Winter Meetings Day 2: The Mets can't hold out much longer without signing a dumb contract

PrintGood freaking freezing morning, sports fans, it's time we gather around the hot stove, and I don't just mean to talk baseball, my toes are about to fall off. Thank God for my Columbia parka.
Let's kick things off with a name to warm us up: Randy Wolf.
The biggest teams interested in him are the Brewers (who are desperate for pitching) and the Mets (who are just desperate). The Brewers' camp is making it sound as if the deal is all but done, however Mets insiders are saying he's still available and they're still pursuing him.
But interestingly enough, the Brewers and Mets are intertwined otherwise, because if the Mets land Wolf, I'm seeing stirrings of a Corey Hart for John Maine trade - although this may just be lobby gossip, similar to the Edwin Jackson to the Mets rumors from yesterday. But if the Mets DON'T land Wolf (or another pitcher), then parting with any arms, especially young ones, is somewhat foolish.
Which brings us to Kevin Millwood. 35, coming off of a hot season, career history of being terrible, average at best. Something just screams Mets there.
Joel Sherman is suggesting that the Braves are looking to trade off Rafael Soriano, who just accepted arbitration. The Yankees are interested, but probably won't send much value, as the Braves have roughly zero leverage. Quick, Frank, get Jim Hendry on the phone before it's too late!
So before we start throwing more logs onto the fire, let's revisit one trade that didn't happen yesterday (but I guess still might, you know how these things work: nobody knows). The Yankees would receive Curtis Granderson as well as 2 prospects from the Diamondbacks(because their system isn't depleted or anything), Detroit would receive Max Scherzer from Arizona, along with Austin Jackson, Phil Coke, and Michael Dunn from the Yankees, and Arizona would receive Edwin Jackson from Detroit and Ian Kennedy from the Bronx. Frankly, AZ is getting hosed in that regard, because I see it as them giving up FAR more than they're receiving. And seriously, Yankees, quit being the Yankees and just call up Austin Jackson and let him cut his teeth in the majors already instead of just selling all of your prospects. Oh wait, you're the Yankees.

I'm thinking said dumb contract will go to Jason Marquis
Dear Rockies - Thank you for a wonderful rollercoaster of a season! NL Wild Card Champs. Best turnaround in MLB history for a team to win the Wild Card. Can't wait to do it again next year!
Troy Tulowitzki - MLB's BEST shortstop..nuff said
Yorvit Torrealba - Re-sign!! he's en Fuego!!
Brad Hawpe- I hope I get to see you in a Rockies uniform again!
Dexter Fowler - prowling CF, WC in his talons, leaping Utleys in a single bound!
but by the Yankees

Apparently the Yankees beat writers just bolted the room en masse
I wonder if that massive trade just went through, you know, the one that sticks it to the Diamondbacks.
Hope got in my eyes
I would cry
unless you sub Hughes for Kennedy

It's a miserable trade for AZ
Scherzer is better than Jackson, and then 2 extra picks to boot? Ian Kennedy is garbage.

agreed
Scherzer is our Mariano of the future. Kennedy and Jackson would be a decent 3-4 combo.

Mariano?
Rivera? Why limit his value, he’s your Rich Harden, hopefully healthier though!

that's why I said
theoretically, although hypothetically is probably the better word, as it covers me for my individual biases. :-)
Indianapolis Colts, taking focus away from my DBacks every Sunday.
Scherzer isn't better than Jackson, at least not yet
and when he will be he will be too expensive for the D-backs to keep anyway because of the MLB contract he signed when they drafted him. Kennedy’s a much better grade of garbage than what the Snakes currently have at the bottom of their rotation. I completely disagree with you here.
there's a reason Jackson has been traded several times
he’s not a long term solution. The chances of resigning a system guy is much greater than bringing in a guy and then resigning him in a year.
Indianapolis Colts, taking focus away from my DBacks every Sunday.
There is also a reason why the Tigers are getting so much interest in him,
including from the Diamondbacks and at least a little from the Rockies.
interest yes. I'm very interested
but at the asking price? No.
Indianapolis Colts, taking focus away from my DBacks every Sunday.
What interest are we still expressing?
maybe I glossed over it or something, but I don’t see where he fits into our plans.
Hope got in my eyes
by Andrew Martin on Dec 8, 2009 10:21 AM MST up reply actions
We aren't "expressing" anything anymore
but the team was interested enough in him to listen to the Tigers offer. That’s a lot more than we could say for a considerable chunk of starting pitchers out there.
The Dodgers too, apparently. It seems the Tigers have a pretty good idea of what they can get for him and are just trying to up the ante.
I suppose that means something
But as a GM, if a team were offering a starting pitcher better than what we can expect from Jeff Francis, I’d listen just in case the team was so desperate they fleece themselves.

Why do you not like what Arizona gets?
I think you underestimate Jackson, or maybe Kennedy, or both. They are definitely addressing a weakness with that trade.
Isn't Scherzer under team control longer than Jackson?
seems like a short-term move for a team that is a ways from a concrete contender

Not really, like I said above, Scherzer signed a MLB contract instead of a minor league one. His clock started ticking
just a little behind Jackson’s and he’ll be more expensive in arbitration. I think there’s more a perceived difference in value here than an actual one and Josh Byrnes is trying to take advantage of that. Bad PR for the team, though.
ah, see, I forgot the MLB contract thing
so negate that from my comment below

Really? This was from Nick Piecoro:
But a Jackson-for-Scherzer swap doesn’t make much sense for the Diamondbacks, does it? Scherzer has five years to go before free agency. Jackson’s a free agent in two.
That’s what I was going off of

I think it jumps his arbitration clock
but not his MLB service time clock?
Dammit Jabbs get in here
Hope got in my eyes
by Andrew Martin on Dec 8, 2009 10:06 AM MST up reply actions
His ML service time clock is his arbitration clock.
To put it more clearly, his arbitration status is directly linked to his ML service time. Signing a major league deal meant that he got placed on the 40 man roster right away. However, he didn’t accrue ML service time until he got on the 25 man roster. Signing a major league deal just meant that Arizona had to get him to the big leagues in three years or else he’d run out of minor league options.
Eschew Obfuscation!
its a two pitchers for one
but would you take quantity or quality? Throw Hughes in for Kennedy and it wouldn’t be a total disaster.
Indianapolis Colts, taking focus away from my DBacks every Sunday.
maybe I'm underestimating Kennedy
but all I can see is Jason Hirsh 2.0, can’t find the strike zone, doesn’t trust his own pitches, etc.
Scherzer has a better FIP, tRA*, K/BB, HR9, is younger, longer controlled, and I think has a far higher upside than Jackson.
If Jackson and Scherzer project to be so similar, why not save money and stick with Scherzer? I don’t see Kennedy being that much of an impact

Scott Boras likes you.
I actually think Jackson’s a better long term bet. Scherzer’s shoulder clock could run out before his arb clock does.
Just in case anyone's interested, it's warmed up all the way to 4 here in Loveland.
And it really doesn’t feel that warm.

hey guys, stopping by from Amazin' Avenue to say
don’t worry, im sure the Mets have plenty of poor decisions up their sleeve… I see Benji Molina in our future, Jeff Francoeur will likely recieve a long term deal, and god knows what we do with pitching.
Never fear, the Mets front office will find new and exciting ways to amuse the rest of the league.

if you can even call that an option
You guys definitely had a tough run for a while, but unlike the Mets you built for the future, we just go into repair mode every year to replace the decaying parts, usually by dealing off our entire farm system. I’m just waiting for the big offseason trade that sends most of our remaining minor league talent away for a 2 year loaner on some guy who won’t make a bit of difference.

His stuff looked pretty nasty, is all I'm saying.
I think the D-backs did okay here, but not nearly as they would have before Stink Jr. was involved.
not bad, that's for sure
but he’s no DLR or Scherzer in terms of K9 anyhow. 2009 was definitely a boost to his K9, but I don’t know about the rest of his stuff.

It's got more bite than Scherzer.
He’ll have more success when hitters do make contact, I’m going to guess that most seasons and on average through their careers his BABIP will be lower.

I agree, a lot of moving parts that could flip it one way or another.
I think all three organizations made some interesting gambles. The Tigers are going heavy on youth and upside, the D-backs are gambling that the value of the innings pitched they acquired makes up for the projected lack of innings in the pitchers they traded away and the Yankees dealt prospects for a single quality player that they expect to perform at a high level over the next few years.

What I'm hearing
is that Jackson’s absolute upside is Granderson, so the Yankees win there. Phil Coke is nothing special, so no big loss there. Ian Kennedy, well, we’ll see what he can come up – I’m not holding my breath.
This does look like quantity vs quality to me.

Assumptions this makes that may not be true:
1. That Granderson’s upside is still Granderson.
2. Phil Coke is nothing special.
3. Ian Kennedy isn’t a first round talent.
I actually believe #2, but I think who ultimately wins hinges on the other two.
I like #1
Lokking at it Granderson really only has one really good year.
The way Ian Kennedy works out may be the biggest key to ehis whole deal

2008, .374 wOBA. That’s not a decline, that’s still good. I’d argue he’s played over his own head in 2007, and that 2008 is more realistic, and 2009 was a down year.

I don't know about that
I clicked on the leadres button on fangraph and looked at OPS for those years. (160 guys qualified in 2006 and 154 guys qualified for 2009.) Granderson’s .773 OPS in 2006 was only good for 106 out of 160 and and Granderson’s .780 OPS in 2009 was only good for 97th out of 154.
(In 2007, his awesomw year he was 22nd out of 162)

but if he's already granderson
then 1 granderson >= best-case-scenario granderson
I’m not saying Jackson isn’t good, but he could turn out to be Coco Crisp, you know?
Frankly, Detroit won this trade.
and I’m not saying Kennedy wasn’t 1st round talent, but so was greg reynolds – not to flog that horse, but the point is that neither of them have displayed that talent in the majors – not to say they never will, but signs aren’t pointing to positive at the moment

by Andrew Martin on Dec 8, 2009 2:49 PM MST up reply actions
But signs are pointing to positive for Kennedy
or else the Diamondbacks don’t make this trade. It’s a situation where what scouts have seen lately trumps our knowledge of what’s in the stat book. These guys aren’t stupid, they have people watching the numbers just as much as we do. And when people say A-Jax has Granderson upside, they mean Granderson at his best, in his prime upside. After injuries the last two years, we don’t know how long Granderson himself going to last at that level, if he lasts at all given that his 2009 could have been the start of a steep decline, while A-Jax is clearly on the upslope. It’s not at all a sure win for the Yankees in that exchange but you make it sound like it is ignoring all risk involved. Same with the pitchers Detroit got back. Both big risks, both relatively unproven at the level people assume they are going to perform at. I’m not saying they’ll be duds, obviously the Tigers did their homework here too. I’m just saying it’s way too early to call a winner on this one, and I think a lot of people are ignoring a portion of the risks or possible rewards for the teams involved to conveniently fit their narrative.

Dbacks.
I said it before and I’ll say it again; they might be trouble next year.
They need a bit of luck for their rotation to pan out, but I think it’s hardly unreasonable to expect Webb to return and be very good. Haren, Webb, Jackson, Kennedy, and X will win a lot of ballgames with a middle of the road offense and ‘pen.
Speaking of offense…Upton, Reynolds, Parra, Montero, Young, and Drew are all young and are already good or are due for improvement (though nothing is certain). That leaves holes at 1b, 2b, and corner OF. Connor Jackson is returning, and that should help. I see no reason why that offense can’t click like ours did in 07.
If they can cobble together an effective bullpen… well, i don’t want to belabor the point.
Winners never quit, and quitters never win. But if you never quit *and* never win, you are an idiot
yeahhhhh they just downgraded pretty massively and sold off a decent prospect pitcher in Schlereth.

I posted this a while ago but I'll post it again because it's on topic
1) I don’t think they are that good. They have two great pitchers (Webb and Haren) and two great hitters (Reynolds and Upton) and that’s it. Stephen Drew is a nice shortstop (career .771 OPS) but that’s it and Conor Jackson is a good but not great hitter. To me the D’Backs are a team with a few great players and no real supporting cast; and if any of those great players gets injured, like Webb did last year, their season is pretty much over. I don’t think they are a terrible team, I just think they are destined to float around .500 with the pieces they have there.
2) I don’ think the D’Backs ever were that good. (Last three years) In 2007 everybody likes to think that the Rockies were the fluke, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. The D’Backs that year were outscored by their opponents by 20 runs over the 162 games that season. According to the pythagorean win/loss, they should have only won 79 games; 11 fewer than their actual division winning total of 90. The Rockies on the other hand outscored their opponents by 102 runs in 2007 and had a pythagorean win/loss of 91 wins which was more than anyone else in the NL. So despite what Eric Byrnes thinks, the Rockies actually were the best team in the NL in 2007 over the course of 162 games and not just during the last few weeks of the season. At the same time the D’Backs winning 90 games while being outscored by 20 runs was the real fluke.
In 2008 the D’Backs led the division for almost the entire season with Webb and Haren both pitching well but their lead had more to do with the mediocrity of the NL West that season than the talent level of their team. They ended the season just two wins shy of their second consecutive division title but with only 82 wins. In just about any other season they would hovered around third place for most of the year but a bad NL West may have given them a false sense of security.
In 2009 Webb was injured so that 70 win number is obviously low, but I don’t think this group of players are or ever were much better than a .500 team.

So did Pythagoras come up with this?
Was it his second great theorem?
Or was it just a theorem presented with permission from Pythagoras, similar to the “all masters are swanks and love the cane” theorem.
Actually, the "Pythagorean Winning Percentage" is just an attempt to curve fit data.
But, it is a pretty decent approximation, and does almost as well as a more accurate model. If you make the assumption that the number of runs a team scores and allows in a game are independent of each other, you can calculate the teams winning percentage by a probabilistic method. I did this, and then compared to actual winning percentages. The probabilistic model was better, but not by enough to justify the added complexity. Incidentally, I found a paper by a mathematician that showed that if you assumed a certain type of scoring distribution, you would arrive at the “Pythagorean” percentage.
Not like either will make much of a significant impact
Probably filler until someone gets hurt, like Peralta or Rincon, but a little less suckish.

Hudson at second with Barmes at utility is so much more valuable than just signing Mora or Crosby. Is it it more expensive? Yes, but the Rockies are at their biggest playoff window right now, we should take advantage of it, especially since Hudson is going to be worth more than his 2010 salary, just like last year.

D-backs, meanwhile, have about six million left to spend on an infielder and the bullpen. Given that they weakened the bullpen quite a bit by dealing Schlereth, I don’t know if that’s enough.
Both of these are good news for the Rockies, it seems that our opponents are hobbled by money.
speaking of which,
two other relevant NL West tweets,
Giants indicate that the Pudge signing has broken up the owner’s collusion, err made finding a Molina replacement difficult.
Padres have nothing imminent. Kouzmanoff smoke was just smoke apparently.
Nightengale says Padres turned down Glen Perkins from the Twins for Kouzmanoff and want more.
They’re going all Garrett Atkins with him, apparently.
Glen Perkins is such a milquetoasty name
Have to get more than that for a guy named Kouzmanoff
Waiting out the Rockies' offseason by watching the Broncos succeeding at not failing to fail once the giddy rush of success has failed.
That one bona fide starter might be Paul Maholm
Dodgers apparently interested, no word from Pirates. They’ve asked a lot for their pitchers in the past.
hmmm that's kinda scary for us
Dear Rockies - Thank you for a wonderful rollercoaster of a season! NL Wild Card Champs. Best turnaround in MLB history for a team to win the Wild Card. Can't wait to do it again next year!
Troy Tulowitzki - MLB's BEST shortstop..nuff said
Yorvit Torrealba - Re-sign!! he's en Fuego!!
Brad Hawpe- I hope I get to see you in a Rockies uniform again!
Dexter Fowler - prowling CF, WC in his talons, leaping Utleys in a single bound!
Status quo is better in this case, yes,
We’ll see how far this goes, I don’t think Maholm will be given up cheaply, particularly given that the Pirates will likely angle for a return comparable to what the Tigers got for Jackson. If the Dodgers lose Elbert and another arm, for instance, that puts a real dent on their ability to fill that last starter slot in house.
Maholm's pretty decent. Huntington would be wise to ask for a good return
but not play TOO hard of ball, unless he somehow sees them being competitive in the next 2 or 3 snort years

Listen
Those Winter Meetings are probably awesome dude. I would be getting hammered and offering up all kinds of wild deals and generally just shootin’ the shit with all my homie GMs around the place. If someone offered me that deal, I probably would come back with a lop-sided deal of my own. It’s I roll.

To even compare we'd have to offer Chacin, Friedrich, Rosario, and Gomez
Yeah……..:/
The Marlins must have deal almost done or something.

Smoak = Friedrich, Rosario, Gomez?

Statwise, Friedrich piled just as many K's in the same levels as Feliz
but he was a good two years younger than Friedrich at the time.
If Rosario and Gomez rake at Tulsa next year, fans in general will call them legit prospects, because their ceilings are pretty damn high.
I don’t know, because Feliz’s fastball is just so freaking fast and good, and his offspeed stuff looked legit of what I saw of him. I haven’t seen enough of Friedrich, though the rare times I’ve seen him his curveball is just jaw-dropping. Also, Smoak’s raw hitting ability probably dwarfs both Rosario and Gomez.
Impossible not to have positive thoughts.
I want Sam Deduno to pitch already.
But as you said, Smoak is a first baseman, which works against him
But his hitting is just good enough to put him in that top 10-20 MLB prospect territory.
Impossible not to have positive thoughts.
I want Sam Deduno to pitch already.
Feliz is ahead of all of our pitching prospects.
Matzek might be that good a prospect someday, but it would be at the upper end of his projection.

Here's an interesting quote from Harding
The Rockies have stated an intention to give organization product Chris Iannetta a chance to take the job. However, the Rockies haven’t forgotten that when Iannetta slumped in 2009, Torrealba seized the job and helped the Rockies into the playoffs.
