Frayed Knot

For a short time in mid-2012, Dan Straily became the idol-du-jour of some of the nerds who inhabit prospect sites. "Professional" touts were only luke warm on the guy, but after he suddenly caught fire following a promotion to AAA (AA ERA = 3.38, AAA = 2.02) his fans started demanding his immediate call-up after each successive appearance until he made his ML debut last August after 11 AAA starts. That the Oakland AAA franchise is in nearby Sacratomato (and sometimes out-draws the ML park) helps to fan this kind of stuff. Too bad about Griffin not making the roster; I like the fact that he pitches with long hair. btw, I'm pulling for the A's to go to the WS

Reds have made the playoffs three out of the last four seasons but have never advanced. Dusty got a two-year extension following last year's debacle when the Reds blew a 2-0 in games lead to SF. You wonder how much this season's WC loss to Pitt played into things. It's one thing to stick too long with a pitcher. Hurdle did so yesterday with Burnett but at least that's just one game in a series. Dusty sitting back while Cueto was melting down in a one-and-done situation is another story. Reports out of Chicago say that the Nats are looking to talk to Girardi, just one day after his discussions with the Yanx.

First, i would eliminate any deal that has me paying big money [15+M] to guys into their late 30s (37+), unless i'm also getting their prime years (27-33); and i eliminate any catcher over 30, or anybody with recent chronic drug or injury problems or already showing a steady decline, unless their avg salary is under $15m and there's only 1-2 years left: YES: ANTHONY RIZZO - Wow. Take this deal in a heartbeat. ADAM JONES - YES! ANDREW McCUTCHEN - Duh. JAY BRUCE - yup. MIGUEL CABRERA - the exception to every rule JUSTIN UPTON - coming into his prime. DAVID WRIGHT - too long, but we got his prime years, too, so i'm happy to keep the captain on board. Not surprisingly--and part of the point of this little project-- almost all of your 'YES' votes are for players with pre-FA deals that wouldn't be available to other teams on the open market. Only Wright and Cabrera are exceptions and even those two never made the open market either although both had enough service time when those deals were reached that their club had to at least pay close to a market rate for them. The high percentage of remaining 'NO' and 'MAYBE' votes point out the risk of long-term/high-bucks deals and should give pause to the various Cano-chasers out there.

FREE AGENTS AIN'T FREE - PART II This thread, the Cano discussion, and other more general topics, got me to thinking about how often those long-term deals often commanded by the top free agents work out. So I set some parameters and came up with a list of: - current deals only - minimum of five years in length - position players only (may get around to pitchers later) Some of the deals below (most of the ones for the younger players) are not true FA contracts as they were signed during, or in some cases before, the arbitration years. Some players (** marked) have already been traded away by the signing team since the beginning of the contract. The ages are as of July 1st 2014. The per/year avg of the remaining years might vary slightly with incentive clauses and buy-outs, but are accurate as to the specific salary for the years 2014 and beyond.

Random comments on some of the above: VOTTO -- Terrific player, though power down a bit this season, has just turned 30 and the 10 years haven�t started yet. LONGORIA -- Not a true FA deal, but six years were just tacked onto the original six year deal signed practically at his ML debut.. PUJOLS -- Looked too long/too heavy when it was signed, and looks a lot worse now. But, HEY, only 80% of it left to go. POSEY -- Deal just starting. Age is good, position may cause a problem down the road. ANDRUS -- Pre-FA deal, but with so-so performance and a better player on his teams' roster at his position, talk has it that Texas already wants out PEDROIA -- Deal set to start next year. FIELDER -- Coming off a somewhat down year, but so far has proven more durable than his bulk suggests and many fear. BRAUN -- Well, the ON-field part has gone well TULOWITSKI -- Only the injuries have been a problem so far WRIGHT -- We�ll see, won�t we? KEMP -- Immensely talented but erratic and injury prone. ZIMMERMAN -- Hitting well but will need to move to 1B sooner rather than later CASTRO --- Pre-FA deal, but a .284 OBA isn�t a good start RIZZO -- Pre-FA deal, set to start next season MAUER -- Injuries and position questions cloud the future. PENCE -- Just signed. ADAM JONES -- Pre-FA deal MOLINA -- Deal starting just as the first injury-shortened year hits. Still, a near-MVP year. HAMILTON -- Risky deal when it happened doesn�t look any better after Year 1 A. RODRIGUEZ -- Nuff said WERTH -- Followed a down 1st year and injury shortened 2nd one with an MVP-quality 3rd. Maybe a long, lean, yoga-practicing athlete is just what you want as they get older. Down side is that he�ll be 35 next season CRAWFORD -- Already dealt once, has yet to look as good since the signing as he did before. REYES -- Worst thing about this deal is that it�s so back-loaded ETHIER -- Currently injured and probably the odd man out in a crowded outfield. Team would almost certainly have to eat some money in order to deal him C. GONZALEZ -- Pre-FA deal. Have to consider the Coors Factor if traded BJ UPTON -- Horrid first season HOWARD -- Looked too high/too long when it happened and now looks wose TEIXEIRA -- BA starting to decline, but was still good prior to lost 2013 CABRERA -- Monster offensive numbers dwarf any conditioning questions ... so far UGGLA -- Can�t be good when you get left off the playoff roster as the team�s highest paid player

Sutcliffe just Never. Stops. Talking. Definitely one of those who's under the impression that he's paid by the word.

I'm not sure that Peralta's days as a SS aren't dwindling. I realize that now he's only being shifted off SS because the Tigers traded for the non-singing Iglesias during his suspension, but it wasn't like he was ever gold glove to start with and at 32 next spring he's not going to be getting any better. So I wouldn't be against looking at him but strictly on a shorter term basis. Stephen Drew should be in that category as well.

MFS62 wrote: Who is their hitting coach? He's teaching an effective approach. I think they have several now. But it almost doesn't seem to matter with them. Prior to this they employed Mark McGwire as hitting coach and he was given high marks. And for years most of the credit for the pitching went to pitching coach Dave Duncan but now he's gone but nothing has changed. And shirley it was Tony LaRussa's steady hand on the tiller that was responsible for things, but then he retired and in came rookie manager Mike Matheny and yet things roll on.

St Louis (97-65) best recrd in the NL. 783 Runs scored - tops in the NL by a lot (Rox 2nd at 706) 596 Given up - 5th best. The RS/RA ratio suggests they should have won 101 How do they do it (seemingly year after year)? By combining good pitching with that elusive animal of clutch hitting from largely a home-grown cast. They forever seem to have some relatively unheralded guys, usually from their system but often not a top draft pick, who proceed to exceed all expectations while filling whatever weakness they have at that moment, sometimes not even the position he was drafted for. Their 2009 draft alone produced three pitchers currently on the team plus their current 1st & 2nd basemen. And because the Cards have consistantly finished at or near the top of the standings lately, even their 1st round picks have never been in the top half of the round. Also, none of the home-grown talent is over age 30. In all, four of their six starters plus the current closer were StL draftees, as were the catcher, the original 1st baseman and the guy who replaced him, the 2nd baseman; both platooning shortstops; and the CF. All except the SSs are exceeding league OPS. Either they�re finding good ones or are crafting them into good ones after they get them. C - Yadier Molina - 4th round pick 2000 [.319/.351/.477] Was on the MVP track until late season injury put him on the shelf for a while 1B - Matt Adams - 23rd round pick 2009 [.284/.335/.503] Big smacking (and just plain BIG) Adams (23 HRs in less than 300 ABs) took over when Allen Craig [8th round, 2006] went down 2B - Matt Carpenter - 13th round 2009 [.319/.392/481]. Not even a 2nd baseman until recently, all he did was lead the NL this season in Runs scored, Hits, and Doubles (55!!) SS - Pete Kozma and/or David Descalso (1st & 3rd Round picks in 2007) Neither hits a lot, but they handle the position. Descalso has started more often lately. 3B - David Freese - One of those acquired in a trade: with SD for Jim Edmonds six years ago Their 2011 WS hero hasn�t bee quite so magical this year [.262/.340/.381] LF - Matt Holliday - Acquired in a trade, then re-signed [.300/.389/.490] Always seems like he�s injured to me but yet he�s averaged 145/yr as a Cardinal and, I think it�s safe to say at this point, has worked out better than the Jason Bay signing did. CF - Jon Jay - 2nd round 2006 [.276/.351/.370] I�ll take those numbers from a good glove in CF RF - Carlos Beltran The only significant piece of the team that was a pure FA signing [.296/.339/.491] ... and naturally in the 2 years since signing w/StL Beltran has had 600+ PAs per season and totaled 56 HRs.. You have to go back to 2006/07 to find that kind of consistency and output Rotation: Adam Wainwright - Trade then re-signed Will start Game 1 and probably Game 5 if it happens. [19-9; 2.94 ERA; 1.07 WHiP] Lance Lynn - 1st round 2008 (39th overall) Game 2 starter [15-10; 3.97; 1.31] after starting his career in the StL pen. Joe Kelly - 2nd ML season - 3rd round 2009 [10-5; 2.78; 1.36] in 15 starts + 22 relief outings Penciled in for Game 3 Shelby Miller - Rookie - 1st round 2009 (19th overall) [15-9; 3.06; 1.21] - Probable Game 4 starter Michael Wacha - Rookie - 1st round 2012 (19th overall from the Angels -- the Albert Pujols pick) [4-1; 2.78; 1.10] in 9 ML starts + 6 relief appearances. Probably moves to the bullpen for this series Pen: Trevor Rosenthal - 21st round pick 2009 Has been the Cardinal closer since ... well since about a week and a half ago when he notched 3 straight saves in the division clinching sweep against Washington. 2.63 ERA & 1.10 WHiP. Just your typical 21st round pick who throws 100 mph Edward Mujica - Was the closer all year (the 3rd different one for StL in 3 seasons) until taking a wee bit of a tailspin in September. And by �wee bit� I mean 18 hits including 6 doubles and 3 HRs in 7 innings over 10 appearances. Lost both the closer role with that stretch and was probably lucky just to stay on the playoff roster Carlos Martinez -- Rookie, age 21 [5.08 ERA; 1.41 WHiP - 28 innings pitched] Seth Maness -- Rookie (11th round pick, 2011) age 24 [2.32; 1.26 - 62] John Axford (former Milwaukee closer acquired late in the year) [1.74; 1.36 - 10] Randy Choate (LOOGY) 2.29; 1.05 - 35.1 innings in 64 games Kevin Siegrist (LHP) -- Rookie, 41st round pick 2009 - Age 23 [0.45; 0.88 - 40] Weaknesses? - One can probably cite an inexperienced bullpen, but as that great American philosopher Fran Healy used to say; �Give me talent over experience� - Their entire starting staff in right-heanded and only two LHPs out of the pen - Their RIDONCULOUS RiSP numbers which one wouldn�t think is sustainable forever. The team�s overall .269/.332/.401 numbers morph into a killer .313/.376/.463 when runners are on and then into a stunning .330/.402/.463 wtih RiSP - Allen Craig, their original starting 1B and the leader of the RiSP clan (his season-long .315/.373/.457 became .454/.500/.638 with RiSP) has been out with a sprained foot since early September and will not be active for this series. - A VERY weak bench. The quintet of: Kolten Wong - Rookie, 2B, 1st round (22nd overall) pick in 2011 Pete Kozma - the other half of the SS platoon Shane Robinson - speedy OF (5th round, 2006) Tony Cruz - backup catcher (26th round, 2007) Adron Chambers - OF (38th round 2007) ... combined to hit a measly .214/.277/.274 (551 OPS) this season

I used to believe that there is no doubt that things would have been better, but from what I've learned from you guys it's very possible things wouldn't have been any better. And there's nothing wrong with wondering if, or speculating about how, things would have been better; my only beef is with those who treat it as fact and either bend of make up "facts" to bolster their case because it fits in well with their go-to rant. And the part of the Doubleday narrative I'm flat-out NOT buying is the part about him being the epitome of the baseball savvy owner. EVERYTHING I've heard (including from the inside) suggests exactly the opposite, that he was only a casual baseball fan and that owning a team was the classic rich man's toy to him.

But if he is healthy, I'd like to see the Mets take a shot at Grady Sizemore on an incentive laden (games or ABs) 1 year $1-2 million contract with a club option for $5 second year. It would be a low (financial) risk, potentially high reward option. Later You've been suggesting that incentive strategy for Sizemore for at least three years now. But at this point, seeing as how his last professional game was in 2011 and his last full/decent season was in 2008, I'm going to assume that he's retired until I hear otherwise.

In this flick Redford's 77 y/o butt plays someone who would be 60-ish now that it's some 40 years after his character's college age crimes.

Vic Sage wrote: RUNNING ON EMPTY, though not great, is a decent drama and substantially similar to COMPANY YOU KEEP in its narrative and themes about our radical 60s past haunting our current life. This was the one that I thought of as most similar (helped by the fact that I haven't seen a good chunk of the others you mentioned). The main difference here is that the movies were made a quarter century apart and therefore the protagonists are considerably older and their pasts further into the rear view. Hirsch and Lahti are among the few age-appropriate actors who Redford did not use; possibly because it might have been confusing to the audience as to whether they were in reprised roles. Redford is also trying to make a point about press coverage in this one, a point that can only work if the small city (Albany, NY) reporter keeps beating the FBI to the clues, which, of course, he does. There's also a mystery aspect to this as part of what the reporter (LaBoeuf) uncovers is a secret involving a few of the leads that has nothing specific to do with their past crimes. It's not a bad movie and has some good performances in the interactions of these past radicals--some still believers, some who have moved on, some who didn't particularly get along way back when--even if in fairly small doses (so many stars, so little time). But the whole mystery/over-reaching press angle is kind of clumsily handled and not all that shocking by the time they get around to it.

Which is a natural thing to say when you're on the air for the first time with the biggest voices in NYC talk radio. It's also almost certainly something that he was told to say. How the hell would he know what M&MD were talking about when he was in the midst of traveling from LA to Miami? And, like I said earlier, I recall them reluctant to claim credit for it early on but were less inclined to downplay their role as time went on and the Piazza era was remembered more fondly. I'm dealing with a troll on a general baseball forum that feels the line of demarcation of when Wilpon starts his power play starts in October of 1986, with the Mitchell trade and not offering Knight a contract for 1987. Should I even ask how he knows those moves were entirely on Wilpon while being completely free of Doubleday fingerprints (not to mention where Frank Cashen was in all this)? Never mind, I don't want to know. My point being that stuff like that are clearly after-the-fact rationalizations that have no basis in actual public knowledge; they're being said solely so as to fit the pre-determined conclusions of the speaker.

Centerfield wrote: I've been meaning to bring up Doubleday. Piazza specifically mentioned him during his Mets HOF induction speech. I know it was rumor at one point, but is it generally accepted now (perhaps even validated by Piazza) that Nelson was the driving force in obtaining him? The story as I recall it of course began when Piazza was dealt to the Marlins which, as everyone knew, was no more than a stopping point on Mike's journey to somewhere, somewhere that is that wasn't the greater Miami area. Naturally NY media types (most loudly Mike + Mad Dog) raised the idea of the Mets getting him. But GM Steve Phillips' initial reply was that they already had a catcher (the then-injured Todd Hundley) and so they'd prefer to spend their financial and/or monetary resources elsewhere. It was at this point where rumor has it that the drumbeats got into Doubleday's head causing him to poke his head into Phillips's office suggesting that it might be a good idea to "look into" this Piazza situation. Now one would need to know that specific office's politics to say whether a "suggestion" like that from a boss is actually just a suggestion or is more like an order. I don't believe Phillips made personnel decision based on the whims of ownership but I suppose we'll never know. In any case I don't believe anyone ever claimed it was more than just a nudge from Doubleday but those who tended to see things in a binary way with Fred as the devil and Nelson as the true genius who had his team swiped away from him surely latched on to that story as proof of Doubleday's baseball savvy. As time went on, M&MD, who initially denied their voices steered the Mets hand in any way, also started accepting more and more of the accolades over the years.

When Olbemann is good, he's really good. When he's bad ...

Yeah, reports on Abreu, though often promising, are hardly universal in their praise. Plus, all Cuban players have a higher than normal 'unknown' factor.

Monday, October 1st On the day after the season was scheduled to be over and during a more or less steady rain in front of a listed 1,913 fans in Wrigley Field, the Mets win game one of the scheduled DH of make-up games to clinch their second NL East crown in four years. Tom Seaver was matched up against Burt Hooten 2nd inning -- a solo Cleon Jones HR (he must have had as hot a September as Garrett) got the first run on the board. 3rd -- a leadoff single by Staub was followed by walks to Milner & Jones and then a 2 RBI single off Grote�s bat although the Mets failed to capitalize further despite 1st & 2nd and no outs. 5th -- a leadoff double by Garrett and a Millan single were the end for Hooten. Reliever Mike Paul (who would make just 2 more appearances in his ML career) allowed both runners to score on a Staub single and a Milner Sac Fly. But then four singles in the bottom of the 5th netted two runs for the Cubs and it was 5-2 Mets 7th -- Mets nudged it to 6-2 but Seaver failed to record an out in the bottom half as his day ended with a single and a Rick Monday 2R HR. Seaver wound up K-ing only 2 and giving up 4 runs on 11 hits over the six innings, but he left them with a lead and foretunately the laws in place at that time allowed Yogi to go to his best reliever even though it was only the 7th inning. Tug would respond by getting the final nine outs while facing just nine hitters. An infield single, K, then GiDP ended the game and the pennant chase. The Pirates, playing simultaneously, were behind in their make-up game with what must have been an entirely disinterested Padre team. But the outcome of that game became irrelevant the moment the Met game ended and the Buccos would, in fact, go on to lose. That all made the final NYM cushion: 1-/1/2 games up on the Cards and 2-1/2 on the Pirates-- seem more comfortable than it actually was even before you consider the fact that the Mets were in 6th place in their division August 30th and in 5th as late as September 11th. The 2nd game of the DH was supposedly going to be played and the Mets had to put off any adult beverage celebrations. But because it would probably be a photo-finish as to which team wanted to play the game LESS, saner heads prevailed and the rain gave everyone the excuse they were looking for.

Well I don't think Girardi himself has said anything even as speculation around Girardi and a potential (and now more than that) Cubs opening has been swirling among the chattering class for months now. But the Chicago area is his home turf and, if one believes that Theo does have the golden touch and/or that the law of averages has got to shine on Chicago's north side at some point, Girardi has to know that the manager that gets them there has a guaranteed statue next to Harry Carey the very next week. Besides, who's to say that he doesn't see the Yanx as a sinking ship right now being run by a couple of silver spoon dunces who not only don't have their father's flair but also don't operate in an era where they can simply spend away their weaknesses.

Pinch-hitter deluxe (and occasional left-fielder) Gates Brown - 74 Had a 13 year career --all with the Tigers-- but was the definition of PHer/part-timer as he only got as many as 300 plate appearances twice and had fewer than 200 in eight of those seasons. Came up with the team in 1963 at age 24 but even that was only after serving time for armed robbery. PH'ed his way to a .370/.442/.685 // 1127 line over 104 PAs in the Tigers WS-winning year of 1968. The LH-swinger finished with a career line of .257/.330/.420 and one would think that had his career not been ending just as the DH era was beginning that he would have made for a scary DH in at least a platoon role. I remember having a baseball card of a hatless and thuggish-looking Brown (listed at 5' 11"/220) with a scowl that scared my sister.

Yeah, I meant Tigers. I sometimes conflate Jhonny Peralta with Asdrubal Cabrera and I swap their team assignments.

New (non-recycled) names likely to be mentioned for vacant jobs: - Matt Williams -- currently coaching in Arizona - Brad Ausmus -- former catcher, mostly w/Houston. Dartmouth boy. - Jason Giambi -- Yes, really. Colorado interviewed him before hiring Walt Weiss a year ago and his current manager Terry Francona can't stop saying enough good things about him. Won't necessarily be this winter, but some time in the future is looking increasingly likely. - Randy Knorr -- Bench coach and the likely choice for the Nats if they decide to stay in house.
