FanGraphs: Johnny Cueto’s Sophomore Season
Cueto didn't quite make the strides I wanted to see last year, but I think the winter ball and WBC innings definitely took its toll after his hot start. The author here points out that Cueto lost quite a bit of horizontal break on his slider and continues to shy away from his changeup. What the article doesn't mention is Cueto's increased groundball rate. Cueto seemed to consciously pitch to contact more last year. With a good infield defense hopefully behind him all year in 2010, that is a wise strategy.
Reds Interested In Ben Sheets: MLBTradeRumors.com
Speaking of power pitchers, the Reds are reportedly one of several teams that will see Ben Sheets throw this week, as early as Tuesday. Sheets didn't pitch at all in 2009 after elbow surgery a year ago. After Aroldis, I'm not sure what to expect from us.
Reds agree to terms with Jared Burton
The Reds avoided arbitration with Jared Burton by signing him to a one-year deal for $810K. With guys like Rhodes and Masset likely to regress after outstanding years, it'd be nice to have Burton return to his '08 form next year. With Burton settled, the Reds will not have any arbitrations this year.
Dusty Baker Destroys Aroldis Chapman's Arm Within Minutes Of Arrival | The Onion
iheartchrissabo posted this gem from The Onion. They still got it! Unlike this guy, who earnestly trots out the same old chestnuts about Baker that we've all heard.
Doug Gray's looking for a little help out West
Do you plan on seeing the Reds affiliates in Arizona or Billings this year? If so, you may be able to help Doug take a hard look at the Reds system. I'm happy to hear that Doug may be producing a Reds Prospect Guide after the 2010 season based on his travels and studies.
C. Trent's Going to Spring Training
I'm pleasantly surprised to see that C. Trent exceeded his fundraising goal to send him to Spring Training. A victory for the independent media.
Cannons in the bushes: rating minor league outfielders’ arms - THT
Our own Denis Phipps tops the list. Along with the top arm rating, Phipps also showed great range last year in Sarasota, with a great +15 TotalZone rating. Unfortunately his light bat (237/285/385) makes it unlikely we'll ever see him in Cincinnati.
Jim Edmonds 'challenges' La Russa, wants back on Cardinals
With McGwire back in St. Louis, Jim Edmonds is getting aggressively nostalgic: "I'm challenging [Tony LaRussa] to let me come back and play for the Cardinals again for free," Edmonds said to the crowd at Chaifetz Arena in St. Louis. Just be sure not to challenge Uncle Walt, Jim.
Chicago Cubs plan massive restructuring of Wrigley Field
"The project, called "Wrigley 20-14" for its completion date, includes construction projects during the season so the Cubs can use it "for another 100 years," according to President Crane Kenney. The focal point of the massive restructuring will be the long-talked-about "triangle building" to the west, a project that will include knocking down the outer wall on the third-base side to form a large open-air courtyard that would include concession areas and shops."
Padres Obtain the Hairstons
After a weekend trade in which they obtained Scott Hairston and minor leaguers from Oakland for 3B Kevin Kouzmanoff, the Padres also obtained Jerry Hairston Jr. as well. The $ figure I'm seeing for Cherry is 2.125M for one year, which sounds kind of high. But there's no price on family fun. The Gileses are so 2007!

Ben Sheets
I’m against that. I really don’t think he can hold up- I think he’s Cy Young material if he’s healthy, but I just don’t think the risk is worth it.

Really interesting trade for those of us who are into prospects.
I really like both prospects in the deal. Aaron Cunningham can hit and, although he doesn’t have big power, could be a great fit in San Diego. Eric Sogard is a fine prospect at 2B, but Oakland has some depth there. Should be interesting.

Shane Mosley/Floyd Mayweather Jr
interesting to see if Floyd the Cowardly insists on the same blood testing for Shane that he wanted for Manny. Shane, fyi, was an admitted Balco client and acknowledged he used the Clear and the Cream a few years back.

Floyd will indeed insist on testing.
Article here. Floyd, at this point has to continue to ask for testing because it presents the appearance that he genuinely cares about the future of the sport and a level playing field, not just f’in up the biggest fight of the past 25 years.. And, Mosley chimed in during the Pac negotiations that he would submit to any test, any time. At this point an early May date is likely since Berto pulled out of the fight later in the month. No way they go head to head with Pac on March 13th. Each has to build box office and PPV numbers for the next negotiation and the same date would harm all of that.

Sign the guy with the stuff and make it incentive laden. Sheets is a god when healthy
keep thinking big, Walt.
‘Course, i would have signed him to a multi-year deal last year a la the great Ron Gant. But, I’m old school and I like talented ballplayers. throw 30 million at a kid and be afraid to throw 8-10 at a veteran who was dominant and had elbow issues. For god’s sake, it wasn’t his shoulder; it was his elbow.
Make this happen, Walt.

8-10 for how long?
Here’s the problem: either he doesn’t impress and only gets a 1 year, incentive laden deal, or he convinces people he’s back on form and gets 2-3 years and much more than that guaranteed… The fact that he is a proven commodity essentially prices the Reds out of the market.

I'd do two years and a player option/balloon at three
What I mean is here’s 5 + 3 for some easily reachable incentive: (15 starts, 120 IP) and here’s some you’ll never reach (2 mill for 200 IP or 20 wins or 200 strikeouts, etc). Reaching any of the first group of incentives, makes the second guaranteed at 8 plus the same incentives.
Lastly, a player option for 12 or 13 for year three, if he met the low level of incentives in the previous two years. I’m betting/gambling that if he did, then he would either re-negotiate in year two or opt for free agency after year two for the Yankee payday, since decent starters go for way more than 13 in the open market.
Then again, I love pitchers and all, but I almost never give a pitcher more than a three deal. It takes an extraordinary guy to warrant more than three years….

as Yogi always said pitching is 90% of the game; the other half is mental."
A actual living breathing ace on a Reds staff is something I ain’t seen round these parts since back in….well ought 1993 or so when Jose Rijo was able to pitch. Why, I remember it like it was yesterday. A more than 50/50 chance to win on Opening Day….an owner who cared more about winning than telling stories about budget woes…oh, Charlie, they say those were the good ol’ days, but they weren’t always good. Sometimes, the reds finished second or a strike ruined their season. But, we had fun, mayhap we did.
You can keep the ghost of Miguel Tejada and spend the money on pitching and then somebody on some blog somewhere can look at this team’s offensive numbers and opine like a recent comment re: the Giants “I don’t know they won anything with that line-up”.

"Who is David MVP Eckstein"
That is me. I’m a sabermetrics writer.
PAP is nothing I made up. It’s something statistically proven by BP and various other sources over the years as impacting a player’s durability and injury propensity; so too, is “the verducci effect”
And I see you guys have the Jim Edmonds bit up. Check this out for why Jim Edmonds would be a good pick up at the right cost:

"It’s something statistically proven by BP and various other sources over the years as impacting a player’s durability and injury propensity"
I’ve asked this question to many people and have yet to see a study that actually proves this. I know BP claims there is some correlation, but I’ve never seen a number that convinces me that PAP is predictive of injuries.
But that’s not what I dislike about your post. What I dislike is the use of rankings for this stat. For PAP to actually work, there should be a theoretical cutoff point or a “safe number” for a pitcher is at risk. We have no idea what that number is, so more often than not we these things based on rankings. So you list Edinson Volquez as 17th in PAP in 2008 and then list him later on the surgery list. However, I have no idea what that ranking means. Volquez was closer to 50th on the list than he was to 5th in total and average PAP. So, how am I supposed to tell what is a bad level of PAP?
I’m not a Dusty Baker supporter by any means, but outside of 2 weird uses of Aaron Harang, I haven’t seen him be particularly abusive to any of the Reds pitchers. And I feel like PAP is just a case of putting a number on anecdotal evidence and calling it definitive.

And I would jump on that quote, too, for slightly different reasons.
Nothing is “statistically proven.” A factor can be a good predictor or it can be correlated with an outcome, but it is not “statistically proven” to impact anything.

by Dave from Louisville on Jan 19, 2010 6:35 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Ryan's career durability supposedly benefited from a relatively late start
At age 25 he threw 284 innings, but prior to that he had not been a full-time starter. Mark Prior, on the other hand, threw 234 innings (including post-season) at 22.
None of which is relevant to Volquez or Cueto, who are the only comparisons for how Baker may treat Chapman. Neither has reached 200 innings in a season, and more importantly, neither has reached 120 pitches more than once under Baker (120 for Cueto, 121 for Volquez).

On CNN
One of the talking heads said Martha Coakley sealed her doom when she revealed that she didn’t know who Curt Schilling was.

I don't expect politicians to follow sports,
but if you’re going to inject sports into a conversation try to have some idea of what you’re talking about. I think it’s the completely talking out of her ass which offends voters much more than the lack of knowledge about Schilling himself.

I dunno
Maybe in a normal place. But we’re talking Red Sox Nation here!

Yes, you're probably right.

more importantly, can we finally close the book on the question of "how big an ass Schilling is?"
The constant, narcissistic, self-hype in baseball terms was enough. His belief of himself as some sort of everyman god was suggestive. His injection into politics (whether I agree with him or not) is the perfect example of the rodeo clown who wants attention. Athletes, with a few exceptions of intelligent, well-read athletes (that should disqualify upwards of 90%) should stay out of politics and just concentrate on moving to Florida to avoid state income taxes.
Schilling has never been more annoying to me than he was during this election campaign. I vote we kick his ass out of the country until he shows me he’s done more homework on politics than looking at his tax return and fuming or deciding he likes Bush because Bush knew Jesus better.
Just wow.

As a noted Republican, do you think he told Coakley that he was a Yankees fan?
Did he engineer that particular meltdown? Devious!
by Brendanukkah on Jan 20, 2010 12:32 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
I get the feeling that Mrs. Coakley had never heard of the Red Sox
which is weird, very weird.
On the other hand, I could see my 12 year sports-hating daughter growing up and never knowing who played for the Reds, except for Junior (they have the same birthday and Dad has mentioned it a million times).
Worse to imagine: that some person who voted thought the Schilling gaffe would be important enough to switch to a Brown vote!

you're probably right

Justin’s over at Gaslamp Ball right now, very confused, but he thought you said we should check them out if you like historians.
