Tuesday Rockpile: Injuries Not Just an Excuse for Rockies

Last night, the San Francisco Giants eliminated the Atlanta Braves and moved on to the National League Championship Series. While the Giants have had their share of disabled list trips, the days lost to injury roster-wide have not hurt them. In fact, those who spent time on the DL were most often fringe roster players.
- Giants who have spent 30+ days on the DL in 2010: Freddy Sanchez (51), Mark DeRosa (139), Ryan Rohlinger (31), Todd Wellemeyer (55), Emmanuel Burriss (181), Dan Runzler (54).
Burriss and Rohlinger were fringe bench infielders. DeRosa and Runzler figured to be big parts but were filled with better parts in Pat Burrell and Javier Lopez. Wellemeyer was dead weight and had no chance of seeing the rotation anyway with Madison Bumgarner's emergence. Sanchez is a decent offensive threat, but Juan Uribe was able to slide in seamlessly with Edgar Renteria playing short. While some credit should go to Brian Sabean for the Burrell/Lopez acquisitions, the fact remains that no loss to injury was too difficult to cover up with relative ease.
The big point: notice the current 5-man rotation was completely untouched. Tim Lincecum, Matt Cain, Barry Zito, Jonathan Sanchez and Madison Bumgarner combined for exactly zero days spent on the DL. Let's compare to the Rockies:
- Rockies who have spent 30+ days on the DL in 2010: Jeff Francis (72), Huston Street (78), Jorge de la Rosa (74), Taylor Buchholz (110), Troy Tulowitzki (39), Matt Daley (87), Aaron Cook (56), Greg Reynolds (181), Manuel Corpas (38), Eric Young Jr (128).
Additionally, Franklin Morales missed 27 days, Todd Helton missed 29 days and Ian Stewart missed 28 days. Of the five pitchers Dan O'Dowd planned on being in his rotation for 2010, three missed almost two months due to injury. Jason Hammel also missed 18 days. The closer was lost for two and a half months. When Clint Barmes struggled, Plan B was on the DL with a broken leg. Arguably the biggest offensive threat in purple pinstripes missed significant time.
It is really hard to compete with that rash of injuries. Jeff Zimmerman at Fangraphs admirably sorted through all MLB transaction dates to compile this spreadsheet of lost time for ever MLB time. In his story at Fangraphs, the Rockies rank 5th in total days lost to the disabled list, behind Oakland, Washington, Toronto and Boston and 7th in total trips to the DL with 18. While it is padded to some degree with Buchholz and Reynolds, the list above sheds light on some integral names that missed significant time.
While some may want to scrutinize the training staff, the truth is injuries are almost entirely luck driven. 2010 was not the Rockies' year. In list of the teams most ravaged by injuries by days, only the Braves and Rangers made the playoffs among the top 17. The Rays, Yankees and Phillies were all among the most fortunate top 8.
Colorado may have finished eight games out of the playoff picture, but with a healthy roster, that deficit before the season-ending collapse may not have been a deficit at all. I mean it when I say - better luck next year.
Take the jump for some solid prospect news.
Texas League (AA) Stars
In 2005, the Tulsa Drillers placed only one Rockie farmhand on Baseball America's top 20 Texas League Prospect list. That would be Ubaldo Jimenez, who came in 18th. Colorado showed significantly better in 2010, placing four players ahead of that 18 slot in BA's rankings, released yesterday.
BaseballAmerica.com: Prospects: Rankings: League Top 20 Prospects: Texas League Top 20 Prospects
The Royals dominated the league, placing three first round or supplemental picks from 2007 and 2008 in the league's top three spots (Mike Moustakas, Eric Hosmer, Mike Montgomery). Next? Rockies' catcher Wilin Rosario. Among the highlights on Rosario if you don't have a BA subscription:
Rosario fits the physical prototype of a catcher, and his bat looks nearly big league-ready. He can turn around any fastball and showed a better feel for offspeed stuff this season, learning what good breaking balls look like and what to do with them. He has power to all fields and could hit 20-30 homers a season if he taps fully into his strength...He also has all the tools on defense
That should be very encouraging to Rockies fans. Before this season, a fair comp for Rosario was Miguel Olivo. A powerful, athletic catcher with terrible defense and worse plate discipline. If he's learning to hit offspeed pitches at 21, his ceiling is much higher than Olivo, potentially making him an All-Star level bat.
Christian Friedrich ranked tenth after a disappointing and injury-plagued year, and Rex Brothers ranked 15th. On Brothers:
Brothers is a stocky, aggressive pitcher who loves to go after hitters with his power arsenal. His fastball peaks at 97 mph, though he pitches more often around 95, and it shows good movement. His hard slider is also tough for hitters to square up. He doesn't use his changeup much and shouldn't really need it. He...should find a role in the Colorado (pen) next season.
Last was Charles Blackmon, the 24-year-old lefty outfielder who ranked 17th. Think of Blackmon as Seth Smith v2.
Steve Foster chimed in on the Texas League rankings yesterday for Inside the Rockies.

Joe Garagiola Jr., baseball's senior VP of baseball operations who's at the series, told Eavesdrops he'll address the Rockies' humidor issue at the GM meetings in November. After a late-season call from the Giants, Garagiola ordered umpires to have more say on the humidor balls' chain of custody. More work needs to be done, Garagiola agrees, because of the "perception" by other teams the Rockies could manipulate the process, which still isn't foolproof.

Blackmon's speed tool is a bit better than Smith's,
and his L/R splits don’t seem to be quite as drastic. But, hopefully we’ll get to see how those translate at the big league level in the next year or two. I hope he can continue to improve on (or at least hold steady on) what looks to be excellent contact skills (as well as a keen eye at the plate).

I would assume he starts the year in AAA.
If he hits well in AAA and Smith/Spilborghs/Dexter are struggling, maybe he gets a call mid-year. He is starting to creep up there in age. I hope we don’t waste his most productive years toiling in the minors because Jim Tracy wanted a seasoned veteran/great clubhouse guy like Jay Payton on the MLB roster…

its a pretty crude comp
Where it fits: lefty outfielder with decent speed and defense, can play cf, is a solid fourth OF candidate with a shot at starting and a ceiling around 25 HR
Where it doesn’t fit: you noted.

I've been totally unimpressed with Smith's defense
so I’d give Blackmon an edge there.
In the outfield, Smith reminds me a lot of Brad Hawpe, without as good an arm.
Mediocrity sucks
Smith and Spilborghs both performed much worse than we've come to expect from them this past season
Smith was quietly average to slightly above average prior to this year. I would defnitely argue that Smith is far better than Hawpe, though not as good as Blackmon

Check out Jeff's series on the Fall 2010 PuRP rankings...
it has all of that info – for Rosario and the other 29 top prospects (as voted by the community) in the Rockies organization. For the record, Jeff has Rosario as a late-2012 callup – which is very reasonable, given his injury.

Does anyone think Brothers will make the big league club next year?
Isn’t that a jump that the Rockies don’t usually make with their pitchers? I know Dexter did it in 2008, and I think Frincis might have a while back, but that’s not their usual progression path.
Maybe a mid season call-up, but I doubt coming out of ST.
Not enough room out of the gate.

My thought is that he'll compete for a spot in Spring Training but will be assigned to AAA, at least at first.
I could definitely foresee him being an injury call-up if Morales or M. Reynolds were to go down. Barring that, it might be September before we see him.

Is he doing anything this offseason?
Winter ball or anything? The guy really needs to just get reps in to improve his control. His stuff is there, he just has no clue where it’s going, and the only way that’s going to get better are through innings pitched (if it ever gets better at all)

I don't want to harp on management too much,
but yo, they really, really fell for it big time. I’m guilty of it too. He came up, and got totally lucky in 2007. Everyone ignored the fact that he didn’t have control at AA, and didn’t have any control in the majors. Then when he didn’t have control the next season, they decided he should be put in the bullpen which would do two things 1. allow us to hide his control issues and 2. not really give him a chance to work on his control issues.
I remember there was a cool article at baseball-intellect.com a while back where they examined the differences he displayed in mechanics from when he was pitching at the futures game (and was awesome) vs. when he was pitching with the Rockies (and was walking everyone)…

Greg Reynolds was only on the DL until June, not all year.
Though I wouldn’t say ity’s a big deal because he wouldn’t have been on the team anyway

Eff what other teams' "perceptions" are about the humidor.
It’s absolutely galling to me that this is still an issue. Because the Rockies got better, dramatically better, through a better farm system, improved pitching and better play and we are scaring the rest of the NL West, humidor will be discussed for all time. And if the Rockies continue to play as they have been or even better, will the teams be questioning the umpires integrity’ too? Maybe the league will just have to hire a permanent ball sitter who is beyond reproach. Is Jesus Christ available?

I doubt that Garagiola, Jr. is buying into too many of those concerns
considering the fact that he’s spent most of his baseball life closely tied to a team that is putting in a humidor next year themselves.
If they want to tighten the chain of custody, fine. But the wailing and gnashing of teeth coming from SF is still no less pathetic, since not one person has yet demonstrated how the umpires not putting the balls in the ball bag actually translates into cheating on the field. Hell, even their own players can’t figure out what a “juiced” ball would even feel like, but they still bitch about it.
I am officially rooting for Halladay, Oswalt and Hamels to put up back to back to back no hitters, then the Phillies to close out the sweep in SF with a 20-0 rout. Every Phillies starter puts a ball into the Cove, just for good measure…

As mentioned above about the humidor
the biggest problem I have with the whole humidor issue is that MLB, which approved the humi in the first place, hasn’t come out and told the teams to STFU about it. The fact that they are considering putting one in every park to maintain the RH to a single spec shows they understand what it will do.
Why have they allowed this to get out of control?
As far as the Gints are concerned, they wanted to use it to get into the Rockies heads… But when Timmy was muttering to himself out on the mound, it shows that it back-fired on the Gints.

Hey, Ian, tweet all you want about whatever you want. It’s the off-season. No one gives a flying rip. If you come back next spring pounding the ball and living up to your (abundant) potential, no one will be happier for you than I, whether you’re tweeting about baseball or not.
But if you underperform (again), don’t be surprised if people scrutinize you, trying to figure out why… and that includes what you tweet about. You’re a public figure and you should expect it.

It looks like Price's right foot might have come off the bag for a moment
I played it back and it’s close. The throw was certainly there in time but if that foot was off the bag it was the right call.
I would love to see a replay from the other angle

you mean Vladdy scoring from 2nd
which wouldn’t have been possible without the dbl play possibility
Yes
Vlad was certainly safe at home assuming the right call was made at first.

I think they are the worst fans in baseball (in that regard anyway)

Well, it's not as if 90% of them have ever even attended a game in 2010 prior to tonight
So let's just win 12 more games next year, mmmkay?
Will the Giants complain about the non-humidor balls in Citizens Bank Ballpark when they lose there, too?
TWINS FOR THE WINS, I guess!

He looked crushed. I guess he and Tulo can commisserate now.

They are remarkably similar
At least Tulo’s team’s immediate future looks brighter than Longoria’s

They promised to come out as soon as the Rays filled their stadium
Now that the Rays “fans” bailed mid-game, the miners have decided to stay down a few days longer.

So I was listening to New York radio today and the host said that he wanted the Yankees to play Tampa
Not because he thought the Yankees had a better chance of beating Tampa but because he had to cover the series and he HATES going to Texas.
I’m glad he’s gonna have make a trip DEEP INTO THE HEART OF TEXAS.

My friend
expects the Yankees to win the series 4-2, with the two losses being both Cliff Lee starts. Can’t really disagree with that. If the Yankees are smart, they’ll start Sabathia the second game and Burnett the first…
