The long wait is over. After the St. Louis Cardinals intrasquad game was rained out in Jupiter on Sunday, Spring Training games begin today. The Cardinals face the new-look Miami Marlins in the first Roger Dean Project match-up of the season. The game is not televised, but will be broadcast on KMOX 1120. (A complete broadcast schedule of Cardinals games, including Spring Training, can be found here.)
At the Post-Dispatch Cardinal Beat blog, Derrick Goold gives us the lineup that will start against Marlins ace Josh Johnson today:
1) Skip Schumaker, RF
2) Jon Jay, CF
3) Matt Holliday, LF
4) Carlos Beltran, DH
5) Yadier Molina, C
6) Matt Adams, 1B
7) Tyler Greene, 2B
8) Daniel Descalso, 3B
9) Alex Cora, SS
Goold also shares with us which pitchers are available for the spring opener.
Kyle Lohse will be the starter, with the following pitchers coming in behind him, depending on the availability of innings: RHP Brandon Dickson, RHP Victor Marte, RHP Joe Kelly, LHP R. J. Swindle, LHP Nick Greenwood and RHP Trevor Rosenthal.
Here are some high- and low-lights of the Cardinals' pitching performances:
- Lohse threw 2.0 IP and allowed one hit and run via a solo homer by Greg Dobbs. He threw 20 of 26 pitches for strikes.
- Brandon Dickson had a rough outing: 2 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 2 SO, 0 BB.
- Trevor Rosenthal--the man, the myth, the legend--touched 97/98 MPH with his fastball.
- R.J. Swindle, who may be a left-handed wizard, threw 81 MPH fastballs and 54 MPH curves.

Gameday Link Not Up
Afaik, the MLB Gameday link should be http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/gameday/index.jsp?gid=2012_03_05_flomlb_slnmlb_1 but I don’t get anything to happen there. Hopefully they get it up soon.
flo is now mia, thanks to the marlins' name change.

I was just thinking about that as John Rooney just reminded me about the name change. Good one!

If you look in the end of blehmann's link, you see "2012_03_05_flomlb_slnmlb_1"?
We can dissect the link as follows:
2012_03_05 is today’s date
flomlb is “Florida MLB”
slnmlb is “St. Louis MLB”
I don’t know what 1 is
The reason blehmann’s link didn’t work is because the Florida Marlins (flo) are now the Miami Marlins (mia), so changing the “flomlb” to “miamlb” as I did works.
By gosh!

It's sort of a "can they both lose?" situation for me
But I think I have to root against MIA more. I’m really not looking forward to the awful, awful political/economic subthread this match will spawn on VEB.

Leave favorite memories of Jim Edmonds here
Not really. Maybe a long reliever, but I think his value is being an inning-eating 4th or 5th starter

Is it fair to say that prospects who are likely to be good bullpen material have high K rates or have useful splits?
Leave favorite memories of Jim Edmonds here
Yeah, I think so.
Or if they have lower K rates and that’s because they use their crappy 3rd and 4th pitches too much, maybe?

Dickson has also been an innings eating starter all through the minors

I want to be fair but the yahoo league gives you so much authority in the keepers dept. I need to balance returning teams that are designating keepers, as well as a fair number of new teams. what i want to do is allow the usual keeper selection for teams with rosters, then allow the new teams to choose fr all the free agents. I just need to figure out how to value the new teams’ keepers.

THE BATMAN|TOWEL BOY.|VP of TG Fanclub

I would've liked to see him catch as well, but there's little point given the Yadi extension, especially when he has another path to making the majors.
by Willie McGee's Twin on Mar 5, 2012 6:48 PM EST up reply actions
And I feel the obligation to mention
That his .241 .320 .347 career, level/age appropriate line did not portend a MLB career as a hitter. I figured they’d give him another half season or whatever after showing some improvement last year, but pitching has looked like it’d be his path to the majors for awhile…
Not afraid to nitpick
Devil's advocate:
He has mostly been young for his leagues and (some of) his hitting has only been a little below league average. Considering he’s a catcher, he just has to keep hitting mediocre and play good defense and he is a viable big leaguer! No, my heart was not in this, but ah well.
"I'll be deep in the cold, cold ground before I recognize Missoura!"
And then I would feel the obligation to mention....
that Stock had a wOBAr of .359 last year, which is pretty good, and accounts for his very unlucky BABIP (which I would feel obligated to say is something like .250 in less than 150 games above rookie ball, which is very unlucky).
Bottom line, he’s 22 and he was a good prospect as a pitcher. With Yadi being under a big money contract for the next 6 years, it makes sense for him to try pitching. He’s got an option the other catchers in the system just don’t have.

OT: any tax lawyers in here?

linky
General Homestead Exemption (GHE)
This annual exemption is available for residential property that is occupied as the principal dwelling place of the owner, or a lessee with a legal or equitable interest in the property with a single-family residence, who is liable for the payment of the property taxes on the leased property. The amount of exemption is the increase in the current year’s equalized assessed value (EAV), above the 1977 EAV, up to a maximum $6,000 reduction in EAV. The General Homestead Exemption is available in all counties except Cook County and may be granted automatically or may require an initial application to be filed with the Chief County Assessment Office. For information and to apply contact the Chief County Assessment Office.
(not a tax lawyer)
But it looks like a basic homestead exemption on your property taxes. You use it on the house you live in. You can’t use it if the home is in Cook County. If it’s a brand new home, you might need to file an initial application, otherwise the home is in the system already (because tax was probably paid on it last year).

Yadier Molina’s representatives were preparing to aim for a seven-year deal in the $140MM range if the catcher had reached free agency, according to Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com. Some teams might have been willing to part with that kind of cash for Molina, an elite two-way player. "He’s like the Deion Sanders of catchers,’’ one executive told Heyman. Molina, who would have been eligible for free agency following the 2012 season, signed a five-year, $75MM extension with the Cardinals last week.
He's like the Fred Hoiberg of catchers

almost think the guy had to be thinking
“ok, just for kicks, who’s the fastest guy I can compare Yadier Molina to? ‘The Usain Bolt of catchers?’ No, that doesn’t make any sense…”

i mean
i’m sure they were prepared to aim that high. but if anyone thought he could get it, he wouldn’t have just sign a deal worth half that
seems a little ridiculous and considering they signed for slightly more than half, a little false perhaps
…
on another note
Molina heard about the $140-million goal but told his agents that he wanted to do everything he can to stay in St. Louis
hometown discount, or yadi couldn’t believe it either?

Are there any examples of a hitter
who worked there way up from the independent leagues and had a decent career? I can’t think of any off the top of my head.
nevermind. it was Burkhart and he didn't have a decent career.
by The Ghost of Todd Burns on Mar 5, 2012 10:23 PM EST up reply actions
which shows how difficult it would be to have a decent career out of the indie leagues
in his last year in the frontier league he hit .404/.557/.861.
Nice indy career.
I’m pretty sure the majority of the names who might qualify were catchers and were not hitters, which makes sense.
no, but our own mr. dickson is a former indy ball pitcher, iirc.

Also, josh kinney was an indy leaguer.
Those guys were “true” indy leaguers, but there are guys like JD Drew who didn’t get the money they wanted in the draft and deferred a year to test the waters again. But I don’t think that’s what you’re talking about.

Does anyone think that good hitters can slip through the cracks?
Say a guy gets injured, which puts him beyond the typical age curve, allowing for younger players to surpass him.
Do you think scouts do a good enough job to not penalize a hitter based on age?
no, if you're old, no one wants you

A guy like Mark Hamilton
for example.
Has become a better hitter with age statistically. Yet he has had some injury problems and people have pretty much written him off.
Will he ever get a real shot?
I think he deserves a shot somewhere—and would get one if he played for, say, the pirates
but between how hitter friendly the PCL is (the average OPS is well over .800, if I remember right), his weird (relative) lack of power, and his positional inflexibility he hasn’t really played well enough to demand a shot, especially in st. louis. his zips projection for 2012 is .249/.329/.380.
I think he’d top that if he played every day, but the cardinals wouldn’t take that kind of risk on unless they had to. garrett jones got a shot, so I’m sure hamilton will eventually once he gets sent out of town.
Nihongo dekimasuka? Speak Japanese? Hamilton seems like a good candidate to head that way
