Around SBN: My First Fight: Diego Sanchez

Monday Rockpile: September Starts Now (Or In A Couple Of Days, But You Know. . . )

Come to think of it, RMN probably can't cover today's Rockpile either. I've got several other assignments I'm working on so just a bunch of links for you today.

Rockies earn rare series win against Dodgers - The Denver Post
There was a relentless quality to the Rockies' 10-5 victory Sunday. They kept punching the Los Angeles Dodgers with big hits at Coors Field.

Armstrong: Rockies players should rent, not buy - The Denver Post
Yeah, yeah, I know. It's a Monday morning. You're trying to clear your head and jump-start the week. The last thing you want to think about is the notion of watching the Rockies on the road.

Ejection closes Ramirez's time with Dodgers - The Denver Post
A long way from Mannywood, from the bright lights of Los Angeles, from the $25 souvenir wigs, Manny Ramirez's star-crossed tenure with the Dodgers ended Sunday.

Fowler sets Rockies record with 12th triple of season - The Denver Post
At 6-feet-5, Dexter Fowler chews up real estate with his long legs. Those strides ran him straight into the record book as he set a Rockies season record with 12 triples.

Reviewing the Top Prospects: NL West - Fangraphs.com

Christian Friedrich is still listed as the best for Colorado. Marc Hulet cites Friedrich's off season, with the injury and the hittability. His stock is rated as Even. In fact, aside from Buster Posey whose stock is rated as up, Simon Castro, Dee Gordon, and Jarrod Parker are all listed as even as well. I guess Tommy John surgery is very successful, but I can't help but think this should DROP Parker's stock. Dee Gordon (Tom Gordon's son, if you didn't realize - FLASH) and Simon Castro are experiencing growing pains as they proceed through the minors, but their major skills (Gordon's speed and Castro's control) remain intact, and much like Friedrich, they'll just need to polish their games if they want to see Major League success.

In dog days, Helton heating up for Rox - MLB.com

Amongst other beat notes, Joey Nowak touches on Helton's resurgence. Here's what I saw that really caught my eye:

On Saturday, he hit a solo homer to mark the first time he's gone yard in back-to-back games since Aug. 30-Sept. 1 last year.

Weeeeeird.

Helton is posting a .306/.393/.569 line in August, along with 4 dingers. and a .962 OPS.

He got thrown out on an 0-1 pitch with the bases loaded

In baseball term’s, that’s pretty much a crime. Yeah, the pitch missed the zone. So what. You’re up to bat in a crucial spot in the game, as a slugger with a chance to be a hero. And you’re out of the box like a whiny little $%@#* in one pitch.

There never was a deal in the works, because all the Dodgers’ ownership ever wanted there was to get rid of the contract. The Sox were basically begging the Dodgers to take a player, but the Dodgers weren’t biting. They wanted rid of the $4m post haste. The Sox wanted Manny enough to take him in any circumstance, but the Dodgers weren’t taking any of the pay obligation back.

And Jayson Stark was wrong

Just like you and all the other Dodgers fans at TBLA were so sure I was wrong all weekend when I said the Sox would have him on a waiver claim and not a trade.

It was a bluff, the Dodgers were never interested in a prospect, and as usual, the national reporters got played. Just like Dodgers fans.

by Mondogarage on Aug 30, 2010 1:45 PM MDT up reply actions  

It looks like the Dodgers were interested in prospects after all

but it’s still a situation where their leverage was fake, not real, and they weren’t likely to get what they were after.

by Rox Girl on Aug 30, 2010 2:37 PM MDT up reply actions  

They were interested in prospects, but not interested in carrying *any* of the salary

So when the Sox offered a grade C prospect, to try to hornswoggle the Dodgers into carrying some Manny Money, and the Dodgers balked, there was never any serious chance at a trade.

But no, for three days, everyone insisted I was batturd crazy for saying the Dodgers would just let Manny walk.

by Mondogarage on Aug 30, 2010 3:06 PM MDT up reply actions  

There was never a deal in the works.

No writer in Chicago ever indicated anyone from the White Sox camp ever did anything more than put the claim in and in fact, that’s all they’ve indicated happened. From the other side it was all spin spin spin by the Dodgers FO about possible deals and about not giving him up while they’re six plus games out of the playoffs, and all of the LA writers and a few national media types took it for fact, but the info was all one sided.

The Dodgers rejected the White Sox’s offer and simply let Ramirez go on a waiver claim.

raygu

www.sbnation.com

by Ray Guilfoyle on Aug 30, 2010 1:46 PM MDT up reply actions  

Stark's saving face because he's one of the writers that bought into the Dodgers serious about contending story

You can follow the story just from the Tweets of these reporters.

The White Sox claimed Ramirez. The Dodgers started that whole “we aren’t going to just give him away” spin. With two nationally prominent media members so the news would get to Chicago fast. The, White Sox did nothing. The Dodgers kept up the whole “we’re still pretending to be competitive” routine. The White Sox did nothing. Finally on Sunday the Dodgers said, look, if you want Manny sooner, just offer us something.

White Sox came back with “we’ll give you a single minor league player, but you’ve got to give us money.” This, by the way, is completely different from your “Colletti holds all the cards” scenario, as Williams was clearly holding the leverage. Since the Dodgers were really just dumping the entire salary in the first place and getting a return was never more than a secondary objective, Colletti rejects the “discussed” trades, and can go back to LA press and Stark and say a deal just never worked out.

If they were really ever anywhere close to a legitimate trade, Manny would still be a Dodger right now as the teams tried to bridge a gap. But they weren’t, and reports that they were are as false a front as the reports that it was more than just a salary dump in the first place.

by Rox Girl on Aug 30, 2010 2:16 PM MDT up reply actions  

And Nightnegale's latest tweets indicate I'm wrong, in part of my above

http://twitter.com/BNightengale/status/22553631097

Still looks to me like the White Sox held all the cards, though, and it was the Dodgers that were desperate.

by Rox Girl on Aug 30, 2010 2:33 PM MDT up reply actions  

The Dodgers were desperate to rid themselves of the salary

The only way they’d get anything back for him was if Kenny Williams was truly insane, and not just borderline crazy.

they were looking for a prospect…..there were rumors of Manny going to the Sox before the July 31st deadline.
Couple questions-how else should Ned have played it? Should he have gone to the media and said “we are out of it, we will deal Manny, and more than likely just dump his salary on the Sox.”? C’mon….he wouldn;t be doing his job if he didn’t.
How were the LAD desperate when the White Sox were willing to take on Manny;s $3.8mm salary for a month of service? Spin, spin spin

Roster moves today

Barmes is back, so a roster move needs to be made. Ringolsby suggests the most sensible move, and I agree, is optioning Morales. That would either result in a short pen for two days, or Rogers being moved to the bullpen and Ubaldo/Chacin moved up in the rotation to pitch in the last two games agains tthe Giants

by Andrew T. Fisher on Aug 30, 2010 9:30 AM MDT reply actions  

I couldn't disagree with moving up Ubaldo and Chacin more

The last thing we need to be doing right now is a) pitching Uball on short rest after 120-odd pitches, and b) pitching our potential future ace on short rest.

Option Morales and go with the short pen is the only reasonable answer.

Another option

Option Morales, then see how deep DLR goes tonight. If he can go 7, we should be able to afford the risk of having a short pen Tuesday with Ubaldo going Wednesday with Sept callups at his back. Then Rogers can start tomorrow. If DLR implodes tonight, the rotation could be pushed up with Rogers in long relief.

by Andrew T. Fisher on Aug 30, 2010 9:59 AM MDT up reply actions  

Pushing up the rotation right now is a BAD BAD idea in any circumstance

Uball was overworked in his last start. Pitching him on four days rest now would be bordering on criminal negligence here.

Option Morales, see how deep DLR goes, etc., etc. Sure. But if DLR implodes tonight, and we use Rogers in long relief, we call up an emergency starter for tomorrow.

Taking things out of context to show MLB schedule maker favors Padres:

From Fanhouse:

“It is nice here,” said MLB schedule-maker Katy Feeney, who sat in San Diego’s home dugout before the series opener. “But I think the fans in Philadelphia would want to see their team at home.”

And we wonder why the Padres have had it so easy this year…

It really puts Chacin's season in context

He was never expected to be a high-K guy, and he’s been doing it as a MLB rookie. His best year in K% was in MOdesto in 2008, where he K’d 23.5%. He’s at 25.3% this year at the MLB level and was at 27.1% at the MLB level last year. Unreal.

plummet's a strong word, care to specify a range you're saying it will fall to?

I’m not convinced it does, at least not below 23%. He’s taken his command of the offspeed stuff up a few notches from when I saw him in Asheville. Just a really smart pitcher and he’s got underrated stuff.

by Rox Girl on Aug 30, 2010 11:30 AM MDT up reply actions  

I wouldn't mind it dropping some actually

He’s was scouted to be a ground baller anyways. That would help his pitch count drop some. It is great to know he can pitch to contact (the dreaded expression) as well as go get the K when needed!

Frank's winning thus far, apparently

It’s kind of hard to say from a Rockies fan perspective, but I think given how terrible their ownership has been for the Dodgers, anything that keeps the franchise in either of their hands is a win.

It's not really that cut/dried and predictable

It really all stems on the authenticity of the claimed post-marital property agreements. If the judge is convinced that one giving Jamie half ownership is valid, then it’s all over. Community Property.

Really, this can go either way, and the appeals will take years under any scenario. I’m thinking this keeps Dodgers ownership in limbo until the end of 2012….

He may still have to sell the team.

He may be required to pay Jamie half of the increased value since the document was signed. This would be roughly 80-120 mil which he doesn’t have. I will be very surprised if the team is not sold in the next 2-3 years.

pitching matchups for this week (according to ESPN)

Monday: JDLR vs Sanches
Tuesday: Rogers vs Bumgarner
Wednesday: Ubaldo vs Lincecum
Thursday: Cook vs Blanton
Friday: Hammel vs Garland
Saturday: JDLR vs Richard
Sunday: Rogers vs Leblanc

I don’t know what the plan is for Chacin and Rogers. Does anyone know if Chacin is going to take Rogers place? Anyway, it doesn’t looked like we’re over matched in any of the games except the Rogers games if he looks like he did in his last start instead of how he pitched in AZ.

Did anyone notice that San Diego didn't help us with the wild card...

by not even winning one game against Philly this weekend? They do awesome all season and then they get swept against our biggest hurdle. Unless they plan on losing 10 more in a row, I don’t take kindly to that.

San Diego is our biggest hurdle...

Don’t overlook the good that’s come of this in that it’s re-opened a possible NL West division run for us and a potential second path to the playoffs. Philadelphia still has a tough road in the next four games against LA and us and the Phillies already did us a favor last week by getting swept by the Astros.

Wow. I think that's a very treatable condition

My grandfather died of it, but that was in 1940, and he and my grandmother were told at the time that there was an experimental drug called penicillin that wasn’t available yet, but would treat it when it was. 70 years later I have to think they have ways of treating the condition. Most like Keli just didn’t seek treatment, thinking he was big, strong and healthy enough to beat it on his own. I can’t imagine how terrible he must have felt by the end, though.

Fantastic

I found out today that I am physically unfit to preform the job which I have worked for two years. Apparently, I can not safely lift 30lb more than we ever see in the loading dock, which is usually a 90lb case of beef. And this is most likely because of my continuing knee problems, which I injured on the job due to an unsafe work environment. Sweet.

That really stinks

Have you considered showing them a video of Pablo Sandoval and explaining to them that THAT is what a person physcially unfit to perform their job really looks like?

We're trying to win a (#)(*@$%#)@#&$#)^ argument here!!!!

Bazinga!!

Why bother with video

I’ll just set up a cake under a cage with a stick holding it up. No better proof than a real life Pablo.

Wow, mkorpal. I am really sorry to hear this news.

That really sucks. Can they offer you a position elsewhere in the company?

Via Renck
No Tulo in lineup

The 2010 Rockies are done!!!!! Do you hear me Rockies? You have NO SHOT at making the postseason. In fact I guarantee you will not make the postseason. (Okay, now that I have removed all expectations go out and make me eat these words)

Well, clearly having CarGo playing two positions is the solution.

You know the Bay Area does have a LOT of biotech companies. I think they cloned him.

Stewart to the DL is the roster move.

Barmes back and activated.

I hate this, defensively. Prolly going to see a LOT of Mora the next couple weeks.

That said, Melvin’s been actually quite a bit steadier than Ian. He’s just not going to make all the plays, and so much for hoping for dingers.

not as punny as SDcat00

I have no problem with Mora at 3B.

I have no problem with him defensively...

…though he can’t make the leaping line drive catches Stewie can make.

But this is going to hurt our power game a good deal.

The upshot is, probably less strikeouts…..

Renck says

Tracy said that are flip-flopping Chacin and Cook. Chacin will pitch Thursday vs. Phils and Cook will go against Pads.

That woul be a much better set up.....

considering Cook always get knocked around by the Phills and starting in the safety confines of Petco would be a better place to start
