Let's Talk About a Bengie-Free Giants Team
by jponry on Jun 30, 2010 6:50 PM PDT
Email
PrintTell me, McCoven, how would that make you feel?
UPDATE: IT'S OFFICIAL!!! (?) !
All right, it appears to be pretty damn official at this point. The Giants acquire Chris Ray, a Randy Messenger clone (thank you oldjacket) and a PTBNL. They also acquired a promising young catching prospect named Buster Posey, who is expected to be inserted into the starting lineup immediately. I think I speak for all involved when I say, "Good deal."
This early contender for non-GDT image of the year is by rightcenterfielder.

Brian Sabean strongly encourages you to disregard the drudgery of your employment responsibilities and join him in the consumption of spirituous libations.
Todd Helton has a .318 slugging percentage. Think about that.
Bruce Bochy would like you to look at the career numbers and stop complaining.

A 3.41 ERA in the AL
he’s probably the next Mariano Rivera in the NL
He had . . .
. . . a dreadful year in 2009, and I haven’t looked yet to see if there was any special reason, but that he doesn’t seem to have been in MLB at all in 2008 is suggestive. Other than 2009, his numbers look encouraging, including this season, though one has to note rather amazingly low BABIPs throughout (once as low as .199).
Despite his nice ERA this year, his strikeouts are down and his walks up, with the ratio at a somewhat scary 1.067 and an almost equally scary 1.83 PF. It’s his absurd .205 opponents’ BA that makes his current season.
But y’know what? Who effing cares? He has the overall saving grace that he’s not Bengie Molina! Everybody dance!

Ray, 28, has a 3.41 ERA in 31.2 innings of work this season, though he has walked as many batters as he has struck out (16).

I think this speech from LOR sums up my feelings nicely
Sam: I know. It’s all wrong. By rights we shouldn’t even be here. But we are. It’s like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo; the ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn’t want to know the end… because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was, when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines, it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you, that meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn’t. They kept going… because they were holding on to something.
Frodo: What are we holding on to, Sam?
Sam: That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for.

because Treanor is pretty bad, but Texas weather will make him worse
Bengie is Puerto Rican, he can probably ride out the hot weather down the stretch. He only has to hit better than .237 to be an upgrade over Treanor, and he’s bound to hit more HR in the Ranger’s home park than at AT&T.

Harold Reynolds and whoever else was there were very skeptical.

Whiteside catches all the Sanchez starts, as usual, plus all the Lincecum starts, because he’s probably sad they traded Bengie, plus you need your BEST DEFENSE BEHIND YOUR ACE.
Posey gets Bumgarner and Zito.
Not sure about Cain. So somewhere between 6 and 9.

Two Good Bengie Related Memories
1. Last year I was at a game not too long after the Giants acquired Garko. Late in the game they needed a RH to pinch hit. When Bochy sent Molina out there instead of Garko I made it known to everyone around me that it was a terrible move and that Bochy was an idiot. Bengie proceeded to hit a 3 run jack to tie the game or give the Giants the lead.
2. At another game last season I was sitting in the players’ family section. I sat right behind Bengie’s wife and his newborn. Hard to hate on a guy too much when you’ve seen his little babby sleeping through a game.
The Giants don’t fare well against pitchers.
I’ve slept through plenty of their games

I met Bengie in person, and he was a total prince to me. A lot of the hatred of him went too far. He’s really the embodiment of several organizational weaknesses, which is hardly his fault.
Could have done without some of the complaining though.

I’m not sure if he was ever lazy, so much as a guy with bad knees for whom squatting for a whole game became too much. I was as angry as the rest of you at times, but really it’s organization’s fault for actually thinking that he was a good hitter and buying into the bunko about staff handling.

Many of his failed attempts to block balls in the dirt seemed kind of lazy to me. I suppose it could have more to do with an age-related decline in reaction time, though.

That first instance you speak of was in the 8th inning against the diamondbacks and we were down 5-2 and he hit a game tying 3 run homer. Unfortunately this was in late September after we were to far out of the race :’(.
"The criticism was so brutal that Sabean was forced to declare, at a press conference, "I am not an idiot." Thus, the pattern of Sabean's relationship to his critics was established."
My favorite ones were:
He hits a home run off of Trevor Hoffman to tie the game. As he walked back into the dugout pulling on his Giants jersey.
I celebrated hard
when he was not given arb over the winter, and I WILL NOT BE SUCKED IN AGAIN UNTIL I SEE HIM STRETCHING OUT A RED CHEST PROTECTOR.
Also, this is great but would have been a lot easier to celebrate back in December before he was RE-SIGNED AT THE SAME SALARY.

From comment at LoneStarBall
“Chris Ray has been shit this year.
And this organization has emphasized handling pitchers/calling games. All popular accounts suggest that Bengie is quite good at doing just that. If you’re worried about the projected loss in offensive production we suffer by going from Treanor to Bengie, give me break. Neither of them can hit worth a damn. The differences are negligible.
Like I said in the previous thread, I’ll withhold judgment until I see the price."
So, all the BS about him “calling a good game” at least might have helped the trade market…

I went to a game when Bonds was chasing the record, and I told everyone that if he broke the record at that game, I’d get a Bonds-related tattoo.
I’m pretty glad it didn’t happen.
None. It was before the game.
(I did get wasted and wave drunkenly at him from the bleachers. He waved back, and the entire crowd in that section of the bleachers went ape shit, including two idiot Dodger fans. He was apparently such an ass that just the act of him waving at some drunk idiot was major news.)

From Bengie's ESPN page
Spin: Ultimately, the PTBNL will determine if the Giants got much long-term value out of Molina, but Ray provides another viable power arm in the bullpen and Molina gets a chance to play regularly in an excellent home park. The added bonus for the Giants is that they’ve now cleared the catcher spot for Buster Posey.

In Urbs chat, he said he talked to Posey during spring training, and Posey said Bengie had been great with him. For what it’s worth.
I hate this argument, just from a pure debate standpoint. It’s very convenient for you, yes, but you have no way of proving that what he said was anything other than what he meant.
Don’t worry, I know I won’t convince you. But, really, it’s a terrible argument devoid of any evidence.
And your argument is any better?
Your argument assumes what players tell the media is true when we have mountains of evidence that the exact opposite is true.
My argument is based on FACTS. Yours is pure conjecture.
Like I said, I’m sure you don’t see the difference.
what else is Posey going to say?

You’re really not getting great production from CF either. Borbon’s sort of overmatched offensively, and Hamilton can’t really handle center defensively. Heading into a pennant race, you could stand to upgrade that key position. And since the Bengie deal’s worked out well for you . . .
As it happens, we do have a center fielder who, you know, can provide veteran leadership, good defense, and, you know, pretty good offense . . .

I was. I also thought you were making a joke about being half corrected is bad.
So back to Franchez. What’s bad. That he only hits 30-40 doubles. Sure that could be bad, but that’s not my point. My point was that he’s as advertised. And right now he’s above his career average in OBP and just a little below in SLG. If he turned some singles into doubles he could get a little better SLG and closer to even a career year.
You were saying something about him not hitting doubles. And I said, I agree he generally can’t hit doubles, but even this year he’s worse then normal.
BUT….
Maybe taking into account games played, he’s about average.
Which still doesn’t explain really why his SLG is lower this year than past. And that’s the only drawback compared to as advertised.
LONG.
Let's bring the...
This is easily settled:
AB H 2B 3B HR BB SF SH HB SO PA
Sanchez, Freddy 2010: 134 40 8 0 1 14 4 2 1 20 155
Sanchez, Freddy proj: 143 43 9 1 2 7 2 1 1 17 154
He has walked 14 times where 7 would be expected for the given PA total, which reduces his ABs correspondingly (he also has some extra miscellaneous stuff, 2 sacflies and a sacbunt); given a constant BA, his hits totals are also as expected. His XBH are slightly down—one HR instead of 2 HR and a triple—but not significantly given the SSS. All in all, as noted above, more or less on target for expectations.
(“Proj.” is just career stats pro-rated to 2010 plate appearances; the difference of 1 in PA totals is from rounding errors.)

Remembering this thread's title . . .
. . . “Let’s Talk About a Bengie-Free Giants Team”—let’s do just that. Consider this:
Player / Day # 1 2 3 4 5 6 ====================================================== Posey C ph C C 1B C Huff 1B 1B 1B 1B ph 1B FSanchez 2B 2B ph 2B 2B 2B Renteria SS SS SS SS SS ph Sandoval 3B C 3B ph C 3B Uribe ph 3B 2B 3B 3B SS Burrell LF LF ph LF LF LF Torres CF CF CF CF CF ph Bowker RF ph LF RF ph RF Schierholtz ph RF RF ph RF CF
Those are in addition to 3 guys on the bench whom we hope we never really have to turn to, because they are each just the second backup for a position or two. They could be Whiteside, Rowand, and—I suppose—Downs. Every day there are two “regular” players (other than those 3, that is) available for pinch hitting as required.
Almost every player gets to start 5 days out of 6; the exceptions are Bowker and Schierholtz, who each start 4 days out of 6. Posey gets 2 days out of 6 off from catching, 1 completely off and one at 1B. Pablo gets to catch a couple days of every 6, helping him keep his weight down (and giving him an impetus to work even harder at it).
Now, looking at that list of 10 key players, for whom is there a material upgrade likely to be readily available? Well, it really depends on how good Schierholtz and Bowker would be given reasonably regular play (note that they are set up as 2-on/1-off). My take is that Schierholtz might well prove out as satisfactory and that Bowker would not, but it’s hard to be sure. As I have said numerous times before, I’d willingly trade a strong young pitching prospect, such as Wheeler, for, well, for what Bowker’s fans hope and believe he is or could become.
But other than those two, Schierholtz and Bowker, for whom is there much room for substantial upgrade, the sort of upgrade that costs a lot but is worth it for the improvement? Bugger all if I see any.

I would agree with this definitely
His name is Bond, Brock Bond, and his adopted father? ME, any questions?

I have no problem seeing buster catch zito, cain, and bumgarner. I’d have no problem with posey catching timmy as well, it’s whatever he prefers I guess.

In 10 years, it would stay in your stomach and you will begin to have a stomach like Molina.

What are the odds that we will go throught this again during the offseason?
Sabean couldn’t resist himself and signs Molina AGAIN

Molina won't do it
He would state loyalty issues and how were a doomed team or something stupid. I for one would toast him not wearing the Orange and Black again. He is a very headstrong individual.

Conversation that I just had with my wife after figuring out this was real.
Me: Baby, the Giants traded Bengie Molina.
Wife: What!!!? To who!!!?
Me (thinking that she was upset about it): I think it was a salary dump.
Wife: But who would want him?
I begin to laugh hysterically.
Wife: I mean he’s fat. And old.
Me: I love you.

When I told my wife she said, "Why don't the Giants get rid of Rowand too?"
I told her there are twelve million reasons.

Listening to the rangers post game talk show
It’s amazing how highly people who don’t watch giants games think of bengie.

Probably, that or a baseball card reader.

This move also saves the Giants thousands of dollars on post-game spreads.
