Friday Notes

Cue the sad Sarah McLachlan song—no, the other one—Ben Jukich is returning to the Reds. I, for one, will remember all the good times we had together. There was the time the Cardinals selected him in the Rule 5 draft, and the time, singular, he pitched this Spring. And all the times in between where I wondered where the Cardinals had planned on putting him. 

His departure is being framed as though the Cardinals just couldn't find the right deal to keep him in St. Louis, but it's not as though they're lacking for parts; the aging, possibly adequate C- guy is the official prospect type of the Cardinals farm system. What this means is that Jukich had fallen behind the homegrown suspects on the Cardinals' internal list—P.J. Walters, Francisco Samuel, et al. 

With two lefties on the roster and Jaime Garcia in camp I'm not entirely sure what the Cardinals expected to happen, but you can't end up with Brian Barton every year. In the meantime I think it's best we avoid dwelling on the negative, and just remember—keep with us, always—the great times we had together. We'll never get them back, sure—but by god we'll never lose them, either. 

Star-divide

Things have looked brighter for the other transplanted left-hander, too; as long-time kremlinologist Derrick Goold notes, Jaime Garcia has officially horned in on the two-man race—

Hours before Rich Hill lost command of his start against Atlanta, the Cardinals announced that Garcia, peerless as a reliever this spring, would start Monday against Houston. During the early weeks of spring training, Cardinals coaches portrayed the contest for the open spot in the rotation as a duel pitting Hill against in-house candidate Kyle McClellan. Garcia, a candidate from Class AAA championed by some in the organization, has pitched too well to be ignored.

Garcia is great, but I'm sympathetic to the idea that penciling him into a rotation spot after 40 rehab innings seems sudden. He's pitched 155 innings before, but it was when he was 19, which is kind of a loaded endorsement to make—like claiming Kerry Wood is a horse because Dusty Baker once had him throw medicine balls at Michael Barrett until he couldn't feel his arm anymore.

But the Joba Rules, for all their overhyped inanity and mixed signals, aren't the only way to control a Young Pitcher's innings and his "readiness", as nebulous a concept as that is. La Russa and Duncan have not done well at this, historically, something that's always followed them around anecdotally and was attached to them analytically in Chris Jaffe's recent study of managers. But he'll be a young pitcher, and La Russa and Duncan their less-than-optimal young pitcher selves, whether he comes up in 2010 or 2011; if he's the best pitcher available, and he's kept around the 162 innings required for the ERA title, there are worse ways to start a career. 

#

Is there a purer expression of the #hpgf hash tag than the sequence of events described in this blog entry? A scrap-heap veteran is forced out of the game, and into the breach flies Fernando Salas, a rookie who's increased his chances of making the Opening Day roster like no other player in camp. Aided by a diving Colby Rasmus he impresses again; over the next two innings Rasmus and Allen Craig, hitter-without-a-position, blocked by the powers-that-be, club extra-base hits. Which is to say: you don't need five-star prospects to be a hyperventilating prospect-geek fraternity. 

As for Salas himself, the red baron is the early pick for official Nostradamus of Spring Training 2010, which means that the History Channel should be by the RFT offices any day now to film a breathless documentary about him. Salas has good-enough stuff and great results, and the Cardinals are in no position to be picky. Should Kyle McClellan be outrun for the last spot in the rotation by Jaime Garcia things get murkier, but I wouldn't be particularly concerned about who ended up in this bullpen if I didn't think someone was going to be joining it circa the middle of May.

Amaury Marti vanish into thin air at the plate in a whirl of laughter while he was in Springfield one year. No one knew what the hell was going on, it was just really windy and Marti’s laughing was everywhere. Finally, Chris Maloney storms out of the dugout (in typical Maloney fashion) and screams “Where in the hell did he go this time?” And all of a sudden Louie’s head goes flying across the field and there stands Amaury Marti in the bird costume.

No one knows how in the hell he got inside it… and come to think of it, no one knows what happened to the guy who was inside the costume. Huh… never thought about that til now.

…remember he was 4th in ROY voting in 2004, beating out some schlubb names Matt Holiday…
…. he ALMOST played for the Greek National team at the ‘04 Olympics (Aaron Miles: Olympian!)…
…he is a member of the ’06 WORLD SERIES CHAMPION ST. LOUIS CARDINALS, so there’s that…
… he tossed a PERFECT inning against the Natty Dreads in ‘06, in which 67% of his blistering pitches were strikerinos…
… he has cowpiled an OPS of .962 in 7 post-season games in his career (all 2006)
… he was the first ever batter at the new (and very stinky and over-priced) Yankee stadium
…. in 2000 he wrestled 6 masked gunmen to the ground & disarmed them with one hand tied behind his back – just because he cud!
… he is immortalized forever in comedy history as the subject matter of Kevin Meany jokes on Meany’s “That’s Not Right!” album…
…last, but certainly not least, he IS the reigning poster boy for GRIT

Aaron Miles

as an Astros minor-leaguer, wrestled with a gun-toting robber and was bitten on the neck by the miscreant.

It’s not like Miles is Amaury Marti who would have simply grinned menacingly at the robber, an expression which would have caused the criminal to fall to the floor and wet himself, begging for the police to take him to jail. Or Matt Holliday, who might have just beat the robber to death with a spoon to the tune of some Tennessee hillbilly music.

Nope. Miles actually had to fight for his life. That’s admirable grit, folks.

You crazy kinds and your mumbo jumbo lingo whatchamacallit.

In football, the object is for the quarterback, otherwise known as the field general, to be on target with his aerial assault, riddling the defense by hitting his recievers with deadly accuracy in spite of the blitz, even if he has to use the shotgun. With short bullet passes and long bombs, he marches his troops into enemy territory, balancing this aerial assault with a sustained ground attack that punches holes in the forward wall of the enemy's defensive line.

In baseball the object is to go home! And to be safe! "I hope I'll be safe at home!"

How many teams?

If you have a legitimate shot at getting Tulo in Round 2, then the only answer is Pujols. But the talent dropoff at SS is massive after #2 whereas you can find an Adrian Gonzalez and still be okay at 1B.

by joker24 on Mar 19, 2010 2:49 PM EDT up reply actions  

exactly my kind of thinking

it’s a 12 team league, and I’m pretty sure Tulo will be gone by then. I’m thinking Reyes might drop, but you’re right about the drop-off. It’s just something to mull over

If you are going HanRam to start

I think you basically have to go with 1B + OF or 3B with the back to back picks. By going HanRam you are shorting yourself by 15 HRs and have to make those up (which is easy to do), plus I’m a big believer in that high K pitchers from rounds 4-10 are better values than the tip top guys.

The Quetzal is our national bird, the name of our currency and the protagonist on one of our more significant legends. It lives in the northern part on the country, on the rain forest.
Here’s the thing about coffee in Guatemala. It is our best export. We are one of Starbuck’s main providers. We have quality and varied coffee and I can say it is the best in the world. Because of this, we are constantly looking for more land to plant coffee and increase our exportation numbers. And that is why we plant it in priority of avocado trees. I know we shouldn’t but it’s tough to keep everyone synced on the whole “protect our national bird” thing.

So since I don't play fantasy baseball with anyone on here

Let’s talk sleepers. I’m trying to compile a list of guys who might be undervalued in the draft for various reasons, and I’d like to see if anyone else has people I feel like I should add to my list.

  • Ryan Studwick — Down year in 2009, but still a bounceback candidate. May be a solid late-round selection.
  • Troy Glaus — Injury prone. Worth noting that he’s having a ridiculous spring, perhaps? Possible 30 homers at 1B for the Braves. (Note: will start the season eligible only at UTIL in Yahoo, but that’s quite temporary.)
  • Ricky Nolasco — Huge ERA/FIP disparity last year. Ace-type potential. Will rack up Ks.
  • Shin-Soo Choo — FG Fans have him pegged for .300/.390/487 and about 20/20. Not a first-tier player, but definitely a nice piece to have in your OF for all-around production. Because none of his numbers jump out and the Indians suck, he remains a relative unknown in many fantasy circles.
  • Rickie Weeks — Pretty obvious. He’s a high-ceiling but risky player pretty much every single year. This time it’s because of his 2009 injury.
  • Chris Davis — Sometimes prospects get way hyped and then they disappoint and they move into this weird post-hype area where people just assume they’re lost forever. Chris Davis is post-hype.
  • Matt Harrison — Had a nice start for the Rangers, then pitched through injury for a while, then lost the rest of last year to injury. If you haven’t seen him this spring — holy crap, he’s gone from chubby to svelte. Literally lost 30 pounds. Saw him pitch last night and was quite impressed.
  • Ben Sheets — Lots of people were scared away by his high-profile destruction at the hands of the Reds recently. It’s spring. Don’t be too dissuaded by a single bad start. Could be a nice late-ish high-ceiling pickup.
  • David Price — Not sure if he’s moved into post-hype territory yet, but he’s still got ace potential.
  • Nolan Reimold — Fangraphs Fans have him hitting .283/.372/.486 this year with 20+ homers. He’s got the speed to steal 15 bases. His ADP is in the 200s…could be a tremendous late-round pickup as a third OF.
  • Ian Desmond — Shortstop prospect for the Nats. He’ll have to win the job, but he could be a useful late-round SS pickup if he does. It’s not unlikely he won’t start the season with the club, but he’s making it tough on the Nats management this spring with a .387/.441/.645 line with 3 SB.

That's a thought

The NL transition can only help, but I’d be lying if I said I was super-bullish on him.

The problem with Aki is that while he’s a good player in real life, he doesn’t really hit homers or steal a ton of bases, which makes him a pretty meh second baseman in fantasy.

no transition

he was traded this off-season. no injury. just suck. they sent him to the minors so he’d have an extra year under team control, which made him more valuable, though i believe they gave him away cheaply, for gomez.

But I guess from what I understand, I’m going to play before it starts to feel awesome. There’s stuff I have to work through, break scar tissue down.
"Every off day, it feels really good the day after that. And then when I start hitting back to back days, it starts to get sore. But I guess that’s normal."

Cubs are "not good"

So I’m going to a wedding in Ixtapa in a few weeks. The bride is a good college friend of my wife’s and the groom and I have become close over the last couple of years, despite him living in Chicago and our living in San Francisco.

So the groom posts something fairly innocuous on Facebook and it’s along the lines of “went to pick up the rings today”.

Somebody responded, “things you haven’t heard the Cubs owenrship say for $500, Alec.” I think I may stay a part of Facebook just because of this classic moment.

I thought you’d all enjoy this. I had a few drinks at lunch so may come to find it’s not as awesome as originally thought later on tonight, but thought it was worth at least sharing.

K-Mac in relief in '08 and '09

2008… K/9: 7.02 BB/9: 3.09 K/BB: 2.27 HR/9: 0.83 WHIP: 1.39 BABIP: .318 FIP: 3.96

2009… K/9: 6.89 BB/9: 4.59 K/BB: 1.50 HR/9: 0.54 WHIP: 1.35 BABIP: .275 FIP: 3.97

I wonder if the walk rate going up and the HR/9: and BABIP going down are related? is he trying to avoid pitching to people? his stats seem kinda hard to draw conclusions from, although his WHIP and FIP are both remarkably similar both years. I wonder how he’d fare if you up his innings pitched a lot

How do we have a recruiting problem? We sure as hell had talent, but didn’t have a coach that could develop it, which was a problem. He had no trouble with Clausen and the offense, but the defense has several guys with high potential that never realized it.

Now, we have a coach that seems to win everywhere he goes, and actually has college experience. I’m very optimistic about it, but you never know.

Let me put on my shocked face...

In football, the object is for the quarterback, otherwise known as the field general, to be on target with his aerial assault, riddling the defense by hitting his recievers with deadly accuracy in spite of the blitz, even if he has to use the shotgun. With short bullet passes and long bombs, he marches his troops into enemy territory, balancing this aerial assault with a sustained ground attack that punches holes in the forward wall of the enemy's defensive line.

If you’re conference has a bad rep in the tourney, it doesn’t help your case in future years. How the hell do you think Big East teams have such high seeds (Georgetown, Pitt, ND)?

I don’t have either—I own a RAZR 2, because I know that my work habits would implode if I had the full internet at all times—but from what I’ve read, and having used both operating systems intermittently, I prefer the iPhone, though the Droid is an awesome piece of industrial design in its own right. I’ve never been a big open source guy, I like the walled-garden user experience, and I’m a Mac user, so the iPhone OS is a better fit for me; Android seems unpolished and fragmented by comparison.

I’d love to try WebOS out, because it looks more in keeping with my tastes, but now that Palm is getting crushed by Android and has Windows Phone 7 to deal with it’s looking like I won’t get the chance.

I agree with this,

The problem is, bandwidth is expensive as hell. Companies now want to charge for the use of bandwidth (Like downloading movies, etc.) in order to make more money. The more people that can use the internet, the more money these companies lose. I can see why they would want to regulate the internet like this, but it does kind of make me sad. The Internet as we know it may not exist soon.

In football, the object is for the quarterback, otherwise known as the field general, to be on target with his aerial assault, riddling the defense by hitting his recievers with deadly accuracy in spite of the blitz, even if he has to use the shotgun. With short bullet passes and long bombs, he marches his troops into enemy territory, balancing this aerial assault with a sustained ground attack that punches holes in the forward wall of the enemy's defensive line.

It's not being restricted to what I can do with my own device

It’s wanting the best experience, and coming to the conclusion that if I were to try to muddle through and do that on my own I wouldn’t be able to put it together. In high school I was really into DIY computer stuff—I had all kinds of weird operating system extensions, I ran my blog myself, I loved to theme things when the option was available, etc. But as time passed, and my computer became a tool instead of a hobby, I lost that impulse.

There is a bad way to lock down an operating system—my RAZR is a great example; AT&T broke Opera Mini, Google Maps, etc. by requiring them to ask your permission to use the internet connection every time it made a connection, and its music software is garbage and can’t be replaced. But if I were to buy an iPhone, or a Droid, or a Pre, I would be buying them mostly for the software that’s on the phone by default, which I’d want to be perfect, and the software I’d be buying or downloading from the app store, which I’d want to be as polished as can be. I don’t really want to experiment with my phone. Right now the iPhone provides that particular experience better than anything else.

I don’t begrudge anyone who doesn’t want that experience, but for me whether or not I can root my phone is irrelevant.

i don't think

you understand what the term “walled garden” means. you’re talking about open v closed source software. and it seems to me like you’re saying you don’t care, not the you prefer closed source. i prefer open source because more developers having their hands in something ultimately leads to improvement

i don’t like the walled garden of the iphone because i have to jailbreak my iphone to get it to do what i want it to do. which voids my warranty. if there were no walled garden, there would be plenty of polished apps that do everything we want it to do. because when you don’t have to be a techie just to get the app, there’s much more of a market for the app.

prime example: google voice/skype. the iphone has to be jailbroken and tricked into thinking it is running on only wifi instead of 3g for these apps to perform their primary function. android with no walled garden does these things by default. no tinkering

what it comes down to

is that the iPhone does everything I want it to do, and if it didn’t—if Apple or AT&T’s policies prevented it from doing so—I wouldn’t buy it.

I’m not talking about open-v.-closed source. I’m talking about Apple’s control over what’s on the device. I know it’s foreign to a lot of people to like that, but I like my experience on a given device (or within a given operating system) to be as consistent as possible. Apple has certainly been overly clumsy at times in the way they’ve exercised their authority over what appears in the app store, but my experience with Android—and I haven’t tried a 2.0 device yet, so I’m sure it’s getting better—was just not good enough for the increased freedom on my end to make a difference. All this is is the Windows/Mac debate writ small, so no one will every change anyone else’s mind, but on computers and now with phones I’ve always preferred fewer choices, better executed.

If Google Voice or Skype over 3G, or any of the other apps marginalized or made unavailable on the iPhone, were a dealbreaker for me, I’d pick something else. But I follow both operating systems pretty closely for someone who doesn’t plan on using either, and to this point I haven’t seen Apple or AT&T throw a flag on something I care about. (And I don’t care enough about control over hardware as a matter of principle to think that the possible ‘First they came for Google Voice, and I didn’t speak up, because I had rollover minutes left over’ analogy is haunting.)

I am sure Wainwright knew what was coming if he didn’t get the darts.

In football, the object is for the quarterback, otherwise known as the field general, to be on target with his aerial assault, riddling the defense by hitting his recievers with deadly accuracy in spite of the blitz, even if he has to use the shotgun. With short bullet passes and long bombs, he marches his troops into enemy territory, balancing this aerial assault with a sustained ground attack that punches holes in the forward wall of the enemy's defensive line.

I understand that

but you don’t make that call when he is just barely violating it. That play changed the entire last 20 seconds. Hell, even the announcer said that you wouldn’t make that call in normal circumstances.

so these weren't normal circumstances?

it’s an easy call, whether he barely violated or not. you can’t be barely out of bounds. c’mon, the dude pulled a bonehead. you never saw a bobby knight team do something like that, or like mizzou today missing a contested layup when all they had to do was pull it out, or like tenn fouling on a 3 pt attempt when up 4. i doubt you see an izzo team be boneheaded in the tourney either, or a ryan team.

No, they weren't

This is the biggest game of these kids’ life. To not give them any leeway on a call like that, especially in the last minute of a really close game, is kind of lame. I know that technically it violates the rule, but it’s a tacit kind of rule that you just shouldn’t call it.

but it's like saying a ball was kinda foul (luddy)

it is or isn’t. fouls are judgment and we can let them play, but there are calls which are not judgment – in or out of bounds, 3 seconds (even an inch in), etc. really, there is no tacit agreement on this, except to call the infractions.

if a guy steps over the line to inbound a ball, even if it’s not contested, that has to be called. and will be every time. that is why this is not the nba, thank god.

That's not the point.

My point is, that 90% of referees will not make that call at any time in the game, but the fact that they got the refs that happened to be calling it is kind of sad. They got jobbed.
