanted to trade for LaRoche back when he was a Dodger
might at least be insurance?

I think they are worth a chance, only if they're signed to minor league deals.
Take a look at them in ST, and if they preform well and there is room for them on the ML roster, fine, add them to the 25 man roster. If not, keep them at AAA for a while as insurance for Freese and Lohse.
I’m not big on LaRoche, but he would at least bridge the gap between Freese and Carp/Cox. Duke, I’m pretty interested in, and feel that Duncan and a better defense backing him, could help the guy out quite a bit. I wouldn’t mind seeing him in a long relief role and filling a rotation spot when needed. I would rather see Duke take a spot start than Lynn right now, as I feel Lynn is still a half season or more away.

no and yes...
Laroche has put up awful numbers for a few years…
Duke however would be a good fit for the lefty/swingman spot.

by infallibleopiniongenerator on Nov 20, 2010 1:25 PM EST up reply actions
I'd like to see us take a stab at both players.
Andy Laroche appears to be an average 3B defender with decent plate discipline (career BB/K of .60) who is FREE. Laroche is probably as good as David Freese going into next season. Freese undoubtedly has more power, but Laroche plays better defense and strikes out less and hasn’t had twelve ankle surgeries. Laroche’s problem is some combination of horrible luck and swing problems: His career BABIP is .252 over 1200 plate appearances. He hits too many grounders and too many infield flies and doesn’t have a lot of power, but even as a below average hitter he is still a valuable player and could still be the second best hitter in an infield that consists of Pujols, Laroche, Yadi, Schu, and Ryan.
Zach Duke is a better pitcher than Blake Hawksworth, Dennys Reyes, Mike sMacdougal, and Jeff Suppan. He continues to post ground ball rates that qualify him near the top 25 pitchers in the league and his 2010 line was influenced by a .347 BABIP and a HR rate half a HR higher than his career average. He is probably a more effective fifth starter than Lohse and his xFIP against lefties is 3.85 so he can probably relieve for us until an inevitable Lohse injury recurrence happens. The only problem is that he will probably actually want money, something I don’t think we should give him. If he happens to be available at league minimum, he is a definite pickup, but if he receives $4M from someone we should go ahead and pass.
"What exactly is that thing? A pessimism meter?" - Bruce McCurdy
correct me if I'm wrong, but
doesn’t a higher BABIP AND an inflated HR rate just give evidence to the fact that he was just bad last year and not unlucky?
He gave up more HR than usual, AND still managed to give up more hits on BIP than average. So it wasn’t as if normal fly balls and doubles were flying out of the park, he was just giving more hits around the board: HRs and balls in play.
I’m for giving him a shot at a ST invite, but i’m not sure about the idea that he was just unlucky last year. A better defense would definitely reduce his BABIP though. And I’d be interested to see what Dunc could do with him, given his groundball nature and whatnot

...

Not really. Single season BABIP and HR/FB rate for pitchers is almost 100% luck. The fact that both are inflate may show that he became more hittable, but it much more likely shows that he was unlucky.
by vivaelpujols on Nov 20, 2010 2:52 PM EST up reply actions
It seems more likely that he was more hittable
since it wasn’t either/or but both
"...football games always make me thankful for two things:
1. Teams that pass the ball downfield.

--DanUpBaby
He maintained a GB% that was at a near-elite level,
gave up the exact same percentage of line drives as last season, and his fly ball rate was relatively low, yet his HR rate went up by 50%. I don’t see anything there to explain the increase as hittability.
"What exactly is that thing? A pessimism meter?" - Bruce McCurdy
The Pirates didn't want to pay Duke's arb figure...
but he’s signing for way above league minimum to be a starter, potentially back with the Pirates.
Laroche wouldn’t be a bad pickup, but that infield made me throw up in my mouth. That’s a complete suckfest offensively.

Trading Laroche for Freese doesn't make the infield suddenly resemble Philly.
Our IF is probably going to be mediocre in any case, and Laroche at least plays good defense and could easily be the third best guy in the IF behind AP and Yadi.
As for Duke, I basically agree- I said Laroche would be free but Duke simply was denied a raise. He made $4.5M last year and teams do this all the time, non-tendering a player to avoid an arbitration raise.

i just glanced at Laroches stats...
i didn’t look to closely but I’m not sure I would agree that his is as good as Freese.
You fit into me

While this is simplistic,
if you assume they both BABIP .300, Freese strikes out a lot more and doesn’t play defense as well. Laroche has less power, but assuming neutral luck he is probably around as valuable as Freese.

Freese obviously, especially because of the difference in SSS
Then again, Freese’s peripheral stats should improve – he was a much better power hitter in the minors.

Since TLR
runs the roster (or so the motif goes), I’m surprised he’s not getting more credit here for dumping Stav, Pags, et al…
It seems like there are essentially two open spots on the roster – a fifth outfielder and a 4th middle infielder, though another option is to make Skip the 5th outfielder and grab two additional middle infielders.
Would be nice to get Uribe to play 2nd base full-time and move Skip to the 5th outfield spot (assuming a decent contract for Uribe, of course). Uribe is like a rich-man’s Belly-ard – his swing alone is worth the money.

interesting that they made room for
Bryan Augenstein and PJ Walters on the 40, but outrighted Ottavino. i’m not judging the move - it’s a perfectly justifiable set of decisions. i just think it’s an interesting statement of priorities, and not unrelated to Dave Duncan’s new multiyear deal.
from what I can tell Augenstein is a PJ Walters type, throws lots of strikes but doesn’t have overpowering stuff -- in other words he pitches to contact. Ottavino isn’t that type of pitcher; he’s cut more from the anthony reyes mold.he may be damaged goods, due to the shoulder. i bet he still will get chosen in the Rule V though.
disappointed to see Otto outrighted as well.
Though it’s hard to know what the Cards know about his shoulder. I wonder if or how teams are limited from drafting a rule V player and then sticking him on the DL for the most/all of the year.
I will say that I was much higher on Otto before actually seeing him pitch. His fastball was live but erratic – if he doesn’t get his fastball under much better control, he’s not going to be a reliever, much less a starter in the majors.

It depends on his shoulder, but someone will take the chance on him with his talent. I think Hill has the best chance of getting picked up out of any of them. He had an OPS just under .900 last season and hit 24hr in 102 games. Its too bad, I really think we should have protected him. He can definately hit and would of been nice in Tony’s “pinch-hitter” (Stavinoha) role.

We sang songs and prayed on Sundays. . . . We felt pain. And we felt joy. There was a lot wrong with the world. But we weren't sad, man. We had the times of our lives."

Bernie wrote a fantastic piece about Stan The Man

can someone explain?
71 • Musial was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1969, picking up 93.2 percent of the vote. Yes, 23 misguided souls left Musial off their Hall of Fame ballots.
why do some writers feel the need to leave a player off their ballot for the first time NO MATTER WHO IT IS… also – “i think he doesn’t deserve to get in first ballot, but he should get in” – if he deserves to get in the HOF at all, vote him in the first time not the time you deem necessary
