Wednesday Rockpile: Rockies want Street long term

Brian Fuentes says that there aren't enough celebratory man-hugs in Colorado.

Brian Fuentes says that there aren't enough celebratory man-hugs in Colorado.

Among Troy Renck's notes, which include tidbits about Scott Boras as well as two of his clients with Rockies connections in Matt Holliday and Carlos Gonzalez, plus an update on former Padres GM Kevin Towers, he mentions running into Brian Fuentes at the ALCS and in passing notes that the Rockies are looking into signing closer Huston Street to a multi-year deal. Street would be eligible for free agency after the 2010 season, so this would seem to be a departure from the club's usual arbitration buyout plus an option year, and a strong indicator that the club won't be going through a fire sale and rebuild any time soon. Of course, Holliday would be a good example that there are limits to the Monforts' generosity when it comes to contracts, and some players clearly are still out of the Rockies range and a few others still see themselves that way. 

The news also seems to put Street in a core category as far as Dan O'Dowd's blueprint for the team over the next few seasons, and bullpen stability in general is also a noted departure from the first five years of his tenure as Rockies GM. Colorado does seem to be stockpiling some young bullpen arms. If Taylor Buchholz and Corpas can return strong from lost seasons and join Street, Matt Daley and Franklin Morales, the Rockies would seem to be well situated in relief over the next two seasons, particularly if Casey Weathers proves worthy of his hype.

Fuentes' statement to Renck is also somewhat enlightening,

"I came here to be in the playoffs. There is an expectation to win," Fuentes said. "They were just starting to develop that in Colorado when I left. It takes time, but obviously they are on the right track."

There's no longer a filter for Brian of having to be nice to the hand that writes the paychecks as far as the Rockies are concerned, so you can read a little more into his statement. The "just starting when I left..," phrase echoes similar statements I've read by other former Rockies that have left the team in the last three or four seasons, including Holliday, IIRC. In player code, this still puts Colorado cleanly in the second division. It's not a backwater dive where a veteran player feels they're at the end of their run, unwanted and trying to hang on to the last vestiges of their career, but for some reason, it's not yet a glittering beacon drawing them in for the chance of post season glory, either.

This means that despite having a better record and more post season appearances over the last five years than Atlanta or San Francisco, for instance, the Rockies still seem to be perceived among players in some respect as an inferior quality professional organization. Maybe I'm reading too much into Fuentes' words, as the Angels clearly are a step ahead of the Rockies right now, but the other teams he was most interested in signing with last season, the New York Mets and St. Louis Cardinals, are not when it comes to the results that matter. And since it's not just Fuentes that says it, but other players, I'm seeing it as a little more credible as a prevailing notion.

Obviously, I think this gets fixed by repetition of success. For 2010, there needs to be an expectation within the Rockies and among fans that they return to the post season. In fact, I think beating the Dodgers and winning the NL West are almost a necessity if the franchise really wants to elevate itself to that next tier.

Maybe I’m reading too much into Fuentes’ words

Maybe you are. Remember, Giambi acknowledged the team’s success

“I was honored they called in the middle of a pennant race,”

etc etc. Granted, he knew that he was just kind of stepping into a smaller role, but at least one person takes us as somewhat serious.

I seem to remember other comments about how we were a young up and coming team or something and that he wanted to be a part of something big like this.

That said I want him back.

I think you have a good point

The Rockies have made great strides over the last 3 years (even though 2008 was a step back). They have a solid core and are starting to be recognized as a good team. However, in order to keep making progress and taking the next step, I think they have got to play better within the NL West. If they can do that and win the divisision then I think they will be viewed as a upper level team. If not I think they will continue to be seen as a team with some talent that needs “the perfect storm” to make the playoffs. (that is was Holliday said when he went to the A’s??? OK whatever)

What if the hokey pokey is what it is all about after all????

You seem surprised that a favorable reputation takes some time to develop

Consider what the organization has looked like to the casual observer:

1993-2006: this franchise is overall pretty bad – 9 straight 4th or 5th place finishes, though with enough weirdness to distinguish it from the Pittsburghs of the world. 1 playoff berth. $160 million on two pitchers who go 40-51 with ERA’s to match. Record-setting attendance in the early years. Moon baseball.

2007: Improbable winning streak results in playoff spot by the narrowest of margins. Run continues in playoffs until team is swept in the World Series.

2008: Back to the losing ways

2009: Fired their manager. Hmm, they’re winning again…but these guys will probably fade…hey, they’re pretty good.

Damn! Why weren’t we seen as the equals of St Louis during the last offseason! (As for Atlanta, are Denver’s stripclubs up to par with theirs?)

They’ll just have to keep doing what they’ve been doing lately and the reputation will change.

As for players’ statements when they’re on the FA trail: why wouldn’t we take them with many grains of salt? Very few are going to come out and say, “I’m going to get paid.”

Leave Dexter alone! You're lucky he even performs for you!

I'm not surprised it takes time,

I’m just pointing to some evidence that still suggests as much. I’m also definitely taking any player’s statements with some skepticism. Often “wanting to win” translates directly to “wanting to play with teams that give out lots of FA money” because since there’s a correlation between the two, players can get away with saying stuff like that and not sounding like jerks. That said, the Braves and Giants are teams whose payrolls aren’t leagues ahead of Colorado’s, and you don’t get as many of these same kind statements from former players in their organizations.

by Rox Girl on Oct 21, 2009 10:36 AM MDT up reply actions   0 recs

That's something we discussed earlier

as part of the “retire jersey numbers” discussion some months back. The fact is, this team has NO history. History = everything in terms of “respect” of the franchise in baseball. Its just the way it is. Look at all the teams you listed as the “first tier” franchises, they are all the good ole’ boys. This is not something we can be blamed for, it can’t be manufactured. We can’t go back and stick a Rox cap on Hank Aaron or Say Hey Kid. I guess we could re-release some old Freddie Benavides footage in black and white, but I doubt it will have the effect. Its just going to take the time until nobody (particularly old-dog traditional media) is old enough to remember when we played in Mile High Stadium, etc. Hell, the Marlins and D-Backs have won rings and nobody takes them too seriously either.

Also, the $$$ does matter. Sure, FAs are going to say “wanting to win” = paying most money, but that isn’t necessarily a false statement. The Yankees and Red Sox don’t spend all that money just because they have it, they spend it because they desperately want to beat the other. It can’t be argued that we’ve ever had that mentality. Hell, I remember a few years back when PR did some essay for a website on the “face of the franchise” and (I think) Russ wrote that it was Hurdle as a demonstration of the organization’s lack of commitment to winning. It isn’t just the fans that think this.

Next, of course, is the players and the Coors Effect. Our heroes are Bichette and Andres and Vinny…guys who everyone thinks were Coors constructs. Sure, people respect Larry and Helton, but still whisper about Coors Effects and all that. If Helton were on the Sox, his HOF bust would be being polished right now. And Larry had the benefit of being a stud before we signed him. Moreover, we’ve never had a pitcher that anyone has respected (prior to Uball, who is only now getting recognized). Ask any non-Rox fan about the franchise’s pitching, and you’ll quickly hear Hampton and then probably silence while the person desperately scans his brain to think of any other names.

Finally, Foo makes all the other key points that matter. Respect is ultimately earned on the field, and as he amply demonstrates we haven’t really earned it yet. We’ve never won the damn division. All those other top tier franchises have numerous titles.

This won’t even go into the perceived cheapness of the franchise, which is another well-chronicled point.

However, to most of this, I say: “so what?” The fact is, Denver is not a big media market, sits alone in the middle of a region with no other baseball teams, and is not a historically significant franchise, and barring some seismic shift in the way baseball is covered, it won’t be. That doesn’t mean we still can’t start winning so much that teams have to talk about us as contenders and not upstarts. That happened a bit this year in September, you stopped hearing about streakiness and Tracy-impact and started hearing about how hard it is to get Tulo out and how money Uball is and how promising CarGo looks etc. That’s all we can ask for realistically, and we stand on the verge of having that be the norm.

by Teekalong on Oct 21, 2009 11:04 AM MDT up reply actions   1 recs

Yeah, we can definitely do it.

One other thing: I could have broken out 93-99, when the Rockies finished first in attendance and were essentially selling out Mile High then Coors just about every game. If the team can keep winning and can get back to somewhere close to that, where players are playing in front of big, enthusiastic crowds (rather than crowds half full of Cubs/BoSox/Yankees fans), that will make a difference.

It will still be a small media market, but players will notice the crowd support.

the Cubs fans lost out this year. More Rockies fans were there in my perspective, but your point still stands.

I think many players around baseball saw the Rockies 07 World Series run as a fluke.

That notion was only strengthened during last year’s sub .500 season and the 20-32 start this year. However, if the Rockies can make the playoffs next year I think they completely transform when it comes to the perception other players have of the organization. Not only will they have made the playoffs in back to back seasons, (Something the Red Sox, Yankees, Angels, Phillies, and Cardinals do regularly) but now the 07 run carries more weight to it. It will be seen as less of a fluke and more of a springboard into relevance. (Making the playoffs 3 out of four years can’t be ignored)

I agree with Roxgirl. Next season is big when it comes to the perception of the franchise. I think a lot of that is centered around whether the 07 run was just a fluke or the start of something special.

I'm still hoping to wake up from that nightmare I had about the 9th inning of Game 4.

A little off-topic

But did anyone watch the Angels-Yankees game last night? The umpiring was nothing short of atrocious. I mean it was almost worse than the Rockies series. Usually I won’t get on umpires, especially home plate umps, but there were at least 3 inexcusable calls in a span of about 3 innings last night.

by controlled_slide on Oct 21, 2009 10:53 AM MDT reply actions   0 recs

I'd go as far as to say it was worse

Compare the CarGo throw to Atkins and tag to the Lackey throw to 2nd to pickoff the runner last night. Gawdawful. ASA slow pitch umps could do a better job.

The "almost worse than the Rockies series" comment was a bit of a joke

As it was a common thread here. I actually didn’t think the Rockies series was all that bad, and the game last night was definitely worse. Of course, I was at both Coors Field games, so I didn’t get to see replays of some of the closer calls.

Tough to say

by FooMan on Oct 21, 2009 4:19 PM MDT up reply actions   0 recs

I think the calls in the Rockies series were worse

only because they had a bigger impact on the outcome of the game.

The game three 9th inning foul off the leg, thrown out at 1st bad call, put a runner on 3rd who ultimately scored the winning run on a sacrifice fly.

Those calls in game 4 probably cost the Rockies some runs in a tight game, ultimately decided by one run

It’s hard to predict what might have happened if the calls had been correct, but it’s at least plausible that the outcome for both games may have been different had the calls been made correctly.

I know longer buy this crap

about MLB umpires being the best in pro sports. This postseason has been an embarassment. They have nudged me off my “no video replay” position. I don’t know what the answer is, but this needs to be fixed.

I feel like we should stop studying whetherthe baseball players choke

in the postseason and start examining if umpires do in the postseason.

When I watch games during the regular season it seems like umpires are pretty good and if they do make a wrong call, the calls are so close that it’s difficult to blame the umpires, whereas some of these calls are just clearly, clearly wrong.

Last night was a debacle

even Joe Buck couldn’t restrain his criticism, and if you can get a company man like him to step outside the line, you’ve got a problem.

Really, the calls were ludicrous. Embarrassing.

Now, I’m a full supporter of some plausible replay system, but then again anyone who watches football knows how flawed that system is.

My theory is that most games (particularly basketball, but all major sports) have outstripped the officiating. The games nowadays are just too fast for human judgment. I’m not sure it can be fixed.

Rob Neyer on ESPN has been talking about this a lot

By and large, Major League umpires are really good. However, they need to take some steps so that a. they get better umps from the minor league ranks when necessary, and b. they have a formalized training program for all professional umps.

In addition, I believe that the 2 line umps in the postseason was because they had 2 extra umps as backup in the World Series, so, in 1949 or something, the commissioner just had them go out as line umps. Going forward, I think they should take them off the field and put them in a replay booth with a direct line to the crew chief to overturn incorrect calls. Although that’s not likely to happen with Selig in charge.

I still don't understand the call at third where two guys were tagged while off the base and only one was called out.

According to Tim McClelland

He didn’t see that Cano’s foot was off the base for the tag. It’s being called the worst call of all time.

In response to the article's challenge.

The Joe Mauer double being ruled foul by Phil Cuzzie who could not have been more than 15 feet away was worse than last night. I know I already stated it above but it can’t be stated enough.

Well, then YAY!, maybe that will take the heat off

the Rockies for what some perceive as the worst call of all time, meaning the Holliday slide.

Speaking of that, I was listening to the MLBN guys and both Dan Plesac and Al Leiter seriously believe that Holliday touched home plate:)

The Holliday play

Was extremely close, and multiple slow motion replays could not conclude whether or not he touched the plate. The umpire made the best call he could in that brief window of time, and there’s nothing definitive to prove whether or not he missed the call. The play from last night was obviously missed in real-time to the naked eye. Huge difference.

Interestingly enough, same umpire for both plays.

My only point was that it was probably the most controversial call

in the last couple of years. And I, for one, am tired of hearing about the Holliday slide, and since McClelland was involved on that play, maybe now we won’t constantly hear about it, since this play was obviously worse….

Not to rehash

But I remember someone in the media writing about how the catcher blocked the plate without the ball, never came up with the ball, and thus the runner was automatically given the base, regardless of whether he touched it or not.

McClelland's statement

Said that he was “expecting” both runners to be on the bag, and for Posada to be out. I’ve been an umpire, and know a fair bit about baseball rules, and was expecting the exact same thing. However, when Cano wasn’t on the bag (which was terrible baserunning), and Posada came off of it, McClelland should have seen that and made the correct call instead of the call that he was assuming would be correct. That’s really bad umpiring.

Why did none of the other umpires say anything?

None of the other umpires saw it? They were afraid to call a conference when the crew chief made the call?

I didn't see the play

but did Scioscia come out and argue or was the call blown over? If he didn’t then the umpires would have no reason to ask for help (if they were assuming what he thought he saw was correct). If he did argue then they should have asked around.

I could care les what Fuentes or Holliday think

They missed out on a hell of a lot of fun this season and it was their choice.

And, as this season proves, perception is meaningless. Only results matter. As such, it’s all good here in Colorado.

Agreed. I am pretty glad Fuentes was not around to increase my blood pressure. His season just goes to show what a meaningless stat a save is.

So does that mean you think Street's 34 of 36 saves are meaningless?

Meaningless might be too strong a term

Overrated certainly. It’s not a great stat, but it, like all stats, has meaning.

by controlled_slide on Oct 21, 2009 2:38 PM MDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yes

meaningless is too strong a term. It has meaning in that it indicates whether a guy does his job, being that he is sent out to finish the game and keep the lead.
I really mean that you can still be awarded a save while giving up upwards of 2 runs per inning is kind of silly. It is also highly dependent on things outside the reliever’s control – like the team being in a lot of close games.
Fuentes had an ERA near 4, had 48 saves, and probably was not the best reliever on that team.
SDCat kind of proves my point though. Fuentes had 48 saves. Street had 36. Who was really the better reliever?

by Hizilla on Oct 21, 2009 3:34 PM MDT up reply actions   0 recs

On the flip side of this argument

I don’t think just any “good” relief pitcher can just walk in and be a closer and still be effective. I do think that “makeup” does have something to do with the job, in some way.

by Hizilla on Oct 21, 2009 3:38 PM MDT up reply actions   0 recs

I'm thinking that its the number of saves vs save opportunities

that might be somewhat insightful.

Street converted 34 of 36, meaning 2 blown saves
Fuentes converted 48 of 55( I think) meaning 7 blown saves..

Does that indicate anything?

/Moneyball conspiracy theorist

But in all seriousness, I do kinda wonder what the hell he’s doing over there these days. The genius label may have rubbed off just a bit. I seem to recall he traded Ethier for (dum da dum) Milton Bradley.

by Silverblood on Oct 21, 2009 6:23 PM MDT up reply actions   0 recs

He did.

Although in defense of that move I think he was in win now mode, and Ethier wasn’t projected to be this good, more of a platoon player (which is probably what he ought to be since he is so brutal against LHP’s).
That fangraphs piece about the A’s and their poor drafting overlooked a couple things. Beane is still making the Mulder/Hudson trades work for him. He turned Haren into Brett Anderson, who could be very good and turned Carlos Gonzalez into Matt Holliday into Brett Wallace, who could also be very good.

by Hizilla on Oct 21, 2009 6:27 PM MDT up reply actions   0 recs

I don't think Billy Beane is an idiot by any stretch of the imagination

his baseball acumen has to get a lot of credit. But I think that since the league cottoned onto Moneyball, which was his big thing, he’s struggled to come up with another consistent strategy. The A’s rosters is a mix of has-beens and kids, and I’m not too well informed on the state of their farm system, but their notoriously parsimonious ways doesn’t point to much likelihood of signing anything other than bargain-bin free agents. Maybe the kids will develop, of course (Wallace) and the pitching staff remains pretty decent (Braden, Anderson, Bailey) but I am still wondering if Beane is just going to remain in permanent salary-dump/rebuilding mode, or what, exactly, his plan is.

That

I am inclined to agree with. He’s kind of handcuffed though financially but an owner not willing to pony up with his own money, and a fan base that doesn’t really give a darn, and an old baseball unfriendly stadium. He kind of shot himself in the foot. I attribute most teams valuing their own prospects greater to him, and he was really able to improve his teams by fleecing other GM’s that valued vets over prospects/draft picks. He kind of has to hope that the youngsters pan out, because he doesn’t really have much else.

Did anyone see earlier in the 1st when a TBS grapic popped up saying

Padillla threw 10 balls and 5 strikes. Ron Darling says “That’s upside-down. It should say 10 strikes and 5 balls.” Apparently Ron was not paying attention when Padilla walked the two previous batters. Can’t throw 5 balls and walk two people Ron.

I'm still hoping to wake up from that nightmare I had about the 9th inning of Game 4.

Had a rifle in his hands and cheap whiskey on his breath

And he smiled as he said with a twinkle in his eye,

I agree but how many games during the regular season played out like games 3 and 4?

The difference was Street shot down the opponent in the 9th. And to make matters worse Lidge found his 08 slider.

The 9th was supposed to be an advantage for us and instead it was our undoing

Mets fans are just pissed in general..lol

A friend of mine is a Mets fan and he hates the Phillies…I have to email him and taunt him now…

Dear Rockies - 2009 NL Wild Card Champs. Best turnaround in MLB history for a team to win the Wild Card. Thank you for a wonderful rollercoaster of a season. Can't wait to do it again next year!!

Troy Tulowitzki - THE best SS in the game..nuff said
Yorvit Torrealba - En Fuego!! (when hitting 6th or 7th)
Brad Hawpe- Big Bad Brad, I hope I get to see you in a Rockies uniform again!
Dexter Fowler - prowling CF, WC in his talons, leaping Utley's in a single bound!

Ask him what the Mets shopping list is going to be this offseason

They need some pieces that don’t break

I mentioned Marquis a couple of weeks ago

he was not amused…I thought well fine we’ll take him then…

I'm surprised he does not want Marquis

Marquis = automatic trip to the postseason

Neither did I

But I did like getting to the postseason.

exactly

I have no problem with us retaining Marquis. I thought he was a stud the 1st half…we wouldn’t be in the playoffs without him.

He was a stud in the first half and I don't think we make the postseason without him

But I think he will be too expensive. The Rockies need to cut payroll somewhere with all of the players up for arbitration and Marquis’s $10 million contract is a good place to look

It's amazing how many times the Phils mentioned their fans

I guess the mofia is a lot more likable when they are on your side

They just replayed Philly fans booing Ernie Johnson

The guys in the studio are actually the only part of TBS’s coverage that is not bad. Of course they take the heat for that disgrace in the booth

Joe Torre: "We are learning, we are getting there"

If the Rockies have anything to say about they won’t even have this opportunity next year

Watching MLB Network

I cannot believe Aaron Boone had open heart surgery and managed to play in some games this year. That’s a great story.
