Sunday Rockpile: Rockies Interested in Luis Castillo?

PrintMLB: Philadelphia Phillies, Colorado Rockies may be in on Luis Castillo - ESPN
Buster Olney says the Rockies are one of a few National League teams that have interest in the recently-DFA'd Luis Castillo. I'm not sure how much of an upgrade Castillo would be over the combination of Jonathan Herrera/Jose Lopez, but it is worth noting that Castillo's career .368 OBP trumps all of them. However, he is coming off the worst season of his career, and unlike Herrera and Lopez, he is on the wrong side of 30. He also hasn't had an above-average defensive season (in terms of Total Zone Rating) since his days with the Florida Marlins - six years ago. It may be best for the Rockies to stay away from Castillo, and let the Phillies or Cubs have him.
Rockies’ Maine ‘too amped up’ in spring debut | All Things Rockies — Colorado Rockies news — Denver Post
John Maine struggled through three innings against the Reds yesterday, as he continues to regain his composure on the mound after missing a year a baseball. The important thing, however, is that his shoulder is holding up well. Maine likely isn't going to make it into the Rockies' rotation to start the year, but if he decides to accept an assignment to Colorado Springs, he could find himself with the big league club by mid-season (completely dependent on his AAA performance, of course).
Rogers gets chance to improve his bid for fifth starter - The Denver Post
Esmil Rogers, who probably has the inside track in the fifth starter race at this point, will pitch today against the Angels. Also included in Jim Armstrong's piece are notes on Huston Street and Jhoulys Chacin, who dominated their competition yesterday.
Rockies Recap: Reds 10, Rockies 3 | All Things Rockies — Colorado Rockies news — Denver Post
In another Armstrong recap, he informs us that the Rockies have reassigned Charlie Blackmon and Ben Paulsen to minor league camp. Blackmon (.314, HR, 6 RBI) and Paulsen (.458, HR, four triples) certainly made an impression on the Cactus League. We'll probably see both guys in Colorado Springs this season. Blackmon is a legitimate major league prospect; the jury's still out on Paulsen. Hernan Iribarren, Sean White, and Claudio Vargas were reassigned as well.
Spring training 2011: Brian Wilson of San Francisco Giants injures ribcage - ESPN
The Giants' closer may not be ready for the start of the season, but the team will know a little bit more tomorrow once he is re-evaluated. Either way, it's a sign that a little bit of the luck that helped carry the Giants to a World Series championship might be changing a bit this year - something that, while not easily predictable, always seems to happen. With that being said, losing someone out of the bullpen is easier to handle than missing a guy out of the starting lineup or rotation.

today's lineup
vs. LAA: Fowler8, Herrera4, Gonzalez7, Tulowitzki6, Helton3, Wigginton5, Spilborghs9, Iannetta2, Rogers1
looks pretty close to an opening day lineup.
It's definitely close.
Though since the Diamondbacks named Kennedy their starter for Opening Day, I’d be surprised to see Wigginton and Spilly in the lineup instead of Smith and Stewart.

I'd also be surprised with Herrera over Lopez.
I’m looking at:
Fowler
Smith
CarGo
Tulo
Helton
Lopez
Stewart
CDI
Ubaldo
by CentralCaliRox on Mar 20, 2011 12:32 PM MDT via mobile up reply actions
I wouldn't be surprised with Herrera over Lopez at this point
and that’s not because I’m down on Lopez, it just seems to me the dispersal of playing time this Spring and the reports we’ve had indicate a split time situation, with neither player really laying claim to the title of starting second baseman. I’m guessing it has to do mostly with defensive hesitation with Lopez, and the fact that Herrera continues to show solid enough contact skills to not be a major negative at the plate.
What's your OD lineup then?
I’m not so sure about the Helton-Smith-Stewart trio in the middle of the order. But I agree that Herrera has forced himself into the picture.. I’m just not so sure. Herrera has moved around much more than Lopez, suggesting he will probably be the UT.
by CentralCaliRox on Mar 20, 2011 2:35 PM MDT via mobile up reply actions
If Herrera starts opening day,
It will look like
Fowler
Herrera
CarGo
Tulo
Helton
Stewart
Smith
CDI
Jimenez
If Lopez starts, which I think is a little more likely, I think you’ve called it right. I think Tracy will give Stewart and Smith some time toward the start of the season to hit LHP’s, but sub later if they can’t perform.
Yeah that’s what I think the lineup would look like as well, but that 5-6-7 is susceptible to a LH reliever later on.
Completely agreed with your last statement.
by CentralCaliRox on Mar 20, 2011 2:44 PM MDT via mobile up reply actions
I like this lineup
including Herrera and Spilly, they’ve had great springs,
Why would we even want Castillo?
I sure hope the Rockies aren’t all that serious about pursuing him.

I can't see Castillo being someone that would help the Rockies
at this point in his career. But I would be interested to see what his career numbers are against Colorado. Maybe it’s a misperception on my part, but it seems like he’s just killed us.
In other words, I really don’t want him but I sort of hope he stays out of the NL West.
by Northsider1964 on Mar 20, 2011 12:36 PM MDT reply actions
I think it may have been more of a guess by Olney given the lack of a clear starter for us right now
and the Rockies are probably interested in Castillo as a minor league add if he doesn’t find an MLB job elsewhere, which people apparently read as more than that.
The Rockies only seem to be interested in 2B’s if they’re clearly superior to what the team already has, and cheaply available. Castillo fails the first of those tests.
I can only find Castillo's numbers against current Rockies pitchers
Which doesn’t give me the full history. They are pretty close to his career line, though he’s owned Cook and hit .333 off of Ubaldo. Anyway, my memory of him as a Rockies killer is a bit inflated but not totally off the mark.
by Northsider1964 on Mar 20, 2011 3:28 PM MDT up reply actions
I can help here
If you go to a player’s baseball reference page, you can click on career under the splits category. If you scroll down all the way to the bottom of that page you can get a player’s numbers in each ballpark.
FWIW, he’s been pretty terrible in limited AB’s in Coors Field. .263 AVG/.325 OBP/.641 OPS

Herrera seems to have figured out the art of the slap hit, ala Tony Gwynn, Ichiro, etc..,
I understand the dubiousness of this claim for SABR types, but I think he’s at a point where it’s worth exploring how real this ability may be.
if he can bloop his way to .300, more power to him.

I don't undestand the urgency of immediately posting "slap hit"
each and every time Herrera reaches base. He went down and got a borderline pitch, inside-outed-it, didn’t hit it particularly well, but it split the OFs and fell for a hit. Happens every day in every ball game played, but sure draws a lot of attention when #18 does it.
by Northsider1964 on Mar 20, 2011 2:30 PM MDT up reply actions
Uhm, last I checked, second base was the Rockies only unsettled position...
So, yeah, there will be immediacy. And when I said “slap hit” I’m also comparing Herrera to a couple of Hall of Famers, you’re acting like I was disrespecting him somehow.
Slap hitters have been pretty successful over time.
Or what RG already said…never mind..lol

He hit seeing I singles like he invented them. I really felt he could steer his hits.

"When I was pitching 90's in the seventies; I never thought I'd be pitching 70's in the nineties!" Frank Tanana
I guess the reason I jumped in here
Is that I really don’t consider Herrera to be a slap hitter.Yeah I know he’s 5’8" and about 155, doesn’t have any power to speak of, but has good bat control and good feel for the strike zone. I don’t find anything unique about his hitting approach, except that he chokes up half an inch or so. His hand position, weight shift and swing path look pretty textbook to me. If he gets a disporportinate number of bloop hits, it just proves that good things happen when you hit the ball where it’s pitched.
by Northsider1964 on Mar 20, 2011 2:46 PM MDT up reply actions
I wasn't much bigger than Jon in my prime.I hit more doubles per 100 AB's. I hit a few homers here and there too.
But I hit alot more base hits and a lot of them were sneered at the same way as Jon’s. What’s the matter with always being on base and being on 2b often? The only problem is when you have a team of Dave kingman’s behind them That don’t drive you in very often.

Nothing's wrong with it
I like Herrera’s approach, and wouldn’t change a thing about it. I just don’t really find it unusual, the way I would view an Ichiro or even a Juan Pierre. Small guy+smart approach+solid, level swing = lots of singles.

I think they will bring back Cookie slowly, give Esmil a few starts
and maybe bring back Cookie as a reliever
If Rogers continues to pitch like he has the last couple of starts especially.
Hopefully not, but there could be another injury in the rotation by then to worry about too. Another scenario we probably don’t want to think about too much is that Chacin could get sent back to AAA instead of Rogers if Jhoulys struggles and Rogers does not.
I know I've said this before, but I'm worried about Jhoulys.
About as much as I am for Street.

for 2011 a little bit, especially maybe at the beginning of the season
I share some concern. Long term, he’s going to be great, but there’s probably another adjustment coming as he works his other pitches into his repertoire more. The good news is that we haven’t yet seen much of the change-up that he was showing in the minors. As he gets consistent with that, look out.
Excellent work so far, Esmil.

I’m excited for what he’s going to do.
When Helton plays well, the team can really take off.
There’s so many things to be excited for. But there’s also a lot of things to potentially be Disappointed in.

you don’t think Helton can tag up and score before Spilly can tag up and get tagged out 10 feet before he reaches 2nd? Dubious faith in Helton’s speed

I would say running is possibly the one part of the game Todd
Does’t put his all into… when you see him defend compared to so many other first baseman sluggers he doesn’t seem slow footed at all, and he’s not Giambi/Ortiz/Thomas/Fielder/etc. like ginormous, but even in his prime that 90 feet took him quite a while…

To tell you the truth
I’m actually happy they are making all these outs on the basepaths. If this was the regular season I’d be livid but now’s the time to test this out. You can’t find out where the limit is unless you go over the line a few times and what better time to do that than spring training.
Once the season starts I bet we’ll see them pull back the rains a little and go right up to that line without crossing it.

Unless Morales was thinking that Iannetta flashed the sign for “55-footer-that-Patrick-Roy-in-his-prime-couldn’t-stop” – or something like that.

rogers
if he could add a really effective change up to his arsenal he would be very hard to hit. He’s still just too hittable.
He's fine right now for a fifth starter. He'll give the Rockies about a 50/50 shot every five days, and that's all you usually ask for
I’m surprised at all the chatter about him not getting through a lineup the second time when he’s barely getting stretched past 5 IP today. It’s not like any of our other starters have looked good this deep into games so far. We’ll see if he comes back stronger next time out.
oh no I'm not worried by today's outing
I just think if he had that change up hitters would have a much harder time with him. He throws strikes but they are too hittable when they all fastballs.
yeah
I am always amazed at his ability to locate. Imagine if he could locate a change up. He could be a middle of the rotation guy.
Rogers' problem
Is similar to Hammel’s when he’s not right. He’s got good enough stuff, easily. He just can’t put guys away and doesn’t get a lot of weakly hit balls early in the count either. As a result, hitters learn to relax against him, confident they’ll eventually get a pitch to hit. Sometimes they don’t — that curveball can be nasty but is hard to control — but later in the game they do.
BiH is right. He really needs another pitch. An effective change-up or better yet a high 80’s or low 90’s sinking fastball like JImenez learned.

If Charles Barkley was in the booth
He would describe every single swing the Angels took off Brothers as turrble, turrble and more turrble. Not a good swing the entire inning. His “strong push” for a roster spot just got stronger.

If Brothers cracks the 25-man roster
I think it will be at Matt Reynolds’ expense, because he has options remaining and Morales doesn’t. Personally I would rather see a Brothers-Reynolds combo in the pen, because I think we’re more likely to see Reynolds shake off his bad spring training than we are to see Morales find his stuff in tight situations. But Morales’ lack of options will buy him a longer leash, in my opinion.

I'm actually somewhat encouraged by this type of game during ST
Where it seems like it’s a contest we will usually win just with a little bit of a tightening up by the pitching. The first team looked good. The second team hasn’t done as much, and it’s a stark reminder of what seemed to be our early 2010 weakness of offensive shutdowns after the third inning, but they’ve been a bit unlucky with baserunners/stringing hits together.
that, and it hasn't been the first team guys that haven't been able to put a run across.

Baseball’s a funny game – I can’t think of any other major sport where such an obviously good team can sign such an obviously bad player and it not be weird.
I can't open the link, but
I assume the Phils are looking for some cheap insurance if Chase Utley’s knee doesn’t come around. From that standpoint, it’s not the worst move in the world.
