Brad Penny

If you throw out the Dodgers start in LA:

4-0, 1.15 ERA as a Giant in 6 starts

If you just throw out the first inning at LA:

1.51 ERA as a Giant in 6 starts

Acceptable.

I really like Uribe and managed to root for Penny, but Uribe has never been this good in his life, and Penny has vastly outperformed his fundamentals. Of course, if the price is right, I’d welcome both.

Proud member of the Adopt-a-Giant program (Aaron Rowand)

by antinous on Sep 30, 2009 9:45 PM PDT up reply actions

yeah he has actually

but would you really not accept a typical year’s performance from him as a bench player? He can fill in at all of the infield positions, and given that he can usually hit at least a little, that’s pretty valuable. Bench players are helpful. And the Penny part is just ludicrous. Do you have any kind of stats to back that up?

by boonitez on Sep 30, 2009 9:51 PM PDT up reply actions

Uh, sure

Coming into today’s game – will have to wait for tomorrow for stats – he has pitched 32-2/3 innings, striking out only 15 while allowing 5 homers. Of course, the 8 walks are nice (nicely low). His BAbip has been .204, or about a hundred points below expected. This is exactly the same pitcher who put up a 5.61 ERA for the Red Sox.

Coming into today’s game, Juan Uribe has hit .297/.337/.501, with an OPS+ of 116. His career best year was .283/.327/.506, with an OPS+ of 111. His career OBP is .299. On a rate basis, this is the best year of Uribe’s career.

Ludicrous? I think I’m pretty damned right.

He is still pretty acceptable as a 4th/5th starter. But is he going to ask for 4/5 starter money? IDK.

Proud member of the Adopt-a-Giant program (Aaron Rowand)

by antinous on Sep 30, 2009 10:03 PM PDT up reply actions

To me he seems to have changed his approach at the plate for the better. Maybe he was intimidated by the dimensions of AT&T and for the first time in his career he has hit more ground balls then fly balls, without losing his power, maybe with his “new” skillset he he can stay a high average hitter, not quite this high but .280 ish. Or it could all be a fluke but he looks so strong at the plate now.

Penny has a 4.90 FIP with the Giants but only a 3.31 ERA (prior to tonight). The main reason? An unsustainably low .206 BABIP. But I wouldn’t expect the Giants Brazz to understand that.

I don’t think he’ll be either. I believe FA status is based on said player’s performance over the last two seasons. He was injured and bad in 08’ and he had a horrible stint with the Red Sox this year.

Yea, it’d shock me if he was either after missing all the time last season and then a month this season. One thing Elias does go heavily on is being a regular player, right or wrong (that’s something I agree with, personally).

Its a slang phrase. Jay-Z has a good point of view on offensive words, although he was talking about a different word. You just need to subsitute sexism for racism and it fits nicely, me thinks.

"People give words power. For our generation, what we did is that we took the word, and we took the power out of that word. We took a word that was very ugly and hurtful into a term of endearment," Jay-Z said. "We pretty much took the power out of the word. If we just start removing words from the dictionary, they’ll just make up words the next day. So we don’t address the problem. The problem is racism, that’s really the problem."

Bowtie says

According to Schulman:

Before the game, managing general partner Bill Neukom said he expects the Giants’ active payroll to rise in 2010.

“I anticipate that in terms of actual dollars of people playing for the Giants between the lines, it should be an uptick from this year,” said Neukom, who did not divulge a specific amount. It is not expected to be dramatic.

Moreover, Neukom said, the Giants will deploy “360-degree radar” in the trade and free-agent markets in search of talent for next season. Asked if that means the team would consider one of the few wildly expensive middle-of-the-order hitters expected to be free agents, he said without mentioning names such as Jason Bay or Matt Holliday, “I wouldn’t rule out anybody at this point.”

At the same time, Neukom said the Giants have a “finite amount” of money for payroll, a standard caveat that does not usually apply to teams such as the Red Sox, Yankees and Angels, who might join the bidding.

No matter which players the Giants consider this winter, Neukom said, the same formula will apply in evaluating them – and here is the caveat on the big-money hitters:

“At the end of the day, the question is going to be, Would this person significantly help us and make us more likely to be a winning baseball team, competitive to contending?” Neukom said.

“What’s it going to cost us in money? We have a finite amount of money to spend on this. Can we afford the money? Can we afford to give up the talent we would give up to get this person in a trade situation? Does acquiring this person (place a) lid on some talent we have coming up? Finally, what does this addition to the roster mean to the chemistry of this team?”

Neukom suggested Penny will be considered for 2010.

by esseffgeez on Sep 30, 2009 11:37 PM PDT reply actions

I have no objections to any of this. It mostly sounds like Crash Davis’ Handbook of Cliches, Owner’s Edition, but it doesn’t raise any red flags for me either.

Come on, Neukom! Realize Bocheabean aren’t the way to go! Do it! Do it now!

Giants wins feel better than Dodger losses, but it's darn close.

Yeah, the Neukster is vaguely saying things we want to hear from him, at least with respect to the 2010 roster. He sure talks about money a lot…I hope he realizes that Bochybean has cost the ownership group a lot of $$ that they’ll never see any sort of positive return on and let that be the basis of his decision on whether to resign the Dynamic Duo or not.
