PrintSan Diego Padres at Cincinnati Reds, Jul 28, 2009 7:10 PM EDT
|
|
|
Good News: In their collective careers, the current Reds have hit .281/.319/.516 off of Kevin Correia.
Bad News: In their collective careers, the current Padres have hit .294/.357/.431 off of Bronson Arroyo, including Kevin Kouzmanoff, who is 9 for 13 with 2 HR off of Arroyo.
Good News: Reds have a 1-game winning streak.
Bad News: It's their longest streak this month.
And because of that, we will be keeping the baby under the basket until they win 2-in-a-row. This could be Arroyo's last start with the Reds. Come on, Bronson, show them your Tiger Eyes!

The secret to winning from Mark Sheldon
Reliever Daniel Herrera was parked in a chair on Tuesday that kind of small, even for him. It was a toddler-sized chair from the movie “Cars” and it had replaced his regular folding chair. It wasn’t even a prank — Herrera spotted the chair in a storage area at GABP on Monday.
“We’re 1-0 with the chair,” Herrera said. “I’m the only one that can fit in it.”
why
is there a chair from “Cars” at GABP?

During the MLBTR chat
There was talk of the Braves having talks with a team about an “under the radar” bullpen arm. The thought is that it might be Massethound

I think we can afford to lose ONE young
bullpen arm next year on top of Weather or Rhodes being traded. Stewart is in the offing and a RamRam-esque arm could be a solid long reliever.

Masset is another arm that if we can get something for him now
We might want to. I remember seeing that he wasn’t really thought of much when we picked him up for Grif. He might actually be as good as he has been this season, but somehow I doubt it.

what would it take for the Reds to release
Gonzales- other organizations do it all the time. Why would the Reds keep an injury riddled horrible veteran SS that in no way can be in their long term plans and is untradeable.
And yet not only is he still on the roster- he is batting 2nd.
And anyone that has any doubt that Dusty is a complete raving lunatic- I have 2 words for you Niefi Perez or 2 more- Corey Patterson or 3 more Gonzales batting 2nd.
Gonzo is horrible
but you don’t take a million dollar haircut so that Jerry Hairston / Paul Janish can play fulltime.

by Charlie Scrabbles on Jul 28, 2009 6:15 PM EDT up reply actions
I think that whatever defenisve loss you take with Cherry
if any, would be worth it. Cherry might not be the best SS in the world but he can at least hit better than Gonzo
by wishfuldrifter on Jul 28, 2009 6:17 PM EDT up reply actions
it doesnt cost you any money
and why wouldnt you play Janish full time if only to get a more accurate read on his defense.
Gonzo is a sunk cost- you dont receive any value keeping him on the roster.
What's your point?
Gonzo was injured last year, so you give him that.
Gon gets $5.73MM this year, so if you cut him halfway through the season, that’s $2.37MM down the tubes so that Hairston can play at short. It’s the difference of less than a win for the remainder of the season.
My point is that if you’re gonna cut A-Gon, you ought to have a replacement who can play the position better than Jerry. Makes more sense to send Janish down, not eat A-Gons remaining salary and have someone come to you in a deadline deal.
by RijoSaboCaseyWKRP on Jul 28, 2009 6:23 PM EDT up reply actions
One point is that his contract is a sunk cost.
The cost to the team is the same whether Gonzalez is here or not, so no, it doesn’t “cost” millions of dollars to cut him now.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
the point is you have to pay Gonzo
the cost is the additional salary for whom you call up to replace Gonzo. If its a minor league your additional cost would be around 150k. Is that worth it to evaluate Hairston or Janish for the rest of the year and also increase your chance of winning games. I would say 150k is definitely worth just having a better scouting report on Hairston and Janish.
I understand, but the economics don't make sense
If Gonzo is here and not on the DL, he should play because both he and Hairston are replacement level at SS. Don’t bat Gonzo second and don’t play him every day for 9 innings, but unless you have a better option than Hairston, Gonzo it’s not worth flushing that money.
We don’t need a better scouting report on those guys, especially Hairston – who’s been in the league for like 9 years? I think we know what we’re getting.
by RijoSaboCaseyWKRP on Jul 28, 2009 6:34 PM EDT up reply actions
Gonzo is below replacement level.
That’s kind of the whole point.
And no, we’ve never really bothered to play Janish very much, even though he’s likely better than Gonzalez and already here.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
I'm not saying Gonzo's not terrible
but I think he’s capable of being replacement level – which is where I place Hairston and Janish. Not worth consigning over $2MM to someone who isn’t on the roster.
My point is not PLAY ALEX GONZALEZ EVERY DAY, it’s get a SS who is worth more than the difference in their WARs minus Gonzo’s salary minus Player X’s salary.
by RijoSaboCaseyWKRP on Jul 28, 2009 6:39 PM EDT up reply actions
And our point is that Gonzo's salary is irrelevant.
It’s already spent. We need to get over it. The point is to field the best possible lineup, given the stupid decisions we’ve already made.
And the way he’s playing, it’s really hard to argue that he should play over Hairston or Janish.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
It is relevant if you're proposing to keep Janish and Hairston
and cut Gonzalez. If you’re going to add another MLB salary on a cash-strapped team, that player better make up for the fact that Hairston and/or Janish are not going to be an improvement on the guy you cut. The player needs to play above what he’s being paid and play regularly.
I guess I’m willing to cut Gonzo more slack. Slot him in at 8th and spell him with Jerry unless there’s new blood from the trade market.
by RijoSaboCaseyWKRP on Jul 28, 2009 6:52 PM EDT up reply actions
I'm failing to see your point.
Look, they’re going to keep Gonzalez. We know that. At best, he might finally stop batting second, but I’m doubtful.
That said, this team is clearly better off not carrying him in his current state. Maybe he’ll finally recover from his injury in the next couple of weeks and rise back to mediocrity, but I’m doubtful. More likely, he’ll continue to suck. In that case, Hairston and Janish would be better options, with his place being taken by some promoted minor leaguer (who could better cover the outfield). The net cost is minimal.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
I think we simply disagree that Hairston and Janish
are improvements at SS. I’m making an annoyingly nuanced argument about the economics of the team – which I assume to be in poor shape.
If I were holding this team’s purse strings, I’d keep Gonzo in the hopes that he plays above replacement level for the remainder of the season – I think he’s just as likely to do so at SS as Janish and Hairston. Seems pointless to cut Gonzo when you don’t really have a better option and it looks bad on the balance sheet to stakeholders. He’s gone after this year.
Call it entrapment I guess.
by RijoSaboCaseyWKRP on Jul 28, 2009 7:13 PM EDT up reply actions
I just think that your argument about the "economics"
doesn’t make any sense. We’ve already paid for Gonzalez. The point is to do the best we can, having already paid that.
The balance sheet is going to look bad, regardless, since we’ve already overpaid for a crappy SS.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
Hairston and Janish are not the improvement
you’re looking for. So you don’t cut a guy you put money into unless you have an improvement in mind.
I put Rosales, Janish and Hairston in the same category of “shitty infielders who could conceivably play shortstop this year.” Of course you keep the guy you sunk millions into for 60 more games if there’s really no one better at the position.
by RijoSaboCaseyWKRP on Jul 28, 2009 7:22 PM EDT up reply actions
Why?
I keep saying this, but it makes no sense to consider how much you put into someone. You keep the best option, regardless. All of the contracts are already decided.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
It's easy to say that when
it’s not your money. I understand how the guaranteed contracts work. My point is that – all things being equal – you keep Gonzalez. I don’t think there is a “best” option here. You have 3-4 replacement level shortstops, but one happens to have a higher expectation reflected in the salary he was awarded. Even if that assessment is now terribly out of wack, I still think A-Gon could have potential value over the last 60 or so games that is equal to or greater than Hairston et al. Pointless to cut him until you have a better option.

Sorry to drag this out. I think what I’m arguing is pretty stupid – and I’m pretty stubborn. What I’d like the Reds to do is acquire a real SS.

Oh, and from the Fayplacement
Catcher Ryan Hanigan (stiff neck) tonight will not start for a 4th consecutive game, leaving the Reds razor-thin at catcher again. "In an emergency situation I’ll be ready, but I’m probably only about 60 or 70 percent right now," Hanigan said. "I still don’t have full range of motion. I’m doing rehab pretty much all day every day, trying to get back as soon as possible. Hopefully a couple days."
The Reds thus will probably play again Tuesday with rookie Craig Tatum as their only true catcher. Infielder Paul Janish would be the emergency catcher. Janish was seen in the clubhouse today with a catcher’s mask.
Manager Dusty Baker described Hanigan as having “a setback.” "(Hanigan) didn’t do a whole bunch yesterday, but you don’t know what aggravated it, whether it’s a soft pillow or too hard a pillow or whatever," Baker said. Hanigan said it may have been a combo of sleeping troubles, combined with spasming that happened when he took BP in Chicago a few days agao.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
well crap
so do we play yet another man short or dl him, put someone on the 60 day and get someone else in here

i dont think the ballplayers of the 30’s and 40’s had such difficulty. maybe its all this modern air conditioning and air travel thats really to blame.
"I piss excellence"
great
Janish has probably guaranteed himself a roster spot with his pitching and catching prowess, but he’ll hardly ever get to play as an infielder, as the emergency backup catcher.

That book about that minor league coach who was killed by a line drive is as much about minor league baseball as it is about Coolbaugh. Minor league baseball is all about failure. Everyone who makes it that far was the star of their Little League and high school teams, and maybe their college team, too, if they went to college. But the vast majority of minor leaguers never make it to the big leagues. They have learn at age 19 or 23 or 28 what most us don’t struggle with until middle age: that they’ll never achieve their dreams because they’re just not good enough.
