David Freese Community Projections Results

PrintWhat I can tell from the results of our David Freese Projection Two-for-One: That nobody trusts Freese to stay healthy, and that everybody is excited to see someone other than Aaron Miles and Felipe Lopez's Ghost soaking up at-bats as his replacement. Collectively our heroes hit .270/.331/.414, which is an OPS 90 points higher than the third basemen collectively managed in 2010. Freese accounts for 115 games worth—he played 70 in 2010, so this is an improvement—while you projected 51 games for everyone else.
The extra 45 games of Freese are big deal enough, even though his .278/.341/.435 line isn't so OBP-heavy as he managed in his rookie season. (He also pops 14 home runs and drives in 64 in this scenario, which looks a little more like a real season than his punchless debut.)
But it's the way we projected his replacements that makes the difference. Despite Nick Punto's .247/.321/.322 career mark, the replacements collectively look a lot like Randy Winn here: A .245/.314/.373 line, which means that Punto is either benefiting from dinger camp as we speak or too busy covering Skip Schumaker to spend time at third after David Freese is struck by a decommissioned satellite while rounding the bases in Johnson City.
That .128 isolated-slugging makes me think that the Craigen is at least briefly unleashed in community-projection-universe; Punto was the runaway winner of our poll on the topic, with 60% of the vote, but Craig picked up a healthy 22% of the vote on his "anybody can play second base, and third base is even easier" platform.
This kind of production from Freese and the Puntettes would be a major improvement over what we saw last year, something like two wins if I did my Runs Created math correctly. It would also be slightly worse than what the National League as a whole hit at third base last year. This kind of improvement is possible when you give Pedro Feliz 35 games at third in which to hit .212/.230/.254.
(Pedro Feliz fun fact: That's approximately what the 1884 Kansas City Cowboys of the Union Association hit. They were put together in a hurry after another team collapsed midseason in a league that was basically one giant vanity project and finished the season 16-63 before disbanding. They played 51 different players; you probably could have just walked on, if you were interested. They might have made Feliz try out.)

Tracking 20 stats this year, though nothing exotic:

I haven't been able to get to a computer out of work, which firewalls me, but
consider Snidley Whiplash back in for more punishment this year.
Baseball's only fun if you're playing it, watching it, or thinking about it.
agreed.
i’d just like to have a little confidence in who will man the position….. instead of TLR’s grab-bag, magic-pixie-dust sprinkling, multiple-choice-palooza.
Well even if Freese goes down and TLR goes all TLR and puts a different guy at 3B each night
the options he has to choose from this year are superior than what we ended the year with.

Right now maybe
But the freese/Lopez tandem looked pretty dang good at the beginning of last year so it’s only a matter of time until we deal for Pedro Feliz again.

I think the uptick in confidence comes from the competition for back-up existing.
Tony really hates lack of production from an position, so if Craig or Carpenter can pull off an opportune hot streak then Punto will begin to get less at bats. Punto will surely have dibs on the first try, though.

Completely agree.
If not Freese, then there are at least capable hitters and fielders to man the position.
I am way more comfortable with Punto/Craig/Greene//Carpenter than Lopez/Miles/Feliz.

didn’t work out so well though. On paper though the 2011 options seem better.

And kidney stones are MUCH smaller.
Also, women suffer kidney stones, too. And those parts aren’t so stretchy on women either. My mom had one a few months ago and she said she almost passed out from the pain. This from a tiny woman who had two children without epidurals or pain medicine.

I was watching an Illini football game
in the room with the Dr. during my wife’s labor (they lost) and as if that wasn’t painful enough, they made me watch him crown, cut the cord, and look at the placenta. The women get the easy part, I tell you.

this is why I didn't give that rationale
kidney stones are much smaller, but are passing through a much smaller canal/tube than your baby will. But, both men and women experience kidney stones. Mrs. Scoot’s mother had 4 kids and 1 kidney stone, IIRC, she said the kidney stone was the most painful of the bunch.

the previous ones i guess did take me quite a while, plus there wasn’t the hype machine going on since they’d all been out for a while before i ever listened.

So abrasive, and dead wrong to boot!
For one I didn’t go into the album with any “expectations” – I said I hoped they would have gone back to a more rocky feel because those have been my favorite Radiohead songs. I was particularly hoping for some jazzy songs, but I knew there was no chance of that.
Secondly, I thought the album sucked balls. Not because I was hoping for “MOAR GUITARS” you jerkwad, but because the songs had little in the way of melody, had no growth within the song, and were just flat out not good in my opinion.

I’ve listened to it twice today. I do think Little by Little and Seperator are the best tracks (Seperator is good because they is actually some addition as the song goes along, with the sweet little guitar licks in the background). I wouldn’t call any of these classics – more tolerable.

"I used to keep a box of Milky Ways in my fridge at home. I'd eat one after each loss, for cold comfort. If we won I'd have a glass of sparkling wine and a single Mike & Ike -- which in retrospect I guess might have helped pack the pounds on, too."

Actually I can see why you think this sounds a bit like Amnesiac
Codex has a similar feeling to Pyramid song. But I don’t like it nearly as much – it sounds much more like Coldplay.
I’ll give you an example of why I love Amnesiac and don’t like this. You and Whose Army starts off straight forward and mellow – good chords, very quiet – then 2 minutes in it explodes. That doesn’t happen with any song on King of Limbs – they start off with the music and it basically just stays that way fro the duration of the song.
Life in a Glasshouse is also my favorite Radiohead tune, so that might be it. That’s a fantastic jazzy song with real instrumentation, and it generates a very sad, 40’s french cafe at 3 AM type feeling \.

Yeah it does
It has a cool guitar lick and good drumming.
That’s the best part of the album – the drumming and the bass. Unfortunately, I think those are the two least important parts of music and most of the songs are just really boring to me.

Oh cool, baseball analogies
That’s kind of a non-sequitar however.
I disagree anyway. To me, drum and bass are the bare foundations – the music sounds a little raw without them, but they are never the main show and they really aren’t that versatile. Making them the centerpiece of your music makes really boring music.

Disagree
One of my favorite songs ever is “If” on Atom Heart Mother. The drum and bass don’t even come in until 3 minutes into the song, and they are very minimalist.
I suppose that’s not half hearted, but rather sparse and well placed. As I said, drums and bass are best to give a song depth, not to be the the driving part of the song.

were claiming yesterday the BSOML is simply due to being able to work out and eat better during the offseason. They were saying the postgame spreads and food being around all the time is why guys get out of shape and balloon up during the season. Then they get to the offseason, eat healthy and workout every day and get the weight off. I’m more inclined to think that they do eat somewhat healthy during the season and that the everyday work helps to burn off any empty calories.

Probably.
Half his games are away from home. That’s a lot of meals she isn’t preparing or watching over. Josh works a very physically demanding job. And he’ll eat anything I make him, no matter how healthy. But left to his own devices, he doesn’t make healthy choices. He eats sugar cereal by the mixing bowl and greasy Chinese food, and giant bowls of ice cream, and MORE MORE MORE. And he’s not a millionaire athlete with access to fancy restaurants at least 81 dinners a year. Obviously not an apples-to-apples comparison, but Josh knows how important his fitness is to his work and he knows why he shouldn’t eat half a box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, but he does it anyway because he knows he’ll eventually burn it off.
Albert also had offseason elbow surgery in 2008/09 and 2009/10. He couldn’t start weight lifting as early as he normally does. But he always shows up to spring training trimmer than he is during the season. During the season, Albert’s often battling chronic injuries that probably prevent him from working out as hard as he would. I’m sure other players go through that as well.
If you don't want my foot on your throat, I'll need to hear the safe word.
josh sounds like my kind of guy

He's said before that he doesn't watch what he eats during the season
and doesn’t care about calories because he knows he needs the energy. Then in the offseason he goes on a strict diet/workout regiment, which, leads to people wondering why he is so much leaner every spring training.
It’s literally been happening for ten years now. Trust me, come August he won’t be lean.

but you wanted to play everyday
Hollywood you were a superstar
and pain was the price we paid

Discussions between Cardinals’ team physician Dr. George Paletta, the Cardinals Medical Staff and Edmonds’ treating physicians, reached a conclusion that the severity of Edmonds’ injury, the status of his recovery and his current prognosis, would prevent Jim from being medically cleared to play.
Paletta also informed Edmonds that he could not guarantee that he would not be at significant risk for Achilles rupture or another more significant injury. “After speaking with Dr. Paletta and a number of doctors about the potential risk of future permanent damage, I have decided to retire,” said Edmonds. “Although I feel that I can still play and contribute, the risk of permanent injury is too much for me to chance. As much as I regret this announcement, I feel that it is for the best.”

I've missed out on a lot of the recent Albert talk.....
Anybody else disappointed in what it “appears” the Cardinals offered? I mean, I know we can’t go $300M, but we should be able to do better than $200M over roughly the same time frame.
I’d love to know what the owners pocket each year. Is it so little that they cannot give up a little bit to raise payroll for Albert alone?
I don’t know, I guess I just expected a little better effort than what it appears we made.
Also.....
Will it affect how you think of Albert is he goes chasing every last dollar and ends up in NY or Boston, or something like that?
none of what was reported is true
and that it’s negotiating strategy on both sides
he’ll sign next year some time after he files for free agency
there will be a lot of espn speculation then too so prepare yourself

As this now appears red
I guess I’m forced to address it. There’s someone that I work with whom I really can’t stand. We’re cordial in passing but there’s common knowledge that we shouldn’t be assigned to work on the same projects. On a couple of occasions, he’s unexpectedly answered questions I had writ to my group at large and I didn’t take his responses well. It’s hard for me to tell whether he’s being sincere or disingenuous and, likely because he dislikes me, he come across as gruff at times.
That seems like a roughly analogous situation here. It’s obvious that Stanley and d-dee don’t get along terribly well. It would probably have been the better part of valor for d-dee to just let his initial comments pass. Stanley’s comment that I’m replying too was certainly unnecessary and on the condescending side. (Though let’s be honest: some of you crying foul can be just as condescending to people – fang anyone? – even if you intend it in a somewhat lighthearted manner.)
So all that said, Stanley was out of line and it would have been prudent for d-dee to let the comment pass in this instance. I’m not immune to this — TPG sucks me in on a regular basis — but my hope is that this is the end of this tit-for-tat between Stanley and d-dee. Thanks.
Silly humans, this world is for robots.
I thought d-dee did let the comment pass?

nothing about his comment would have been over the line if he hadn't felt the need to say "some chick"
that, IMO, takes the comment to a different level.

OK, funny story
So back in the day in the early 70s, my dad was student in Rome (I told another story of his about Fiat 500s on VEB once) and he definitely checked out Munich (or München if people are picky about that) during Oktoberfest.
Back in those days all the trains in Italy (actually, Italy probably still uses some of the same trains) had signs near the windows that said “don’t lean out” in various languages. My dad spoke quite a bit of German but his buddy basically only knew a few phrases, including that one.
So he and his buddy have been hanging out in the tents drinking beer all day, and need to visit the men’s room. There’s basically a trough to pee in (think Wrigley Field) and his buddy is pretty drunk. A German gentleman, also pretty drunk, stumbles in and starts going next to them.
So my dad’s friend, all of a sudden, yells in a very loud voice, “NICHT HINAUS LEHNEN!!!”
The poor German man is totally taken by surprise, does something like the drunken German equivalent of “WTF!!!” and there is lots of spray.

I wish I had kept up
after I took a year of German in grad school. I can recognize a few words, etc., but definitely can’t communicate.
I was passing through Germany on an overnight train leaving a meeting in Budapest just a few years after taking said courses. The customs guy came by and asked me if I spoke German (at least I understood that much!). I told him “klein” and he proceeded to ask me when I was leaving the country. Not too difficult a sentence to understand, right? After I stared at him blankly for a few seconds, he repeated the question in English. I can only imagine the “stupid American” thoughts that went threw his head.

Back when I was in grad school
there was a language competency test. A real test, not one of those silly multiple choice machine-graded things – they just gave you three paragraphs from three different disciplines and said “translate”.
LitCrit piece: no problem. History piece: no problem. Sociology: totally impenetrable. I worried at it for half an hour before I realized, this isn’t my problem, it’s really bad german. So I translated it literally, then said “and here’s what he was trying to say …” And I passed.
But I’ve always wondered if the prof who put the awful piece in knew what he was doing.

Good thing I didn't have to do that
I never would have passed. And when I said “kept up” above, I really meant “kept going (taking more classes)”. I did pass the final oral exam each semester, but it was the usual inane stuff like “I’d like to rent a double room, please”.

their logic is completely flawed
You could even argue that Pujols is already paid too much. According to fangraphs.com, another respected statistics site, among position players Pujols finished third in WAR in 2010, behind Josh Hamilton of the Texas Rangers and Joey Votto of the Cincinnati Reds. Hamilton made a $3.25 million salary last season: having generated 8.0 wins above replacement, each of Hamilton’s wins cost the Rangers $406,250. Votto was a true steal: at a $525,000 salary and 7.4 WAR, he cost the Reds $70,946 per win. Pujols, on the other hand, cost the Cardinals close to $2 million per win ($14,595,953 in salary, 7.3 WAR). In fact, among the top 10 leaders in WAR, Pujols ranked ninth in cost-per-win. Cardinals outfielder Matt Holliday, who signed a seven-year, $120 million contract with the club last off-season, was tenth, at over $2.3 million.

Right. Nevermind that they're all in different places in their careers.
If you don't want my foot on your throat, I'll need to hear the safe word.
And comparing a player to someone who is perceived to be a "bargain"
does not make that player “overpaid”.

frankie, how’s the knuckleball doing and can we look forward to seeing more of it this season? also, how many pitches do you throw by now?
Ryan Franklin:
Ive been throwing the knuckleball a couple times at the end of each bullpen session to keep him fresh. I plan to bust him out when needed but I don’t like to use it too much. I just did a quick count and I’m at eight pitches right now. four-seem fastball, sinking fastball, cutter, curveball, changeup, knuckleball and two different split-fingered fastballs. But you never know…a ninth could be on the way!

i have a theory... i believe that he genuinely wants to play only for the cards
he knows that the cardinals are scared to death of a contract like a-rods (they have been bitten recently by mulder… lohse… etc…)
he and his agent are doing everything that they can though to get the best possible contract from the cardinals and going all the way to free agency is a way to basically scare them and ensure they make their best offer.

well I figure what Albert really wants is a ring.
he knows the shuffle isn’t done yet among the different clubs — three or four of them are struggling with money problems, there’s a lot of loaded farms which could become unloaded, there’s a lot of older superstars who may unload themselves, and managers have moved around.
the theory is, he’s really delaying negotiations so he can see who makes a run in October. if the Cardinals can’t make it out of a division where they’re the favorite… the leverage will be on Albert’s side.
this means if they’d made a deeper playoff run in the last two years (which was, after all, following two solid years of rebuilding), the contract would be sealed by now.
would've.
"But listen, and understand: more Molinas are out there..." - THT
five days after the World Series.
if, GOB willing, the Cardinals win the World Series, Albert will sign for life on Day One.
would've.
"But listen, and understand: more Molinas are out there..." - THT
hmmmmmm
that is quite nefarious… one thing that i have been wondering about the whole Albert to the Cubs thing (and this kinda has to do with what your theory is). They are supposed to have a bunch of money coming off the books after this year. However, that money is their 3B as well as one of their top starting pitchers. If they devote a chunk of that money to a big contract for albert, then who do they get with the remaining money to fill in those spots?
"I want to make 'Mo' a genius."

the management of their minor league system is so terrible, still.
one Castro does not get them away from the Brewers or Reds.
and quite frankly, I don’t see how the cubs have a chance. they’d be asking Albert to live in those dungeons they call clubhouses, full-time. Albert’s been here ten years. it’s the devil you know — after ten years, I don’t think you could pay him enough money to do that, even if they could get past the cream of the NL.

"But listen, and understand: more Molinas are out there..." - THT
now... if you're saying Phillies. or Rangers.
that seems slightly more plausible.

"But listen, and understand: more Molinas are out there..." - THT
I mean, the thing is, we're looking at it from OUR point of view.
that is, Albert has x number of years of peak productivity.
from Albert’s point of view, he has x number of years to get a ring. I don’t think he cares what a club’s going to do in 10 years. he’s likely not going to be playing regularly, ten years from now.

I figured out who it was.
She appears to have some urinary stuff going on. the second of our cats to have such problems since we’ve lived here. I think the hard water is affecting them. Anyway, since we already have a cat with such issues, I’m starting the newly sick cat on the urinary formula food and I’m going to have to get a Brita filter for the cats’ water.
So, for now, it doesn’t appear to be jealousy. I watched this cat attempt to pee 4 times in less than 20 minutes. She kept her eyes tightly closed the whole time and nothing really came out, poor baby. Hopefully we’ve caught it in time.
If you don't want my foot on your throat, I'll need to hear the safe word.
one of our boys had urinary crystals and now he has to eat special food from the vet
he is very needy though and freaks out whenever we leave for longer than a day. I’m thinking he is going to have a rough time getting used to a baby whenever we have one
