Thursday Rockpile: The consensus can't see

PrintDavid Brown and Kevin Kaduk ('Duk at Big League Stew) preview the NL West in 2011. Their bottom line, the Rockies are possibly, maybe good enough to compete for a Wild Card, but the Giants are clearly ahead in the division. Yeah, about that...
What happened in 2010 isn't a viable predictor for what's going to happen in 2011.
- Aubrey Huff isn't going to be as good as he was (with some assistance from Buster Posey) last season, and we're not talking a small amount of drop-off here. Brandon Belt won't be nearly as good as Aubrey Huff was last season. Albert Pujols might be as good as Huff and Posey were last season, Joey Votto might, but after that the list gets quiet.
- Andres Torres, ditto. Actually the same thing is true of the entire Giants outfield. Mark Derosa's back and that will help them just fine, but he's not going to be as good as the guys that were out there last year.
- Buster Posey actually may be as good as he was last season, he's that talented, but chances are much more likely that he drops off in his rate of production. Pujols fell back his sophomore season, Tulo and Braun fell back in their sophomore seasons, it's not insulting to a player or not seeing their greatness to say that regression is likely to happen, it's just the safe bet. Because of this and the fact that he's going to need rest if San Francisco doesn't want him going Russell Martin on them, the Giants aren't likely to get as much in the line of added value from the catcher position in 2011 as their fans are suggesting.
- The Giants pitching staff is vulnerable. They've taken on this mythic quality, we're all supposed to marvel and bow to their greatness, but outside of Tim Lincecum, there's plenty to be dubious about. SABRmetrically, Matt Cain is equal to Jason Hammel (okay, I don't actually believe that, but it's a lot closer than most fans will think,) Jorge De La Rosa is equal to Jonathan Sanchez (this is true) and Jhoulys Chacin is equal or better (this) than Madison Bumgarner. Barry Zito is not better than Aaron Cook or Esmil Rogers, Jeff Suppan is considerably worse. Their bullpen is overrated and were at least as lucky as they were good last season and Brian Wilson really isn't that funny most of the time. There, I said it. Even assuming they get through another relatively injury free season (which is already in doubt with Wilson,) they're not as far ahead of the Rockies or Dodgers as people seem to believe.
- People talk about the gains the Giants will make at third base and at second, positions they were already average at last season, but Miguel Tejada. Miguel Tejada is the Giants friggin' starting shortstop. Juan Uribe was inexplicably worth three wins at the position last year, Tejada in 2011 will lose it all possibly more.
Look, I have no problem with people seeing the Giants as a better team than the Rockies right now, they're talented, they won enough last season and the Rockies lost enough, to justify this, but to see that clear a separation in talent shows too much fermented dough in the brain. About the Rockies, Brown says:
Well, here's the problem: They've gotten below-average production at first base, third base and right field.
Let me go on about this. In the same article that Brown can see how the Giants are going to automatically get better at second (with 1/3 of a season more of Freddy Sanchez), catcher (with 1/4 of a season more of Buster Posey) and third (with a skinny Pablo Sandoval,) and stay just as good elsewhere, he assumes that the Rockies are going to stay just as bad at their under-performing positions from 2010. So why does Sandoval magically bounce back to his productive self of two seasons ago, but not Seth Smith? How would a healthy Freddy Sanchez help the Giants more than a healthy Todd Helton help the Rockies? Why is Posey a lock to live up to his promise in 2011, but not Ian Stewart?
I don't know if Brown's really biased for the Giants or against the Rockies, but I'm guessing it's just winner goggles clouding his view. My point again is that the two teams are a lot closer than their records at the end of 2010 suggested and when the Rockies do win the division this year, it's not going to be because they got lucky, because it's an odd numbered year or because the Giants inexplicably faltered, it will be because the talent of the team is up the task.
***
Anyway, enough about the talent of the team, what about the value?
$414 million according to Forbes, up 8% from 2010.
In estimated value, the Rockies clearly are behind the Giants ($563 million), who are clearly behind the Dodgers ($800 million.) If the Monforts' rosy projections are to be believed about the coming few seasons, however, the team should gain in revenue and value at least on the Dodgers, not that there will be much chance for passing Los Angeles in the next 30 years, or ever, without substantial demographic/population shifts.
All that said, could Forbes be underestimating the Rockies as well? $28 million of the $30 million gain over 2010's estimate came from the league-wide sport category or "portion of franchise's value attributable to revenue shared among all teams" with the Rockies brand management remaining neutral and their market rising by $2 million. We've already noted the sharp increase in attendance in the Spring, we've noted the anticipated near double digit percentage increase in attendance for the regular season, it just seems to me that the Rockies brand has made solid inroads in their market over the last 12 months. Some numbers make me wonder if I'm too close and misreading things (for instance, no Rockies player was among the top twenty in jersey sales in 2010,) so we'll see. Again, the proof will be in the gate receipts.
Value and revenue are one thing, how the money gets spent is another, and efficiency is where the Rockies have been able to keep pace with LA and SF over the past few seasons. The Monforts are a lot more hands on with the Rockies than the general trend of owners seems to be going. In this, they've certainly had their missteps, but at least they haven't been Wilpon/McCourt type of missteps. I think they've learned to leave the baseball to their baseball people like General Manager Dan O'Dowd and take on more of the business responsibilities.

Tulo's sophomore year (2008) isn't really a comp for Posey
Even though he started slowly in April, he missed most of the rest of the first half. Who knows how he would have turned out given the re-emergence in the second half?
I appreciate the spirit because the Giants are not as good as non-PR people are giving them credit for (especially due to number 5), but Posey seems a safe bet to perform as well as or better than last year. Thus, even if he stays static, they’ll get value added at the catcher position from an extra 2-3 months of Posey.
It will be interesting to see how Posey progresses.
I don’t like him, only because he is wearing the wrong jersey.

I was wondering, Miss, if given your ‘parently powerful powers of precognition you might also be able to predict when The Big One will hit California. Because when if it does I’m sure this will would prove mutually beneficial in a number of ways.
For one, Them Which You Fear will would at the very least be relocated to, say, St. Petersburg.
Or somewhere even wetter.
Also, my seemingly interminable drive from SpringTrainingland to the beach will would be significantly reduced in length.

The big one is coming in less than 30 years.
I believe in the future, the reality of the present, the sweet memories of the past, living is more than breathing, spring will came if we wait, patiently, believing, hoping. But the winter is long and we must endure its cold. I believe in the future, the reality of what is to come, the sweet memories that are yet to occur, probably, eventually, someday.
And I believe in hope and anticipation: the idea that we’ll meet again, and counting down the days until we do.

nice article RG
I say we win the season series 10-8. I see pablo getting better, And I liked the way Torres and Buster were playing but all the others do not do a whole lot for me.
Posey’s a winner, And I dont care how many WS the Giants win, I still hate the Dodgers more than I hate the Giants.
The Big Purple Machine will make a believer outta you!
The reason I don't see a dropoff coming from Posey
Is that he has such fantastic plate coverage. That makes him very hard to pitch to, and leaves pitchers with very few options as far as adjustments are concerned. Sure the Giants have some question marks, but Posey isn’t one of them.
Completely agreed.
I hate that he’s in the same division as us, because he’s probably the young star I’m most excited about.

I also agree.
And the comparison of Seth Smith to Sandoval doesn’t seem that accurate. Sandoval had more of a history prior to last year than Smeth did, and he had a less exaggerated platoon split. It seems to me that there is more potential for increased WAR from Sandoval than from Smith.
In general, though, I agree with the article that people outside the Rockies fanbase are analyzing the Rockies and Giants differently because of last years’ results.
In regards to the scoreboard error a few ST games back…

Rigidly ordering players to take the first pitch
Makes no more sense than insisting that the always swing at the first pitch. Predictable tendencies are an important thing for a hitter to avoid, just as they are for a pitcher.
Mora, for example, was a guy that would lull pitchers into thinking he would never, ever swing at the first pitch. Then in his 3rd or 4th AB of the day – BANG! Line drive base hit on the first pitch.
So I like the idea of players being given the freedom to hit the first strike they see, as long as they use that freedom wisely. Keeps the pitcher off-balance and makes him work harder to get the out, instead of just gift-wrapping an 0-1 count for him the moment you step in the box.

That is exactly what I loved about Tulo in the article
in the way he handles 1st pitch swinging – and not just giving that 1st pitch away to go down 0-1.

I didn't see this article quoted any where
It is very on topic
This statement sounds like the punchline to a very good joke
It’s relatively shocking to me that a team with aspirations of defending their World Championship is planning on going into the season with Miguel Tejada as their starting shortstop and Mike Fontenot as the only guy on the roster capable of filling in for him.
Tejada performed quite well with the Padres last year
He actually kind of makes me nervous.

His offense stats aren't bad
defensively I believe he is a huge liability especially as an everyday starter at SS. With Pablo at third the whole left side of their infield is suspect at best. Granted the Giants rotation is mostly good enough to deal with this, but mistakes will be made.

I'm to that point in the off-season
where I’m tired of wondering whether we’ll see a greater improvement from Ian/Seth/Chris/Dex/Todd’s back or a fall-off from CarGo (or Tulo), and whether rest of the rotation will make up for those days that Ubaldo isn’t The Most Interesting Pitcher in the World.

Well Barmes's career road OPS is only .618 so sadly it's not that far off
I do think Barmes will do better than that though because of the reverse Coors Effect but he’s probably more of a .680 OPS guy.

Yes but the difference
is that as a fanbase they seem to act like they have been winning as many as the Yankees or the Dodgers. So their arrogance doesn’t comport with their winning ratio.

I like Smith at 5, but i think Lopez fits in at 3 or clean up in this line up. Why not give him a look at an earlier spot. The Rocks seem dedicated to putting him at the bottom of the order though. I’m really ok with this, but wonder if he has more value earlier in the line up
Rox are making him bat lower because that's where he'll bat during the season.
He’s not going to hit 3rd. He’s not going to hit 4th. Putting him lower is the right move.
by CentralCaliRox on Mar 24, 2011 11:28 AM MDT up reply actions
The question is though
should he or could he be hitting higher in the line up? It seems that his place in the line up was put in stone before spring.
Nope.
Our top of the lineup is pretty solid – not sure who he would replace up there.

Yeah see I disagree
I’d like to at least give him some chances in the two hole. I certainly would not hit him 3,4,5 during the season. Who do you have slotted 2nd?

Soo I see that the hype on Pacheco has died down. . .
Looks like he won’t make the OD roster.
by CentralCaliRox on Mar 24, 2011 11:26 AM MDT reply actions
You follow Renck on Twitter, right?
He posted several tweets last night after the postgame press conference with Tracy, and Tracy specifically said that Pacheco’s still in the running to make the roster as the backup catcher.
I mean, I agree with you that he almost certainly won’t make the team, but I thought the fact that he’s still in the running was really interesting.
Yes I do.
I only bring it up because I just read his blog on Pacheco.
I don’t think he really is in the running.. He hasn’t played much lately.. I just think it’s Tracy wanting to keep Pacheco on top of things.
by CentralCaliRox on Mar 24, 2011 11:30 AM MDT up reply actions
I think I'm ready to guess the OD lineup
I see it going down as follows.
Fowler CF
Hererra 2B
Cargo LF
Tulo RF
Helton 1B
Stewart 3B
Smith RF
Iannetta C
Ubaldo
I have a hard time seeing it being anything else. Only change I can see happening is swapping Smith and Hererra.
I'm almost sure it will be.
Fowler
Smith
CarGo
Tulo
Helton
Lopez
Stew
CDI
ubaldo
Bet on it ;)
by CentralCaliRox on Mar 24, 2011 11:32 AM MDT up reply actions
I don't see any way Lopez gets the OD start.
Not over Herrera, who is both a “professional hitter” and has earned it. Plus, I bet they prefer the switch hitter against the righty vs a righty.
You forget that Lopez is "a guy they've had their eye on for awhile"
and traded a not-insignificant prospect for. He’s there Opening Day.

I watched his swing last year too.
Saw his highlights on MLB.com. Just something about it I don’t like. Maybe it’s the way he waves it over his head, his swing just looks long and slow to me.

Lopez's swing seems slow to you?
Granted, I haven’t seen too many games due to being too cheap for MLBTV, but Lopez’s bat speed impressed me in the few AB’s I’ve seen. It’s part of the reason why he makes so much contact.
Hmm, I could be wrong.
I think his bat stays in the zone a little longer, that’s why he makes good contact. But I wouldn’t say he has really good bat speed. He’s been late on some hard stuff and hitting it softly to right. . . I’ll be able to judge it better when I see it over the season though.
by CentralCaliRox on Mar 24, 2011 11:41 AM MDT up reply actions
Pre spring, I agree with you
But I don’t see how Jim can justify it, and he justifies a lot of weird crap.
Herrera has earned it.
But look. Lopez has started at 2B the last 3 games, with Herrera coming in later in the game or, like today’s case, starting at a different position. Tracy gave us a look at the OD lineup when the Rox played SF. Trust me, it’s Lopez.
by CentralCaliRox on Mar 24, 2011 11:35 AM MDT up reply actions
Likely Lopez
but Herrera has clearly earned it. I think it’s POSSIBLE that Lopez’s recent starts have been to give him a chance to win the position… and I for one would love to see the supposed pop we’re going to get from him… but Herrera has made a statement this spring, too. To me, this is the most intereting question left this spring.

My heart was just smashed during his start before the ASB
Perfect through 4, ends up with a chance for like 7 innings, 2 earned, and then Belisle (who is my 3rd or 4th favorite player, and probably my weighted favorite given the low expectations for him pre-2010) threw the double play ball away at home plate. I just knew that the Rox would be tied for first after that game, and it felt like it would be the case until the last minute.

cf has it hit off his glove, and it rolls to the ss who was running out to left. ss tries to pick it up, loses control, and it rolls to the lf who was also coming in. he throws to 3rd trying to get a runner who was on first. get the out at 3rd, the batter takes too long a turn at 1st so the 3b throws to 1b. it skips off him and into short right, where the rf was backing up. he picks up the ball and chases down the runner and tags him out.
that’s a double play with 3 errors.

"0" is the ball bouncing off Dinger, along the way
"Your classless organization accused our team of an unspeakable act. It was baseless, the Giants are classless, and I have no sympathy for your eternal damnation."
Here's how I see it going down
With two out and nobody on, a ball is blooped into shallow center field. As the hitter is leaving the batter’s box, he twists his ankle, falls, and can’t get back up. Meanwhile, Dex attempts to make a diving catch on the ball but is unsuccessful. It instead bounces off his glove and right to Tulo who flips the ball to Cargo because he wants to “teh LAZOR” in action. Cargo fires teh LAZOR but for some inexplicable reason Ian Stewart is behind second base and macks a diving catch on it. From the seat of his pants, he then gets the ball to Todd at first for what appears to be the third out of the inning. As Todd is walking off the field, he gives the ball to a fan (that’s the zero part)
However, Spilly realizes that Todd didn’t have his foot on first what Stewart threw it to him so he gets the ball back from the fan and walks it over to first for the out himself.
And that’s your 8-6-7-5-3-0-9 play.

You have to remember you're only going to hear maybe fifteen seconds of the beginning of the song.
You want something with instant punch.
What the players themselves end up choosing sometimes comes nowhere near that, so you know they’re not angling for it.
Completely by accident I once owned a copy of Tommy Tutone – 2
Still, I consider Which Man Are You? a more creditable tune than 867.
No, not in the “punch” sense – in the “This has actual merit.” sense.

But it doesn't have to be the beginning of the song
I’d love to see someone use the intro to “Tommy Gun”, however.
"Your classless organization accused our team of an unspeakable act. It was baseless, the Giants are classless, and I have no sympathy for your eternal damnation."
Yes!
And with that suggestion the ice is broken on what I was trying to remember earlier when you suggested Clash City Rockers:
Brand New Cadillac.Though as with that one it’d be mo’ bettah if they could choose any ol’ fifteen second section of a tune rather than be restricted to the intro.

I'm not well versed in the managers methods during ST
but as I understand it. You want your starters facing the other teams starters and put the prospects and NRI in later to face each other to keep the competition level even.
well, he's of Latin descent
so he’s already on the same wavelength as 4/5 of the rotation.

by frightened inmate #2 on Mar 24, 2011 1:43 PM MDT up reply actions
This
If you’re playing in the 6th, 7th, 8th, or 9th inning of a ST game, you’re probably facing some pretty inferior competition. It doesn’t do guys who are going to be on the Major League roster any good to play against a AA pitcher who may never play in the BIGS in his life.
This is why we see teams bring the closer in in the 4th and 5th innings of ST games. Teams want them to see real competition so they can get ready.

Not necessarily.
Morales has been getting a lot of his ABs later on in the game against lesser competition. Why hasn’t he started and gotten ABs against other teams’ starters? If he’s going to be the backup, he’s going to start games. He needs to be able to catch 9 innings.

#Rockies drawing trade interest in J. Lopez. Could go with Herrera, Wigginton at 2B. Lopez set to earn $3.6M. #MLB
I’d be a bit hesitant to give up Lopez unless some team knocks our socks off with an offer. A Herrera/Wigginton platoon at 2B all year doesn’t inspire a ton of confidence.
On the other hand, FREE CHRIS NELSON.

If Lopez was traded, the big question for me would be
what the Rockies did with the roster spot. If it meant an extra arm in the pen (like Brothers, perhaps), I could see some benefit in that. Herrera/Wigginton doesn’t excite me that much either, but neither does a hodgepodge of Lopez/Herrera/Wigginton.
