For Your Consideration: A 2010 Depth Chart

Will Reds braintrust decide to drink the Hi-C?
After a lustrous winter of moderate-to-low interest in my ratings-challenged critical darling, Toward a 2010 Depth Chart series, I've culled the results into a final product. The following "is" an "optimized" 25 man roster, depth chart and lineup based on a synthesis of exhaustive Red Reporter polling, discussion and my own fillings-in of the gaps.
The biggest point of contention here is probably left field. Voting did not reflect the fact that most of Red Reporters core members would probably like to see Wlad get the bulk of starts at the outset of the 2010 season. However, I think there also may be an equal case to be made for Dickerson to start about 70% of the time, in which case either Johnny Gomes or Chris Heisey could start against lefties. The proposed roster below represents a third way, in which Heisey and Dickerson share left field. This compromise solution may not make the most sense from a developmental standpoint, but it would likely provide the best defense and on-base skills of all the possible permutations. It would also allow Wlad to fill the much-needed role of power bat off the bench.
My personal opinion is that given relative skill-sets and ceilings of the leftfield candidates, each of these three scenarios is acceptable in the short term - though the Reds should favor roster construction that puts a power bat who can hit lefties as at least a part-time bench option. Dickerson is the primary starter, but it could just as soon be Wlad I think.
So go ahead to strike up one of these two timely George Harrison-penned tunes:
"Tax Man"
"Here Comes the Sun"
Crack a RedLegg Ale (Too literal? and Is this a good beer even?), put some Skyline on the boil, light some incense in front of your lifesize Sean Casey door poster and kick back with this list of names of Reds players arranged in different configurations. Pitchers and catchers report in less than 48 hours, so time your overnight drunk in such a way that you end up miraculously in Goodyear AZ , unable to remember how you got there, but sufficiently buzzed and ready to fully appreciate Kip Wells long tossing to bullpen catcher Mike Stefanski.

Lineups
These were constructed using guidance from the lineup tool at Baseball Musings. The slash lines I'm using were made by triangulating CHONE, Fan projections and my own observational biases. I used platoon splits only for platoon players, with the exception of Jay Bruce. Either fulltime starters do not have serious splits, or consistency in lineups for regulars is probably about as important as micro lineup tweaking around the margins. Most important for the Reds, above going strictly by The Book , is to (1) put guys on base in front of Joey Votto, (2) play to the hitting strengths of Bruce, Phillips and Rolen. It's also worth considering how much elements like Cabrera's "bat control" should be weighed.

Voted "No" b/c Drew Sutton's on the roster
And Laynce Nix is not
I don’t see Sutton making the 25 man out of camp. I do, however, see Nix on that roster.
Yep
I also see Gomes on that Roster
Wlad moved, traded or AAA
Will Hi-Z make the squad, if so he sits.
Frazier over Sutton
Sorry no way is Maloney the 5 SP
Lehr over Fischer

Hate to say it,
but we didn’t acquire Aaron Miles to DFA him or send him to AAA. If so, he’d have been dumped just like the A’s did with the Virus.
He’ll be on the roster.

Dear God,

If you’re as benevolent as everyone says you are, please let Aaron Miles make the 25 man roster of the Cincinnati Reds this year, and make sure he receives #23 to wear. This should be a piece of cake for a guy with you connections.
Love,

Wlad can't be in AAA, he's out of options IIRC
I do not see Gomes as a Red, since it seems the best offer we’re making him is a minor league contract with a ST invite.
I agree that Maloney is not the 5th SP. The 5th SP will be Kip Wells.
I’d prefer Fisher over Lehr, since Lehr would really only be a long man and we have one of those already (Owings), whereas Fisher actually brings something to the table. I don’t think Lehr brings anything to the table.

My Roster is definately not my preferred roster
Its my best guess as to what Walt and Dudsy will come up with.
Wlad is out of options then I don’t see him as a Red..unless he rocks in ST and Gomes doesn’t sign.

I don't see another infielder on the ST invite list
with as much upside as Sutton that would also be acceptable to sit on the MLB bench this year. They may not have the nerve to dump Miles, but I think it would be wise. It also might not matter too much — and I’m pretty sure Sutton has an option.

Ahem, Miguel Cairo
I guess it’ll be a fight to the death between Sutton, Miles, Cairo, Valaika, Cozart and Chris Burke.
Aside from Cozart, that’s 1 big pile of yuck and suck.
by Highlifeman21 on Feb 17, 2010 12:11 PM EST up reply actions
I think you can strike Cozart and Valaika
from the list, they’re not going to be sitting the bench. Cairo is 35, so I don’t so a lot of upside there. If you’re putting him on the roster, you might as well keep Miles and not have to say you’re dumping $2.7MM.
Burke is coming up on 30, but he might still have potential for improvement. But I don’t see much point in having another weak-hitting SS on the roster when Janish plays better D and could probably get on base at about the same rate. Sutton’s advantage is that he can hit for a little power, enough to where he could still at least be a decent 2B-3B backup in the majors, with some breakout potential.
Where Sutton is 26, Miles is 33 – with a lifetime SLG of .356. If they’re carrying Janish – which they should – they ought to have another infielder with a little pop, rather than one who might have roughly the same offensive profile (and a worse season at the plate last year) and far inferior defense.

Also, looking back at your original roster proposal...
I think we’ll see END instead of Heisey, which then allows the possibility of Sutton, although Sutton would truly be the 25th man on the roster.
If Heisey makes the team out of ST, then I think END makes the roster instead of Sutton.
But I really don’t think Heisey will make the roster just to ride pine.
by Highlifeman21 on Feb 17, 2010 1:08 PM EST up reply actions
Neither will Juan Francisco
My roster would have Heisey playing 30%-40% of the time and END playing fulltime in Louisville to start the year. I’m not in love with a LF platoon, but I don’t think it’s any worse than Wlad starting fulltime or Gomes and C-Dick platooning. Heisey is definitely good at hitting lefties. It makes the most developmental sense to keep him in AAA – but at the risk of sounding like a broken record, he’s too old to worry a whole lot a bout that. I don’t think he gets the same “full time or bust” treatment that Alonso should get. His transformation into a top prospect has been a windfall for the Reds and, given their logjam, they need to start putting some of these guys to the test very soon or trading them while the stock is high or they get “exposed.”

What's the reasoning behind that move?
Why has LaRussa done it in the past, and why’s it being suggested here? This seems like something I should already know, but I don’t.

Lineup optimization metrics
Have suggested that batting the pitcher 8th maximizes run production.
by Brendanukkah on Feb 16, 2010 11:11 PM EST up reply actions
I wonder if that's why LaRuss does it, though
He may have his own reasons.
The Pirates have done it as well.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
LaRussa first did it when McGwire was in St. Louis
he wanted a “Second leadoff hitter” in the 9th spot so there would be more people on base when McGwire came up to bat.
by justin007000 on Feb 16, 2010 11:24 PM EST up reply actions
Interesting.
Couldn’t you make the argument that it’s not much different from batting McGwire 4th and just putting your #9 guy in the 1 or 2 spot? I mean, after the first inning, it’s just a loop, right? If anything, this seems more likely to give the pitcher’s spot more at-bats overall… ooh, which might be the reason it works, because if you double switch, your pinch-hitter types get more at-bats than your #8 hitter, who’s probably pretty weak anyway… [yikes. raving now. lineup construction confuses me.]
Anyway, I’m curious why these “optimization metrics” found that this kind of lineup was effective. I probably wouldn’t understand such an explanation, but my interest is piqued.
by the finest muffins on Feb 16, 2010 11:32 PM EST up reply actions
JinAZ
explains it a bit here.
And there’s a lineup construction tool here. Plug in each players OBP and SLG, and it will generate the ideal lineup for you.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
yeah i just plugged in fake stats
with what seemed like a responsible lineup for a major league team. The best lineup averages to score 4.427 runs/game and the worst lineup scores 4.035 runs/game.
So the best lineup would score about 717 runs a season and the worst lineup would score 653 runs a season, creating a 6 win difference. But you have to assume the worst lineups include the pitcher leading off, and what not, and most managers will not construct the very worst lineup, so within what would be considered acceptable lineups, it will probably only be a 2 or 3 win difference.
by justin007000 on Feb 17, 2010 12:53 AM EST up reply actions
and that's why they say
Lineups really don’t matter that much.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Yeah
I don’t think it’s possible for Dusty to do anything too egregious on that front. However, if you eek out a win or two for free, throught lineup optimization when they cost $4MM or so on the free agent, you oughtta do it.
The only really objectionable thing Dusty’ll probably do is bat Cabrera #2 or Hernandez #5. It’s kinda boneheaded not to set up the lineup so that you maximize Votto’s likelihood to hit with runners on, putting your highest OBP 1-2 and sticking Hanigan, Janish or Cabrera in the 9-hole.
