Congratulations to the Detroit Tigers, who knocked off the New York Yankees in five games. Not surprisingly, Alex Rodriguez stepped up to the plate twice in extremely high-leverage situations and completely blew it both times. Our good friend Russ, who "doesn't understand all of the Yankees schadenfreude," is not pleased. To the links...
Rockies’ Stewart unable to participate in instructs | On the Rox — Colorado Rockies news — Denver Post
The Rockies had planned to have Ian Stewart play in the Arizona Instructional League, but it ends in a week and Stewart's injured wrist (clearly caused by tweeting/video games) isn't up to par, so he'll sit out and continue to rehab in hopes of playing in the Mexican Winter League. Troy Renck also mentions other names that could fill in the second and third base holes. Interesting stuff there.
Casper mayor on Casper Ghosts: We want an answer on team's plans
Zack Creglow with the Casper Star-Tribune informs us that Casper mayor Paul Bertoglio is getting a little irritated about the lack of discussion between city representatives and the Rockies ownership. As Dick Monfort mentioned in his fanmail response that was posted yesterday, talks are ongoing with Casper and Grand Junction about where Colorado's rookie league team will play going forward. However, this makes it sound like one of those parties is being left out of the talks entirely. It's important to note that if the Ghosts leave Casper, the Rockies will have to pay a $200,000 buyout.

I don't know if it was discussed yesterday
but the White Sox picked a manager, and it wasn’t Martinez.
I have a strange feeling Ventura might be getting the last laugh.
Jason Hammel : Feared Slugger was /2011'd
BigGiantHead of the Ubaldo Lover's Club;OG Thugget Loyalist #4, QPU Emeritus, Proud member PR Gynocracy
Well. The thing is
even if he is good. The White Sox are not in a good position right now. Their farm is bad. Their position players are aging. Their pitching is unproven. They’re locked in some really bad contracts.
Although I believe that a manger has minimal influence on wins and losses, I don’t think that it is so minimal that you can take someone with no experience at managing people and put them in that role.
In the end, the truth of it is that Kenny Williams wanted a puppet, and he now has a puppet. Venture is going to have to defer to Cooper or Williams or whomever because he does;t have experience. This could work out for them in that respect. But I’m not sure I trust Williams.
If I were going to do this,
I might have made Cooper the manager and Ventura the bench coach with added responsibilities so that Cooper had time to continue to work with the pitchers. Then you could have really gauged what Ventura could do. This is just a toss of the dice. Unless, of course, Williams is really looking at this as his chance to control the manager. In which case, we’ll see how that works out.
I wouldn't do anything to take away from Coopers work with the pitchers.
The man is a genius. He’s better than Dac. Ventura might be OK; it sounds like Williams was planning to pick him all along. They’ve got a fetish for former White Sox players.
Yeah.
Ventura will know to watch out if Frank Thomas is brought in as a special assistant to somebody.

The Trade Prado movement has some legs.
Some days, I feel like I’ve accidentally entered the Church of Tulowitzki on Baseball Easter.
SB Nation Denver | On Twitter | Random Music Writings
I was really talking about Prado in the context of a trade for Heyward.
But much of his points of why they shouldn’t trade him are my points.
There is no better option in the Braves’ system or on their roster for left field, so keeping him there is obviously a possibility.
A problem with trading him is the hole left at third base the following year, and the cost of acquiring a new left fielder for this season and potentially more seasons afterward.
An outfielder could be acquired, which would move him to a super-utility role and allow him to still start roughly 130+ games backing up third base, second base, first base, and left field.
That being said, it’s possible. It particularly makes sense in the absence of Heyward. There was no way we were going to get both Heyward and Prado. Then, they would be emptying out their outfield for only one replacement.
The price would be pretty high: Smith, and arm, a prospect. I don’t know if we would do it. I’d put the chances as slightly better than getting Headley, but that isn’t saying too much.

It brings up the questions:
What do we do with Prado when Arenado comes up? (First Base?)
What do we do in the OF with Smith gone?
Are we okay with another low-power bat?
How much better is he at 3B of Cuddyer? Stats seem to suggest that the difference is negligible over the same amount of appearances. Although Prado is younger.

Aside from his obvious down year? Absolutely.

SB Nation Denver | On Twitter | Random Music Writings
In three full seasons he has had one down year
it’s not like he has had a great track record.
Also his most recent year is similar to his Minor league numbers. I am not saying you can’t improve once you get to the majors but maybe looking at the whole book of work including minors and most recent down year would be prudent.
I think he is exactly the type the Rockies should avoid due to cost versus risk.
"Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step" Dr. MLK Jr.
Prado career wRC+ is 107, with a career OBP of .341 and is in the prime years of his career
Ellis career wRC+ of 96 with a .331 OBP and is at the tail end of his career.
Prior to last season, Prado had three straight years of 117 wRC+, which is better than every regular Rockie this season outside of CarGo, Tulo and Helton.
Outside of his down year (Ellis also had a down year), yes…he’s much better

The "prime of his career year" was his worst year so far so not sure how much that holds water
Prior to this season he had two and a half seasons not playing full time in one and a half of those season. So you aren’t quite telling it all. Three season of 117 wRC+ at 140 games+ per season would be awesome I agree. That’s not what happened though.
Question why are you comparing his prior “three” seasons to this seasons Rockies club. Why don’t you just compare this season to this season? You could say Prado’s 2011 season of wRC+ of 85 is worse than EY Jr’s wRC+ of 88 and Mark Ellis’s of 86.
I am sorry I just don’t see the significant gain by trading away good prospects for Prado.
"Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step" Dr. MLK Jr.
Both had down years for various reasons this year.
If you use 2010 as the measure, Ellis was 15th in wRC+among all 2B with more than 400 PAs with a 104.
Prado was 7th with a 118.
Prado will be 28 next season. Ellis will be turning 35.
Agreed age is a huge difference
"Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step" Dr. MLK Jr.
Also, quite frankly,
we don’t need Bettis or Adames. We need a 2B and 3B solution and a big bat. We also need some pitching, but we only need stopgaps there until Pomeranz, White, JDLR and Nicasio get rolling. I would be hesitant to trade for any arms when we can get a loaner on the FA market.
I really design the best trades.

the Rockies need “much better” players… not more “better than what they” have players.

Prado is a much better player than what we currently have.

think bigger Muzia. We want more than just Prado
Like Jason Heyward. We could trade Seth Smith, Wigginton, Chad Bettis, Tim Wheeler, and Wilin Rosario for Heyward and Prado
#PurpleSocks4GM!!
Not this year he wasn't
so how can you be so sure next season won’t be the same?
"Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step" Dr. MLK Jr.
Prado had a .266 BABIP this year
50 points below his career BABIP of .315. Looking at all of his numbers, 2011 is a total outlier, I totally expect him to return to the numbers he put up in 2009 and 2010, and if he’s in Coors Field, perhaps improve upon them.
Jason Giambi for player-manager in 2012!

2011 Rockies 2B: 65 wRC+
2011 Martin Prado: 85 wRC+
It’s tough to see our in house candidates improving on that number next year.
It’s easy to see a 27 year old with a career 117 wRC+ moving to Coors Field improving on that number.

The Rockies like any franchise need as much quality in the pipeline
cause even can’t miss will miss.
Sorry I just don’t see Prado v Ellis putting the Rockies much closer to a championship.
"Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step" Dr. MLK Jr.
That's because you have no idea what you're talking about.
Even at his 2011 numbers, a move to Prado is worth 2 wins. At 2010 numbers, it’s a 5 win change.
Five wins is a hack of a lot closer.
We’ve been talking about getting rid of the black holes at 2B, 3B, and LF for awhile now.
At his worst, Prado eliminates one of the three black holes and allows the excess production from Tulo and Cargo to show in the standings.

I think the idea is that this only works

I'm totally down with that Marlins home run thingie
I just love the absurdity of it. It’s as if the Marlins gave Tim & Eric a little corner of the ballpark to call their own.
Can they get Steve Brule to do the announcing then?

No but seriously. This just seems dumb to me. If they do this, then why not force all ballparks to have the same dimensions. Teams with retractable roofs open and close them throughout the season at their discretion.

BigGiantHead of the Ubaldo Lover's Club;OG Thugget Loyalist #4, QPU Emeritus, Proud member PR Gynocracy
MLB did the same thing with Minute Maid Park in Houston
back when the Astros were in the playoffs. (That actually happened, and only 6 years ago.) MLB dictated that the roof either be closed for all games or open for all games, no going back & forth. I believe the concern was that the ball “carrying better” w/ open roof would help or hurt certain pitchers.
If the roof had been open when Pujols hit his shot off Lidge, it might have taken out a building in downtown Dallas.
I still don't understand how they can dictate it only during the playoffs
this when they don’t dictate it during the entire season. It’s peculiar.

Suppose the Brewers had opened the roof for Game One because it was a lovely day and now for Game Five it rains, they would have to play in the rain?

I feel reallllly bad for Howard right now
I injured my knee on the same style of swing and eventually needed surgery on it. It was painful, and the jokes for injuring yourself on a swing weren’t fun either.
I don’t like the guy, but I wish him the best,

Has it been reported exactly what happened to him?

No, but he was holding his knee and couldnt put pressure on it
My friend told me that it looked like it popped out, but I’m not sure.

Looked like his ankle as he was trying to get out of the box
I think I would have liked the ending a lot more had he fallen down in disgust instead of actual pain.

It depends how good Fister really can be this month (for me)
If he’s Verlander’s partner in crime with Valverde (who hasn’t blow a save all year) sewing up the back end that’s pretty tough to beat.

Valverde
hasn’t blown a save all year but counting last night only 16 were 1-2-3 so it’s rarely comforting to know he’s actually coming in.

Not only were all three Game 5's outstanding
But all were outstanding pitcher’s duels. 3-2 Detroit, 3-2 Brewers, and 1-0 Cards. A whole new generation of young fans learned this week that baseball doesn’t need offense to be at it’s best.

OT: Funny 9-mo-old nephew story.
Sis-in-law was rearranging some stuff in his room, and put the fish bowl on the floor for a moment, but then forgot about it. Suddenly she hears a splash and turns to see nephew kneeling over a tipped fish bowl, with the water and fish spilling over his head (and his open, crying mouth) onto the floor. She had to pick up the fish and rush them to the bathroom to put them in some water in the sink, leaving nephew on the floor crying. Then came back and took him in for a bath. Baby and fish are all well. LOL.
Awww....poor fish :)
