- Louisville Courier-Journal: Bats season preview
The Louisville Bats are coming off of two highly successful years, and manager Rick Sweet can't wait for the new season to start. A few reasons why: Yonder Alonso, Todd Frazier, and hopefully soon, Aroldis Chapman. Sweet also mentions potential position changes: Frazier and Juan Francisco to the OF, and Chris Valaika to 2B. Seems to me that either Frazier or Francisco should be playing 3B. (HT to RL Nation) -
Fay - Reds sign Kip Wells to minor league deal
Wells pitched 46 cromulent innings for the Reds last year, with a 4.66 ERA that was probably a bit lucky given his peripherals. I don't expect that he'll be given a serious shot at the Reds' rotation in ST. Also, Fay reports that there's nothing new on Gomes. (HT to Crolfer's FanShot) -
THT - Albert, Dusty, and the shift
After reviewing the new splits feature on Fangraphs, Cardinals fan Chuck Brownson concedes that Dusty Baker was right to employ an infield shift against Pujols last season. Pujols is unquestionably a complete hitter but hits far more groundballs and with less power to the left side of the infield. - Big League Stew - Snuggies and skateboards lead list of 2010 ballpark promotions
The Reds will have a few interesting promotions this year. There will be a Joey Votto action figure day (May 29). Even better is the grass seed day (April 24), when fans will receive bags of Scott's Great American Ballpark grass seed. Once that grass is mature, be sure to set a Reds garden gnome (August 14) on your lawn. -
MLB FanHouse - These Ex-Prospects Face Watershed '10
Homer Bailey and Jay Bruce are among those listed. I buy it with Homer because he's out of options and needs to show he can stick in a big league rotation. But Bruce is a year younger and seems to have the team's near unconditional support. In any event I'm confident that he'll hit better this year. He struck out less and walked more last year, despite seeing more breaking pitches than his rookie year. -
Big Hurt decides to call it a career
Frank Thomas has announced his retirement after 19 years, 521 HRs, and a spiffy 301/419/555 slash line which is a 156 OPS+. I don't care how many games he played as a DH (and it's not that much; close to half his career was at 1B), that's a Hall of Famer.
Tom Glavine also announced his retirement and will take a front office job with the Braves. 4th highest career win total for a lefty, with 305. - Maury Brown - Inside a Tim Lincecum arbitration hearing
Happy Arbitration Day! Easily the biggest hearing will involve the Giants' Tin Lincecum, a Super 2 seeking a 13M payday. The Giants countered with 8M. If I had to pick a winner, I'd take Timmy. While teams win most arbitrations, superstars have a better track record. Ryan Howard had a similar profile entering his Super 2 year, coming off a ROY and an MVP. He won 10M.
Had the Giants kept Lincecum down in AAA for another month in 2007, they could've delayed this ordeal for a year and saved themselves whatever Timmy gets minus the league minimum. Of course, they may have only won 70 instead of 71 games that season. The team has offered Lincecum a 3 year, 37M contract, which seems very low. Keith Law suggests: If Lincecum knows there's something wrong with his arm, he should take the offer, but otherwise, I'm wondering if Sabean got into Timmy's stash.
The Brewers and Corey Hart are also headed for arbitration. The respective figures are 4.15M and 4.8M. -

A lot of the credit seems to go with the decisions not to re-sign Joel Pineiro and Rick Ankiel, which makes some sense. I still think they were bidding against themselves for Matt Holliday.
Also, shortstop Brendan Ryan underwent wrist surgery and may not be ready for Opening Day. This could be a real drag on the Cardinals because Ryan had a pretty good year in 2009. If Paul Janish could turn into Brendan Ryan minus the mustache, that would be fine with me. - Wrigley to host 3 summer concerts: Elton John, Billy Joel, Dave Matthews
Chicago's poultry fornication isn't limited to baseball decisions. For the city's sake I hope Dave Matthews will produce something less foul this time he visits Chicago. But I doubt it. The Dave Matthews Band — whose bus driver notoriously unloaded 800 pounds of human waste on a tour boat passing under the Kinzie Street bridge in 2004 -- is expected to headline Friday and Saturday night concerts in September.

too much hate for dave matthews around here
he makes good music and is good friends with buffett! so what if he looks like tom hanks?
also, i would love to go see the elton john/billy joel concert. unfortunately, the few times they’ve been through cincinnati, the ticket prices were way too high.
You forgot the Rosales connection with DMB
I disagree that he makes good music. That his “peak” coincided with my college years makes him particularly unlistenable for me.
Elton John had some great songs. Is it in fact unfair to criticize a formerly great artist for his latter day sins? Is it better to burn out or fade away?
A great writer once wrote:
“Better pass boldly into that other world, in the full glory of some passion, than fade and wither dismally with age.”
I think I wrote that
last year in an Adam Dunn thread..

Agreed 'tHan
I feel like he’s the victim of stuff outside of his control. True, he’s WAAAAY overplayed in college dorms, (at least he was in the late 90s) but that’s hardly his fault. Just like it’s not Bob Marley’s fault that every 18 year old suburban toolbag who likes to smoke weed has a poster of him.
Fact is, Dave is a good songwriter, fantastic rhythm guitarist, his drummer is probably the best drummer in all of popular music, and he’s been putting on pretty exciting live shows for 20 years. I also think his latest album has some really good stuff on it.

Agreed on his drummer and nothing else
Carter Beauford is an absolute beast, but DMB is still way overplayed and the music of choice of people I can’t stand, which in turn makes me not be able to stand them.

so, my suspicions are confirmed
when people say so and so sux, they really don’t like them because of the fanbase.
That's a pretty broad generalization
I don’t like DMB’s music. I consider it faux-folksy and I’m not a fan of masterbatory jam sessions. Music is obviously subjective and people who are far more musically sophisticated disagree with me. That’s fine. If they were rarely played and lightly followed, I would be merely indifferent to DMB.
But yes, their popularity and fanbase contributes to my dislike of the band. If that makes me a shallow music fan, so be it. I do not reflexively dislike all popular bands – Coldplay is wildly overplayed, but they also have some terrific melodies. I don’t see the same artistry with DMB.

I'd say you are in the minority, as far as thinking of a band (mostly) for the music and not the extra stuff surrounding them, like the fanbase.
It’s one of my big frustrations that people have such strong opinions about music, but they wouldn’t admit that most of their musical tastes are socially and environmentally based. Everyone thinks they are open minded about music, but few are.
I’ve never been in a frat, I drove an ‘86 Chevy Nova in HS (in the mid 90s), and I’ve never smoked weed, yet I really like DMB. Part of that is the friends I had who got me into him, which again, speaks to the social aspect of things.
Still, they are all (except the fiddler) really good musicians, the saxophonist (RIP) was extremely creative and the improvisatory aspect of their stuff made them really unique. I can see not liking his voice, or the super long jam sessions. OTOH, the energy at their live shows is incredible. Also, sometimes it gets lost in the mix, but he really does write some catchy tunes and guitar riffs, and anybody who’s ever actually watched him play would have to admit he’s a very skilled guitarist. (I’m looking at you, Mads)
You’re right, musical taste is extremely subjective, but let’s all stop this condescending bullshit about music that we happen to not: care for/understand/know anything about/identify with. None of those things make it bad music.
OK, rant over (except one last thing: Lady Gaga writes some damn catchy tunes.)

FTR, the Reposter headline was purely a cheap shot at the Cubs

I know, and I wasn't really railing at you. Your post was just the unwitting victim of a reply to a bunch of comments on this thread.
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it. -Aristotle
Yes of course they are all pretty skilled musicians... so are thousands and thousands of other players.
Proficiency, while important, is a dime a dozen characteristic in the world of pro music. I don’t want to defame Dave’s playing…ultimately his music and playing doesn’t catch my ear…and his ‘groove’ is not one that i can ever seem to feel. But that’s why there are all kinds of musicians and all kinds of fans. I am supporting your comment that music from esp. the listeners point of view, is completely a subjective experience. for my money Dave’s playing is lacking…for nycRF is hits the nail on the head. that is what happens in the world of Art and Music…It is not quantifiable like baseball or selling or race car driving…
Artistry is an interesting term when applied to Coldplay or DMB…I need a definition of Artistry.

Both of them are what they are
Not the most talented in their genres of music, but both are very solid and neither overpower the rest of the music and dominate it. They complement the music and provide the backbone without standing out, and even if it’s not the most creative technically, it doesn’t take away from the music. There’s more to metal drumming than blast beats and speed (which by the way, Lars is deceptively fast).

truthfully, the Yahoo stuff was a bigger risk than Facebook
for bringing in trolls just because of the nature of the partnership. Facebook isn’t really a partnership as much as a way to make it easier for people to sign up and share links, but you’ve been able to easily share links on Facebook for a while. So, maybe we’ll get a few extra people to sign up that wouldn’t have now that it is easier, but I don’t expect to see nearly as much happen because of this upgrade compared to the Yahoo partnership.

Back to baseball:
That Hardball Times article is interesting in that Dusty was one of the only managers to employ the shift on Pujols last year, and it was seemingly a smart move. ’
Don’t know if this was because Dusty read some advanced metrics or if he just assumed Pujols pulls all the time (probably the latter) but it’s still kinda cool.
Also, it’s nice that Glavine is retiring…now Maloney can start to catch up on win totals. Only 303 to go!

Any predictions for the #5 SP?
Seems your options currently are:
Enerio Del Rosario
Aroldis Chapman
Carlos Fisher
Sam LeCure
Mike Leake
Justin Lehr
Matt Maloney
Micah Owings
Alexander Smit
Jordan Smith
Kip Wells

Only Lehr, Maloney, Owings and Wells are believable options at this point
"aaron harnann is so aweseom" - justin
I wouldn't rule out LeCure or Fisher at this point
Del Rosario
Smit
Smith
also all have starting experience in the minors, so who knows?
by Highlifeman21 on Feb 12, 2010 11:25 AM EST up reply actions
I won't rule out LeCure, but I think Fisher is a bullpenner
He would have started some at point if not. I think Travis Wood and Mike Lincoln are more likely than any of the 5 guys you listed there. EDR was a bullpen guy last year exclusively, and Smit and Smith haven’t pitched over AA, so I think it’s hard to imagine one of them getting the spot over a Maloney type. These aren’t Cueto types we’re talking about, where they could jump into the rotation with a great ST.

He needs to pull a Cueto to do it, but I think it's unlikely
I think they’d like to see a little bit more in Louisville before putting him in the rotation every 5th day.

Sounds prudent
I just know I’d rather see Maloney, Owings or Wood (in that order) before Lehr, Wells or Lincoln.

Sure, I'd rather see Owings, Wood or Maloney (in that order) than Wells, Lincoln or Lehr (in that order)
But the Reds bringing back Kip Wells gives me this really bad feeling that he’s a stop gap guy for the beginning of the season to give the kids some more time until sometime in May, then all bets are off.
by Highlifeman21 on Feb 12, 2010 12:21 PM EST up reply actions
i figured thye brough him in to work in Louisville
They may be an arm or two short for their AAA squad, and want some extra expendable pitchers, so they don’t have to move anybody up from AA before they feel they are ready.
If the Reds cut Wells from the big league camp, it isn’t like he has many options, he will probably have to choose between going home and Louisville, I highly doubt he has any other chance of pitching in the majors, at least out of spring training.

The Bats position changes
are interesting. I guess they don’t think Valaika can cut it at SS.
And Frazier and Francisco to the outfield. I guess that means our infield is set.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Well it kinda is, no?
From the FO’s point of view, they have their starters cemented and Janish and Miles as backups.

Not sure what it means for 3B.

Yonder played 3B some in HS and college.
I don’t know how good he is defensively – couldn’t be worse than END.
Yonder in LF…hmmmmm…interesting.
I’ve thought/heard that he wasn’t an outfielder but who knows..

I like it
I think it means that Cozart is definitely the guy at SS. I’m worried about who they put at 3B if they put both Frazier and Francisco in the OF.
"aaron harnann is so aweseom" - justin
I don't think both Frazier and Francisco will be in the OF, at least not at the same time
One or the other will probably be manning 3B. I’ll be more interested to see if they give Frazier more time at 2B
And yes, Cozart surely is the guy at SS. He spent a whole season in AA and did well, and he’s got a superior glove to Valaika.
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it. -Aristotle
I don't like moving guys down the defensive spectrum unless its necessary
If nothing else it decreases their trade value. If some team was convinced that END is a good enough 3B, it might not be a bad idea to trade him before the logjam.
do teams move players down the defensive spectrum just to fill holes?
Doesn’t seem like it would make sense.
This debate came up about Andy Phillips a lot. Some thought the Yanks moved him from SS to 1B because they were set at SS, 2B, and 3B. Others said he was moved because he was a butcher at 2B and 3B.
I have to assume they don’t think Valaika can handle SS. It’s not like we have a hole at 2B. Though I suppose they could be anticipating BP moving on.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Valaika can't handle SS
Not according to scouts or defensive metrics. His arm is ok, but his range is weak, and that was when he was in his early 20s. As he gets older it’ll only get worse.
There was talk of him maybe handling SS for a couple years for the Reds, but with his bad year and Cozart’s good one it seems like Cozart has jumped ahead of him on the depth chart for now.
And if they are anticipating BP moving, I think they’d probably rather see Frazier there.

So what's the likely Louisville lineup?
If Nix comes north over Heisey things get crowded:
C Denove / Corky
1B Alonso
2B Valaika
SS Cozart
3B Francisco or Sutton / Burke / Cairo / Bolivar
LF Francisco or Dorn

I think Francisco still gets some time at 3B, just because they need someone to play there
And they’ll rotate guys like Burke, Bolivar, and Eymann in as needed.
"aaron harnann is so aweseom" - justin

C Denove
1B Alonso
2B Valaika
3B Francisco
SS Cozart
LF Frazier
CF Heisey
RF Dorn/Platoon
Of course, I’m still thinking Heisey has a good shot of making the team out of ST, in which case Nix could be in this picture if he accepts the assignment.
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it. -Aristotle
BTW, if that is the lineup, they very well could win 90 games

That is a great AAA team.

Point taken on the double cheeseburger. We typically ordered the specialty type burgers if the place offered them, on the premise that no one could possibly screw up a double cheeseburger.
I tried to have a bacon cheeseburger when possible since that’s my favorite and it made it easier to compare between places. I have some ideas for standardizing the comparing this year for BBQ, I need to get off my ass and write the fanpost.

For this meeting of the burger minds, I’d rather go to whichever the 4 of you think is the best burger in Cincinnati, and put it up against Zip’s. I mean really, why go back to Mt Adams B&G if you all hated it so much?
As for BBQ, you’ll need categories.
I recommend the following:
Brisket

Beef Ribs
Chicken
Pulled Pork

I only ordered a cheeseburger with light mayo, mustard and light onion at every burger joint. That way I was able to taste and compare each ‘core burger’ and really gang, that’s where the rubber meets the road.

Thus why I always go with a double cheeseburger with extra cheese when I'm checking out a place for the first time
That’s my test.
The 2nd time, that’s when I add the mayo.
3rd time @ a place, then I check out signature burgers, and other toppings, etc.

hard to say, since no one has been to spring training in Goodyear yet
Reports from the Indians fans last year suggest that access to players is much lower than it was in Florida.
If it’s anything like Florida, your best bet is to show up early. Players are most likely to sign during BP, before the game starts. They are not supposed to sign during the game, though occasionally someone will. A player or two might stay after the game as well, though often the starters have been pulled by then.
It’s considered bad form to harass them in the parking lot.
I would guess that tickets will be easy to get. In Florida, I only had trouble if the Red Sox or Yankees were playing, and I’ve heard attendance is lower in Arizona.

Players at Ed Smith were pretty easy to talk with. You could walk down to the 1st row and start up a conversation with most guys( during pre-game warmups) for 2 or 3 sentences to 3 or 4 minutes.
No idea on how the layout is at Goodyear.
There was a lineup board that sat out in front of Ed Smith..with the day’s line written on it.

Fay's prediction of the Red's bench
Hanigan
Miles
Janish
Nix
In my opinion you do not need Nix is you have Dickerson, and there is no fucking way Balentien isn’t on the 25man.
Miles will make teh roster out of ST, but I see Frazier squeezing him out around the end of May.

Frazier won't come up to sit the bench.
Only way he comes up is to start in LF or at 3B.
Agreed, though, that Nix is superfluous and Balentien makes the team, possibly as the starter. Of course, that list still needs one more OF so that could be Wlad. I suppose I wouldn’t mind Nix as the 5th OF, esp. if Dickerson is going to get significant time starting in LF.
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it. -Aristotle
Yeah, someone's gotta be that 5th OF
I’d wager to guess the Reds would go with Nix to start the year, though he is redundant considering the skillset / splits.
If the Reds do sign Gomes and he makes the team, I wonder what happens to Wlad. Seems pointless to relegate him to being a 5th OF, though he would be a power PH bat off the bench.

why do we need 5 outfielders?
In a pinch, you can send Votto out there for one game until somebody gets called in from Lousyville. Now if you are looking for a pinch hitter, I’d rather see if we got anybody who can hit lefties, no matter where he plays on the field. Of course, we do have Owings.
Thankfully, for idiots like you, our forefathers gave us the second commandment – the right say whatever you want no matter if you’re wrong. — Unknown, for the most part
Speaking of 'in a pinch'
One of the main reasons Nix may make the 25. He hits doubles and HRs and is a decent LH PH.
Owings certainly has some pop from the RH side.
Miles – weak sister
Jannis- Who?
Hanigan – love him but not much of PH threat
Wlad…don’t whats going to become of him esp. if Gomes comes back.
Really its going to an interesting spring with Frazier, Heisey, Wlad, Nix, END, Sutton, Miles, and Yonder all getting looked at seriously by Walt.
I will not all be surprised to see Gomes signed next week by the Reds.

If the Reds are smart he's not
Why waste the $?
Go get more pitching with that $
by Highlifeman21 on Feb 12, 2010 4:50 PM EST up reply actions
I think it's a product of carrying 12 pitchers
which seems excessive, but I think the flexibility afforded by having a mop-up guy – if leveraged properly – is more valuable than having a 14th position player.
So then you’ve got a bench that’s 4 deep after you make room for a backup catcher. Ideally, you’d have a couple super subs that you could put anywhere on the field, but the Reds don’t have anyone like that immediately in the running for a roster spot. At least two infielders is a no-brainer, with at least one of them having the defensive chops to play short. So allowing for at least one back-up OF (who should probably be able to play CF), you basically have just one swing spot to assign.
The Reds are going to have two weak-hitting infielders on the bench already. Depending on who’s playing in LF on a given day, I’d say their biggest need is probably for a power bench bat who can hit left-handed pitching, especially if Heisey doesn’t come north. That’s most likely going to be an OFer. Ideally, that player could also play 3B. I think all signs point to either adding Gomes or making Nix the 5th guy.
This is my own heretical take, but I’d favor Sutton’s upside over Miles and see if he can be a super-utilityman. Then you’ve got Janish and Sutton as IF back-ups. Even if Gomes makes the team, have him start out as the PH – LHP specialist. Give the bulk of LF starts to either Wlad or Dickerson and then wait for the cream to rise in Louisville. No one occupying LF to start the year with the big league club has a future there – and maybe not past May 2010.

Because he fills a need on the bench
but perhaps paying him 500K over league minimum to be a bench player is wasteful. I just think his skillset would be more useful than adding Nix. Wlad and Dickerson would both be there, with one of the two getting 60-70% of the starts in LF.

Gomes is not a proven bench asset
He’s not an effective PH
He’s too slow to be PR, doesn’t steal bases
Not a defensive replacement either.
Either he there to play pretty much everyday or why waste the $$$$.
Sutton < Frazier, but Frazier has to play everyday…
'The secret to chili is you gotta have good mooseburger in there."

Well he'd likely see starts against left-handed pitching
but the Reds would benefit from having power bat who can hit lefties on their bench. Gomes fits the bill. The alternative is to bring up Heisey I think.

This bench would at least least eliminate redundancy
If Balentien is your starting LF, then you’ve got:
Dickerson – good defense, OBP and can play all three OF spots
Gomes – PH, possible starter, power bat, hits lefties well
Sutton – can play 2B or 3B, corner OF in an emergency
Janish – backup SS and defensive specialist who can get on base against lefties

pinch hitting
Part of my problem with the Reds roster in the past couple of years is generally that when the game gets to the 11th inning (that happens, I think) that we are out of bats.
Dusty tends to use up pitchers in peculiar ways, not all of them bad, but we seem to have a lot of games that require pinch hitters that we can call on to END a game, not extend it.
Frankly, I would just right now go looking for guys who have proven pinch hitting skills (there ought to be data on that) and make sure they get enough swings to stay fresh.
That way, we avoid having to use our closer for 3 innings into the 12th inning. Far too many Reds games just wienered out because there wasn’t any “pop” on the bench.
So, outfielder, cornfielder or whatever, we have enough position players who are equal enough in skill that we can just look for someone who can actually win a game for us off the bench.
Thankfully, for idiots like you, our forefathers gave us the second commandment – the right say whatever you want no matter if you’re wrong. — Unknown, for the most part

are out of bats in the 11th inning, and there is nothing wrong with that.

My point
Is to find somebody on the bench who can win the damned game before it gets to the 11th inning. If our choices are Janish and Owings, then after that, hope the wind picks up … we just need somebody who can be a game-breaker off the bench.
Is this a player who doesn’t exist unless he’s a “candidate” to play frickin’ LEFT FIELD? Do all our pinch hitters have to be “fifth outfielders?”
Thankfully, for idiots like you, our forefathers gave us the second commandment – the right say whatever you want no matter if you’re wrong. — Unknown, for the most part
I seem to recall
The stat-heads saying that pinch-hitters really don’t matter. That is, there’s little difference among pinch-hitters, except for pitchers vs. position players (and in the case of Owings, even that might not apply).
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
well maybe
But we keep going over and over and over again this vapid list of left fielders and it looks like damned near all of them will end up on riverfront76’s next list of “really bad Reds players of the 21st century.”
Find somebody who can play left field, then get a couple of hitters who can pinch hit … let’s win a frinkin’ pennant for a change and stop worrying about whether a rookie has an upside to his trade value by playing full time at Lousyville.

and perhaps my horse is dead after this reply … this list of left fielders is nothing more than list of guys who are left over. (And Aaron furkin’ Miles is gonna help this team in WHAT way?)

If Heisey can hit

see, this is the issue
As a fan, none of this makes any difference to me. I want the Reds to win games. If Heisey is the guy, let’s put him on the field.
This about controlling somebody’s contract means damned squat if we finish 5th. This nurturing crap is fine for fantasy leagues.
You folks are buying into this contract schmontract stuff. We put some stiff in left field because our best player is still young and we have time to wait.
Bull.
Fifth place, coming up.
I am so happy Heisey can have his way with International League pitching. Me? I will have to settle for the left fielder of the week.
Thankfully, for idiots like you, our forefathers gave us the second commandment – the right say whatever you want no matter if you’re wrong. — Unknown, for the most part
as a fan
I want the Reds to do the smart thing. Especially since I don’t think they’re going to contend this year.
They did it with Jay Bruce and they did it with Homer Bailey – started them in Louisville, then called them up in late May/early June. Maybe Charlie’s right, and they won’t bother to do that with Heisey. But I have no problem with it if they do decide to do it. A small market team has to play the clock game. It’s only a couple of months.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Or 60 games whichever comes first
Thankfully, for idiots like you, our forefathers gave us the second commandment – the right say whatever you want no matter if you’re wrong. — Unknown, for the most part
I don't think of Frazier, END, Heisey or Bladdy as leftovers.
I think of them as guys who should be playing every day, and I’d be OK with giving any of them the starting LF job for 40 games to start the season.
But Bladdy is the one out of options, and 40 games of playing every day at MLB level will tell us if we have anything in him. So I think he makes the most sense in LF.
What did you expect? It's the internet. Some of us are full of crap.

Fine, then that's the answer
I was looking for … do we have a real left fielder or just a bunch of guys with LF stamped on their passports?
If Bladdy can play left field, then put him there and try to win a damned pennant that way. If he can’t do it, then get somebody who can.
But fer crying out loud, let’s stop reloading the “list” every day and speculating, worrying about some guy’s “clock.”
Problem is, we’ll keep platooning and tinkering.
