Friday Rockpile: If Danny Ardoin is the answer, Chris Iannetta doesn't have much of a problem

I'm not sure if this is off limits conversation
But at this point it appears we have basically handed the catching job to Iannetta full time next year. Hopefully he performs more like 2008 than 2009, but doesn’t this reinforce the low avg/high slg boom bust nature of the lineup for next year? Combine him with Barmes and Stewart and we are either going to score or 10 runs or zero on any given night.
Torrealba not on team=no ban on catching discussion

Ardoin
had slipped some in the Catch and throw area the last couple of years as age is creeping in. I have a good friend that will love Ardoin return, as she thought he was really pretty. Yes…she called him pretty.
Pretty or not
Ardoin would mark a massive, massive step back on our team’s talent level. Please no.

honestly
the step back from torrealba to ardoin will probably be more than made up for by ianetta getting as many starts as he should be getting. in other words, 130 starts from ianetta + 30 of ardoin/whoever > 80 starts of ianetta + 80 starts of torrealba

low avg/high slg boom bust nature of the lineup
Is there evidence that…
1) The Rockies had greater variance in runs scored than a typical NL team for this era
2) That teams with the Rockies’ offensive characteristics (low avg, but comparatively high OBP, along with good baserunning) tend to have a greater variance in runs scored than an average team?
And I guess the more relevant question would be, pick some sort of range, like 3-5 runs game—-enough runs that you should have a shot at winning. How did the Rockies do in this regard compared to the avg, how do teams with the Rockies’ offensive characteristics do in this regard vs. “average” teams, etc.
There’s an assumption that low avg/high ISO D and P is inefficient. I don’t know why we assume that. Evidence I’ve seen suggests it’s more efficient, but the criteria I’ve seen in those cases isn’t something like pct of games with “X to Y”, or Z+ runs scored.
Leave Dexter alone! You're lucky he even performs for you!
I would love to see the work too
I’ll be the first to admit my comment was based mostly on perception.
1st, club has stated way too many times that Barmes is their guy
2nd, I see Lopez not being able to repeat, and regressing to his usual .320 wOBA. I just don’t see the need to spend big on the guy, especially when cash is tight.
I just wanted to hear if you'd read anything new I'd missed.
In the what-have-you-done-for-me-lately department, Lopez has been worse more recently than he has been good, so yeah, I agree that he’s a bigtime regression candidate.
I just want someone who can put up a passable OBP at 2B, is that so wrong?
Hope got in my eyes
by Andrew Martin on Nov 13, 2009 9:34 AM MST up reply actions
No, of course not
But it seems almost impossible to find passable OBP at this point considering our financial situation and still keep the defense.
Would Lopez be an upgrade at 2nd?
the reason I ask, is it looks like the Rockies right now are heading to 2010 with the same team it had in 2009, minus Atkins, Hawpe, and Marquis. They seem to be looking at internal players development/improvement for any upgrade over 2009. I’m not crazy about standing pat.
2nd seems one spot that could be upgraded.
I've been talked down from my Brian Roberts ledge by Hizilla by now
so Lopez is the next guy who intrigues me. I just don’t see any other 2B guys who really blow my skirt up, and even then, Lopez is just kind of a breeze.

There is one upgrade I see out there is
Juan Uribe as Utility Infielder. A HUGE upgrade over Q was. As EY2 looks to be a total unknown (starting 2ndbaseman, backup OF’er, Utility guy with no glove? another year at AAA?), a need is back up Infielder.
I don't hate this idea
I don’t think it’ll happen, purely because the Giants ree-hee-heally want him back.
Hope got in my eyes
by Andrew Martin on Nov 13, 2009 9:45 AM MST up reply actions
We should brign back Carroll for that duty.
Only problem is he has never played 1B, and we would still need someone to back it up.
I want Jamey Carroll back so badly
I don’t know why. I hated him so much in 2007.

I actually don't hate this either
I really think that EY2 could use some more time in AAA, maybe not a whole year but more time. Uribe at least wouldn’t be a black hole at the plate, and would probably get alot more than the 50 or so at bats that Q got.
I wonder whay EY2's ceiling is on defense

What you want and DOD wants are not the same thing apparently.
He wants a guy that can play very solid defense at second, as well as someone who has no inclination to take a walk, but can knock a fastball over the wall.

I'm not sure that's exactly what he WANTS
that’s how the players have progressed, sure. But EY2 has already outperformed expectations on draft day, and Barmes was always a SS. He could have gotten O-Dawg last offseason, but there’s not a lot of obvious forks in the road O’Dowd missed from getting here.

by Andrew T. Fisher on Nov 13, 2009 10:28 AM MST up reply actions
In all honesty
In this market if he wanted something else, he could go get it. So I’m not sure I’m totally on board with you.
I mean it more that it's coincidence that Gomez and Barmes are similar
Sure, O’Dowd could go out and get a higher OBP, poor fielder with the same net value if he wanted. He could trade Christian Friedrich, Gomez and EY2 for Brian Roberts too if he wanted. I’m just not sure where the logical obvious upgrade is right now.

by Andrew T. Fisher on Nov 13, 2009 10:35 AM MST up reply actions
I'm not really sure there is one at this point.
Lopez or Polanco or Hudson on one year deals may be an upgrade for the year, or it may be negligible. As much as I dislike Barmes at the plate, i’m ok with him at 2B as long as he bats no higher than 7th, and they don’t buy out his FA years with this “long-term” deal.
i was disappointed in that as well

Hope got in my eyes
oh it just hurts my mind
I’ll reiterate my stance on this: They’ve earned a lot of goodwill from me the past 2 or 3 offseasons in the forms of: Aaron Cook’s extension, Tulo’s extension (which is a smart move, not necessarily an open-the-pocketbook move, but still), Hawpe’s extension, signing Matzek, acquiring Betancourt, Beimel, Contreras, Marquis. They’ve shown they will make moves to keep us legitimately in this thing, but not mortgage the future for it, either.

I think it's Dan that should recieve the praise,

roughly this
it kind of falls with the same addendum as Tulo’s, that it’s just a smart move.

it drove people away
we did have specific complaints. And then somewhere in the middle of the catcher debate, it becomes a methodology for evaluating baseball talent debate, which then gets personal pretty quickly for some reason, and yeah.

with guys like him that upside should have panned out already at the MLB level, that the Angels have kind of been waiting and it never really has materialized. He’s just 24, so it could still, i’m just less optimistic on that high ceiling.

Yea. There are alot of guys like that though.
I was just looking through Wood’s minor league stats, he has done pretty well, to say the least. His MLB stints leave something to be desired though. Kind of looks like maybe he was pressing in the playing time he was given, LOTS of K’s. If he could be given the time to settle down and work through that with regular playing time, maybe it would work out.
