Around SBN: Raiders' GM Begins The Purge

Sunday open thread

Sorry guys, no post today.  I've had a very busy weekend so far (my little brother became a Jewish man!), and haven't had time to work on anything.  

Some topics for discussion...

  • Graham's series of primers at LL.  There is some good stuff those, and anyone who has questions relating to the topics discussed should speak up. 
  • THT unveils their forecasting system based off of Brian Cartwright's Oliver projections.  There are many features available including 6 year forecasts for over 7,000 players, over 1,300 player comments provided by team bloggers (including LBoros for the Cardinals) and weekly updates during the season.  It costs 14.95 for the whole year, but in my opinion, it's worth it (especially if you do a lot of Fantasy) and you can think of it as a way to give back to a website that provides a ton of good content for free.  /end marketing ad
  • Wanna get Pitch f/x data?  Dave Allen has answers.
  • The Met's snatched up Kiko Calero, so it appears the only useful free agent left is John Smoltz.  Given our hilariously tenuous health circumstances in the rotation, I have no idea why we haven't signed him yet. 
  • Giveml had a really good FanPost recently about the Cardinals and the BA's top 100 prospects list.  Basically, our minor league system isn't great right now, and some possible improvements could come from more high risk picks in the draft as well as tapping the foreign markets.  I don't necessarily think that a good farm is going to be very important for the Cards over the next couple of years, given the stability of our roster; however, once Molina, Wainwright, Pujols, et al, start to get more expensive, we are going to need a good farm to sustain success (or raise payroll).  However, I can say that I have full confidence in Luhnow to revamp the system.
  • Here is a cool article looking at whether or not a pitcher's velocity has a predictive effect beyond his stats.  Basically, are the slow throwers more likely to under-perform their projections than the hard throwers?  The answer will probably not surprise you.  This study only scratches the surface of what is the next frontier of sabermetric analysis, which is, in my opinion, the reconciliation of stats and scouting.
  • Finally, some time in the next couple of weeks, I will be answering 5 questions about the St. Louis Cardinals for THT.  LBoros did them last year.  I think I am supposed to generate the questions and answers myself, but that seems kind of boring to me, so I would rather take questions from you guys.  So if you want to help, just indicate that you are asking a question, and if it's interesting, it might appear in the article.

THT questions

Couple of question ideas. 1) What happens if one or more of the Cardinal starters with injury history goes to the DL early? I feel pretty good about Lynn and/or Garcia being able hold a rotation spot for a month. Do we panic and sign Smoltz or go with the youth? 2) 3B, does Tony play for today or tomorrow? With the acquisition of Lopez, it would be tempting for TLR to just plug him in as his everyday 3B and let Freeze idle as the utility corner infielder. But Lopez is here on a 1 year contract. Freese represents cheap labor at 3B for many years to come if he can prove his worth at the position. That’s very important to a team with Pujols, Holliday, Carp, and Wainwright under contract. How much does Freese play?

by jjray on Mar 7, 2010 10:35 AM EST reply actions  

On Freese

Tony has always made young players earn their playing time without putting too much pressure on them. My guess (based on expected performance for both) is that Freese will start around 100 games at third base and Lopez most of the rest. Even the games that Lopez starts, Freese will enter as a defensive replacement if the Cards are leading. Obviously, Lopez will also get a number of starts at second this year (and hopefully no starts at short).

by CRay on Mar 7, 2010 11:01 AM EST up reply actions  

Same question

What are our prospects without Carp (god forbid). Seems that is the best reason to sign Smoltz — to have a quality arm in the rotation if we lose the big guy. Can’t replace Carp but we need to be able to bring in someone that is league average and I think Smoltz is the best bet for that.

How successful will the middle of the order be with three big RH thumpers back to back to back?

Cards have very little team speed — how will this impact their run scoring if they have to play station to station baseball.

Is Ryan a flash in the pan?

Can Lohse regain his form.

On the minor league system

I agree with your basic point, vep. With Pujols, Holliday, Rasmus, and Waino, the Cards don’t necessarily need a lot of high-end prospects for the next four or five years (tho having some would be nice). What the Cards need is good young starting pitching, and that is the strength of the system with Garcia, Lynn, and Miller. The system also contains a number of potentially good relief pitchers, as well as a possible closer or two. Hopefully the next draft or two will allow the Cards to obtain some high-end prospects for four or five years down the road.

by CRay on Mar 7, 2010 11:08 AM EST reply actions  

Specific holes for position players

We may not need to have a deep minor league organization but we will need to fill specific holes. Right field is one. Luddy is going to become too expense somewhere along the line. Backup CF. Is that Jon Jay? If not, who? 2B. I just don’t think Skippy is going to have a long shelf life with the Cards.

by jjray on Mar 7, 2010 1:54 PM EST up reply actions  

skip is likely gone, for descslso next year

for all else, the answer is mather

"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."

by cardball on Mar 7, 2010 3:08 PM EST up reply actions  

just an example

the point being that there are specific holes that need to be filled cheaply by our minor league system. We still don’t know what Mather is going to give us. A few swings in early ST don’t answer the questions surrounding his wrist and whether there are holes in swing, long swing susceptible to high heat. Can he shorten it? I like the look of Descalso but he has a lot yet to prove. He didn’t exactly tear AAA for the season. The system needs to develop depth behind these two and be prepared to fill holes created by injury.

I don't think that Smoltz wants to sign

He’d be happy to take a midseason rotation spot for a playoff team, but I don’t think he’s dying to be the Cardinals’ swingman.

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

by Valatan on Mar 7, 2010 11:11 AM EST reply actions  

Well

My position is that Smoltz should start in the rotation, with Garcia in the minors, and if one of the other starters gets injured (a good chance), Garcia moves to the rotation.

Today's game is important

Not that the others aren’t. But McCellan and Hill are going to be pitching today and will be pitching on the same day until the start of the season.

On the Hot Corner today Feldman suggest that Hill “could” be put into the thompson role. Apparently at one point Tony mentioned having 3 lefties in the bullpen if one of them were the long reliever. And some where else mentioned that Jamie would not be moved to the bullpen. He either makes the team not he starts in Memphis.

Goold shot down the suggestion that Hill could make the team as the swingman. What do you guys think?

by Evilfrog on Mar 7, 2010 11:31 AM EST reply actions  

I guess with Hill

he’ll either be effective or he’s toast

WTF?

so I’m getting ready to order MLB media services for this year, only to find the prices have gone up if I’m not mistaken. At Bat went up $5, yearly MLB.TV went up $20, and monthly MLB.TV went up $5/month. I swear on all that’s holy I’m going to punch Bud Selig squarely in the balls if I ever see him.

by mattyp on Mar 7, 2010 12:55 PM EST reply actions  

The worst is what they did to AtBat lite

They stripped out all the gameday stuff so now you only get a box score, but yet go on and on about all the new awesome worthless features they’ve added. Furthermore, you still have to buy the $20 full AtBat even if you are a Mlb.TV subscriber, which is complete bullshit. Why would I pay for something twice?

by cloistermaximus on Mar 7, 2010 12:57 PM EST up reply actions  

what? are you sure?

last year, if you had an MLB.tv account, I’m pretty sure it included At Bat access. If they stripped that too, that’s just total BS. It really pisses me off how the business side of MLB operates on the premise that they should gouge customers, just because they can.

by mattyp on Mar 7, 2010 12:59 PM EST up reply actions  

Pretty sure

I’ve looked up and down for a place to login within the app and on mlb.com without luck. As far as I know the only thing you can do is buy the $20 app which then would allow you to login with your mlb.tv credentials to access video of the games. But if you don’t buy the $20 app, your boned.

by cloistermaximus on Mar 7, 2010 1:02 PM EST up reply actions  

yup, you might be right

just checked my phone and it looks like the 2009 version is kaput, and they prompt you to purchase the new 2010 version from the iphones store. I get it: You have a complete stranglehold on the market, so the more popular something is, the more you’re gonna charge for it. But you think with all the money they’re already raking in, they could at least provide a cheaper upgrade option for loyal repeat customers.

by mattyp on Mar 7, 2010 1:10 PM EST up reply actions  

oh, and I don't know where you're looking

but At Bat should only be $14.99, not $19.99 (and of course not $9.99 like it was last year, or $5.99 the year before that. Not annually raising the price would be totally stupid!)

I don't think the Cubs' schedule is particularly easy.

Honestly, I don’t. The Reds own them, the Marlins and Braves will be pretty good, and opening with six games on the road isn’t fun. Other than the Cards’ series against the Phils, it’s pretty much the same schedule.

by mattisnotfrench on Mar 7, 2010 1:53 PM EST up reply actions  

I pretty much agree

Although I think the three game set at San Fran could be a tough series for the Cards as well. Hopefully Cub fans won’t have a chance to run there mouth too much early this year. I’d like to see the Cards start on top and stay there. It’s much quieter around Iowa that way.

speaking of the WWL

I found this gem talking about the Oscars.

10. “Avatar”: (aka “Dances With Aliens”) This is a movie unrepentantly on performance enhancers. It takes a tired plot with warning-track power and attempts to turn it into a 50-homer, 120-RBI blockbuster through special effects and 3-D glasses. But most everything in here looks as bloated and unnatural as the muscles on a certain ex-San Francisco Giants left fielder. Like home runs in the late 1990s and early 2000s, the grander and more elaborate special effects become, the less real any of them seem. Rather than three-dimensional FX and one-dimensional characters, I’ll take the equivalent of a tense, old-school 2-1 pitchers’ duel. You don’t need explosions and fireballs to build suspense (think how the climax to “Notorious” kept you on the edge of your seat) — a finale can be just as satisfying with a two-out single to left that scores the winning run from second (though Pirates fans may disagree).

Best shape of his life?

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!"

oops wait
A few of the players will continue to join the major-league team in its games this coming week. Second baseman Descalso, for example, is headed to Fort Myers, Fla., for both of the upcoming games. Henley will also join the big-league team for one of the games on the Gulf Coast.

Charlie Zink sent out -- another kill for DanUp

I think he only needs to kill one or two more young players’ careers before he levels up.
