Post-game Thread: Zito forgets what month it is
by Grant Brisbee on Apr 6, 2010 7:54 PM PDT
Email
PrintOf all the preseason wishcasting -- of all the what-ifs that were spread around the aging hitters who flailed in 2009, like Renteria, Rowand, Huff, Sanchez, etc... -- there’s something we missed. What if Barry Zito has a good year? After two abysmal years to start the $∞/∞-year contract, I was pleased as punch to watch Zito kinda sorta help the team on the field last year. And this season, I’m just hoping for Zito to maintain his nondescript-yet-useful thing, helping out in the middle of a rotation.
But what if Barry Zito has a good year? He didn’t get the big contract because Peter Magowan accidentally sorted his spreadsheet of free agent targets by name (Z to A) instead of projected WAR -- well, maybe, now that I think of it....that’s a pretty good theory...but, no, Zito got the money because he was a good pitcher in a vacuum of great pitchers, and the Giants needed to throw some cash around. He wasn’t great, but he was good.
A good Zito. Not a healthy, average innings-eater. But a good pitcher. Not worth the money, of course. Never will be. But good? I’m not saying it’s especially likely, but after a performance like tonight’s, it’s hard to imagine how I left this particular bit of irrational optimism off the list.
Great game. And Brian Wilson is pitching like he's ticked off that he hasn't gotten an extension yet. So, shhhhhhh. Let's keep that a secret.

Yes. Zito has value. He doesn’t get hurt. He eats about 6 innings a game. You need those players. Rowand is a waste of a roster spot.

Zito
WAR: 2.2
Value: $10.0 mil
Contract: $18.5 mil
Rowand
WAR:1.9
Value: $8.4 mil
Contract: $12 mil
Don’t get me wrong, I hate watching Rowand hack at slop as much as the next guy, but I hope we’re not overhauling all of our previous assumptions about both players based on two games.

Dunno how it would impact the calculations, but there are players behind Rowand I’d like to see play, but I’d be scared to death if the Giants had to replace Zito in the rotation.
The #1 greatest threat to America: BEARS
Part of the idea with the “worst contract” determinations is that the money spent could have been used to sign other players, including players at the same position.
Imagining the effect of benching the player is not the same as imagining not having made the signing at all.

Why is it so bad to protect Bowker early on because he cannot hit lefties well so he can hopefully have some success against righties. Torres does hit lefties well and plays some mean defense meaning he is a very good player against left handed pitchers. I really don’t see this as a big deal

I think the plan would be to let him get his feet under him as a major league starter. Bowker struggles against lefties, I think it would be better to expose him to lefties after having success against righties

I don’t get all the fuss about Posey. He could get bigger but doesn’t appear to have a great future as a power hitter. His arm according to the scouting report "plays below average". His swing looks OK, but nothing to get excited about. Sure he could hit for average with decent walking skills, but I just don’t see him being an improvement over Pablito. – Change up
I get the impression Posey is going to be a major bust to whoever picks him up. – Sofaking MIke

"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
When Grant did his posts on prospect profiles, I remember posting that Posey was the ONE guy I did not want.
although in my defense
A lot of the draft sites labeled him as a high bust candidate
Oddly enough
I think positiveeuphemism was actually the dude who flipped out the most over the Posey pick, iirc.

"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
Grant FTW
I don’t get all of the dissent on Posey. A .280/.380/.410 catcher hitter with Gold Glove defense is insanely valuable. In a BP chat, they would estimate something like that to be 8 WARP. And that isn’t crazy pie-in-the-sky forecasting, either. Crazy talk would be thinking that he’ll hit for a little bit of power, which he still might. Flip a coin for me for Smoak or Posey, but I’d be geeked on either one.

How about Justin Smoak 1b South Carolina at 5
Connor Gillaspie 3B Wichita State at 37
Both have advanced bats although Connor’s ability to stay at third has been questioned. These could be the corner infield for the giants as early at 2010.

So is Lincecum pitching on Saturday?
Most sites have him as the projected starter. Is that just an error or are we skipping Wellemeyers start because of the day off.
It would have to be Sanchez’s right because isn’t Wellemeyer #4 now?

He got pulled after beaning one of the Astros hitters. Left with 2 out, 2 on. Runzler induced a pop fly on the first pitch, inning over.
Aubrey Huff: guilty until proven productive.
Andres Torres: perfectly cromulent.
kk. then what was the injury delay for?
(i “watched” the game on gameday)
...Dr. Vader will see you now.
When I say beaned, I mean the ball came in high and tight, hitter froze up, ball ricocheted off his wrist and if it didn’t hit him in the face, it at last knocked his helmet off. It was brutal.
Aubrey Huff: guilty until proven productive.
Andres Torres: perfectly cromulent.

I don’t believe it was mentioned in the GDT, but Baggs touched on it in his Post-game Notes when Sandoval scored on Molina’s Sac Fly, it was a great play by DeRosa to tag from first and get himself into scoring position so Uribe could drive him in. Very heads up play by Mark. I like it. A lot of times that runner would just get half way and retreat to first base.
