So, .500, we meet again

You thought you'd seen the last of me, didn't you? When you left me dazed and battered on the streets of San Diego, you thought that was the end. But no, here we are again...you and I.
You know, it wasn't so many years ago I never even gave a second thoughts to the likes of you. .500? Please. I may have passed you a few times, but I had higher things in mind. Playoffs, Championships...all these were within my grasp.
But then, in 2005, you began to pester me. Everywhere I turned, there was .500. A mere irritant, I thought at first, a buzzing mosquito. May 26th was the last time I saw you that year; 23-23, just like today. And then, you were gone. Somehow you'd gotten the better of me, though I could never understand how.
The next year seemed to return to normal, with you forgotten, fading into my rear view mirror. But then you tracked me down in Washington. Perhaps it was the muggy July afternoon that dulled my senses, allowing you to knock me down and steal my dreams; dreams of playoff glory and of Armando Benitez being an adequate closer.
Since then, it's been me chasing you, never quite catching up, like a man on a treadmill...with a carrot...well, anyway, never catching up. Until this year.
You thought you'd get rid of me early, with that 2-7 start, didn't you? But I caught up to you. 8-8, 9-9, 10-10, 11-11, 12-12, 13-13...clearly this time we were well matched. It was an epic battle, an Iliad of mediocrity. For a time I pulled ahead, then you caught me again. 18-18...19-19...and then you took the advantage, but again, not for long.
There's still a long season ahead of us, .500. You'd better get used to seeing me.

As I said in the post-game recap thread
The 10-game trip in June is against teams with a combined 55-86 record. The team should be able to make hay.

I'll take it.
This time last year the Giants were 10 games under and sinking. There were a few highlights – Lincecum, the brief flowering of Bowkermania, the eventual release of Castillo – but for the most part it was a miserable season, and I’ll take 2009 any day.

The de-flowering of bowkermania wasn’t pretty.
So far, I’m having fun with this year’s team:
- They’ve improved from last year
- They’re “in” nearly every game
- It’s a team I can see improving
- They seem like a cool bunch and there’s not one guy on the team I actively dislike

I like what Kent did as a Giant, but have to like what a guy does on the field and have a little personal admiration or affection for him in order to call a guy one of my favorite players.

that's not the reason
The reason is that Bowker (and Horwitz) just aren’t that good. I mean, “probably better than Ishikawa” is not nothing to get all up in arms about.
Bowker’s 2009 projected OPS is .730-.750, with a wOBA of .315 or so. And has terrible defense. A .900 OPS at Fresno looks good, but it just not that impressive.
Horwitz is even worse.

“A .900 OPS at Fresno looks good, but it just not that impressive.”
I’m not saying everyone should be crazy about Bowker, but certainly this is too pessimistic.
It’s an improvement, and his walk rate is a sign that he’s a changed batter.
Even considering the way he played last season, I still considered him a legitimate major leaguer (more of a 4th OF-type, but still worthy of being at the ML level).
But the way he is playing in AAA could suggest that he’s an ok option as a starter in the OF… Depending on his defense.
“And has terrible defense.”
Is his defense bad in the outfield?
by AmorVincitOmnia on Jun 1, 2009 8:47 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
I put in his numbers as of today...
here: MLE
and they come out as:
.276/.369/.384, a .753 OPS. That’s slightly better than Randy Winn (a trend I would not expect to hold up), and better than our non-Panda infielders. But he cannot play the IF.
So the only reason to bring him up is to take PT from Schierholtz (better MiL numbers, younger) and Torres (can play CF…. a very mean one according to UZR).
Is he better than Rich Aurillia?? Sure, but so is a rotten log.

Different times, different situations
The Giants have clearly said that anything they do will be viewed from the long-run. Thus if they do any deals like the above, they have to think that the prospects are not crucial to the future of the club.
And Accardo has been injured and unavailable, while Martis never showed much in the minors and doing it with mirrors thus far in the majors. I think he will regress to his career mean eventually.

Still
At this point, I’m pretty sure the Jays got a lot more value out of Accardo than we got out of Hillenbrand. And if Martis pitches a couple years in the majors, the Nats will have gotten more value out of him than we got out of Stanton. And that matters. (Just like, even if Liriano is never effective again, the Twins still got a lot more value out of him in one and a half seasons than we got out of AJ. Not to mention Nathan.)

They were all off the first one when it got blown up because it was completed
