semi-fond goodbyes

a quick corral of news around baseball:
ex-cardinals division, vol I: braden looper retired. looper had a mostly replacement value career, briefly peaking as a reliever in 2003-06. after a year of backing up the train wreck that was jason isringhausen in 2006, he famously underwent a conversion to starter. he was a tolerable starter, which made him a veritable gem on the 2007 team which saw starts from kip wells, a struggling anthony reyes, an inexplicably present mike maroth, . . . . ugh. i successfully block out the keenly physical pain i felt in the 2007 season watching this hideous parade of sub-replacement value starters. looper's retirement has made me recall it.
to express how appalling that team was, braden looper was our #2 starter on the team in value. he tied for our second most valuable pitcher. the other second most valuable pitcher goes to . . . russ springer. randy flores, of all people comes in fourth. randy keisler, mark maroth, brad thompson, and mark mulder all started 30 games between them, and none of them even managed a replacement value performance.
although looper was a decent starter, his okay performance as a starter basically matched his peak value as a reliever. he put together 1.7, 1.1, and 1.0 WAR in his best years as a reliever and managed 1.2 and 1.6 WAR as a starter in 2007 and 2008. the bottom dropped out later, and a 34, 35, 36 year old looper was not what he had been.
anyway, for being a part of our 2006 champion team, for being a steady presence on our 2008 team, and most of all, for being our #2 starter in 2007 and saving me from having to watch even worse pitchers start games, i salute you braden looper.
ex-cardinals division, vol II - not knowing when to quit: kip wells signed a minor league deal with the nationals. i believe earlier this off-season i said something like, there's no such thing as a bad minor league contract. that remains true, but there sure are some not very good ones. remember how painful it was to watch kip wells in 2008? here's a stat for you: 2008 was his BEST SEASON of the last five. you have to go back to his pittsburgh days to find a decent season of work. i guess if i were 33 and knew i could make $400K a year by hanging on as a seventh reliever somewhere, i'd probably keep going, too. at least he's on the nats, and not our team.
for those of you who like to salivate over colby rasmus, this is a nice blurb.
confidential to joe s. at the post-dispatch: if you're going to loudly defend ryan theriot by saying that spring stats don't mean much and that he's working on his swing (which i think is a fair response), it's intellectually inconsistent to kvetch about jaime garcia and jason motte's poor spring stats when both are working on their pitches. of course, if you make your living as a mainstream media concern troll, you have to complain about something . . . .
for reasons which are unclear to me, the good people at fangraphs are bringing back their annual team rankings features. i was very critical of the rankings in 2009 (as well as dave cameron's condescending responses to decent questions). then, the 2010 rankings came out which made #6org almost as big a twitter phenomenon as bieber fever. i fail to understand why a group of writers who pride themselves on putting together a blog of objective, statistically reinforced observations about baseball want to dive in to such a subjective, speculative rankings system with both a poor track record and no meaningful methodology.
the rankings have a history of putting together terrible assessments of teams, assessments that prove wildly inaccurate. the assessments are better than random assignment of rank by computer - a random number generator sometimes would give you the yankees at #28, the pirates at #1, the indians at #4, the phillies at #14, the giants at #23, etc. the rankings are not clearly better, though, than polling a randomized group of baseball fans. these annual rankings don't contribute at all to any objective understanding of baseball and serve mostly to discredit a highly visible SABR site. feel free to review the 2010 rankings and the 2009 rankings. a cynical person might suggest that the site enjoys the page views stirred up by the controversy. while that might lead to short-term gains, it seems like bad long-term policy for a site whose main asset is ultimately its credibility. well, that, and a wonderful trove of statistical information which i find very useful.
personally, features like this mean i mostly go to the site to look up stats on the database rather than read the articles.

i wanted to challenge, at least partially, some of the conventional wisdom on our catching prospects. first, bryan anderson is a real prospect. he has had a pretty steady, though unspectacular level of production in memphis. he has, according to anecdotal reports, significantly improved his defensive skills. he has also been stuck at AAA for three seasons, far too often splitting playing time with absolute non-prospects (e.g., pagnozzi).
in the past four seasons, here's the line that anderson has put up, with the level and number of PA's indicated.
|
Year/Level |
PA's |
wOBA(SC) |

2007/AA |

.343 |
|
2009/AAA |
174 |
.321 |
|
2010/AAA |
294 |
.346 |
the wOBA numbers are from statcorner.com, which vary by a few points from those at fangraphs.
tony cruz has had a pretty successful run in the minors, though his development has been far slower than anderson, who reached AAA at the age of 21. he only converted to catcher in 2008.
|
Year/Level |
PA's |
wOBA(SC) |
|
2007/A |
215 |
.364 |
|
2008/A+ |

|
2009/AA |
444 |
.301 |
|
2010/A+ |
202 |
.364 |
|
2010/AA |
175 |
.367 |
the raw offensive numbers for cruz are comparable. the obvious and significant caveat is that the numbers come mostly from palm beach and springfield, while anderson's numbers come from memphis. the PCL is not quite as hitter-friendly as the Texas League, and the pitching is more developed.
i am NOT saying that cruz and anderson are similar prospects or equally likely to pan out. i am saying that a major, and to my mind the major, difference between the two is anderson's level of experience. it may be cruz can't hit a lick at AAA. i suspect that he will have substantial success, however, and there's some chance that he hits comparably to anderson. without much time at AAA for cruz, anderson is projected by ZIPs for a .706 OPS, and cruz for a .657. that's a meaningful gap, although both would be pretty acceptable for a backup catcher. gerald laird nets a .644 projection - but the decision to go with him is a story for another day.
the trump card that cruz holds is his defense. catcher defense is still a very subjective matter. however, what little statistical evidence there is at the minor league level militates in his favor. cruz has had a caught stealing rate of 53% for two seasons running. anderson's CS numbers at memphis go, in reverse chronological order: 31%, 28%, 36%. anecdotally, cruz is now ranked the best defensive talent on the team. there's no good way to turn catcher defense, especially in the minors, into a measurable quantity. but there's lots of reasons to be bullish on cruz's defense.
the broad theme i am aiming at here is that it will be very interesting to watch how these two fare in memphis. if cruz puts up even comparable numbers to anderson, we could see a change in our top catching prospect list.

they're either going to be awesome or suck
or just be okay. I think just okay, 2nd or 3rd in the division maybe. No playoffs again, sigh. This was already going to be a tight race before Wainwright got injured, and the 3-4 wins we’re gonna lose there are probably going to doom us.
My favorite words are goodbye, and my favorite color is red
just ok, IMO
waino being out for the year definitely hurt the team. if garcia continues to struggle, that would be a disaster for our pitching (considering we literally have no depth if someone gets hurt or the like).
i’d pretty much agree with mattyp, but i’ll go one step further: the obvious with albert.

Maybe when the Berkman experiment fails,
after his arms and one leg fall off, they will trade/acquire another outfield bat.
I think Albert, Holiday, Molina, and Cody will be just fine.
The Riot, Skippy, Berkman will be disappointments.
I’m predicting Freese will stay healthy and have a great year.
This should be enough to put us within two or three games of the division title.
(Pitching about on par with brewers, reds, and tiny bears.)
They already have that outfielder on the roster.
Allen Craig should get the at bats if Berkman goes down permanently.

We can still stay in it with a lot of luck
if we’re lucky with injuries now and both the Brewers and Reds have a key player go down, it evens things up a lot again.

Did you mean 2007? That was the year he was on the Cardinals. You actually mentioned that in the first paragraph, though. Just kind of confused me. Unless you meant his 2008 season with Colorado and KC.
yes - not sure how I messed that up, since I said 2007 elsewhere.

Albert Pujols does not have "down" years. He has "~6 WAR" years.
Yeah, but I don't think they count toward the number...
You beat me on this one. I did it the other day and only got around 18-20, IIRC.
If it's a meme, or looks like it might be a meme, I do not get it.
I was surprised I got so many
You have to remember players that have been on certain teams for a while, and then remember which ones are likely to rack up a decent amount. It was pretty hard to even come up with a position player currently on the Royals who could possibly have that many hits with them, and that I actually knew the name of.

Always quite liked Looper
seemed to do his job with a minimum of fuss and, without looking it up, he was one of the cornerstones of our solid bullpen in the championship season and I recall him putting in some good innings in close games during the playoffs.
I think he was arguably slightly under-rated as a reliever, because his skillset (relatively few Ks but good command) didn’t fit in the typical closer profile, and he was probably never more than a decent set-up man anyway.

I don't think that play would have been easy for anyone. Also, Freese, or whoever was at 3rd, didn't do a great job of getting out of the way.
I think it’s reasonable to wish we had Boog on D… He was really, really fun to watch. But head-hunting Theriot, especially on marginal plays like yesterday, is just absurd. When he sucks, well, I’ll be with you calling him out for sucking, but I really don’t understand why some are taking such delight in any failure of his, even when it’s not a particularly big failure.

When did Salas reach Garcia levels?
Salas is a fungible right-handed relief arm. He had a 4.52xFIP last year for a whopping 0 WAR. He’s had a good spring and been pretty good in the minors but he needs to not walk people to be effective. Salas is cheap and serviceable and I’d rather have him than Batista, but he hardly deserves the “Garcia treatment.”

bleh
Two things
1) I didn’t know Salas was that average – He must of hit a rock somewhere at the end of the season when I stopped paying attention because he was doing awesome at first.
2) I don’t use WAR for relievers and I’m a little iffy on FIP on determining how good they pitched. For one, I think Salas and his 3.52 ERA were of some value to the team, moreso than 0.0 fWAR. He was damn good in his first year with an 8.51 K/9 and he also has a minor league history of having a good BB/9. So what I basically meant was that he should be in the mix and not have to fight for his spot, because of his track record.
I was overstating Garcia to make a point by showing our worst pitcher and saying he should still have made the team. I would probably stand by that given how little Spring Training matters in seeing how a pitcher perform and for he is still a better bet than our other relievers (Bautista, Sanchez…)

This is the first time I actually watched him pitch. He looked good.
If it's a meme, or looks like it might be a meme, I do not get it.
He's been one of my personal causes
But unfortunately I didn’t take up his cause until after the spring training predictions post, so there’s not much evidence of it.
Albert Pujols does not have "down" years. He has "~6 WAR" years.

Yeah, let's see what we've got from Augenstein beyond ST
It’s not a bad thing to have one guy in the bullpen who we can throw in there in games that are shot by the sixth. Nobody will care about Batista’s psyche, feelings or arm. I think what we saw from him in the Mets game is the ideal spot for him. Mop-up.
Augenstein doesn’t exactly have long record of success in the minors, plus he’s only 24. He showed well this spring, so I think it’s not a bad idea to keep him working more regularly in the minors and let him gain consistency with whatever is making him rather newly successful.
If it's a meme, or looks like it might be a meme, I do not get it.
yeah, I'd rather see augenstein start in memphis than relieve in st. louis
if tallet starts on the DL I’d kind of like to see sanchez get the spot. he’s got a longer track record of beating up the minors and there’s a non-zero chance he could impress duncan/la russa, stick for 2011, and help the team immediately.
relievers are so fickle I'm not as worried about it as I would be otherwise
if he’s ready, he’s probably as ready as he’ll ever be.
as glib as i sounded, i actually agree
i can’t see how batista is considered a better bet to pitch well
i think he really needs to break camp with the big club
if he’s the closer of the future, he needs some big league innings. i’d rather see him on the team than salas, honestly

So, Mike Hampton finally hung 'em up.
One of the all-time coulda been great careers cut short by injury? Or a decent pitcher that had a nice peak?
93-97 his bWAR bounces from -1.1 to 1.7. Most of this on some pretty solid Houston teams.
98-2000 He’s great, peaking with 6.4 bWAR in 99.
01-02 He signs his mega deal with Colorado, but his control tanks. A groin injury and the thin air conspire against him.
03-05 With Atlanta, he reverts back to the solid, if unspectacular, pitcher he had been early on.
05 was the beginning of the end, of course. TJ cut short 05 and scrubbed his 06 seasons.
After than, an inexplicable pile of injuries prevented him from pitching in 07 and only starting 13 games in 08.
09 and 10 he’s hanging around the fringes of a rotation, still battling injuries.
His contract with Colorado is widely regarded as one of the worst FA signings ever. Was it bad for Hampton too? If he had signed with a club that played somewhere around sea-level, would he have had better production while he was still healthy? His home/road splits show that he was ineffective either way. Did he try to change something during that time that contributed to his injuries?
Also:
Hit 7 Home Runs in 2001 on the Rockies after not hitting any previously in his career. At least the thin air helped him somehow.

Hampton was actually a pretty prototypical slightly above average pitcher.
His the majors at age 21, acclimates, peaks at age 27, has a bump in COL but other than 2002 his career is pretty regularly curved from rise to peak to decline.

i didn't have the raspberry
it was just the regular wheat. i don’t know how i’d feel about fruity beer
Sometimes I'm naked and thank god, sometimes you're naked. Well, hellooooo...

The regular wheat is decent,
I just think that there are much better beers out there for the same price. AB and Miller/Coors are just trying to rename different beers to push into the micro market. Their doing it to, as they have all the taps in most bars.

well
basically, blue moon was the only thing decent on the menu and she was like “oh, we don’t have than anymore, but we have shock top.” and i was like “i dunno what that is, but give it to me.” and it was all right
Sometimes I'm naked and thank god, sometimes you're naked. Well, hellooooo...

the bud distributor stole that tap from the coors dude then, somehow.
And as far as a macro produced micro brew, Blue Moon is tough to beat.

in my experience
fruit beer is one of those things that I go into hoping it tastes terrible.
Then I taste it and it’s actually pretty good. Not something I would order every day, but a pretty nice tasting beverage. Shock Top Raspberry Wheat fits this scenario well.

Shiner Bock
Brings back memories. And some people say nothing good comes from Texas.
Albert Pujols does not have "down" years. He has "~6 WAR" years.
but every macro brewery promotes their light (lite) beer strongest
because that’s what most people will drink.
Think of it like this. PD forums cardinal fans are to bud light as VEBers are to Schlafly Amerian Pale Ale.

I have just had a major revelation
I am about to start a new chapter in my life. Right now I have watched every episode of Malcolm in the Middle from the first season to the sixth season. And over this time I have become acquainted with Hal(Bryan Cranston). I have seen the depth he has when playing a character. I think I am ready to start watching Breaking Bad. I don’t know why I have held off so long. I know I just need to make that committment. But I am afraid
I'm happy for you in starting your new chapter in life

Malcolm in the Middle is awesome
I’ve probably seen over half the episodes thanks to WB11 (or CW11?). I can’t start Breaking Bad right now though because I’m watching Lost. I’m already on Episode 14 and I kind of like it, but that it is slowly eating my life away (not in a I’m wasting my time because this show sucks, but that I just keep watching episodes and haven’t really stopped)
