minor dealings

Printyesterday, we picked up ian snell and miguel batista on minor league contracts. there's almost no such thing as a bad minor league pickup.
snell was a starter for years with the pirates and, for a few years, a pretty decent one. from 2005 to 2008 he struck out between 7.29 and 8.18 batters per nine innings; he walked between 2.94 and 5.14 batters per nine innings. he managed FIPs between 4.01 and 4.78 in those seasons, which qualifies as somewhere around decent to a little below average. looks like a fine #4 pitcher, right?
well, the bottom has dropped out in 2009 and 2010. he struck out fewer than 6 batters per nine in both seasons and walked 4.86 and 5.15 batters per nine. as his K:BB rate approaches 1, his value is totally dissolving.
he's always had pretty weak control. even in his good years, shown above, he had some awful walk rates. there's not even a magic westbrookian ground ball rate here to save him either - his career GB rate is 40.7%.
even that is less concerning than the following fangraphs chart:
snell's fastball velocity dropped year after year. from 2004 to 2007, his fastball consistently averaged 92.4 to 92.8 mph. in 2009 - 91.8; in 2010, 91.1.
sorry, but a guy who has not yet hit his 30th birthday who drops more than one mph off his fastball is probably not a fixable project. one might look at the raw numbers and just guess he's a good bounceback candidate because he was okay before. closer scrutiny makes him look like a guy who's just in decline across the board: slower, less control, not fooling batters.
also, this guy cannot pitch to lefties.
i like the move as depth, but i cannot see snell as being any better than what we have. i'd rather see adam ottavino - assuming he's healthy - start a game than snell. in many ways, the bryan augenstein acquisition was more interesting than this one. it's not a bad move, but it's not a good one.
we also picked up miguel batista, because this old guy started talking to us at the scrap heap and asked for a ride and we had room in the car. we gave him a lift and before we knew it, we were offering him a minor league contract.
first, batista's fangraphs page links you to this comment which reminds me amusingly of joe strauss's comment from last week:
Batista said he must either start or close this season. "You don't pay a guy $9 million to pitch middle relief," he told the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. 2/16/2009
lessee, how did that work out for seattle? he started no games in 2009, didn't get a save, and was replacement value. i guess, if you're not very good, you DO pitch middle relief for $9m.
batista hasn't made regular starting appearances (he scored a single start with the nats in 2010) since 2008 when he managed an appalling 6.23 FIP and was more than a win below replacement value.
like snell, batista walks too many - bill james calls him for 4.11 BB/9 in 2011 - and strikes out too few - projected for 5.99 K/9. now, he does have a career 49% GB rate, which is something. not enough something to make him a good pitcher, but something.
the problem here is that, to the extent either has any value, they probably make the most sense as ROOGys. but, you know, we have lots of RH relievers; we have salases and sanchezes lined up who are much better than either. neither snell nor batista looks like a very good starter. and neither - given snell's declining velocity (and whatever physical condition underlays it) and batista's advanced age - seem like a very good candidate for a duncan makeover (c) .
i didn't expect anything miraculous from a minor league contract. depth is valuable. remember that one time evan maclane joined the team for three days and tony la russa openly commented to the press words to the effect of "who the hell is this? i just asked for some bullpen help, and this is what they send?" yeah, that was awesome. so, to the extent that we have two more pj walters in the system . . . yay?

I would be STUNNED if either of these guys made the team.

hopefullly they don't accept going to Memphis
i do not want either of those two with a chance at the bullpen this season

more likely that one of them takes a bullpen spot from Salas or Sanchez
i hope they just go the way of Clement and Hill

Not in college bball game (UK had a GIANT comeback against LSU in the mid-90’s), or in a restaurant after hours. Although, you can count him out in the championship game of the 2on2 tournament at his 1996 UK father-son camp when he plays against my dad and i. 15-6. Try that comeback punk!

Yeah, I don't know him personally, but
he played for the Cardinals in the mid-50’s. Because of him, we sent ‘Country’ Slaughter to the Yankees, and he beat out Ernie Banks and Hank Aaron for Rookie of the Year. If you look at his baseball cards, you’d say his nickname should have been “One-brow”.

Jon Heymna is out with his biggest overpay/underpay of the offseason list....
Here is his #2 for each list:
2. Paul Konerko: $37.5 million, 3 years, White Sox.
2. Craig Counsell: $1.4 million, one year, Brewers.
In the mind of Heyman, each of these is the runner up for the most extreme contract of the year. Really.

It's different news
It means he won’t negotiate during spring training, either, so it has to happen probably before he reports to camp…

And with no other baseball news today,
Buster Olney decides to take to Twitter to resurrect the speculation on where else Pujols might sign if he hits free agency.
Cards have about a month to sign Pujols; if it doesn’t happen by then, he is intent on testing the free agent market. Cubs? Angels? Dodgers?
Giants could be another possibility for Pujols. I think the Cards can forget about the hometown discount with Albert;top of the market cost.
@ericbibb1 If Pujols goes to spring training without a deal, all bets are off. It’ll be a pure negotiation, no hometown favorite.

I used to build my own desktops
and had half a dozen or so winows laptops over the years. I freaked out after I bought a vista laptop in 2008 and bought a mac for the first time (I had used a buddies for awhile in 2002 and really liked it).
I’ve had the same imac for 2 1/2 years now and have never had a single problem with it. Like literally nothing has gone wrong. It’s pretty amazing. I know I need to upgrade in the next year or so (or just buy a new OS) but I really don’t want to. It’s like a magical computer.

i don't doubt that it Just Works
but it’s hard to program for windows and linux if all you have is a mac
my main issue with apple is how expensive their computers are. i can get way more computer for way less money elsewhere
Stand inside an empty tuxedo with grapes in my mouth, waiting for Ada

I used to think the same (re: Price)
but the $1200 I bought my mac for (+ $10 for Microsoft office) is essentially $400 a year for the least hassle I’ve had in a decade of owning/operating computers.
"In 2035, 25 young men will be able to call themselves world champions. Some of those guys haven’t even been born yet. And some of them are Asian." -Mike Shannon
but i paid half that to build my PC a year ago
and whenever the processor or the RAM or anything else is outdated, i replace the part, not the whole computer. if i decided i really like the mac OS, i could just install OS X. i’m not paying thousands of dollars for a pretty apple and a bunch of restrictions on what i can do with it. especially not for a secondary computer whose primary use will be traveling to school with me so i can get on the internet or watch the cardinals

"In 2035, 25 young men will be able to call themselves world champions. Some of those guys haven’t even been born yet. And some of them are Asian." -Mike Shannon
that's totally what i said
what i said is that i think it’s silly to pay $2200 for what i can build for $600. for people who don’ t know how to maintain computers or just don’t want to, they may be worth the extra money. i built my computer a year ago and after the most recent upgrades i put into it, i’m around $800. it’s pretty much as nice as a computer gets right now and i haven’t had any problems with it. it’s hard to improve on no problems. maybe a couple years down the line i’ll be proven wrong, but as of now, i see absolutely nothing that could make a computer worth 2x what i’ve spent so far on mine.
as far as laptops go, if i had a real need for a nice laptop and had the money, i would seriously consider a MBP. i’d probably run windows, but there aren’t any other laptops around with MBP’s battery life. that’s valuable
Stand inside an empty tuxedo with grapes in my mouth, waiting for Ada
twatter
I paid 1200
although I feel like I’m talking to myself as a 22 year old, (I defiantly felt the way you do now at your age), when you have stuff like a career, house, and relationships to worry about paying a little bit more for a product that causes you no concerns/maintenance and you don;t have to do the work yourself, the nominal extra money (if you can afford it) is worth it.

these moves are a bit concerning to me....
Yea its only minor league deals but with TLR running the team and making roster decisions the probable outcome is probably both or at least one of these guys taking some serious playing time away from some of our young bullpen prospects.
Snell doesn’t worry me as much, and has some value as a #6 starter/insurance, but I can definately see Bautista taking a roster spot away from Sanchez or Salas. If not to start the year then the first sign of trouble from Salas, TLR will push for the gritty vet. Its really too bad bc RHRP is our area of most depth and we are overloaded with young prospects who I would really love to see get a shot.
by mick311 on Jan 15, 2011 4:14 PM EST via mobile reply actions
these are the
type of moves that you could see them later down the road on the roster… a soup/miles/stav/winn type. the type everyone hates.
EH #2
SIGN ALBERT!!!
I am just confused as to why we are stockpiling castoffs right now
as opposed to later in the season.
Albert Pujols does not have "down" years. He has "~6 WAR" years.
It's even worse.
Bautista has an opt-out clause – if he’s not guarenteed a spot on the opening day roster by the final week of ST, he can become a FA. So if TLR, DD or the FO don’t want to lose his services, he pretty much would replace Salas (assuming Sanchez won’t make the roster immediately) on the roster. I think they’re thinking of him as a swingman, which is not Salas’ role at all…who else could he replace? Hopefully, he’ll suck, and they’ll just let him walk.

Thats not necessarily worse.
Tony doesn’t usually suffer from his usual Tony-ness in ST and will cut vets. if he sucks bad enough to be cut then we definatly won’t see him, which is good.
well.....
Guys he almost surely will not replace:
Boggs
McClellan
Motte
Franklin
Miller
The most obvious choice would be Salas since Tallet got a big league deal and Miller is the only other lefty. I don’t expect Sanchez to make the team out of ST, but I guess they could just go with 8 in the BP and keep Bautista.
That is a wierd signing though if that clause is in there. Either they aren’t that confident in Salas, are planning on going with 8 RP, or maybe we are reading into this wrong and they are really concerned about Lohse. Even if that were the case though, you would think with his contract they will at least let Lohse pitch into the regular season, no matter how bad his spring is. Bautista provides some good starter/swingman insurance with all the injury risks in our rotation, but allowing for that clause doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to me because he is useless until or unless someone went down.

Good post tom
But I disagree with this:
sorry, but a guy who has not yet hit his 30th birthday who drops more than one mph off his fastball is probably not a fixable project. one might look at the raw numbers and just guess he’s a good bounceback candidate because he was okay before. closer scrutiny makes him look like a guy who’s just in decline across the board: slower, less control, not fooling batters.
Most pitchers will lose significant velocity after their first few years in the bigs:
http://www.hardballtimes.com/main/article/preliminary-aging-curve-for-fastball-speed/
A drop of 1.5 MPH isn’t the concerning to me, especially because he still throws ~91. A drop in 1.5 MPH velocity usually about +.040 runs per 9.
http://www.hardballtimes.com/main/article/lose-a-tick-gain-a-tick/
So I don’t think the velocity is that big of a deal. His terrible K:BB numbers on the other hand….
Skip Schumaker is a scapegoat
thanks for the tht article. interesting.
I was guessing the combined loss of control and speed belied underlying injury. Time will tell.

context: one of my flat mates in relations to me
“i would have gone out [as in; gone to a club] with him, if he were straight’.

i AM a great wingman (for straight guys anyway)
Girls love guys who can dance.
But a) he didn’t know i was in earshot
b) it was only me and him that wanted to go out anyway.

The couple gay friends I have are horrible wingmen
#1. They obviously won’t get way-too-drunk and hit on the OtherGirl™, and conversation with the OtherGirl™ is necessarily not fun.
#2. They don’t seem to understand that it’s like the NBA, when you get into an iso set with the shot clock running down, don’t flash to my side and bring a defender!
Not afraid to nitpick
they evidently can't dance
I can, however.
This attracts females; i go limp-wristed (literally) and the girls swarm all over my friends. Simple.
I guess it wasn't in dance club situations, but still
Those were a couple Wingman 101 lessons, SSS and all.
On the club note: I have no rhythm solo, but I have been told multiple times that I am somehow good at “grinding” or whatever you’d like to call it. I call it “a socially acceptable method to skip to 2nd base with girls you don’t know”, but in any case, it still makes me laugh.

its complicated but here is what happned tonight. Me and a few other people wanted to go out. Everybody, except for me and this other guy pulled out. Despite everything (us being friends, the two of us wanting to go out etc.) he refused to go unless more people would come. and i overheard him say that purely by accident.

Good to know that no matter what happens
gdm will always have an immature sense of humour.
Also, 100% Nope.
well if nothings going on with you, is someone else causing him problems?
maybe he’s taking out his aggression on you because he can’t get to them?
i tend to think since there’s never been anything like this that happened before he was just blowing off steam & didn’t really mean it. even though i firmly believe most people suck & are bastard coated bastards with bastard filling, i’d like to believe the guy didn’t really mean it.
and yes, i’m still a 12yr old boy at heart. probably why i’m single.
All I've got is a broken heart, memories & dreams that I can't drink away
I agree with you, but only because i'm a sucker and will always give people 2nd chances
And being single is underrated; couples suuuuuck.
Also; lololololoololol i said ‘sucker’.
i give people more than one chance as well
i’ll i know is the single life, and yes it does have it’s advantages. but i’m tired of being alone.

could it be that he was more worried about how others
Would perceive him going out with just you?thus less homophobic as much as personally insecure.

Just got back from the Cardinal Caravan.
Got some autographed baseballs from Garcia, Craig, Miller, Reitz, and Lawless. Didn’t really learn much from the questions that were asked during the Q&A outside of the fact Fred Bird doesn’t go to spring training (a 4 or 5yr old girl asked). For some reason they skipped over the question of “Does Tony Larussa make you adopt a pet?”
I did ask Garcia how his arm was and he stated its great and he’s ready to start. I nearly followed up asking if he was in the best shape of his life but I didn’t.
Nearly won a sluggy but the person who got the ticket before me won.

something about women being the thing that mainstream society desires, so it is encouraged more to desire women, who are desired by men, technically making yourself more like a man. Desiring other men, who are generally the objects of aggression or competition is discouraged because it’s seen as submitting. Or are you talking about gay sex.

So we signed Ramon Vazquez
Which pretty much kills my Willy Aybar dream. (I’m assuming Aybar is still unsigned)
The player I would like least at #9 would be my sister’s cat, Captain Creamsicle. She does have a great work ethic and agility, but I’m really concerned that at 9 lbs., she’s too small to play safety in the NFL. She also bites way too often on play action and is easily distracted by someone waving string in the crowd. Lastly, her wonderlic score was pretty awful, answering "meow meow meow" for most of the questions- Dr. Brackish Okun
we probably will see Vazquez on the team this season
just because it would make sense after last season when they wouldn’t give Gotay a chance

Right then, good night all (or should that be good morning...)
I’ll leave you to debate the intricacies of ‘on man’ or ‘on woman’….. yeah.
Laters. Tonights been fun, lets do it again some time.
Missed this one:
Fox_Sports_MW Congrats to former #stlcards OF Chris Duncan. He is getting married tonight in St. Louis.
Congrats, Chris.

I assume it's a shotgun wedding with the '06 world series trophy.
The PDA between the two was just ridiculous.

My great wit allows me to interject that by assuming the partakers of this conversation are inbedded and perhaps romantically entangled, rather than indeed, the truthful observation that they are both platonic and standing upright. Great comedy may be produced!! -Aranathor

That'd be the slowest shotgun wedding in history.
They do make a cute couple, though.
Boog woulda.

I'm pretty sure the trophy is underage...
scandal!

Yes, I am certain of this.

I know right
Currently its 8am. And i am too drunk to sleep. (i know, i didn’t think that was possible either, apparently it is)
that must be weird
when it’s late for you, most of us are eating dinner and not on VEB so you adjusted and decided to make late for you actually be morning over there
well then

i don't think it sounds that fun
only because when I pull all-nighters, the next day is a bitch so I normally avoid them

when i get to 4 or 5 am,
I just say fuck this and go to bed
That has happened frequently lately so I guess the next natural progression is 7 or 8 am but I don’t think I will get there

I'm gonna go out for a dawn stroll / run (depending on how my brain copes with outside-ness)
here’s hoping someone else turns up. And if i’m not around later its safe to assume i’ve passed out from exhasution, or dead.
i honestly don't think anybody else is here
Also on the above post I meant to put “I agree” before the whole comment but it dissapeared in the process
