agreed, but i think he's more of a project
though i’m not sure he’ll ever get over the strikeout issues – i think it’s a bridge too far. Encarnacion would be a nice pickup, though.

What Scotty was saying
from Strauss’ midnight postings at P-D on the brawl
“We’re not going to let this happen! We’re not going to let this happen!” Rolen yelled while grabbing Carpenter and pushing him toward the backstop.
Obviously, Cueto’s limited English ability caused him to translate that into “kick the little bitches”.

So, your SBN St. Louis articles, Dan

The Stooges cannot be explained, they can only be experienced. The Moe, Larry, Curly ones are the best. There are other line-ups but those are the best ones.
An aside, I didn’t realize that Moe and Shemp actually were brothers and that Shemp was an original and not Curly.

About 94%* of those drives are getting smoked into someone’s glove.
The good news- Even with the Cards desperate for 3B help, they (reluctantly) went with Craig rather than Miles. That’s promising.

Psh
I don’t understand why McDonald’s has the reputation of best fries. I would rate them behind the rest of that group, except In-N-Out, and that’s only because I’ve never eaten In-N-Out. It’s like it was decided long ago that McDonald’s has the best fries, and that’s just the way it is. McDonald’s fries are like the pitcher who wins 15 games for the Yankees with a 5+ ERA.

McDees used to have great fries
they used to cook their fries in beef tallow (sp?) and at some point they switched to vegetable oil. Don’t know how long ago that was, but that made a huge difference to me.
youneverknow
They switched back when I worked there in high school
Late 80’s; they originally switched straight up to the veggie oil, but then they started adding a flavoring to it to make it taste like dead cows, because that’s what people really wanted.
“Dude! Even the fries are made of meat!”
Ms Bitters (Invader Zim): Children, your performance was miserable. Your parents will all receive phone calls instructing them to love you less now.
http://www.rense.com/general7/whyy.htm
highlights: they used to be cooked in 7% cotonseed oil (yikes!)/93% beef tallow. They had more saturated fat per ounce than a mcD’s burger. Now they’re cooked in veg. oil w/ “natural flavoring” you mentioned. Definitely not the same and not as good.
youneverknow
damn heath food nazi's ruin everything
Out of the crooked timber of humanity, no straight thing can be made
totally agreed
it’s ridiculous. “Oh my! Turns out McDonald’s food is not healthy! Let’s take perfectly good junk food that anyone w/ an IQ over 60 knows is not good for you and make it healthier! Yay!”
youneverknow
at least McD's fought back against those asshats who wanted
them to stop putting toys in happy meals. seriously, if that’s what you’re life’s mission is, making other people as sad & miserable as you are, then you’re life should be put to an end

But I’ve never fully understood the Tino Martinez thing. I mean, he was never that great a player, and it looks like he was an OK player with St. Louis. Did he whine a lot or something? Did people just expect too much of him and become inevitably disappointed?
Albert Pujols does not have "down" years. He has "~6 WAR" years.
Martinez got off to a horrible start for the Cardinals, if I remember correctly.
And then worked his way up to basically league-average offensive production. He was never really happy and became a clubhouse cancer, causing us to pay Tampa to take him off of our hands. He had a good year in ’04, but I feel safe saying our 2004 was better.

He said Mulders was not nearly as bad b/c it was only 2 years 13million.
Then he said Tinos was only 27million and he was bad but not THAT horrible.
He said Lohse could turn it around with 2 years left but the 4 years/40million has to make it the worst, and that the team has won only like 11 out of his 33 starts since the new deal, with his ERA close to 6
by mick311 on Aug 16, 2010 1:27 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
Mulder was signed when we knew he was hurt
Lohse was signed and then got hurt after being hit by a pitch. The Lohse contract isn’t good. But I think the Mulder signing was worse.
I didn’t get on base. One time I did (Wednesday) and we scored a run. That shows if I get on base, things can happen - Oilspill
the rumors were rampant when we traded for him
Mulder wasn’t the same pitcher the last half of his last season with Oakland. Many people said he was hurt and/or showing a lot of wear from his pitching. The Cards chose not to believe it and traded for him anyway. He gave us one reasonably good season and then went belly-up. Then the Cards later on signed him to a two-year deal when it was very obvious to everyone Mulder was hurt. Talk about not believing what you are seeing. At least Lohse got hurt after we signed him.
well,
the logic was that he was going to get healthy and come back to his cy young form and we’d have a huge bargain on our hands.
"Moneyball: It's kind of like communism."
twatter
without making a trade
Blaine Matthew Burns: Albert Pujols' biggest fan (his first words will for sure be "Albert Pujols is RIDICULOUS")
How much of a deal though?
The contract was for $5 million in 2007 and we knew he wouldn’t pitch much because he had rotator cuff surgery. As it happened, he didn’t come back til September. So that $5 million was mostly just the price of getting him under contract for 2008.
For 2008 the number was $6.5 million and for 2009 it was $11 million (optional). To top it off the performance bonuses took the whole thing to a reported 3 years and $45 million.
If he had come back as a 4-5 win pitcher in 2008 we would have gotten no surplus value because of the bonuses. If he had come back as a 2 win pitcher we would have gotten no surplus value because his base in 2009 was $11 million. If he completely tanked the $13 million would have been lost.
It was a heads Mulder wins, tails the Cardinals lose scenario. That contract alone should have precluded Jocketty from GM-ing again.

yea he mentioned Tino, Mulder, Khalil Greene and others
He said Mulders was not nearly as bad b/c it was only 2 years 13million.
Then he said Tinos was only 27million and he was bad but not THAT horrible.
He said Lohse could turn it around with 2 years left but the 4 years/40million has to make it the worst, and that the team has won only like 11 out of his 33 starts since the new deal, with his ERA close to 6

Yeah it's turned out bad...
I would argue that handing Mark Mulder $13 million after his 2006 season when he had to be shut down twice and had obvious extreme shoulder problems was the single dumbest thing I’ve ever seen a Cardinals’ GM do*.
*Until June 2010 when Aaron Miles was summoned.

Did we pay Mulder $13MM total in that deal?
I ask because Lohse is going to make just under $13MM in each of 2011 and 2012.

The Mulder extension was beyond stupid. They should have drug tested Jock after that one, seriously.
i agree. at the time the contracts were signed, the Mulder deal was way worse.
There was no way to know Lohse was gonna come down with this crazy injury. But Bernies point at least was that this contract hurts the franchise much worse because of the amount of money/length of deal.

if they really don't sign those kids i don't see how they can keep saying they want to build from within
everything i’ve read says Cox & Wilson are worth what they are asking, so if they are give it to them already. put your money where your mouth has been for years already. otherwise it’s just Porcello & Kozma all over again.
Out of the crooked timber of humanity, no straight thing can be made
I am confident that Cox will sign.
I’ve always been less confident that Wilson would sign. He was first-round talent who fell to us in the 12th round. There is a reason that every MLB organization passed on him over ten times each before we drafted him. He all but said, “Don’t draft me because I’m going to Stanford.” Not signing Wilson will not so much be indicative of our organization’s willingness as his unwillingness.

they got my hopes up with him bringing him to the STL & taking BP
and having everyone gush over him. if they really never had a chance with the kid they never should have done that. doesn’t that say they at least have a shot & that it will probably come down to them not paying him what he wants?
Out of the crooked timber of humanity, no straight thing can be made
of course they have a shot
but the kid wants to go to stanford
"Moneyball: It's kind of like communism."

but does he want to play baseball at Stanford
or play baseball for the Cards during the break from college? He’ll be off starting June 16 and free until mid Sept.
Lets say they have a 5% chance of signing a kid with first-round talent.
They had better give it their absolute best shot. And they did. BP at Busch, photo with TLR, being shown around by California native Allen Craig (who just completed his degree). To me, it says a lot about the organization’s strategy that they signed Wilson, put on the full-court press, and are negotiating with him (and apparently offering first-round-ish money in those negotiations).

it was always a longshot chance...
good for the Cards for taking it and doing what apears to be their best to make something happen, but I think there’s very, very little chance he signs (indeed, there was always very little chance he would sign, which is why a first rd talent like Wilson slipped to the 12th rd in the first place).

all good points & guess you're all right about the recruiting
it just sucks because it got my hopes up & now it was probably for naught.
let me ask this, what if they were close on money & he still goes to college? what does that say about him? doesn’t it say he’d rather not get his career started & therefore isn’t the kind of player & guy everything thinks he is? because if he really wanted to play, he’d sign & play

Press: “So, show us the ring! Tell us about it!”
Duff: “It’s a 14-carat, radiant-cut. I love it!”
Press: “What was your reaction when he asked?”
Duff: “It was a no-brainer!”
Bad journalists often make a list of the facts they want to include in their article and then write clumsy sentences like the one about that, intentionally or unintentionally, make the person involved seem like they said something they didn’t. There are no quotes anywhere in that line, which means it’s not a direct quote, it’s a summary of what was said. I don’t know if Duff is actually a shallow bitch, but I do know that the only thing that the above line indicates is that the author is not particularly good at their job.

"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."
As a graduate of two SEC institutes
I can say that our academics are decent at best (Vandy excluded). I had an awesome time, and got a quality education, but for undergraduate studies, we just aren’t up to par with other major conferences. That’s okay, because athletic conferences are set up for athletics. But when a graduate (or even a fan) of, say, South Carolina makes fun of a graduate or fan of, say, Ole Miss, to me, that’s like a Pirates fan and an Astros fan arguing over which team is better. You could make an argument for either team, but in the end, they aren’t the Cardinals.

What would you rather watch?
Random off-day pondering becuase work is slow.
Which team would you rather watch -
a) A team that sends out a rotation of only Lee-Price-Wainwright-Carpenter-Halladay but every position is fielded by Aaron Miles; or
b) A team with featuring the a lineup of Pujols, Utley, Hanley Ramirez, Longoria, Holliday, Colby, RFL and Mauer, but every start is made by a 2-man rotation of Suppan and Ottavino?
I’d pick team b, not only because I love offense, but because it’d be fun to see if the offense was enough given that pitching.
b
that team would win a lot more games with 5 replacement level players and eight 5-9 WAR players than team a which has five – 5-9 WAR pitchers and 8 replacement level batters
"Moneyball: It's kind of like communism."

.322 BA!
in all seriousness, though, he’s on pave this year fo 1.9 WAR per 600 PA
take from that what you will
"Moneyball: It's kind of like communism."
twatter
He's also on pace to hit .341 on groundballs
Just normalizing that down to the expected .220 and he’s down to .264 overall with zero power/walks. Basically his entire line is propped up by the fluke of having 5 infield hits out of 44 groundballs. Brendan Ryan, who is a faster runner, has 5 infield hits on 113 groundballs……..Miles’ luck has been staggering for how shitty he hits the ball.

He was (at best) a below average defensive 3B back when he actually played 3B and hasn’t played the position with any regularity in over a year—-so he’s certainly worse now than when he played then. He’s at best -10, more like -15 and might be a true -20+ butcher right now. Maybe if he had an entire off-season he could play himself to respectability. Right now though it’s just not realistic to take a guy who has played the OF for a year (more like 2) and move him back to the IF and expect him to be anything better than “really bad”.
Not afraid to nitpick
he's coming off a broken hand/wrist thing, i wouldn't touch him

I would be shocked if Inge made it to us through waivers...
Too many teams would want him. Encarnacion is probably easier to aquire but he passed waivers a while ago, so I assume if we were interested we prob would of heard about it by now. I doubt Tony would want him on the team, I hear hes a bit of a headcase.

Waaaay OT- Weird/awesome situation at work
So something weird/awesome is about to happen outside my office.
The “new guy” is here and he locked himself out of his office (right next to mine).
So the maintenance dudes have been here for like an hour or 2 trying to pick his lock or something and they just told him “If this last thing doesn’t work, I guess we’re gonna have to break down the door.”
I am totally rooting for them to knock that thing down before i leave today.
UPDATE!
“The only thing I can do is knock the door down.” - From the maintenance guy tasked with this little problem.
And yes, I’m now listening to their radio back and forth.
Is it the guy's first day?
That would totally suck!

OT: Interesting story from Thursday
So I have a friend who works at Lumiere in downtown STL. Apparently, on Thursday night, when the Cubs got into town, a few Cubs players decided they would do some drinking and gambling. Apparently, Starlin Castro didn’t have a state-issued ID and security wouldn’t let him in. But one of the managers working at the time came over and let him onto the floor. A few minutes later, a dealer asked for his ID thinking he looked pretty young. Again, no ID, manager comes over a second time and tells him he can stay.
So now, that manager has been suspended and most likely will be fired for letting a minor on the floor…and allowing him to stay there.
Moral of the story: Starlin Castro will get you fired.
'Hold my stones!'
----Johnny Cueto fights like a little bitch----
"Didn't have a state-issued ID"
Probably because he’s not 21.

Well of course, I know how old he is...
I guess its not odd that they didn’t know.
'Hold my stones!'
----Johnny Cueto fights like a little bitch----
I think it's odd that the casino actually fired the guy
Having Starlin Castro on the floor means the other millionaire Cubs could be on the floor and lose a shitload of money.
Not afraid to nitpick
They are really strict with letting minors on the floor
If a security guard lets a minor on the floor, they get canned too.
'Hold my stones!'
----Johnny Cueto fights like a little bitch----
ya casinos can loose their gambling licenses for stuff like that

You don't have to be 21 to have an ID -- you get a driver's license when you're 16, after all
But yes, his age is certainly the larger problem on hand.

And in other baseball-related stupidity, Jose Canseco has signed on with an independent minor league team
He’s apparently going to be DH, bench coach, and pitcher. For anyone wondering, his MLB pitching career consists of one inning in 1993 in which he allowed three earned runs and blew out his arm (required TJ surgery, according to wiki). What could possibly go wrong?

well, unless you're just going to drop him behind the plate immediately, it also sucks a ton of value out of the

It's confusing...
service time accrues on the 25 man. Players can only be optioned in 3 different years (or 4, I think there’s a loophole), which is when someone is on the 40 man but not the active roster. Prospects not on the 40 man have to be added after 4 or 5 years, depending on their age, or be open to a draft.

This is one of my favorite stats...
Since Bonds left, the pirates have drafted 21 players in the first round + supplemental including seven in the top 5.
Total WAR to date from these 21 players… 12.5
Obviously Alvarez appears likely to increase this number, but Moskos and Lincoln both suck and their 2009 picks seem mediocre.
Fire La Russa!
Tony Sanchez doesn't look too bad.
Better than Ryan F. Doumit at least.

Yeah
he looked like a huuuuge reach but has actually played like a legit 1st rounder so far, if not perhaps a #4 pick. I think he’ll be a major league starter, apparently there’s no issue with his defence. I think the new FO might actually be pretty good at evaluating talent…

I thought all unsigned picks in the first and second rounds resulted in compensatory picks the following year.
Fire La Russa!
what is it in response to?
i was just reading something regarding the DBacks pick, Loux, who they’re not signing, and from what the article said, they get a compensatory pick next year, but THAT one is unprotected, meaning they get nothing if they don’t sign him.
is that relevant?

he means that the pick is protected now, but wouldn't be in 2011.
so an unprotected 2011 pick is not as valuable — that and the fact that you’re splitting the same budget among two high-ticket prospects.

For an average night game played at 7 PM, many players report at 12 PM to lift weights and do various early work (drills, early hitting, etc.). With the average game lasting nearly three hours, players are on the clock ten hours a day, which translates to 280 hours over the course of an average month.
In those same five states, the hourly minimum wage is $7.25 an hour. For a player making the Double-A minimum of $1,700 a month, he’ll earn $6.07 an hour while on the job.

Reminds me of what my wife is doing
She’s an intern (first year resident) at Children’s Hospital. They can easily work 80 hours in a week. She’s Q4 right now, which means she’s on call every four days, so she might be at the hospital something like 30 hours at a time, twice in one week. Residents tend to make something like 40,000 a year, I believe, but if you break that down to an hourly rate it’s very little.

Heh. This is true.
But when you’re on call and you have time to do anything other than take care of your patients, you’re probably going to go for that hour or two of sleep that you sometimes can get.

someone made a Joe Kelly comparison for Swagerty, which is probably pretty accurate. Blair also projects as a reliever. I think it would definitely be a below average draft without Cox or Wilson.

Right on...
I think the Nationals will start winning their division starting in 2012 or 13. The Mets and Phillies are poorly run and take on terrible contracts. The Fish are the Fish. That leaves the Braves.
Fire La Russa!
I don't think they'll overtake the Braves easily.
But if they get Harper and Cole out of this draft, that’s a huge win.
