Community Projections: Todd Wellemeyer
by Grant Brisbee on Apr 1, 2010 9:44 AM PDT
Email
PrintTwo years ago, Dave Duncan selected the youngest goat from his herd, donned the crimson robes, and ascended to the altar. The incantations were few but expertly inflected. The shimmering lake of oil turned red, and Todd Wellemeyer was submerged past his shoulders. He didn’t expect it to burn so much. He thrashed about, screaming, as the incantations grew louder. After ten minutes -- or was it a full cycle of the moon? -- the ritual was complete. Duncan had transformed another journeyman starter into a productive member of a major league rotation.
If you have a better explanation, I’d like to read it. In comes Chris Carpenter, out goes Cy Young. In comes Joel Pineiro, out goes a magical, sinker-throwing force. In comes a wild, hard-throwing enigma like Todd Wellemeyer, out goes a strike-throwing, hit-preventing model of back-of-the-rotation success. Wellemeyer’s 2008 was unexpectedly productive.
Then Duncan ran out of goats.
Wellemeyer’s 2009 was awful, just awful. His walk rate spiked back up, his strikeout rate shot down, and he allowed an average of 3,239 hits per inning pitched. He comes to the Giants as a placeholder, and while he doesn’t have the pizzazz of a Randy Johnson from last year, or the expensive Pedro Martinez/John Smoltz types who didn’t find a team in the offseason, he’s not Madison Bumgarner. Wellemeyer will get a long leash because of that -- he’s the anti-Molina, taking the place of a prospect who isn’t ready.
Projections from around the way:
ZiPS: 5.05 ERA, 133 IP, 91 K, 55 BB, 19 HR
Bill James: 4.78 ERA, 79 IP, 58 K, 38 BB, 10 HR
CHONE: 5.17 ERA, 141 IP, 94 K, 59 BB, 20 HR
PECOTA: 5.25 ERA, 105 IP, 61 K, 39 BB, 12 HR
It doesn’t get much more meh than this, folks. While I’d rather watch Kevin Pucetas or Joe Martinez for rooting purposes, and while I would have rather had one of the half-dozen more interesting/expensive options, this is the very definition of a fifth starter. Here today, probably gone tomorrow, so we can only hope for some near-average innings in the interim.
Todd Wellemeyer
ERA: 5.19
IP: 156
K: 79
BB: 64
HR: 16
Yeah, I’ve used that joke before, and I’ll use it again. Besides, it’s almost exactly what I would have predicted in the first place.

The stench will always be present, but occasionally it will reek so much that fans in the first several rows of seats will pass out. Those fans will then be rolled by yours truly and going to Giants games will unexpectedly become a profit venture.

I’m hoping for a 4.50 to 5.00 ERA and earning enough of Bochy’s catchertastic, vetgasmic respect to start twenty to twenty-five games.

But I think that we need to come up with a nickname for Todd.
‘The Count’ could work: his shoulders always look ridiculous, like he’s trying to hold them up extra high.

It is a period of civil war. Fred Lewis was just DFA’d, the evil Giants’ Front Office having won yet another victory against the rebel Lunatic Fringe. However, during the battle, McCoven spies managed to steal secret plans to the Front Office’s ultimate weapon, the VETERAN CONTRACT EXTENSION: an armored two to three year contract extension with enough power to lock up any over-the-hill veteran on an entire planet.
Pursued by the Front Office’s sinister agents, Princess BaronVonCurrentEvents races home aboard her newly fixed car, custodian of the stolen plans that can save her people and restore freedom to San Francisco…. And when Chewbacca came in his sleep, it got fucking everywhere….

Good luck.
I know you nerds know NOTHING about the real game of baseball, or any other athletic endeavor requiring teamwork under physical stress.

Well, I guess that explains why I have the beard of a 19 year old.

It was really a subtle and beautiful moment of assholism.

I think the quote was something like…
“With Bumgarner it was kind of a thing where he wasn’t with us through the offseason to work out or stay on a regimen because of his… uh… his want or need to get married, so he wasn’t where he needed to be.”
But the quote just isn’t good if you can’t actually hear the disdain in his voice when he’s saying it.

Wow.
Brian Sabean strongly encourages you to disregard the drudgery of your employment responsibilities and join him in the consumption of spirituous libations.
He is such a dick.

even though it’s none of Sabean’s business, a 20-yearold baseball player should not be getting married.

It’s not a terribly good idea for most 20-year-olds in any profession or non-profession to get married. But I can’t begrudge them for wanting to. And really, some of them do very well. Even the athletes. Good for him for being happy, at least, regardless of the wisdom or lack thereof of his choice. Maybe he knows something we don’t. Maybe he doesn’t. Either way, he and his wife will figure it out pretty quickly.

yea, because he couldn’t have his own life, really? REALLLLLLY? that’s a ton of bullshit, and Sabean should just allow them to do whatever the fuck they want, because obviously there’s going to be a problem if they can’t have their own life and do what makes them happy, they obviously know what they have to do, and that’s play ball, why should it matter what they do in their personal lives

Wait, really? I find that shocking. Do you have a link for the interview? Is it on KNBR’s site? I’d like to listen to it.
I've given up on adding to my Giants family and am coming to grips with remaining childless.

I’m sure that KNBR will have a link to the interview pretty soon. They always seem to.

Just scroll down a bit. I’m not sure how far in the quote is yet.

Sabean calls it a “lesson learned” and claims that Bumgarner “went stray” from the team.

I just listened to it. Wow, that was rude. “Want or need to get married”? “Blessing in disguise”? Let the 20 year-old get married and just say he’s having mechanical troubles. Way to toss him under the bus for no reason at all.

He also said it won’t take 94-95 wins to win the division but closer to 86.

That’s flat-out delusional. The Dodgers and Rockies both won over 90 games last year and neither has gotten significantly worse.

Riding it? I actually thought you meant with Sabean’s head on the horse’s body.
