PrintSt. Louis Cardinals at Los Angeles Dodgers, Jun 7, 2010 10:10 PM EDT
Back in 2003, when there was no better prospect than Blake Hawksworth, none of us could wait for the day when he'd finally start in the Major Leagues. Dodgers pitcher Monasterios gives him a run for his awesome name money.

Riddle me this:
Why in the BLUE FUCK is Hawksworth starting? We already have a starter in the bullpen who should have started tonight.
by mattisnotfrench on Jun 7, 2010 10:21 PM EDT reply actions
I've always been under the impression that you only do a bullpen start when there is no other alternative.
We could either pitch Carpenter or PJ, but we decide to act as if we have no options and take a struggling reliever and basically throw a game.
i mean
Hawk is supposed to maybe be a starter at some point. for whatever reason, Carp is getting an extra day, and i don’t think anyone can convince Tony otherwise. and PJ… i love PJ, but he sucks. i don’t see how this is any worse than pitching PJ.

the official TLR/Duncan explanation just came through Dan'n'Al
Apparently they wanted the advance scouts to focus on Hawk and not Walters. If that’s actually possible I guess it’s good to throw them off the trick-changeup scent, but in the end it’s really just rearranging Walters’s five innings and Hawksworth’s two or three.
exactly.
still doesn’t answer the question on why ottavino wasn’t bumped. we’re two starters down, why are we using a fifth starter when we don’t have to?

it ensures hawk gets in the game

but we will have Holliday instead
for more money, roughly the same player
I'll leave this to Lao Tzu
by Cards Fan in Chitown on Jun 7, 2010 10:45 PM EDT up reply actions
Holliday is a MUCH better hitter for average and baserunner.
Ludwick is better defensively. I’d rather have Holliday, as much as I love Luddy.

>Pitcher Change: Felipe Lopez replaces Ryan Franklin, batting 7th, replacing third baseman Felipe Lopez
I'd rather have Luddy in left at 10, Luddy in right at 10
and 7 extra million spent on upgrading say….second base.
probably not
i’m saying they’re not roughly the same player, that’s all
"The outfield is deep and playing him straight-away, and the infield is the same, except first, second, third, and short are playing him to pull."
-Mike Shannon
that's one year.
history says otherwise. i’d rather have Ludwick this year, in all facets, but that doesn’t mean he’s a better player.
"The outfield is deep and playing him straight-away, and the infield is the same, except first, second, third, and short are playing him to pull."
-Mike Shannon
yes
granted that is just this year. but you must admit Ludwick you should just look at more recent seasons
I'll leave this to Lao Tzu
by Cards Fan in Chitown on Jun 7, 2010 10:53 PM EDT up reply actions
Holliday
has the potential to hit much better than .850, ops though. I’d say Luddy at .850 is what we’ll get.
yeah
I am just saying Luddy isn’t that much worse at hitting than Holliday, plus he is more “clutch”
I'll leave this to Lao Tzu
by Cards Fan in Chitown on Jun 7, 2010 10:53 PM EDT up reply actions
I don't really agree with 'clutch'.
But I’ll agree that Luddy is underrated a bit. I think Holliday will have a good year when all is said and done, in the .410 wOBA range, with average to slightly-above-average outfield defense. Is that worth 17 million? Meh. I’d say so.
Luddy, when healthy and playing well can also provide something similar, and is a better value than Holliday, in terms of performance per dollar.
no doubt
I'll leave this to Lao Tzu
by Cards Fan in Chitown on Jun 7, 2010 10:59 PM EDT up reply actions
i was very skeptical too
but actually, when you go look at the career splits, this statement is supported.. Luddy hits well over .300 with a very good OPS with RISP, while Holliday is under .300 with a less impressive OPS. i just closed the windows so i’m not going to go find them numbers again, but they’re there.

by Cards Fan in Chitown on Jun 7, 2010 11:05 PM EDT up reply actions
Something I'd been thinking about.
Luddy had never been a ‘core’ part of the lineup, in St. Louis. He probably gets better pitches to hit batting near Albert than he would elsewhere, either for fear of walking him with Albert due up, or for Albert being on base ahead of him.
For the Rockies, after Helton’s decline, Holliday ‘was’ that offense. He may not have seen the same percentage of ‘hittable’ pitches in situations where he could hurt them, compared to what Luddy saw.
I’m not saying it explains everything, merely that you can’t look at ‘clutch’ stats in a vacuum. I’m a firm believer that a hitter is what they are, and they’ll hit like that no matter the situation – the only thing that could be a variance is in how they are pitched in certain situations.
Helton just got contacts btw

dude
he isn’t THAT much better of a hitter. if you go by OPS
I'll leave this to Lao Tzu
by Cards Fan in Chitown on Jun 7, 2010 10:48 PM EDT up reply actions
he's a hundred points better, career wise.
that’s a pretty big deal.
"The outfield is deep and playing him straight-away, and the infield is the same, except first, second, third, and short are playing him to pull."
-Mike Shannon
Isn't really fair to compare Luddy's entire career.
It’s only been ‘08/’09/‘10 that I’d use as a comarison factor for him.
i disagree.
i think ‘08 was an absolute aberration. if you think Ludwick’s going to put up a .966 OPS again, i have a bridge i’d like to sell you.
"The outfield is deep and playing him straight-away, and the infield is the same, except first, second, third, and short are playing him to pull."
-Mike Shannon
that was such an awesome season
I could see him getting close to .900 this year
I'll leave this to Lao Tzu
by Cards Fan in Chitown on Jun 7, 2010 10:54 PM EDT up reply actions
sure, me too.
i think what he “should” put up is roughly a .850. i could see him getting close to .900, but he’s not gonna hit .966 again. on the other hand, Matt Holliday is completely capable of putting up OPSs of over 1.000.
"The outfield is deep and playing him straight-away, and the infield is the same, except first, second, third, and short are playing him to pull."
-Mike Shannon
hope so
I'll leave this to Lao Tzu
by Cards Fan in Chitown on Jun 7, 2010 10:59 PM EDT up reply actions
As much as I'd like that, I don't think Matt has the power to
OPS 1.00 anymore. mid .900’s is probably the best case scenario, perhaps a bit OBP-heavy, which is fine by me.
Sounds like a guy who needs to bat in front of Pujols.
>Pitcher Change: Felipe Lopez replaces Ryan Franklin, batting 7th, replacing third baseman Felipe Lopez
are you forgetting the second half of last year already?
he put up 63 games of 1.023 less than 12 months ago. i quite honestly believe he could still touch 1.000 this year

-a pitcher throwing 95 who hasn’t come close to filling out his frame.

but then, I’d much rather draft higher ceiling players who could be superstars than low ceiling college bats.
babip giveth... and babip taketh away
Why?
If the mean is the same, so what? We need the bats in the system anyways
Of all sad words of tongue or pen; the saddest are these: 'It might have been!'
because I like greatness?
In any case, Castellanos has more power and Austin Wilson has more everything.

Time is the best teacher; Unfortunately it kills all its students
Sorry, that came off snippy
Think of two players with the same mean. One of them has a lower variance (Zach Cox), one of them has a higher variance (Austin Wilson)… Ultimately, you expect them to have the same value. Wilson might have a higher chance of being a star, but also a higher chance of getting absolutely nothing out of him
Cox might not have as high of a chance of being a Jason Heyward-type star, but you’re also much, much more likely to recoup most of the value that you invested in him
Of all sad words of tongue or pen; the saddest are these: 'It might have been!'
but its booorrring
if you wanna look at it as statistical likelyhood and draft the safe picks all the time, you will end up with an average baseball team.
babip giveth... and babip taketh away

by FlimtotheFlam on Jun 7, 2010 11:40 PM EDT up reply actions
That's why you have to have a mix
If you draft the high risk/high reward guys all the time, there’s a good chance you won’t have any decent baseball team at all
It’s a good draft strategy to have guys like Zach Cox. He’s absolutely going to hit. It’s good to have that certainty
Of all sad words of tongue or pen; the saddest are these: 'It might have been!'
Value is value.
You generally ‘do’ want to make extremely high upside picks on occasion, but only if your system can support it. Right now, our system is a little bit on the bare side, so stocking up on middle-to-high upside, and low downside players is the prudent call.
I think we have
plenty of guys with average upside. That’s not what makes a system rank highly.
babip giveth... and babip taketh away
Who the fuck cares if that makes a system rank highly?
Garcia and Freese were both low upside/safe guys
Look at them now
Of all sad words of tongue or pen; the saddest are these: 'It might have been!'
The point is
the reason our system is bare isn’t a lack of medium upside talent. It’s because we don’t have top talent. Freese and Garcia are exceptions to the rule as they are outperforming even their most generous projections.
babip giveth... and babip taketh away
Freese is pretty much the perfect example of how I like to build a system.
Medium-to-High upside, and lots of it. Worst case scenario, you get bench/AAAA system filler. Best case scenario, a guy pans out to be a solid starter, cheap.
Use the money saved on intelligent Free Agency moves, and you have strong year-to-year contender. It just seems to be the best value overall to me, rather than risking picks and cash on high upside/high risk guys.
Basically:
Yes. Luck.
Of all sad words of tongue or pen; the saddest are these: 'It might have been!'
Holliday was 7th rounder
So was JEd, I think we no where the greatest hitter of his generation was drafted
Time is the best teacher; Unfortunately it kills all its students
Yeah.
As I said, with a system full of intelligent medium-to-high upside guys, enough of them become cheap, cost-controlled, quality major leaguers that you have the cash to spend appropriately in free agency to supplement the cost-controlled above-average guys.
So it’s a blend of your investments panning out, and free agency. Prioritizing value over superstar potential gives you a better financial situation as a whole.
Not to mention trades like the ones that brought JED and
to a lesser extent Larry Walker
Time is the best teacher; Unfortunately it kills all its students
Not to mention the team has stars already
hopefully Waino/Jaime serves as a bridge to Waino/Miller/Jaime and Colby becomes a .900+ ops to Team with Lego and Mang to give the team a solid core of bats to build around
Time is the best teacher; Unfortunately it kills all its students
Yeah but Miller has star potential
and you are talking about a team that won a world series with so pretty middle of the road guys on the mound
Time is the best teacher; Unfortunately it kills all its students
would it have cost more to sign vettleson
than cox, or to sign allie?
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."

probably better than mateo and far cheaper. somebody got a good one – was it the rays or red sox?

i think you probably think much higher of him than most
but the Rays grabbed him
babip giveth... and babip taketh away

figured they would have a good draft.
i know rb liked him with our 46th, but i didn’t figure him to get there. i’m with friedman on this kid. i think he was pretty highly regarded, in the colby range.
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."

The first thing that a pitcher has to understand is that Albert is better than you.-- Jim Palmer
that's not the only way
the cardinals took miller last year, jenkins this year, and just made a $1.5 million all-upside international signing. You also have to build depth and breadth, and high school arms (with their poor success rate) don’t do much for that.
The international signing is key here
He is basically a high school pitcher, call him the overall 1 pick and then look at the four together and it changes somewhat.
"Come test me every day if you want," says Pujols, "Everything I ever made in this game I would give back to the Cardinals if I got caught."
The age thing is going to be fun to watch
Was he 16 last year? is he 18 this year? 19? How the heck old is he?

babip giveth... and babip taketh away

"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
I dunno.
I think he’s the closest thing to a high impact bat, while still being a strong system pick that we were going to get, that far down. he could have gone 6th-7th, and we snagged him where we did.
I like the pick.
why did he fall?
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
you're sure?
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."

Draft eligible sophomore
Of all sad words of tongue or pen; the saddest are these: 'It might have been!'
i know that
but i’d think he’s pretty keen to sign. who says he was a signability issue?
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
He is a draft eligible sophomore
he was picked something like 20th out of high school but went to college, could take his chances a couple more times even
"Come test me every day if you want," says Pujols, "Everything I ever made in this game I would give back to the Cardinals if I got caught."
so he fell further than high school
or 20th was the round?
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
only problem is that he injured himself today
so that is kind like a wet blanket on the draft
"Come test me every day if you want," says Pujols, "Everything I ever made in this game I would give back to the Cardinals if I got caught."
no, but still not good

Meh.
To each their own, I suppose. I just take a longer view towards it, rather than a game-to-game one. This isn’t football, where every game is a proportionally large part of the overall record. ‘The good of the team’ is a cliche, to be sure, but in baseball, it rings a bit true. Doing what you can to keep guys fresh and healthy, not only for the long season, but the playoffs, is worth a few games like this.
What if instead of every ball we hit being caught, and every bloop by the dodgers falling in, things evened out, and we squeaked out a 7-6 win? Baseball happens, luck happens, and nights like tonight are a necessity, unfortunately.
i agree that they're a necessity sometimes.

Because extending him a little bit throughout the season
is how we limit his innings, without vastly reducing his workload. It’s a long season, you’re going to have games like this that, while not entirely throwing away, you accept that you have less than a normal chance to win.

What would you have him do instead? We don’t exactly have a stable of capable starting-quality arms. When Penny is back, we have more leeway with the last spot in the rotation, but when we need to plug multiple gaps, it leads to nights like this.

square the ball up better and that helps BABIP

I was just thinking, what's the point of having a backup catcher
if he can’t hit, he isn’t anything special defensively, and TLR doesn’t trust him enough to play him at all often enough (thus forcing him to never give Yadi enough rest)?
Surely we have someone promising lurking in the minors?

yeah
if Larue was at least more consistent defensively it would make sense. but he’s not that great. and he SUCKS at hitting. so wtf

eh, I can't blame this one on him
it’s more “because backup catcher and managers.” managers like backup catchers that aren’t good at any one thing, for some reason.
Mainly because if they were good they wouldn't
be backups. But point taken.
Backup catchers just suck and I can deal with that. Larue is kind of a lovable ruffian anyways, or he was with the porn-stache.

“I saw Blair this summer [in the Cape Cod League],” said Jeff Luhnow, the Cardinals’ vice president of scouting and player development. “He was a good pitcher. I went back again and saw him in May, and he’s a better pitcher. … We sat on him pretty good this year and feel like he’s on a trajectory to continue to improve. He’s got tremendous breaking stuff. And his fastball has gone from an average of 90-91 [mph], which I saw at the Cape, to now we’re talking he touches mid-90s and sometimes upper 90s. So that’s exciting, to get an arm like that.”
