St. Louis Cardinals All-Star Moments: The Scott Cooper Effect
by DanUpBaby on Jul 7, 2011 1:01 PM EDT
Email
PrintScott Cooper is on a refrigerator magnet on our garage refrigerator. He is a two-time All-Star third baseman with a career line of .265/.337/.386 who never once finished with an OPS+ over 100; just once played more than 130 games in a season; and was released after his age-27 season, one year removed from his second consecutive appearance as representative of the Boston Red Sox, a team that also had Mo Vaughn and Roger Clemens on it.
In 1993 Cooper was hitting .350 at the end of April, then .315 at the end of May, then .298 at the end of June, and by then, why, everybody's voted already. In 1994 he was hitting .342 at the end of April, and remember that time he was hitting .350 at the end of April? And he was an All-Star once already!
It's one thing to be a fluke All-Star because your team needs a representative—Lance Carter?—or you're having an outstanding start to the season—Ryan Vogelsong? Ken Harvey? But Cooper, whose hometown Cardinals acquired him after All-Star season number two in exchange for decent young pitcher and future near-premium LOOGY Rheal Cormier and Hard Hittin' Mark Whiten, is like an All-Star echo-chamber: Everything he accomplished based on his nicely arranged achievements seems to feed the next thing, until he's got as many ASG appearances as he does seasons as an adequate baseball player.
Each season, round voting time, you could make a case for Cooper as an All-Star—and it was even easier when he was an All-Star the year before who'd only cooled off after such a hot start. And none of it shows up in his encyclopedia entry.
I've been trying to find a homegrown equivalent to Cooper among the Cardinals' All-Star rolls, but it's a tough one to get a handle on. Perhaps Royce Clayton 1997, whose numbers are devoid of all the context that made him a vaguely national figure at the time—the bungled Ozzie Smith handover, the flashy defensive reputation, the fact of taking over for a legendary player.
He was neither having a brilliant start nor the only reasonable choice for the Cardinals' representative—Ray Lankford, who also made the team, was hitting a cool .333/.427/.646 at the time, with 22 doubles, 17 home runs, and 15 stolen bases. But he was around, and people had heard about him, and sometimes that's all it takes.

I missed the madness last night
I was at the Giants game (where there was equal madness, though it was decidedly less Cardinal-y). Usually in these kinds of situations, there’s someone everyone maybe isn’t completely blaming, but is kind of squinting their eyes at. In the post-Thurston era, this seems to be TLR something like 75% of the time.
What I’m saying is, since I wasn’t watching the game last night, who should I be mad at, if anyone?
Mainly Westbrook for giving up 5 runs before getting an out.
Some people are upset that Tony took Berkman out in a doubleswitch in the 6th inning. Others that Molina came out early as well.
I’m upset he let Miller pitch to rolen with a runner on and two outs when He could have replaced him with another pitcher or just walked rolen to pitch to a lefty. (who miller struck out after giving up a HR)
Every Cardinal had a chance to win it after Jay tied it in the 9th.
Grit != flat out sucking.
Well, Cruz played really well last night
But I mean, I don’t blame tony too much for replacing Berk and Molina. 8-0 is not an easy score to come back from, and frankly, I thought they were done by the fifth inning.

Or
his decision to bat Skip 2nd. I think Colby needs to back in the 2 hole to snap him out of his funk.
or Skip Schumaker
for getting on base at a .500 clip and making a great play in the field.
Grit != flat out sucking.
Batting Skip second is not rational even if he hits well for one game.
I mean, in general. I don’t really care too much about it happening one game which also happens to be the same game where a lot of wacky awful stuff happens. But as a policy, batting Skip second sucks.

yes, but I would rather see Colby there last night
regardless of how Skippy did.

A testy Pujols when asked by @JoeStrauss if he thinks this injury will affect his future "that’s a stupid question, Joe," then walks off.
Or you could say that every single decision by TLR was the correct one
because only in that world was it possible to overcome a 6-0 or 8-0 deficit.
Frankly, I find the idea that TLR should manage at “100%” (keeping all his regulars in, never allowing a LOOGY to pitch a whole inning, etc.) notwithstanding the score — and here, the Cards probably had a greater than 95% chance of losing — to be a particularly silly form of hindsight bias.

in hindsight
Rolen should have been walked, and probably would have been if the deficit was 1-3 runs instead of 6. But you’re absolutely right, no one could reasonably have expected the Cards to rally for 5 runs in the 7th. I have no complaints at all about Tony’s managing last night.

95%
Actually, I think we had something like a 3.5% chance of winning after the Rolen homer. So, TLR’s decisions were not only defensible but a good decision, in my mind.

Jake Westbrook for an atrocious first inning. Colby for having 4 K’s. Maybe Trever for giving up that homerun to Rolen, but some might say that’s Tony’s fault for keeping him in there to face RH.

Rasmus
with his 4 K performance. Some of the pitches he swung at were just atrocious.
this was probably the most distressing
performance by a Cardinal in last night’s game. Colby just looked lost much of the time swinging and any and everything in the dirt. Beyond that, as Evilfrog said above, every Cardinal had chance to be the difference in the game. Albert hitting into an inning ending DP in extras, Freese swinging at one at his ankles to end the 12th, etc., etc.

Meh... hitters have these games.
Plus he made a great baserunning play when (outfielder) threw it somewhat wild to third and Colby immediately sprinted home.
For instance, Skip probably would have stood there.

Plus Palm Beach only has 4 outfielders and none should be promoted.
And with Pham being injured, Springfield has no one who could even pretend to play CF.
Jones was the newest/youngest OF at AAA and was backing up Chambers anyway, so he goes down to play CF for AA. Simply an organizational move because of injuries and rosters.

David Schmidt is a right-handed pitcher out of Christian Brothers College High School. David is listed at 6-feet and 175 pounds and was clocked at 92-94 mph this past season. Prep Baseball Report described his throwing motion as "short and powerful, and when he’s locating his fastball it generates some nice arm-side action." Schmidt also has a slider and is developing a changeup.

since most of them have never faced the starting pitchers.
that's weird looking
I guess Punto/7 Jay/8 is the weird part. Even if they are facing a lefty (w/o looking any #s up) I doubt Punto should ever bat in front of Jay….switch those two and it doesn’t seem so strange.
A testy Pujols when asked by @JoeStrauss if he thinks this injury will affect his future "that’s a stupid question, Joe," then walks off.
dumb.
sure, colby needs a day off, but against a lefty is not the day to do it. jon jay turns into aaron miles against lefties.

I'm gonna guess middle is Rasmus career against lefties.
So top Miles?

i love this game
i would guess #1 is Aaron Miles against lefties
#2 is Jon Jay against lefties
and #3 is Jon Jay?

Second is Colby’s Career split against lefties
Last one is Jay’s Split against lefties
If you are going to give Rasmus a day off. I’d prefer it come against lefties.

oh, I was so darn close. I want a sticker.
(Didn’t hurt that I looked up Jay’s career line against lefties yesterday or the day before…)

"But listen, and understand: more Molinas are out there..." - THT
so fang is not entirely wrong, Jon Jay lefty and Aaron Miles career have a similar slashline
…how is Aaron Miles career OPS that high
"Small but fierce?" -John Rooney
that's true
little on fair to compare a right handed batter to a left handed batter when talking about career splits against lefties though.
Grit != flat out sucking.
sure, but isn't that the (somewhat choosy) point of his comment anyway?
"Small but fierce?" -John Rooney
maybe
his point was to say you should never start Jay against a lefty, my point was if you are going to rest colby it should be against a lefty.
Grit != flat out sucking.
if you're going to rest colby NOW it should be against a righty.
because jon jay is aaron miles against lefties. now, when craig’s back, it doesn’t really matter. except idk who the hell is supposed to play center in a craig/berk/holliday outfield. heh…

hmmm.
I’d like to rest a starter against their weakness
you like to start a backup against their strong suit.
Prefect world we would have a right-handed CFer on the bench. (Tyler Greene!)
But I don’t think we are coming to an agreement on this since we are looking at it from two very different angles.
Grit != flat out sucking.
my thing is...
either colby rasmus or jon jay has to play against lefties. and colby is (in my opinion) much better than jay against them. the difference between jay and rasmus against righties is smaller.

So I can’t say that you are wrong. But when it comes to resting players we would do it differently if we ever got out of the basement and became major league managers.

um, no.

this is career data.
probably more valuable, given the larger sample size, no?
"Small but fierce?" -John Rooney
jon jay had a BABIP of .377 against lefties last year...
and OPS’d .741.
this year his BABIP against lefties is .310 (what i would call normal) and he turned into aaron miles against lefties.

i'm sure there are better ways to do it
maybe xBABIP, i don’t know how that works, but until you find a legitimate one, use the best sample you have, which is the career sample.
i will point out that for his (admittedly small) career, Jon Jay has a .341 BABIP, and his speed might lead us to believe he naturally has a somewhat high BABIP.
"Small but fierce?" -John Rooney
jon jay may very well have a high BABIP.
but it’s sure as hell a lot closer to .310 than .377 moving forward.
miller for miles!
by stlcardinalsfang on Jul 7, 2011 7:20 PM EDT up reply actions
ok, sure
and i can say Jon Jay’s OPS against lefties this year is a fluke and unrelated to his BABIP. i’m not sure what the point of arguing about this is, but you are picking and choosing stats, which is not something i like.
i am not saying you are WRONG- i tend to probably agree with you, but your argument is not compelling.

i could have probably thrown out more data to support my argument, but tend to use OPS as a quick and dirty way.

The career sample is so small to be meaningless
You’d regress his career splits like 90% against league average.
ok, thanks
If i read that correctly, his splits are actually above average?
.807/.708 is less than the 120 that mgl mentioned.
of course they are
i just don’t particularly like fang picking out that one year and saying because the BABIP is what we think it’s going to be, it means his OPS is also what we think it’s going to be.
but i’m splitting hairs and being a bitch- he has a good point.
"Small but fierce?" -John Rooney
We don't have a large enough sample size to assume what his BABIP should really be
so .310 is a fair assumption with regression.
regress to league average, dipshit.

you have to take the sample size we have of his with a grain of salt fang

He hasn’t played that much, but he’s been a totally reasonable TLR utilityman. Defense has been as advertised and he’s contributed at the plate too (even if that kind of looks like a mirage; ZIPS rest of season wOBA is .295; career is .294).

OT: RIP Dick Williams
via Baseball Think Factory:
http://www.lvrj.com/sports/hall-of-fame-baseball-manager-dick-williams-dies-125166904.html?ref=904
Dick Williams, the fiercely competitive, sharp-tongued Hall of Fame manager who led the Oakland Athletics to World Series titles in 1972 and 1973, died today at his Las Vegas home from what was believed to be a brain aneurysm. He was 82.
Williams, who retired to Las Vegas in 1991, is the only manager in major-league history to win pennants with three different teams—the Boston Red Sox, Athletics and San Diego Padres. He had a 21-year major league managing record of 1,571-1,421 (.520).
Oh, STL connection:
Photo in LVRJ article shows him standing next to Ozzie (I think….) at recent old-timer’s game….
OT: not sure if this has already been mentioned

anybody remember the last time the team DFA’d this many guys before the ASB? The pitching turnover this year is insane.
A testy Pujols when asked by @JoeStrauss if he thinks this injury will affect his future "that’s a stupid question, Joe," then walks off.
the amazing part is how much better we have gotten this fast.
it’s not like we had to go through multiple solutions. Sanchez and Salas, who i think are our two best relievers, weren’t even on the roster at the beginning of the year.
"Small but fierce?" -John Rooney
it's 2010 in reverse
the sum of all the moves has made us younger & better instead of older & shittier….
This is an interesting storyline/narrative….the Cards began ’10 with a FO emphasis on scouting & development, and gradually drifted away from that strategy increasingly as the season wore on. This year, the Proven Veterans broke with the team and played their way off it; injuries and ineffectiveness have led to half of Memphis (Cleto even came directly from AA!) playing in STL in the first half of the season.

9M per, assuming he's a 4 WAR pitcher going forward and using the 40% 60% 80% market value idea
and that 5M per WAR
that’s 80 million in value
theoretically he should be paid 56M over that timespan.
(8+12+16+20)
5M/Win might be a slight over estimate on my part on the market for 4 WAR pitchers, but with my conservative
win totals, it seems fair.
Not that awesome
He’s free next year, which means it’s a 3 year 27 million dollar contract on his arbitatrion years. Probably a slight bargain, but it’s not like we’re saving much money. I’d have liked to see a 7 year deal or something.
Skip Schumaker is a scapegoat
two option years, with no terms stated yet
also, someone above said something about him being arb eligible next year because he was on the 60 day DL after Tommy John. is that accurate?
"Small but fierce?" -John Rooney
A three year contract signed today...
would cover his three arb years. Anything beyond three years will be covering his free agency years.
Also, where is Colby’s deal?
Sign Carlos Silva!!!
That can't be right...
too low. His arb years will go 4/8/12. His free agent year is worth 14 or more….
Sign Carlos Silva!!!
for a guy with less than a year and a half of pitching coming of TJ?
i mean, i agree with you, but the market doesn’t seem this high. Price is supposed to get what, 6.75M in arb this year?
"Small but fierce?" -John Rooney
the current first-year arb record is $4.3 million
MLB TR says Kershaw 5-5.5 mil, Price near 6 million. i can’t imagine Jaime would get more than 3.5
"Small but fierce?" -John Rooney
Yeah you're mostly right...
the comp is Clay Buchholz. Exact same service time, 4/30 with two options.
Clay Buchholz rhp
4 years/$29.945M (2012-15), plus 2016-17 club options
signed extension with Boston 4/11/11
$1M signing bonus
12:$3.5M, 13:$5.5M, 14:$7.7M, 15:$12M, 16:$13M club option ($0.245M buyout), 17:$13.5M club option ($0.5M buyout)
agent: John Courtright
ML service: 2.059
Sign Carlos Silva!!!
it's the same exact contract folks!
Yeah that's another good one...
the Red Sox have two $13 million options; the Reds one $10 million option. Garcia is better than either of those two and has a few hundred fewer innings on his arm since he was drafted.
Sign Carlos Silva!!!
and has had TJ.
i feel like this contract is going to be the 4/27 reported with two 15+ mil options.
"Small but fierce?" -John Rooney
or maybe some type of player opt-out
although i assume that rarely or never happens on the first contract?
"Small but fierce?" -John Rooney
Is the TJ a negative?
In 2011, at Garcia’s age, I’m not sure that’s any kind of red flag.
Sign Carlos Silva!!!
i feel like Jaime will request a lot more than $3.9 mil in arb though
i feel like 3.5-4 is the “fair” number, but i think he will request close to Kershaw and Price, and have a somewhat reasonable argument.
"Small but fierce?" -John Rooney
he missed a year of service time due to injuries, I think that will hamper his
asking price a little.
