Spring Training Game #10: Clint Hurdle vs. the Rockies

in Rockies Game Threads
Email
PrintOkay, not really, but we have to keep the drama for meaningless games somehow. Actually, these two teams have made these familiarity storylines a running theme in their Cactus League contests the last couple of years, as Jim Tracy's son Chad hit a big home run for the Rangers in one of last year's contests.
The Rockies lineup:
- Dexter Fowler CF
- Mike Paulk 1B
- Melvin Mora 2B
- Brad Hawpe RF
- Chris Iannetta C
- Ian Stewart 3B
- Ryan Spilborghs LF
- Omar Quintanilla SS
- Aaron Cook P

Oooh Hawpe's starting toda
Interested in how he looks, seeing as Seth Smith has been total awesome so far.
by CentralCaliRox on Mar 11, 2010 11:58 AM MST reply actions
I'm curious to see Rox Girl's analysis of Hawpe.
She said that it would prove that everybody was wrong about him. I’ve been on the Smith bandwagon with everybody else, but I would switch allegiance if she can show that Hawpe is better for the team.
Actually, I wouldn't be expecting much on that front.
I think my main thesis is that having both Hawpe plus Smith is still better for the team than having just one of them. After that, it gets political in terms of who starts, and it seems the team has calculated that the trade off is worth the improvement Smith brings defensively. I’m going to explore why they feel that way, and what evidence there is to back them up.
Ah yes, I remember a similar discussion a little while ago.
I was on the side saying that the team would be better off by trading Hawpe to fill other holes, and you argued that the drop in performance from the bench would offset any gains from upgrading elsewhere. (I hope I haven’t spoiled your next article.)
Oh no, your argument's one of the major ones I do have to address.
I either have to do that by showing that removing Hawpe (and his salary) won’t guarantee that these holes get filled, possibly leaving the team in as bad or worse condition than before with some added damage to the team’s goodwill with the players, and second, that this bad scenario would be a more likely outcome than trading Hawpe and adding sufficient value to other positions. Plus, I have to convince you guys that even if the likelihood of a bad outcome is smaller, if there’s sufficient risk of that bad scenario, it would behoove the team to stay conservative (meaning keeping Hawpe) given their current contending position. Again, this is going to be a tricky sell, I have to get some idea of the numbers we’re talking about to back my position up, and perhaps to thoroughly convince myself of it as well. I do think it’s a lot more complex an issue than Jeff and Andrew have suggested.
Well, in your defense,
there aren’t a whole lot of places that stand out as needing improvement. I think the most obvious one is second base, but if you upgrade over Barmes’ bat, you also have to consider the effect on defense. Now that Felipe Lopez has signed, I just don’t see many options for improving at second (and I’m not entirely sure about his defense). I think that would have to play into your argument as well. For example, trading Hawpe for a starter wouldn’t realistically improve the team at this point, unless Francis can’t pitch.
oops, forgot to complete my thought on the second approach to this argument, which actually might be similar to the first
which I think you just kind of did yourself that would be that filling these holes internally would do just about as well as any external options, or at least well enough to justify keeping the extra outfielder.
That photo of Hurdle still cracks me up.
Also, maybe Paulk should give another position a chance after today’s news, heh.

But we ended up winning anyway.

I am so so so so so so happy today.
I can’t stop grinning like a damned fool.
Iron Maiden? Excellent!
I just told my wife about Helton's extension.
Being from Tennessee herself, she said that he’s obviously such a team player because of his home state.
I was in meetings all morning
So I just heard the news about Todd. I am loving it. So glad he well retire wearing purple pin-stripes.
What if the hokey pokey is what it is all about after all????
It would have been nice
if Helton were playing today. And KOA was airing the game. And it was the World Series and we were up 3 games to 0.
All in good time....

Wow.
It seems like most teams don’t bring their entire A lineup on the road trip to Tuscon.
its been a hot topic of ST conversation for the past couple of years
Especially with The White Sox moving from Tucson to Phoenix…Omar was one of the most outspoken about teams sending their B or C squat down to Tucson, of course. And then last year, when the role reversed, he sent much of his B team down…
But this is a major reason we will be moving up there next year…Its too bad really Because the people on Tuscon lose all that revenue and the only municipalities that get it now are in the Phoenix area. and I personally like Tuscon 10 times better than Phoenix because as a city it is like on spring break all the time….Laid back and affordable.
But evidently early in ST teams want to get work outta their starters, I think as ST progresses however, the phoenix teams that come down will send the Rooks.

Omar?
Maybe you mean Ozzie. The only Omar I can think of is Minaya, and the Mets are in the Grapefruit league.
I have relatives in Tuscon, and I was hoping to go to ST one of these years now that I have a job with actual money. My favorite AL team is the White Sox, so I was bummed when they moved to the Phoenix area.
yeah sorry, I was speaking to one of my students named omar
And I apologize to you Ozzie
Whats that you called me? calm down Ozzie, I did not mean it that way, no, I dont want to go outside

I felt that way at the time, but considering his flaws, letting him go off waivers wasn't really that big a deal in the end.
I AM, however, still angry about the Juan Morillo situation, which I think was handled completely wrong.

Sorry, I'm still confused. It sounds like you're arguing a different statement that I am making.
Here, let me try it this way: saying he’s part of the family, part of the team, etc, is not an answer for my interpretation. it’s weird to me because it will be a player who will not BE on the team when we are watching games. It’s like how I felt when the Fuentes commercials or the Hirsh commercials came up when they were on the DL. They’re advertising a player we won’t see.

but who cares about Jason Hirsh?
all Rockies fans have a certain amount of love for EY2 solely because of his dad. He is the first Rockie Kid to come up through the ranks and we are all proud of him.
I personally don’t find it odd that a minor league player is in the major league ads solely because it is EY2. Anyone else and I think you have a very strong argument.
Iron Maiden? Excellent!
"I personally don’t find it odd that a minor league player is in the major league ads solely because it is EY2."
But see, you ARE missing my point. It doesn’t matter to me that its EY2. or that its a minor leauge player. Just a player who won’t be on the team! And I;;m not saying this has to matter to anyone else. It’s just going to be weird for me. I;m going to see the commercial and think “oh, there’s EY2. I wonder how he’s doing down in the minors”, as opposed to everyone else, who I’ll get to see in 30 seconds after the commercial break is over.

If that's the case, that's different than how they were done before.

I don't know for sure.
It just seems like the clubhouse is too big/nice for ST. And at the end of the EY Jr one that’s got to be the tunnels under Coors.
And I could have sworn the Dinger tipping one was Coors. But I haven’t gone back to see it again.
I know those two years were filmed at ST because the interviewed players were often "headed off to film the commercials"

Great day for the Helton news to break.
Mentally, I’ve spotted the Rox 17 runs!
Ignorance of the American League is a sign of good moral character.
Look out Dodgers...Purple objects in mirror are closer than they appear.
17 imaginary runs may not be enough today.

A lot of places actually
I’ll be spending Sat-Sun in NYC with Squeaky. We leave for Asheville on Monday and spend 3 days there. Get back to NY on Thursday, just in time for me to blast out of there on 6AM Friday morning on my way back home. My school is awesome and gives us two weeks off, so I’ll be spending March 19-28 in the 303, helping my parents move down the hill (they live in Evergreen, but have to downsize to an apt in Belmar). it’ll basically be saying goodbye to my childhood and will be pretty bittersweet, in a (mostly) good way. I’m back at school on March 29.

My mom was making beanie weenies for some party we were going to – I don’t think it was even a Rockies event. Anyway, she went to the store to get grape jelly, and found Todd Helton brand jelly.

point well taken though about him being an official Colorado Sports legend

Elway's never been more than a self-important narcissistic whiner
Talent notwithstanding.
It’s those characteristics themselves which led to he and his dad holding the Colts hostage after his draft. The dude’s a zero, in my book.

Espcially with the restructure
Why would any team bring on a guy to play for a year or two and then they have to pay him through 2023. Helton knew that full well when he signed the deal. He knew this made is 99% sure he would be a Rocky forever. I would say 100% but weird things happen. You hear all the time about how guys want to stay were they are, Todd prooved it.

He was in our minor league system last year, reliever/spot starter at AAA.
He was last in the majors in 2004.

Not at all a prospect.
He’d be a candidate for callup if we had a slew of injuries (Joel Peralta was called up in favor of Moss last year when this happened). other than that, he’s minor league filler. I’m not sure why he was brought up from minor league camp today. We have enough pitchers on roster and NRI to fill in all the spots.

that would be a pretty sweet job actually
watch a ton of baseball and pay really close attention. That would be a really good excuse to not let your wife give you things to do during the game.
I applied for the job two years ago.
In ST, they don’t have GameDay operators. Whenever somebody is playing along at all, like today, they were probably just asked to by somebody in the official score team, or are just doing it for fun. I dunno. But that’s why gameDay isn’t officially advertised during ST.

Say, where do the gameday links come from anyway?
I can’t find them on my own.
That's the point I was trying to make.
GameDay isn’t official during ST, which is why the links aren’t offered anywhere directly. But the GameDay application plugs right into the official scoreroom, so as long as that’s being updated which it is for the box score), you can get GameDay to run a pseudo-version of itself to follow the game. As soon as you get into one GameDay (by knowing the proper link), you can fill in the blanks for every game.

Chad Tracy has made an appearance.
And doubled off Morales. Hopefully the other Chad Tracy doesn’t have that much success against us this year.
Well, at least we finally have him out of the division with Chicago.
He’s on a minor league contract, I think. Will he even make their team?

Jimmy Gobble got hurt.
