Wednesday Rockpile: Rockies interested in Bobby Crosby and others, plus some other thoughts

As discussed in yesterday's Rockpile, Baseball America has put together their Rockies top 10 prospects, with four 2009 draftees cracking the list, including Tyler Matzek at number one.
The Rockies made the decision to offer arbitration to Jason Marquis and Rafael Betancourt, but not Joe Beimel or Yorvit Torrealba. The team is also expressing interest in bringing Bobby Crosby in as a utility infielder who could play multiple positions and more or less replace Garrett Atkins as a primary corner bat off the bench. Also interest in free agent pitcher Noah Lowry has been expressed.
Time to take a step back and spell out what I'm seeing with these moves:
- The decision to offer arbitration to Marquis surprised quite a few, but added to the Rockies interest in Justin Duscherer and Lowry, it indicates that Dan O'Dowd might not be entirely comfortable going all in on a Jeff Francis recovery with only unproven internal prospects as insurance, and will be looking for an MLB experienced plan B. In recent seasons, O'Dowd has tried to stack plenty of starting options going into Spring. I don't think the team expects Marquis to accept arbitration, but they don't offer it to him if there's no room for him in their 2010 plans and they didn't feel they could get their money's worth out of him.
- Alternatively, and a bit less likely, it might mean that the Rockies have an intriguing trade offer on the table for a current starter, the guess would be Jorge De La Rosa given that his name popped up in last month's GM Meetings, but don't want to pull the trigger on the deal without a better succession plan in place.
- Bobby Crosby as Atkins' potential replacement is going to be one of those "trust me" sort of moves that could backfire on O'Dowd, but in that event is unlikely to make us any worse off than we were last year with Garrett's big slump. It could also pay off. As a replacement for Ian Stewart and Todd Helton, and given Jim Tracy's heavy reliance on platoon advantages, Crosby would be batting against LHP's mostly with the Rockies, against which he hit .265/.333/.460 in 2009 while playing the bulk of his games in pitcher friendly venues. Added to his defense and lower cost, I'm actually interested to see where this will go and am pretty comfortable with the decision.
- As for the Rockies catching front, the decision to not offer Torrealba arbitration while not closing the door to his return is a little trickier to gauge. There are other moves around the league like this that indicate small or mid-market teams feel that the arbitration process is overvaluing catchers, and that they can fill their needs on the open market at better cost efficiency. One intriguing possibility for a replacement for Torrealba is expected to be a victim of this trend, as the Tampa Bay Rays are expected to non-tender Dioner Navarro in a few days. Adding a 26 year old switch hitting bat could be useful. I haven't seen any indication that the Rockies would be interested in Navarro were he to be available, but I'm hoping I do if it does happen.

Crosby will Aid and Abet, Platooning..........
Jim Tracy, (manager of the year), with Crosby, will rely on platoon baseball? That’s exactly why we did not get past the first round. The match-up baseball/platoon, did not work. The only thing it did was convince Stewart, he could not hit lefties, and convince Atkins he could not hit righties. So in our case, you can take platooning and shove it!!

Crosby....
Maybe Crosby could be a “change of scenery” guy. Getting him out of Oakland could be very benefitial for a two reasons:
1) “playing the bulk of his games in pitcher friendly venues” – Coors, while we do have the humidor, is still a MUCH better place to hit than Oakland.
2) he could benefit immensely from hitting in the Rox lineup vs A’s.
Assuming he’ll be fairly cheap, there’s probably more upside than downside here. Worst case scenario we get nothing out of him at the plate (Atkins) but serviceable d as a replacement (Q).

Disagree strongly
I don’t see signing Crosby as a big risk and am interested to see what he could do for the reasons listed above by attackparrot.
As far as losing in the first round of the playoffs, Huston Street not being the same pitcher he was in the regular season and the JDLR injury were the two biggest reasons we lost that series.

Marquis Arbitration
So with Marquis being offered arbitration, is he a class A or B? I know Betancourt is class A but if both decided to sign elsewhere we could be getting a pretty good group of draft picks in the next draft.
I haven’t been able to keep up as much lately as I would like, but with the starting pitching market being pretty scarce I wouldn’t be surprised if the Mets sing Marquis regardless of draft pick price.

.349 in 2008 isn't bad...
I don’t know which backup catcher you’re looking at on the available market that has the fantastic OBP for cheap, but I’m sure the Rockies would like you to clue them in.
You’re going to have to get a flawed player regardless for the role that needs the filled, it’s just a matter of who it is and where you make your trade offs. The fact that Navarro had such a big drop off in 2009 is precisely why you would want to look at him right now if you’re a bargain hunting team like the Rockies. Is he off a permanent cliff or was 2009 just an anomaly? Is there something that can get fixed in his swing or his approach that will help him regain value? If he is done, than sure, pass him and move on, that’s not that hard to say no. But he was a top flight prospect not too long ago, it wouldn’t be wise to automatically walk away just because he’s not Joe Mauer.
by Rox Girl on Dec 2, 2009 9:58 AM MST up reply actions 0 recs
I personally consider 2008 the anomaly
given how no team would really sit and work with him
Hope got in my eyes
by Andrew Martin on Dec 2, 2009 11:08 AM MST up reply actions 0 recs
He also had a .354 OBP for the Dodgers in 2005 in close to 200 PA's as a 21 year old...
and his manager that season would probably know a little better about his willingness to learn and adjust than we do, so I can’t really speak to that but I figure Jim Tracy can, and again if the Rockies don’t want him, we won’t hear about it. Jason Hammel can probably let the team know what it’s like as a pitcher to work with him. I don’t believe we ourselves have enough evidence to be so dismissive.
He had a career .352 OBP in the minors and has yet to hit the 27-30 age range. He has a 30% career CS%, so his arm’s an upgrade on Torrealba. He was the primary catcher to a pennant winning team last season and he’s going to be cut loose with a lot of teams just simply ignoring him due to a poor 2009. He would be moving out of the AL and into the NL, out of a neutral park to a hitter friendly one. To me, this is an obvious value play that you have to at least check out. I mean, at the bottom end, I see a younger version of Torrealba that switch hits and throws more baserunners out. At the top end, he’s just been going through the inconsistency of youth and will level out with years not quite as good as his 2008, but in that range.

I think some of Navarro's inconsistency has to do with his weight
He reported & played in pretty good shape in 2008.
In 2009, he was a tub of lard.
Put him on the scales before offering him a contract.
by 6161Maris on Dec 2, 2009 11:42 AM MST up reply actions 0 recs
yeah, I was avoiding the conditioning issues..,
again, trade-offs. In advocating looking into him, I’m hoping that being cut loose would be a motivational wake-up call for him and would try to sign him to a one year contract to keep that motivation in place. There definitely would have to be some signs that he’s taking better shape of himself before allowing him to put ink to paper.

which is a fair assement, yes
it’d depend on the investment as compared to how much Dayton Moore will be willing to pay him.

Im totally up for kicking the tires on Navarro
Its not like we can expect an above average bat in a backup catcher anyway, so the defensive upgrade and potential to return to 08 form really intrigues me

Agree
Plus I like the idea of a backup catcher who started on a successful team before to keep CDI motivated from losing his job again. (I don’t think Navarro would ever actually outperform him, I just want someone there to keep him looking over his shoulder)

Harding says "core of the Rockies...will be the same in '10" heading into Winter meetings
And sad to see Harding fall into the “bad year against lefties” nonsense. Rockies were fourth in the NL against lefties in 2009 if you use OPS (.765 vs. NL average .737).

Aroldis Chapman IS Franklin Morales/Juan Morillo
And I claim my £5. I’m so glad we’re not in the running for his sig!
His career bases on balls per nine innings is 5.37, a stat that would rank him last — below Arizona’s Daniel Cabrera (5.24) and Milwaukee’s Seth McClung (5.31) — among the 245 major league pitchers who have thrown at least 341 career innings. And that’s calculated without adjusting for a softer strike zone and freer swingers in the Cuban league.

Not that I'm totally opposed to Navarro
but what’s wrong with Phillips?

Phillips will be 33 shortly after opening day next year,
He had a AAA OPS of .677 at Colorado Springs, which is in line with what he’s done through his last four seasons. I guess the short answer is that he’s on the wrong side of the slope as far as his career goes. I’d wager on the player just entering his prime over the one that is in all likelihood past it.
We already have Phillips on a minor league contract, anyway, even if you like him, why would you be opposed to hedging the bet with him anyway?
by Rox Girl on Dec 2, 2009 11:03 AM MST up reply actions 0 recs
Phillips filled in nicely during Iannetta's injury and Torrealba's kidnapping, but Phillips has never been a full time player before, even off the bench.
His entire career has been 2 week to 1 month stretches scattered about various years. Phillips did enough to earn a look, which he’ll get as an NRI, but he shouldn’t be handed the job. We’re going to see Phillips, McKenry, and at least one other player get looked at for the job.

I don't know much about Navarro
Has he had experience at another position in the minors? Could he possibly play 1B well enough to back it up? It would be nice to have that flexibility. And he could possibly regain his 08 value.

Cubs/Giants/Phillies interested in Betancourt
says Rosenthal and Morosi at FoxSports.com:
The Cubs and Giants were among the teams interested in Rafael Betancourt before the Rockies offered him salary arbitration on Tuesday, multiple major league sources told FOXSports.com.
Will they remain involved, now that they would have to part with a draft pick in order to sign the free agent reliever?
We’re about to find out.
Betancourt will probably give strong consideration to the Rockies’ arbitration offer, which would include a nice raise on the $3.35 million base salary he earned this year… The Phillies also have interest in Betancourt.

At this point, I'd be okay with a competition between EY2 and Barmes.
I’m not a super Barmes supporter (though compared to most, the fact that I’m even willing to give him a shot makes me such), but I really think most of the EY2 supporters will end up really missing Barmes’ defense after they see EY2 in action long term.

I am pro-Barmes, now that I've had time to think about it
His end of season MUST be an anomaly. It’s just not sustainable. It wouldn’t surprise me if, by the all star break, he’s exactly halfway between superBames of last summer and “what’s the Mendoza line doing up there” Barmes of the autumn.
by biondino on Dec 2, 2009 3:36 PM MST up reply actions 0 recs
Barmes himself is an anomaly.
His entire career has been an anomaly.
2005 = ROY surge, deer meat incident, utter fail upon return.
2006 = Disastrous year
2007 = Mostly in minors
2008 = Good year off the bench, slowly wins starting 2B job
2009 = Disastrous start, All Star surge in the middle, apocalyptic finish.
The guy has never just had a regular year in the majors. It’s an interesting resume, but it makes him rather hard to predict, which is precisely why handing him a multi-year contract seems nutso to me.

could be far worse
but god help us if he ever suits up at catcher, because I’m already crafting clever rants about why he plays 3B too much. I mean seriously, if we’re only going to use him v RHP, why on earth are we getting him? Stewart clubs RHP. I’m seriously just waiting for the excuses as to why the low-average-high-power guys never play despite their replacements being garbage in the form of [whatever backup catcher we end up with] and Crosby or whatever other Utility guy we find in the unemployment line.

oops, my mistake in the post...
Crosby as a right handed hitter would of course be mostly be hitting against LHP’s, but I put down RHP’s by mistake. I just fixed it.

It'd kind of ironic because of Tulo, as well...
Both Tulo and Crosby went to the same school. Crosby came up first, and there was a lot of comparison between the two. Now, it’s pretty easy to tell that despite missing out on ROY, Tulo is going to have the far more successful career.

I remember it well, because 2006 was when I first started following the team.
Crosby, despite declining in 2005, was still regarded as hot stuff, and keeping in mind how little I knew of our system at that point, all of the media folks were raving about Tulo, and how he could be “the next Bobby Crosby”.

Funny story about that
One of the Red Sox fans I know loves Tulo and said that if he were Theo Epstein he would give up just about anything to get him. I told him that he could save himself some time by not thinking about it because it is never ever going to happen. He then asked me (just for fun) what it would take from the Red Sox for the Rockies to give up Tulo (taking into account salary remaining on contracts and age of players). Funny thing is, I don’t know if there is a trade I would make even if I could have any combination of players I wanted (without getting rediculous). Having a shortstop that good is just such an advantage since the posisition is just so devoid of offense across MLB. Is there any group of players on the Red Sox that anyone out there would trade Tulo for?
I told my friend to just become a Rockies fan. :-)
