Google Image result for "No Sweep":
I...words fail.
I really, really think that the Padres are a miserable team, so a sweep would be quite the thumb in the eye. There's no shame in losing to Jake Peavy, but that still means a decent team should take two out of three. And there is great, painful shame in losing to Scott Hairston -- the kind of shame that doesn't scrub off with a little Lava soap. Deep, burning shame. Shame all over your face as a loved one walks through the door, aghast, horrified at the pungent, dripping shame across your shamed visage.
So on Timmy, on Pablo, on Travis, on Bengie. Win a damn game.

Oh boy
Velez in center. I guess if there’s any day to do it, it’s a Timmy day.

Seriously
I mean, I’m sure that Bochy knows that
A) Schierholtz offense > Velez offense.
B) Winn defense > Velez defense.
C) Schierholtz’s future is more important to this franchise than Velez’s future.

I’m not sure Bochy actually knows any of that.

re
I am not sure that even if those are true, that they are so much greater so as to many any difference in the team this yea or the future of the franchise.
Pedro Feliz would look great in Dodger Blue.
Wow
I have no idea what you just said.
Adoptive parent of Noah Lowry. Because he was awesome once, and, goddammit, he shall be awesome once again!
I hope.
ok
Basically, while Nate’s offense may be better than Velez, it may not be much better. Winn’s defense in center is better than Velez, but it may not be that much better. And Schierholtz may very well not be an important part of the team’s future.
Pedro Feliz would look great in Dodger Blue.
ok, BUT
while nate’s offense may not necessarily be much better than velez, it is most certainly not worse. winn’s defense may not be that much better than velez, but it is most certainly not worse. And schierholtz may not be a part of this teams future, but velez almost certainly is not.

hmm
Question:
Assuming Schierholtz is not good enough to start in RF for a contender, how much value do you think he has as a reserve? Might, because of his speed and “versatility”, Velez be more valuable as a reserve?
Mostly, if two players aren’t very far apart in talent, playing the lesser player isn’t an idiotic decision by an means. Sometimes, coached just play hunches or want to see what a player can do. Schierholtz is pretty much a known quantity, but I doubt the team believes that it knows what it has with Velez.
Pedro Feliz would look great in Dodger Blue.
never answer a question with another question
so that’s what i’m going to do.
is it impossible that schierholtz becomes a player that’s good enough to start in RF for a contender?

Let’s find a contender and ask them.
NL West TempestTeapot
Nothing matters , and what if it did?
by victor frankenstein on Apr 12, 2009 1:03 PM PDT up reply actions
nope, not impossible
But the same thing is true of Velez – he is probably just as likely as Nate to develop the additional skills he needs to be more than a role player. And he has a skill that Nate clearly can’t develop, absent a trip to BALCO.
Pedro Feliz would look great in Dodger Blue.
Velez provides no defensive value. Schierholtz does. The only thing Velez has going for him is speed, but he dosen’t steal bases well and is a terrible outfield defender. What is this value you speak of?
Joe Martinez: My fingers are crossed and my palms are together for you.
When it's all said and done, America will be remembered for three things: The Bill of Rights, jazz, and baseball.
defense
Schierholtz’s defense is questionable – he has an average RF arm and OK range with not great routes and instincts.
Velez showed the ability to steal in the minors and may be able to learn major league pitchers with some experience. Like Schierholtz, he may also learn to be an acceptable defender. I remember watching Nate take some seriously bad routes in San Jose. Sometimes, it just takes a bit of experience. He can play 2b, albeit not very well, but presumably better than Nate. Positional flexibility does have some value.
Mostly, my point is still that both of them are probably career backups and playing one over the other is not a big deal at all. Especially if you are trying to see what you have in one of them.
Pedro Feliz would look great in Dodger Blue.
They’ve never given Nate a chance to show what he can do in the bigs, and his ceiling is likely higher than Velez’. My point is, Velez was very not good last year and they still don’t know what kind of player Nate can be.
Joe Martinez: My fingers are crossed and my palms are together for you.
When it's all said and done, America will be remembered for three things: The Bill of Rights, jazz, and baseball.
ok...
But why would they give him a chance? His minor league numbers do not lend one to believe that he will be an average MLB RF. Remember, he was playing in the PCL.
Sure, I might have started him over signing Rowand, but that assumes that Winn is an average defender in CF. I don’t really think he is, but some people do. If you [Sabean] believe that Winn is not a MLB CF, then you would be faced with the prospects of three OF [Lewis, Nate, Winn] who are perceived to be below average defensively and two who are unproven with the bat.
Pedro Feliz would look great in Dodger Blue.
You give him a chance because the other guy has proven himself to not be a good ML outfielder.
Joe Martinez: My fingers are crossed and my palms are together for you.
When it's all said and done, America will be remembered for three things: The Bill of Rights, jazz, and baseball.
to clarify
By chance, I might as opposed to signing someone last offseason. Rowand, while the contract sucked, has a track record of success in MLB
Pedro Feliz would look great in Dodger Blue.
He has a track record of being mostly mediocre, and then two pretty good seasons.

re
He has put up some pretty good numbers since the Giants acquired him, with the only blip being in AA. Nate wasn’t exactly stellar there either.
Pedro Feliz would look great in Dodger Blue.
Uh
He was good as a 24-year old in Low A ball, and he had a small sample size of good success in Fresno last year. That is not a good player.
GROUGTHINK ALERT
Chatterbalks dot com: Still with jokes. Now with updates.
I disagree strongly
As befits a former 3B, Nate has an excellent arm. I think he’d be an excellent OF for us. But we’ll never know until we give him a chance. That should have been last year, but we wasted that opportunity.
Young is exactly the kind of pitcher we need Nate hitting against. I find Bochy’s decision indefensible.
Sergio Romo: striking out professional hitters since 2005. And winner of the 2012 NL Fireman of the Year Award!
last year
Were I Sabean, I probably would have handed him the RF job and seen what he could do. [Frandsen too, for that matter] But that isn’t what Sabean does. However, just because I gave him the job, doesn’t mean I think he would have succeeded.
If given 600 AB’s, what do you think he would do?
Pedro Feliz would look great in Dodger Blue.

So, what's worse
Velez in CF or Uribe at SS?
Adoptive parent of Noah Lowry. Because he was awesome once, and, goddammit, he shall be awesome once again!
I hope.
Velez in CF because Nate needs PT way more than Velez does.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
PABLO SANDOVAL AM STEAL DEATH, DESTROYER OF WORLDS.
I think I’d rather see Torres then Velez.
So there’s at least two better ways to get Rowand some rest.
Randy Winn is going to catch that. And he'll do it real classy-like too.
Velez in CF is definitely stupider. But I’ve, now for the first time, realized that the guy who’s OBPed over .301 only once in the past seven years is actually going to, you know, play once in while.
Now that I think about it, why not just have Burriss at SS, Velez at 2B, and some combination of Schierholtz, Winn, and Lewis in the OF? That would be a big improvement on offense (Nate>>>Uribe), about the same defensively, and would have more kids playing.
Adoptive parent of Noah Lowry. Because he was awesome once, and, goddammit, he shall be awesome once again!
I hope.
And one last thing
Even if you insist on playing Velez, why not hide him in RF and have Winn play CF? Or put him in LF and have Lewis play CF?
Adoptive parent of Noah Lowry. Because he was awesome once, and, goddammit, he shall be awesome once again!
I hope.

Schierholtz must have pissed someone off in giants management. The man just cannot buy a start. If they HAVE to start velez, why not shift burriss over to SS, velez at 2b (which, i know, he’s gonna get killed at anyway, but anything to get oooooribe off short), and have nate take right? And if we’re just giving up on the game today, which we apparently are, why not just rest freddie too, or rest winn, and throw in torres? The Bochster strikes again

I’d be curious to see an FB velocity graph from last year to this year, and over the course of last year. I am not sure that there would be any difference, but it might be interested. Same with Cain in his first year, vrs last year.
Pedro Feliz would look great in Dodger Blue.
That would be interesting, but I’m not a computer, so I don’t have the stats.
