Winter Meetings Day 3: WAR and rumors of WAR

PrintIf you all missed it, yesterday's Winter Meetings thread was absolutely ridiculous.
Rumors were milled. Topics were lost. Games were played. Pandas were exploited.
And the Stove was Hot.
As Rox Girl points out in today's RockPile, there was a big 'ol trade yesterday.
The Yankees gave: P Ian Kennedy, OF Austin Jackson, P Phil Coke.
The Yankees got: CF Curtis Granderson
The Tigers gave: P Edwin Jackson, CF Curtis Granderson
The Tigers got: P Max Scherzer, P Daniel Schlereth, OF Austin Jackson, P Phil Coke
The Diamondbacks gave: P Max Scherzer, P Daniel Schlereth
The Diamondbacks got: hosed GOOD VALUE COMPLETELY SCREWED (dammit Rox Girl give me back my keybelsrajri rahahfgghghhhhh) P Edwin Jackson, P Ian Kennedy.
The Tigers are planning on making Austin Jackson their opening day CF to replace Granderson.
And there's been a bunch of news today already. Andy Pettitte is making news by signing a 1-year, $11.75M contract with the Yankees.
Speaking of the Yankees, they're still pushing for Roy Halladay, with Jesus Montero being the centerpiece of the deal. They must really be banking on Joe Mauer becoming a FA, while Toronto sees Montero as being a 1B primarily. I've heard this isn't a terrible assessment, but it means that the Yankees will have to send along Phil Hughes or Joba Chamberlain.
Apparently the Mets are thinking that dealing 2B Luis Castillo is suddenly unlikely to be moved. They're also looking at John Lackey.
On the other side of the country, the Mariners and Felix Hernandez seem to be miles apart in contract extension. Felix wants 6 years, $100M, and the M's want 4 years, 2 options, and less than half of that figure. Future Red Sox #2 FELIX HERNANDEZ WOOOOOO!
Meanwhile, in terms of stuff relevant to us, the Rockies and Yorvit Torrealba are talking turkey on a 2 year deal. I haven't seen this finalized yet.
All your rumors can go here.

Jon Heyman just called me
Says that Omar is cracking open the wallet, looking to make a play on Lackey, Holliday, or Bay, and want to sign 1 of the big 3.
Also they’re looking back into Bengie Molina. To pinch run.

I do hate the Cubs
Problem is that I hate the Cubs more for their fanbase than anything else so their off-season moves leave me with a feeling of apathy. The fans are going to be unbelievably arrogant and intolerable whether they win or not so it doesn’t matter to me what they do in the off-season.

Team building interests me more than the actual games.
I like seeing the challenges of building up a team by making good choices and trying to overcome a culture of losing by forging ahead with bold decisions and radical changes. The Red Sox and Yankees just throw money at every facet of the organization and anytime they make a mistake it results in more money being spent. I realize this is a crude view of how they do things but they don’t have the same intrigue as lower market teams do. It’s like the difference between playing Madden Franchise Mode with the Salary Cap on and Salary Cap off. “Make tough decisions on players…or spend more money.” There’s no fun in the Yankee Way.

C/UT Robinson Chirinos of the Cubs
is getting Rule 5 buzz due to his impressive Venezuelan appearance this winter according to Phil Rogers. He bats right handed and can play multiple positions. In many ways he seems made for the Rockies current needs, but like I said in the Rockpile thread, it’s pretty unlikely they draft somebody tomorrow. If he’s available at their pick, Chirinos might be worth at least a Spring Training look.
Are you also

I'm sort of amazed how much faith fans put in their pitching prospects sometimes
Both TBLA and MCC are seeing developments that are pushing inexperienced arms into important major league roles as positives for next season. The front offices for both teams do not seem nearly as happy about this. Really if these pitchers were that close to ready, I doubt both their teams would have traded for starting help late last season. Anyway, just my two cents worth, I think the situation as it currently stands favors the Rockies.
Is Clayton Kershaw one of those inexperienced arms?

I concur
our pitching really busted some heads last year, and we won’t be relying on a rookie to eat a significant number of innings – well, unless we consider the 5 hole to be the significant number of innings.
Do we sign a FA journeyman to fill the #5 as insurance for Francis/Chacin/Whoever?

I don't know, after that
Teams tend to stockpile a lot of pitchers going into Spring, if it were me, given the success the Rockies have had with JDLR and Hammel, I would follow the course of the last two seasons and just sign some interesting reclamation NRI’s and wait out the end of ST roster crunch. If the team can’t get the quality it wants at an affordable rate, the waiver market might be the next best option.
any interest in Doug Davis?

I would think he's too expensive.
I think the club has an idea of wanting to spend less than $5 million for this.
figured as much
apparently there are bidding wars over him, being led by the Brewers – well, there were before they locked up Wolf anyhow

He might be a possibility.
I could work with this
It is another solid pitcher who can eat innings, and keep the ball in the park.

for us to get him? no kidding
the good thing is I don’t think the Yankees or Red Sox have enough left that they’d be willing to sacrifice to land him.

I thought there was no chance of Granderson or Jackson moving.
I’d put the probability very very low. But the Tigers seem determined to shed as much payroll as possible. Probably nothing to the rumor though.
I certainly wouldn't
but their bad contracts (willis, etc) plus the economic climate in Detroit makes it worthwhile to at least float his name out to see what bites they get.
God thats ugly

I’m just saying it wouldn’t be that outrageous for them to float his name. If they can get back something great. I doubt they would, but I wouldn’t be shocked for them to toss his name out

Agree Here
Right now Street is better then Morales, but is he better enough looking into the future to justify 30 million. And going beyond this is he 30 million better then Morales, or Weathers or Corpas. I don’t feel comfortable paying that kind of money for a closer.

I don't think he was the same guy after the injury
Look at what Mariano Rivera did for the Yankees this year, look at what Brad Lidge did for the Phils last year. Remember every team that lost this postseason had a meltdown by their closer in the series they lost. (Street game 4, Papelbon game 3, Nathan game 2, Franklin game 2, Fuentes game 2 and almost game 5, Broxton game 5, and Lidge game 4.)

Must have missed this news if its old.
So if we traded Street, would we move Betancourt to the 9th inning?
Or leave him in the setup role and let Morales/Corpas take another crack at closing?
I really can't see Betancourt as a closer
He has an established reputation as a classic 8th inning guy, but never a closer. I’m not sure he could handle it

This is the problem with taking a rule 5 pick
The team’s roster is pretty well set going into next year, We don’t have extra space in the bullpen to hide someone and we don’t have a team where someone’s unprotected minor leaguer is better then any of our current options starting or even really on the bench like San Deigo did last year.

Rangers interested in Augie Ojeda
According to Steve Gilbert. He’s not quite in the category of Cody Ross, Pedro Feliz or James Loney where he just seems to play so much better against the Rockies than he does against anybody else, but he’s close. I wouldn’t mind not seeing him next season.
Oh crumb...
Craig Baker is getting attention in the Rule 5 draft too. I’d actually regret losing him more than Johnston.
Reverse order of the standings in 2009,
but the Nationals “traded” their top pick to the Yankees in exchange for Bruney. It actually works out that the Nats still pick the player, but the Yankees tell them who to pick and get him as a PTBNL.
Where would they play Uggla?
3B and move Sandoval to 1B?
by Greg Stanwood on Dec 9, 2009 12:16 PM MST up reply actions
Last I heard, it was kind of a convoluted scenario where they get Uggla
play him at second, move Sanchez to third and Sandoval to first. The thought being that Uggla would be worse at third than he is at second and not really valuable at first or something. Whatever it is, this move might weaken their infield defense enough to offset most of the offensive gain.
this is the correct answer
Sandoval needs to not be a 3B. I mean, he wasn’t bad like BADDDDD but he was hardly a solid 3B.

That nippy, pleasing skin cold turns nasty pretty fast,
especially when it goes on for several weeks and you have stretches of days below the zero line. And the SoCal bone deep cold doesn’t hit as bad as it does in Buffalo/Cleveland, which I haven’t lived in, but I’ve seen enough winter days in to safely say they are my least desirable winter locales.
Sure, I suppose Hawaii or somewhere down on the Baja coast are better still, but I’ve never been.
Can't agree.
50 is my ideal temperature, and I’d much rather it be 0 than 100.

then why are you complaining about SoCal?
It actually sounds like we might agree. It’s funny how everybody thinks their weather’s the pits.
My complaint about SoCal was the actual feeling of cold.

Well, you're in Rhode Island, so it might be different.
Do you have humidity there? If so, you already know it. Dry cold like you get in Colorado is far different than cold in places with humidity.
We always have heavy humidity (All year round)
The only time we don’t is if a huge front passes through and even then it’s back in a day or too. (Southern New England really sticks out into the Atlantic so we’re always effected by it.) I think I would like Colorado though because my favorite weather days are those precious few after a front moves through.

I think you exaggerate there...
I can understand equal temp to equal temp , that CO cold is more bearable, but right around that single digit mark, it’s just cold and it doesn’t matter if it’s dry. And the great thing about SoCal is that you actually warm up during the day. At least on the Western Slope, that’s not always the case.

I had a friend in LA, who would walk around in shorts and

I think the point was more about humidity.
At least, that’s how it is here. It took me a couple years to figure out why 50 degrees here felt colder than 50 degrees in Colorado or Utah (where I went to school). The humidity makes the cold go right through you.

Would be excellent insurance
if he could be signed cheaply. Plenty of teams could use a solid, cheap, bottom of the rotation guy like him, so he may not wind up being that cheap. He’s not someone I’d invest much in at least.

I remeber closely watching the 9th inning of a game in April against the Phillies where Josh Johnson was pitching a shutout and he came with a 3-0 lead in the 9th and gave up seven runs in one of the worst attempts to close a game I have ever seen. I’ve seen him here and there throughout the season too and it always seems like he’s giving up runs. Perhaps you’re right since all three of you seem to agree but I don’t think I’ve seen him have a clean inning.

Ronnie Belliard listed first, Jamey Carroll possible according to Dylan Hernandez. This seems a rather drab list.

Didn't he say something about not wanting to pitch
in his hometown because of the pressure? or am I confusing that with someone else?

why does it matter so much?
The matchups get messed up quickly, and I think it’s likely he will miss starts regardless, so I doubt you’re putting extra strain on his arm. I think worrying about the order is much ado about something of little benefit.
It probably is.
But the #2 is still probably more likely to face more difficulty than the #4, even after the rotations get knocked out of line. Even if it only makes a small difference, I’d rather not have Francis in that position. But hey, they know better than I do.
by Greg Stanwood on Dec 9, 2009 2:28 PM MST up reply actions
The pitching rotation is arbitrary
The only thing is the match-ups. I remember back a few years when our 4/5 pitcher was getting run support against other aces and winning. This indicates to me that if we score runs it doesn’t matter who’s pitching as long as they throw strikes.
JFK
The matchups are indirectly dictated by the rotation.
If you toss someone in the #2 spot, they’re still more likely to draw tougher opposition than the #4 spot. No, it’s not going to happen that way all the time, but it will to a degree that prevents it from being arbitrary. If it were arbitrary, I assume you’d be okay with putting Jason Hammel in the #2 spot?

If pitchers were perfectly separated into skill level,
yes. But this isn’t the case. Some teams #4s are going to be stronger than other teams’ #3’s, so the advantage of playing it like this can make a bigger impact depending on who is in your rotation.

Tango at the Book blog showed that it's not all that relevant a few years ago.
You get this benefit for something like two weeks, and even then, if you’re #4 has a much greater advantage over your opponent’s #4 than your opponent’s #2 has over your #2, as would be the case here, it’s at worst neutral to a true order of rotational skill. The upside of the study was that it’s far more important who is in your rotation than what order they pitch in.
Is that why the team from ny does what they do?
get the best pitchers to throw them in any order they want.
JFK
Well, of course who is in your rotation is more important.
But I still don’t see anybody acknowledging that the order they pitch in can affect the matchups in a way that makes them more equal. I’m not trying to say that a good rotation can only operate in a specific order. However, the #2 starter is going to match up with more #2s than the #4. I’d rather have Aaron Cook in these games than Jeff Francis. Whatever difference that is, I’d prefer to have it than to just shrug it off as not important.

Just an attempt to optimize the use of SPs.
It serves to put them in a cycle that their body can adjust to. That’s the primary reason why the system isn’t complicated further. I know if I were a manager, I’d probably try to find a way to use matchups moreso than a regular rotation, but the disadvantage there is that it doesn’t provide regularity for the pitchers if I try to use one every five days, but only use one after off days, for example.
by Greg Stanwood on Dec 9, 2009 2:46 PM MST up reply actions
What if the team was playing a lefty heavy lineup in the opening series?
and a RH heavy lineup in the second? It would make far more sense matchup wise to go Jimenez/Francis/JDLR/Cook/Hammel and the Rockies would benefit tremendously. What if a team is susceptible to sinker pitchers? This sort of matchup has far more impact than who the opposing pitcher is. The opposing pitcher should only dictate how Tracy builds his lineup, not his rotation.
My above post (reply to SDcat) kind of pseudo-addresses this
If it were easy to juggle individual series matchups like that (heavy right handed team, let’s use this setup), etc, etc, I’d go for it. But because of rest and consistency constraints, the rotation is just easier.
by Greg Stanwood on Dec 9, 2009 2:48 PM MST up reply actions
But if it all gets messed up after two weeks,
as far as matchups because of different offdays and weather, where your opening day starter is now facing your opponent’s #3 or whatever, and it does work out like this, why not start the season where you obtain the most benefit in the opening couple of series and then leave it like that for rest and consistency constraints? Wouldn’t that make more sense?
Why does it get messed up?
The #2 may not be facing #2s anymore, but he’s less likey to face #4s or #5s than the #4 or
- guy is. You’re operating under the assumption that I think that every matchup will be ideal. I think that MORE of them would be ideal, and no, I don’t think THAT gets messed up after two weeks. Depending on how many games have been played, teams have played, #2s should still usually be starting against #1s through #3s, and #4s should mostly be facing #3s through #5s. Injuries, reshufflings, etc. warp it further, but not all the time. Just following the pattens of most of our opponents last year, the matchups were almost always just one mark off at most.
I may go through and list every starting pitching matchup each pitcher had, and see which are thought to be most difficult. I’m willing to bet the most difficult set of opponents over the season fell to the #1, #2, and #5 spots.

it’s normal for teams. Tell me what you come up with.
I don't believe it is.
My hypothesis: I believe that more than 3/5ths of the time, the pitcher will be facing a pitcher one spot removed from their own rotational slot.
This can’t be tested scientifically, as again, spots change, etc. but after my finals this weekend, I’ll do a case study with last season’s regular pitchers and see what happens. :)
by Greg Stanwood on Dec 9, 2009 3:12 PM MST up reply actions
One spot removed at most. That includes equal.
by Greg Stanwood on Dec 9, 2009 3:12 PM MST up reply actions
All it takes to mess up the best of plans
Is the #2 starter on a team getting injured and the club brings up a Minor Leaguer who is the 5th best starter but in order to keep rest days right they just plug him and go. Now your #2 slot is facing their #2 slot but in reality its the 5th best vs. 2nd best
by Chacinisthefuture on Dec 9, 2009 3:20 PM MST up reply actions
Yes, I've already acknowledged this.
I reiterate: I am NOT making the claim that it can’t be fouled up, or that it never is fouled up. But MOST teams do not end up in that situation. At various times, different teams bring up different pitchers, and they usually restack their rotation midseason using off days to take care of that. Your #2 replacement would be pitching in the #5 slot as soon as rest constraints allowed it to be possible.
Meanwhile, 85% of the other teams are playing just fine with their regular rotation, which is off by one game at the largest for most of the season, sometimes more or less due scheduling and or game schedule changes. It’s for this reason that it will be so hard to measure, as there’s almost no consistency. But I still feel that our players pitching out of the #2 slot will have greater difficult than those in the #4 spot overall.
by Greg Stanwood on Dec 9, 2009 3:28 PM MST up reply actions
Well, one spot removed is still a big deal when you only have five slots.
What’s more, you suggest that what Tracy suggests is anathema to good baseball, but it’s more traditional than you realize. Just look at our division last season:
ARI:
Webb
Haren
Davis
Garland
Petit
this was the closest rotation order to a true skill level in the NL West last year.
LAD:
Kuroda
Wolf
Billingsley
Kershaw
McDonald
Breaking up the LHP’s with a disregard to skill level… and they didn’t seem to do too badly at the beginning of last season.
SFG:
Lincecum
Johnson
Cain
Zito
Sanchez
Bochy also did that with his LHP’s. Cain was clearly the second best pitcher the Giants had.
Peavy
Young
Silva
Correia
Hill
Alright, maybe if you ignore Silva, the Padres were trying for a straight 1-5, but they didn’t have LHP’s to split up.
I'm not going to say that it's "bad baseball"...
Not that other teams don’t do things like this. I’m trying to see if my mindset is simply focusing on something that might be ultimately more important than things like separating lefties.
I am aware it is not a scientifically provable thing; there’s just too many factors to predict, and in some cases, it probably does mean nothing, but I am still of the opinion that this quite simply isn’t arbitrary, and that stacking the rotation based primarily on projected talent is the best way to go.
Maybe not. We’ll see.
by Greg Stanwood on Dec 9, 2009 3:43 PM MST up reply actions
Plus, there's other ways to split the leftie than putting Francis as #2.
I’d almost rather put DLR there… he’s a question mark too, but less so than Francis.
by Greg Stanwood on Dec 9, 2009 3:45 PM MST up reply actions
yeah, just be careful about what you draw from the range you look at, btw...
If you throw a dart labeled #3 randomly at a field with zones labeled 1-5, it should be expected to hit in zones 2-4 (or any other three zone group) more than it will hit outside that group.
Assuming they're in proxsimity, which is exactluy the point I'm trying to make with the rotation.

Welp,
I may have to default to you. Upon studying the matchups that landed with our pitchers all season, while there are patterns, the general opponent spread is almost disastrously cavernous. :)

I think the ultimate conclusion here is that I am right that certain pitching spots attract certain other spots...

Tracy’s both trying to boost Hawpe’s trade value, and demonstrating faith in the player which will be a plus if he stays.
Tracy can very easily take a bit of blame on himself right now – he’s manager of the year after all!

Yes, I'm afraid so
I know it seems contrary, but for what Torrey can provide us (looking at CAREER stats) I think the money could be better spent elsewhere. And his presence may prevent talents like McKenry and (more pertinently) Rosario from developing as we’d like them to.
I'm in the pro-CDI camp
but I don’t think 2.5mil is TERRIBLE for the backup catcher, although I’d prefer if he could throw someone out, anyone…
if he gets hot at all, esp if it's during an iannetta slump, it could make up the value
the problem is that when he cools off, Tracy needs to give the job back to the better hitter.
Hope got in my eyes
by Andrew Martin on Dec 9, 2009 5:12 PM MST up reply actions
I'm not so sure that Tracy sees the hitting part as the only
measure of a catcher. I think he also looks at how games are called and how the pitchers are handled. Obviously, there is something that Torrey brings aside from hitting. I’m just speculating anyway, but that’s how it seems to me.

I watch every game I can
and both catchers do an excellent job calling the game and handling the pitchers. It does seem that Torrealba likes to nibble with offspeed pitches a bit more but that is sometimes the pitchers strength. Both catchers go away from a pitchers strength on occasion and it annoys me.

I like the theory
obviously overly simplistic, but more talent is always better.
Man this offseason has been fun. Other than 2b, I’m 100% fine with who we will be rolling with next year (and I’m not too down on 2b relative to most). Watching Dodgerfan come up with all these scenarios where they get Halladay or Lackey and all these other pieces in the face of the likelihood of getting Belliard and Garland or something…its fun to feel like we’re in good shape….
I'm done with the battling on this issue until games start next year
But why is this at all surprising? At the end of last year and in the playoffs, there was no doubt Yorvit was the clear starter. If we re-sign him, the only thing that will have changed is that the season ended and we go off to spring training. Generally, backups are not promoted over starters just because a season ended, absent other circumstances.
So in other words, I’m very interested to see how Tracy runs this “competition.”
In any case, may the best man win. And may the 2nd best man still contribute when called upon. I like this team’s chances next year, especially with the Dodgers issues, and the more competition/talent, the better.
yeah, I agree. If Iannetta's as good as we say he is,
and Tracy is genuinely interested in a competition and not just saying that to try and keep both players happy, than it shouldn’t be an issue. And if Torrealba proves better, the team still wins. I do wonder why he’s saying “competition” in terms of the catchers but already seemingly pencilling in outfielders, however.
That's a very good question

Interesting point
I’m basically in the “trade Hawpe” camp, though I’ve yet to see any reason that it actually might happen.
One interesting note (maybe): last Saturday I went to the retirement party of a former World Series starting shortstop, and chatted with him a bit about Rockies issues. One thing I learned quite clearly (not a Rockies issue, but still) is how much the actual managing of the personalities comes into play. We tend to fall into thinking of this as just moving parts around, but its quite clear that the guys in the dugout don’t see it that way. Which may be an obvious point, but shouldn’t be discarded.
Dang it

He finally realizes that the Rockies were a playoff team last year and is now picking them to win the division because if he picks them to win the WIld Card, he can’t pick the Braves.

Free Seth Smith? Again?
Jim Tracy told me he’ll give 500 ABs each to Carlos Gonzalez and Dexter Fowler, so with Brad Hawpe in RF, that’s the Rockies’ OF in 2010.

Well, that's still assuming a trade with good return doesn't come along.
Also, there will certainly be days where Hawpe gets the day off (either just for rest or when facing lefties or whatever) and other games where he’s spelling Helton at first (which sounds like would part of the plan if Hawpe is around). So there might be more at bats for a 4th outfielder than we think.
Though I still agree that Smith deserves more of a chance than that.
That's a lot of position changes
for a lot of players assuming Smith would still be LF, Cargo in RF if Hawpe is sitting or at 1B
Honestly, I forgot about Spilly
True, Smith would probably be back to pinch-hitting matchups, not a 4th outfielder.
Whether it’s Hawpe or not, we need to exploit the outfield depth and get a trade done before the season starts…
It's not looking likely at this point

by RhodeIslandRoxfan on Dec 9, 2009 3:55 PM MST up reply actions
Because of what the team is saying or because you don't think a trade is there?
I think if one gets done, it’s more likely to be after the free agent market has settled down a bit, when there are less outfielders available.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see a trade just before or during sprint training.
A little of both
I thought Seattle was a great fit before they signed Jr. again.

I just hope DOD has kept a good lid on the talks
not that they aren’t occurring. I thought some of the depth should have been exploited last year, so I’m just disappointed that I still haven’t heard anything concrete.
I haven't been paying extremely close attention...
…but have there been ANY rumors about trades from the Rockies?
You’d think we would have heard at least something if O’Dowd was shopping Hawpe or Spilly or Smith around.
maybe vs LHP?

ok this is absolutely retarded
I get that he’s a fan favorite and had 2 good months out of a 12 month contract, but give me a freaking break, the guy posted a .267/.326/.388/.714/.303 (AVG/OBP/SLG/OPS/wOBA) line over the 2 years of his contract. That’s pretty poor. I mean, as far as catchers go, it’s not an awful line, but it’s somewhat inflated by those 2 ridiculously hot months.
CHONE projects him to put up the following line in 2010: .242/.301/.353/.654/.290
as compared to his career line of .255/.315/.390/.706/.307
CHONE also projects Mike McKenry to post the following line: .243/.319/.376/.695/.308
Here’s a few others:
Josh Bard: .247/.314/.368/.683/.305
Miguel Olivo: .242/.276/.433/.710/.306
(I can’t find a projection for Paul Phillips)
I’m not saying WOW LETS GET OLIVO AND BARD WOOOOO, but just for the sake of comparison, that’s 15 and 16 points of wOBA better than Torrealba, and while I don’t know what Olivo’s going to demand if the Mets get REALLY desperate, I’m sure it won’t be $6M/2.
But if you ignore everything about the other FA Catchers, just look at McKenry! That’s an 18 point improvement on Torrealba’s projection, and it’s right around what Torrealba’s career line, and we know that McKenry is a solid catch-and-throw catcher to boot.
$6M/2 >>>>>>>>>>>> $400,000.
I don’t understand why we’re going to let this guy hold us hostage like this. That money could be so much better used elsewhere.

I'm not arguing about Torrealba's numbers, but how do McKenry's projections work?
Are those adjusting for a projected jump from the minors to the majors? Or are they just taking his minor league numbers and projecting off of that without regard for the tougher pitching he’d face?
this is straight from CHONE
he uses minor league equivalency to adjust for league difficulty, etc
I don’t 100% buy into them, but it’s a starting point of discussion.

I get the feeling
the Club is not 100% sold on CDI. They seem to be wanting to hedge their bet and not go with a “back up” type catcher but one that is more of a 1-a type catcher.
Which I’m fine with, as I think catchers in general will be getting less playing time in the future, and splitting more time with their backups to keep legs fresher.
which makes sense
CDI still needs to prove that 2008 was him, or at least some balance of it
Hope got in my eyes

The $65,000 question is
how many starts does he get to prove that. Too little, and maybe the team won’t have enough to get a good read. Too much (if he doesn’t) and there will be missed opportunities.
Personally I like Torrealba (minus the noodle arm), and he’s a good 1-a type catcher.
issue is who do you start if he slumps
and Torrealba plays to his career line/projection?

Tracy thinks the core
can compete for years
I wonder if Bud Selig will give the Yankees a receipt with their World Series purchase
by RhodeIslandRoxfan on Dec 9, 2009 7:05 PM MST reply actions
From that article, in regards to an issues discussed above:
Tracy likes the idea of competition for jobs. That means if the team re-signs Yorvit Torrealba, he will push Chris Iannetta for playing time. Also, left-handed hitting outfielder Seth Smith, based on his 2009 performance in starting and bench roles (.293, 15 homers, 55 RBIs in 335 at-bats) should be able to hit his way onto the field.
you see I read this as
“I’m going to start inferior players to try and urge the superior players to do even better somehow”
Hope got in my eyes
by Andrew Martin on Dec 9, 2009 7:14 PM MST up reply actions
But it doesn't work that way in both cases, at least by your definition.
In one case, you have CDI ( the better player, at least on talent) starting with Yorvit pushing, and in another case you have Smith (presumably who you are considering the better player) the one doing the pushing. So I don’t think that’s what Tracy is saying.
The close you get to the plate the more inferiority wins out

I can honestly say
that there’s no definitive way to know. Torrealba had the ABs, not anyone else. There’s no way of knowing if Iannetta would have figured it out and come through. No way at all.

See
When Torrealba started figuring it out there was no reason at all to believe he would come through the way he did for us. Seriously. I think there’s just as good a chance that Iannetta comes through as Torrealba was going to. I’m glad Yorvit stepped up but there’s absolutely no way you can definitively say that Iannetta wouldn’t have done it.
A little rudeness and disrespect can elevate a meaningless interaction to a battle of wills and add drama to an otherwise dull day.
Yeah but here's what we know

Stripes
It was previously believed that zebras were white animals with black stripes since some zebras have white underbellies. However embryological evidence shows that the animal’s background color is dark and the white stripes and bellies are additions.1

I think the facts are
that no one can definitively say whether CDI would have come through had he been starting instead (the same can be said for any personnel move you make), but you go on the info you have at the moment. Some (most?) of us would have made the same decision Tracy did, but no one could say with 100% certainty what would have happened if a different decision would have been made. We can only make educated guesses.
Right.
A little rudeness and disrespect can elevate a meaningless interaction to a battle of wills and add drama to an otherwise dull day.
The real interesting question is
do we make the playoffs without Jim Tracy?

The thing is
Torrealba wasn’t exactly lighting the world on fire when Iannetta was failing. I think the only people who really got lucky here were Rockies fans because we had two failing catchers and one caught fire at the right time. We played the hot hand and we won. Hooray beer! With the season over and us looking at building for NEXT season, are you willing to roll the dice that everything is going to fall Torrealba’s way again?

by Andrew Martin on Dec 9, 2009 9:02 PM MST up reply actions
That's poor management, imo.
Suddenly 2 months of solid hitting is going to lead to a breakthrough in his age 32 season? It’s absolutely possible but when you’re looking at limited resources for what is likely to be a backup catcher position are you really wanting to spend $2 million per season?
What about Phillips? He came up and played great for us. Why aren’t you rolling the dice on him when he helped keep the position afloat when it was floundering? He’s cheaper and is JUST as big a question mark as Torrealba.

I don't agree that Torrealba is such a question mark
He proved his value in 07, fell off last year…and proved it again this year. Phillips hasn’t had that much time here for proper comparison to Yorvit or CDI.

My point is
they’re all question marks. Nobody feels comfortable with any of them. I don’t see how Torrealba proved his value with two solid months of baseball twice in three years. That isn’t exactly a ringing endorsement. With Yorvit we know what we’re getting. We’re getting a whole lot of mediocre with a chance for a couple weeks of great play. Iannetta is still a lot of potential and no production yet. I think Torrealba is fine as an insurance policy but I don’t think he’s someone you should rely on for production like you seem to be comfortable with.

Wow I've missed out on a lot :P
Sorry guys just so much homework lately..its the end of the semester with finals next week so school has been sort of stressful lately. (No need to brag but I’ve got perfect grades =) AND this week we’re playing for the Valley Championship in my state’s section for football!!! Wish me luck guys :D I read PR everyday still..and I finally got all caught up with the Winter Meetings…
First glance I thought the Yanks stole Granderson. I’ve always liked him, he’s a solid ballplayer. The more I look at it the more I like the Tiger’s return though. Glad the D’backs got what looks like to be the short end of the deal although Jackson sureee can pitch.
I like Torrealba…I really really do. But my perception of him is skewed from his performance during the latter half of the season. But seriously..he was SO clutch for us that we just can’t let him walk. Not after the all the magical hits he got for us.
I like where our pitching stands but Correia is intriguing. If we stand pat then I’ll be very content with what we have.
I also would’ve liked Crosby to come but there are plenty more options out there for us to choose from.
Let’s see what happens.
Remember old folks, I'm just 17 years old =]
Oh and btw..(sorry SDcat)
I want Hawpe to be traded. Smith, Gonzalez, Dex in the outfield would be wayyy more productive IMHO than Hawpe over any of them. Let’s get some pitching and a replacement for Atkins.

Did you see that Lost promo from Spain?
Apparently the producers aren’t releasing any clips, so networks are having to get creative. The Lost TPTB even said it was the best Lost promo he’d ever seen.
now it was just clips from pilot to current

One thing I love about Lost
is the last two seasons they’ve stopped trying to reel in new people and are just going for it. They stopped dropping lots of little hints and things about past episodes and connections and just assumed that if we were watching the show now that we would know what was going on and they’ve catered the show to the followers now. It’s great.

I HATE Kate episodes.
I just do not find her interesting. After the first episode it was like “kay, she can’t stay in one place and she has a constant need to run. She’s tortured and can’t settle down and will try to reform her ways only to hurt people by reverting back to true self. Got it.” THEN WE GOT INUNDATED WITH 500 MILLION MORE EPISODES OF HER. Ugh.

Season 3 regained the magic and I promise you that if you loved Season 1, you’ll love what’s going on right now on the show. Last week’s episode might be the best FNL episode yet. Of course, I’m totally biased as I relate to the content of the episode almost to a T.

Quinn getting kicked out
was a huge storyline. To never again mention it is a slap in the face. I understand most of the events that occur are trivial but her being KICKED OUT is not trivial. If she’s living with Finn, their relationship is sure to change. Instead, they’ve COMPLETELY ignored it.

They don't consider it important.
Why would one expect the writers to write the story you want them to? It’s up to us to accept that they write. If you didn’t like the lack of attention paid to a certan story, that’s fine… but I can’t say it’s fair for you to say they “told the story wrong”.

I can understand that. It just seems like the two biggest story arcs of the show so far have been the pregnancies and everything else is minimal. It’s frustrating. Also, making Artie to be a superficial prick was a letdown. His episode was decent until he was like “olololo u faked it we can’t hook up now”

We can be comfortable signing low upside, low risk guys for $2 million a year all we want but just once it’d be awesome to toss $6 million at a guy with super high upside. I realize we did this with the drafting and signing of Matzek but I mean a proven MLB performer.

A house in Knoxville exploded at 3:15 AM
It was about 200 yards from my best friend’s pad. Crazy stuff out there.
Figured I would share.
A little rudeness and disrespect can elevate a meaningless interaction to a battle of wills and add drama to an otherwise dull day.

Horrifying.
What caused the explosion?
by Greg Stanwood on Dec 9, 2009 11:12 PM MST up reply actions
Gas explosion.
Apparently it was a huge explosion because 60 yards in all directions of the house is just rubble. The house is totally gone. I haven’t checked on the story since I went to bed this morning. I’ll go check it.

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!
