Slyde linked to this in the game thread late last night
but it definitely deserves front page treatment. Here's what Hall o' Famer Hal (God bless that man) has to say about Willy Taveras:
"Pinch-hitter Freddie Lewis hit a ball to dead center. As he has done so often this year, center fielder Willy Taveras broke poorly on the ball, running laterally to his left before realizing the ball was over his head. It fell for a double. He doesn’t get on base. When he does he doesn’t steal when it is needed. He was brought in to be a leadoff hitter and couldn’t do it and is now batting second. And he is below average in the field. What can Taveras do? He has a nice stereo set in the clubhouse that plays loud, headache-inducing salsa music.
And holy cahooties. Taveras just hit a ground ball to the mound and trotted toward first base. Didn’t run. Jogged. Stopped before he got to the bag. Manager Dusty Baker immediately yanked him from the lineup, replacing him with Laynce Nix. The Reds later announced that Taveras has a strained right quadriceps muscle. I don’t question the injury, but it was awfully convenient. As far as I’m concerned, and many other fans are concerned, Taveras can rot on the bench the rest of the season. I’ve seen nothing to merit the millions the Reds have flushed down the toilet when they brought this guy in. Baker said Taveras hurt himself early in the game when he bunted and dove head first into the first-base bag as the ball rolled foul. He stayed in and couldn’t run the next at-bat. "I knew something was wrong when I saw him not run, because that’s not Willy," said Baker."
Woah. -
Brewers GM Doug Melvin says he'll likely have a deal in place to move Bill Hall before Friday
And the Reds are at the eye of the storm on this thing. Adam McCalvy of MLB.com says the Reds have both Aaron Harang and Bronson Arroyo, who they've been trying to deal for some time. He says the Reds may be in for a contract swap. -
Dugout Central thinks the Reds would only be continuing their pattern of nonsense
if they pulled the trigger on this proposed salary swap of Bronson Arroyo for Bill Hall. I'm not sure how this rumor came about, but it just sounds far too ridiculous to be true. I mean, the Reds could just wait a few days and pick up Hall for the league minimum. Why would they give up a perfectly serviceable (if overpaid) pitcher for him? This is just crazy talk, right? -
When pondering Walt Jocketty's Plan, remember that Jim Bowden had a plan all the back in 1998
(hat tip: Mo Egger) -
Another outing, another almost-quality start for Homer Bailey
After sailing through 5 2/3 innings, it came unraveling for him in the 6th. "Sixth inning, two outs," Bailey said. "I tried everything I could. It didn’t work." I like the progress I've seen from Homer this season, but he's gotta get it right soon. There's less than a month and a half left in the season, and if he doesnt prove he's a major-league quality pitcher in this stretch of time, then the Reds have a serious decision to make. Homer will not have any options left next season, so if he doesnt get it right by then he will likely be trying to get it right with another team. -
Brandon Phillips is all right by me
BP's wrist is still sore, but he's gonna soldier on and finish the season. "It hurts," Phillips said. "But if I can play with a broken thumb, if I can play with an injured finger, I can play with an injured wrist." -
Hal says he thinks Mike Leake and Brad Boxberger will be on the fast track to the big leagues
"They are quality pitchers from quality college programs (Arizona State, Southern California) and they should be able to move up quickly," said Jocketty.

I'll admit it.
I cheered when Taveras came up lame out of the batter’s box. That doesn’t really make me a bad person, does it? He’ll continue to make millions for not producing this year and the next whether he’s injured or not. I’m just tired of him hurting this team, and Dusty’s determined to play him if at all possible.
The best thing that could happen for this team right now is for his injury to stick.

He got booed really, really loudly.
For a long time. I really just cannot understand, at all, Dusty’s obsession with this guy. He defends him with a bogus injury claim for walking to first base but pulls Brandon Phillips for a similar offense? Except BP is actually good at baseball, and Willy isn’t?
Honestly, Dusty’s been in pro baseball for a long time. Does he really not realize how bad Taveras is?
Wait, so you're telling me that this man will get paid, regardless of whether or not he performs on the field?
He’ll even get paid if his performance while he is on the field is detrimental to the team? He’d get paid, even if they brought in someone – even someone within the organization – to play his position and perform better than he would?

text book prices are only outrageous because the publishers have a stranglehold on the market and are artificially inflating the prices. you cant blame the professors, and you surely cant blame the bookstore.

i don't think that is completely true
there are some profs who work to find inexpensive books. Now that isn’t always possible, but I know there are some profs who are more concerned about the cost of their required texts than others.

That's part of it...
but in many subjects, all of the available options are exorbitant.
Slyde’s referring to a bit of stupidity unique to my class. The bookstore for some reason ordered the old edition of the textbook, which then somehow retailed for $182.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
For my next DMA class I had to buy 3 books, 2 of which were paperbacks
These are not special textbooks, just general music ed. texts that are probably used all over the country. I searched for a long time to find them cheap and ended up spending $185 on the three. The most expensive was one of the paperbacks, 465 pages, $75.
I know what I’m going to do when I get this degree……write a textbook.
(agree that you can’t blame the professors in most cases. If you really really like to teach out of a certain book and think it is the best one available, you should be able to use it regardless of cost)

The annoying thing for me
as I looked for a book for this class is that there are dozens of introductory microeconomics books. They’re all about the same price.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
And the books themselves are more or less interchangeable...
yet somehow competition doesn’t bring the prices down.

Yeah, rules of economics don't seem to apply here
since the prof chooses the book, demand is set and fixed and so prices can do what they want.
It’s like a Commie Russian bread line!!!
Baseball must be a great game to survive the fools who run it.— Bill Terry
Right, but as a prof
there’s little reason for me to choose one book over another—they’re near-perfect substitutes. So why don’t they bother to compete on price?
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
I'd bet that for most profs and most textbooks they don't see them that way
People get attached to certain ways of doing things and using certain texts. There might be one chapter in one book that has some really good stuff in it so the prof swears by it and won’t use anything else.
Baseball must be a great game to survive the fools who run it.— Bill Terry
Yeah, I get that.
In a lot of fields they are less replaceable. But most introductory textbooks are interchangeable, and yet the high prices persist. Sure, there are barriers to changing, but there’s enough turnover in faculty that this shouldn’t be a huge issue.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
True, and I've never understood why more textbooks couldn't be in paperback
I bet it allows for higher margins for the publisher if it’s only in hardback.
It’s like in my neighborhood, all of the buildings being built are “luxury”, meaning they spent an extra $20,000 on fixtures and appliances and can then charge an extra $80,000. I don’t need a Sub-Zero fridge, damnit!

the sort of brother-in-law
was an art director for a big textbook publisher – got laid off a couple years ago when they moved a lot of operations to India
I was wondering about that
So, let’s say for my $75 paperback, you figure it costs a couple dollars to produce, who is getting all the profit? I assume bookstores aren’t marking things up that much because there is competition there, so are the publishers taking all that profit?
Baseball must be a great game to survive the fools who run it.— Bill Terry
Production costs have gone up a lot as paper
costs have risen significantly, but that still doesn’t explain those incredible prices.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
pretty much
publishers take about 65% of the cut. that goes toward printing costs, editor’s fees, marketing, etc. bookstores take about a 23% hunk on the book, which goes mostly toward labor and rent (universities charge unfathomable amounts of money to have a brick-and-mortar store on their campus). authors take away maybe 10% if they are lucky.
by Charlie Scrabbles on Aug 19, 2009 1:57 PM EDT up reply actions
So this book's latest edition was published in 1995
that means that for the last 14 years each author has gotten $3.75 for each book sold, which probably numbers in the upper hundreds each year. I’d take 5-10 grand as a supplement to my salary every year.
Baseball must be a great game to survive the fools who run it.— Bill Terry
True, and textbooks are a bitch to write, I understand that,
but if you can find a niche that needs to be filled, put in a year or two worth of hard work, it could conceivably pay off really well for a long time.
(I’ve already got a great idea….muahhahahaha)
Baseball must be a great game to survive the fools who run it.— Bill Terry
the real racket is in new editions
some of these textbooks i sell are on their 13th or 14th editions. the publishers make new ones every 2-3 years or so to keep the used text racket under wraps.

Right, that's kinda what I meant, the 1995 one is the 5th edition

if he waits 3 days
then he might not get him. I realize that that would be fine with RRs, but there are several teams that would take a flyer on him like the Giants or Twins.
Not getting him is also a more than acceptable outcome

i dont really get the disdain for hall
in his two full, healthy seasons, he’s been awesome. and he’s only 29. is there a concern that he cant stay healthy?
What do you mean, "blank slate"?
he ain't exactly trending in the right direction
wOBA the last 4 years:
.369
.317
.297
.269
I won’t hate the Reds for signing him for the minimum, if that were to happen, but I don’t believe he is worth giving up any players of any sort.
"It seems like we're not hitting because we're not getting hits." - Dusty being Dusty
except, of course, Willy Taveras
but I still don’t want Hall’s salary.
"It seems like we're not hitting because we're not getting hits." - Dusty being Dusty
i know, but thats my point
he’s been hurt the past three years and has played just 136, 128 and 76 games, respectively. and those are in his age 27, 28 and 29 seasons, when he should be peaking. it seems to me his inability to stay on the field has been the issue, and not a diminishing skill set. seems worth taking a flyer on, even for more than the minimum.
What do you mean, "blank slate"?
and my point is that this organization shouldn't be taking chances on injury plagued players who are bad when they are playing
I don’t believe there is anything smart about acquiring Bill Hall for more than the minimum.
"It seems like we're not hitting because we're not getting hits." - Dusty being Dusty
i get that
it just seems to me like he has a fairly high upside. when i say more than the minimum, im talking about 2 or 3 million a year for 2 years or so. that wont break anybody
What do you mean, "blank slate"?
unnecessary
he’s making $8.5M next season. let him be happy with that.
"It seems like we're not hitting because we're not getting hits." - Dusty being Dusty
but I don't think he has that much upside, offensively or defensively
he really only has a lot of value at SS, where he is increasingly going to be a liability, and at age 29 there’s not much reason to believe he’ll suddenly figure it out and revert to his age 26 form.
Baseball must be a great game to survive the fools who run it.— Bill Terry
is he not worth a flier for a stopgap for next season?
who else are we going to get to play SS? if he comes cheap enough, he should buy us some time til Cozart is ready or Valaika figures it out. or they could just move BP over. duh.

Sure, he's worth the league minimum and no players
But definitely not a starting pitcher
Baseball must be a great game to survive the fools who run it.— Bill Terry
If he can really play short,
I’d take a chance. But he hasn’t played their regularly in some time and he’s definitely on the wrong side of the defensive ageing curve. I wouldn’t be surprised if his injuries have accelerated his decline.
I guess I’m more afraid of how this team would overuse him, going off memories of him killing us in 2006.
I'd say his defense this year was his best
I wouldn’t worry about his glove or his arm, but range is another question. Wherever he goes, and I think Twins and Giants could be good fits, the question is whether he hits. He’s going to have power so he doesn’t need to have a high OBP, but he can’t be grimly bad the way he was this year.
You keep defending him, and I recognize that he's not as bad as we're making him out to be,
but you can’t ignore the steadily, sharply downward trending numbers the last 3 years. He’s 29 and has gotten steadily worse since he was 26. This is not a guy you give up anyone of value for. He’s a league minimum utility guy at best.

God hates Reds fans too much for us to get rid of Tavaras like that
First time I shot her, shot her in the side.
Hard to watch her suffer, but with the second shot she died...
Can Harang or Arroyo even be traded?
If they’ve gone through waivers, I thought they couldn’t be put through again during the season.
Since they've been through they can be traded to any team at any time
They don’t have to go through again

Looks Legit
Came from the Louisville Courier-Journal. I sent a text to a scout and he said he knew it was going to happen but surprised this soon. The plan was to keep Bats in tact as much as possible for their playoff run.
So my guess is they will DL Taveras after his wondrous quad pull last night and call up Stubbs.
But again, there’s no official word yet and clubhouse doesn’t open til 3:30p
Came from the LCJ?
I don’t trust those guys.

The Bowden '98 Plan link is a fun read
To some extent, I think he tried to follow his “plan” through trades for Konerko, Casey, Dmitri. The Bret Boone trade (a few months after the article) being another example. Bowden just couldn’t get the pitching together.
The discussion about improving the scouting is pretty rich, given the weakness of the subsequent drafts.
Yeah, the plan makes sense
but it was doomed to fail due to Bowden’s complete inability to judge talent.

I was in New York at the time and rushed to the Mets ticket office when I heard the rumor. My Reds fandom had died down quite a bit in college. ’99 plus the Griffey trade brought it back.
I’d have to look into it some more, but maybe the Bowden Plan ran off its tracks due to wildly overperforming in ‘99 coupled with Griffey falling into his lap. When those things happen it’s hard to say that your’e building for the future, a la early ’90s Cleveland. Then again, if had just got some goddam pitching it may have been a happier decade.
