Giants/Mets Series Preview
by Grant Brisbee on Jul 15, 2010 1:34 PM PDT
Email
PrintAt first glance, it seems like the Mets are contending on the backs of:
- David Wright
- Johan Santana
- A bunch of random goofballs
So I just looked at their Baseball Reference page again after writing that to see if I was being too snarky. Let’s see…Ike Davis is doing okay for a rookie…Mike Pelfrey is having one of Kirk Rueter’s good years…Angel Pagan is like Andres Torres, just more oxymoronic …I’m not sure I know what an R.A. Dickey is, but he’s taken time away from his career writing detective novels for young adults to screw around with a knuckleball…
Jose Reyes and Jason Bay are mehhing up the place, at least by their standards. Jon Niese is adjusting to the big leagues quite well. Somehow, and you can look it up, Jeff Francouer isn’t taking walks and Luis Castillo isn’t hitting for power. The team OPS+ is 95, and the team ERA+ is 108. It’s the definition of an average team, yet they’re just four games out of first place. Other than Wright and Santana, the people doing well for the Mets aren’t the stars. The team is doing alright because of a collection of homegrown-types and role players.
That’s just swell for them. I’m just not sure how they’re doing it. And I’m not going to predict that they’ll fade away, either, because it’s possible that Bay, Reyes, and a healthy Carlos Beltran will all go goofy in the second half. It’s not that the Mets don’t have talent on the roster; it’s that the talent on the roster isn’t necessarily why the Mets are in second place. It's a weird team.
Hitter to watch:
There I sat in the eighth round of my fantasy draft, wondering who to take. The wizards at CBS Sports (buy their products and/or services) had Carlos Beltran as the highest-rated player on the board. I needed pitching, though, and Ubaldo Jimenez was still there. Beltran was supposed to be back in the middle of May, CBS Sports wrote, and I knew I’d need the stolen bases. But Ubaldo was there, and I hadn’t taken a starting pitcher yet.
I chose Beltran. I stand by my decision. He’s the "Hitter to watch!" He’s going to be big – big! – in the second half.
Dammit. Also, from here on out, no one else is allowed to talk about their fantasy team because it’s really, really boring.
Pitcher to watch:
As a sucker for the knuckler, I’ve got to take some of this Dickey in. The only chance I have left to get to the major leagues is with a knuckleball – and I’ll get to practicing that right after my FIFA ’09 tournament is over – so I’m going to root for this guy in his non-Giant starts. The last time the Giants faced a knuckleballer, they didn’t flail away hopelessly like I thought they would, so maybe there’s a little hope.
Prediction:
The Giants will still flail away hopelessly at the knuckleball. Curse that demon pitch! Also, I’ll be sick of the Mets by, oh, Friday night. These four-game series are a bit much.

I read earlier today they are going to hold out Torres for one more day and with Nate not being a “proven” CF I would guess Rowand will be starting and batting leadoff.

Also since Rowand is the expert on knuckleballers (Wakefield), from Borks point o view, he gets the start.

Sabean: In a word: No. If we had signed Guerrero or [Gary] Sheffield, we would have been without [Long list of replacement level vets]—obviously not being able to field a competitive team, especially from an experience standpoint, given our level of spending.
Beltran says he’s only about 80% and he’s wearing a big knee brace. You might want to reconsider your choice.

Orange and blue . . .
. . . are the official colors of New York City, for what that’s worth (and, it seems, of New York State as well). You can see them in the State and City flags. I believe they are supposed to symbolize the joint Dutch (orange) and English (blue) heritages of both entities.

I don’t doubt that those are the city colors, but marketing to both the Giants’ and Dodgers’ recently jilted fanbases is a much more compelling incentive.

If NYC truly held its colors to be blue and orange...
…it’s entirely possible that the Brooklyn Trolley Dodgers selected blue to honor their city, while the New York Giants had the same mindset while selecting orange WAYYY back in the day.
This would make the Mets’ selection of colors from both teams a way to continue to honor their home city while paying homage to the teams that preceded them.
Logical compromise FTW?
Better to be a Giants fan than an Athletic supporter!
That clever flack was clever enough to announce the Giant/Dodger association at the logo’s unveiling on November 16th, 1961.
The connection might be obscure now, but for millions of National League fans in post-1958 New York that had hated the Yankees for generations, the orange and blue was explicitly baseball-related and only conveniently municipality-related.

Wow, the Mets have a reaalllly bad bench. Maybe not as bad as the Cubs bench, but still awful. No depth. It’s surprising they have the record they do, especially with the pitchers seemingly performing with smoke and mirrors. Johan Santana has 5.9 K/9! Pelfrey is 10-4 with only 5.5 K/9. 5th starters have been pretty atrocious until Takahashi went into the rotation. Low HR/9s abound, though.

Their bench will be stronger with Beltran back though. Francoeur will be on the bench against righties, and Pagan against lefties.

If they miss the playoffs by a couple of games, though, they will have those moves above to thank. Plus they mucked around with Mejia enough to devalue him if they wanted to enter the Cliff Lee sweepstakes. Definitely should have kept Mejia down and tried to start him. I hear that he’s hurt now, too. Starter reliever starter for a prospect of that caliber is irresponsible.

Current state of the All-Star game
so, I read today that the ratings for the all-star game was at a record low. I’ve been watching these games since ‘70 or ’71, and it’s kind of a drag that the game doesn’t hold that much interest for me anymore, either. I miss expecting to watch a good game during the break. Wondering what everyone thinks, the reason, etc.
I’ll say that it’s more a parade now than a game. The best players should stay in the game longer, like 5-6 on each team, and the starting pitcher should be allowed to go 5-6 innings. That would make it much more competitive and interesting (yeah, like an actual real game!), I think. Also, interleague play is probably killing it as much as anything, too.

I used to think fans shouldn't vote
However, I think the fan voting has gotten more sophisticated in recent years, probably due to fantasy leagues. In the old days, Evan Longoria would never have gotten to start for the AL until A-Rod retired or got traded to the Mets.
I think you could argue that this year the fans did a better job than Charlie Manuel.

His name is Bond, Brock Bond, and his adopted father? ME, any questions?
Scores for a player’s attributes, be they the traditional five tools for a position player or individual offerings for a pitcher, are graded on the 20-80 scouting scale. As to why the scale is 20-80 as opposed to something seemingly more logical like 0-100, I don’t have an answer for you, but I’m looking. Grades are given on a base-5 system (40, 45, 50, 55, 60, etc.). I know of one organization that did allow all scores (like 53 or 41), but they eventually saw it as splitting hairs and went back to counting by fives. Some organizations got rid of the zeros and grade players on a 2-8 scale.
A score of 50 is major-league average, 60 is above-average (also referred to as "plus"), and 70 is among the best ("plus-plus"). 80 is top of the charts, and not a score that gets thrown around liberally. 80s in any category are rare, and the scoring system is definitely a strong curve that regresses to around 50 at the major league level, but lower as you move down. Very few players have a 50 score or higher for every tool. Just being average across the board is quite an accomplishment.

I'm not so sure
When they signed Ramon Ortiz last year, I figured he would end up with the Giants, but they wisely kept him in Fresno the whole year, even when his stats looked halfway decent. And then he signed with the Dodgers and proved that the Giants did the right thing.

It's my blarg! Quick Pitch
And I tweet (more often than I blarg).
He doesnt have to be a player in the rotation, he can just do what he does in AAA, and i think it’s definitely fine with the giants seeing what he’s got, and working with him to get his confidence and mechanics back to where they were.
Everybody so concerned with him being brought up… you are more than welcome to call me out on it, but i just don’t see him being brought up until he fully proves to the giants he can pitch at this level
His name is Bond, Brock Bond, and his adopted father? ME, any questions?
Totally calling you on it. They don’t need another pitcher in AAA. This signing is intended to supplement the major league roster. Otherwise it makes no sense at all.

Q: Did you ever make an offer for Vladimir Guerrero?
Sabean: In a word: No. If we had signed Guerrero or [Gary] Sheffield, we would have been without [Long list of replacement level vets]—obviously not being able to field a competitive team, especially from an experience standpoint, given our level of spending.
I didn’t know the Rangers traded Smoak for Lee? Pretty steep price to pay for a pitcher who will probably be gone after the year.

It turns out I’m in this line.
He seemed to have a better approach to getting on base in the beginning of the season, but then he hurt his shoulder and… Same old story.
His patience is actually still good
He’s second on the team in P/PA after Andres. And the two of them are the only ones who are above league average.

My rule for the 2010 Giants: Everyone with an OPS over .800 gets a pass.

What was it . . .
. . . in the period before the (supposed) shoulder injury? Nertz, I’ll look it up:
April: .091
May: .080
June: .087
July: zero (?!?!)
For fun, season through June: 0.085; since then, zip. Wow. An 8.5% rate is not splendiferous, but it’s close to average (NL = 8.8%).
While I’m on the page, let’s check some other stuff, starting with power factor:
April: 1.50
May: 1.29
June: 1.00
July: 2.50
I don’t know which is more remarkable, June or July. Seasonal: 1.53 (NL average 1.56)
Hits rate (H/PA – NL average circa .230):
April: .327
May: .187
June: .174
July: .160
Seasonal: .223 – a bit below league-average
In sum, he looks like a slightly below-average batter, but the totals are affected by a fairly dreadful July to date. His July power reflects his hitting for the cycle: one 1B, one 2B, one 3B, one HR. I wouldn’t be at all surprised to find that since being dropped from everyday status, he has been pressing hard to hit with power—hence the zero walks and undue XBH numbers in July.
I’d love to see him restored to everyday status, if nothing else to find out which is the real Nate Schierholtz.

You’re right he doesn’t have the power for a corner OF I think his bat would play decently at CF and his plus arm and plus defense would be great there. And really he has been babip’d pretty hard this year because he has hit some pretty well hit balls they just ended up being hit at someone.
It's Posey time!!
Tim Flannery: Make better decisions dammit.
he’s fast enough for center, but he doesn’t always take good routes to the ball, and I don’t see another team putting him there.

The package you were throwing around earlier was a hell of a lot more than one good prospect + fringies. Wasn’t it, like, Sanchez + Neal + Wheeler +?

I value Belt higher than Sanchez Neal or Wheeler
And I said Wheeler should be a last resort, and if you include Wheeler, you don’t include Neal. But Sanchez + Wheeler for Oswalt and Berkman + cash, yes, I would.

Really, I just like the fact that Oswalt and Berkman are under contract for 2011, because I honestly think that’s the season that we’re going to come the closest to a world series.

I don’t think I would weep and gnash my teeth and render my garments if we did get Berkman and Oswalt for a package similar to the one you’re touting, but I would be fairly wary of it as well.

Old guys!

I don't care if they're old
Only if they’re good or not. Especially when they’re only under contract for a year and a half and have long histories of great performance, as both of these guys do.

Yes, but . . .
. . . what do you do then? You’ve spent your ammunition and have no future left. It’s nice to “go for it” one season, but it would be nicer to be realistically poised for it every season.

Ideally, there would be a number of consecutive seasons with a reasonable shot at a playoff appearance.

Just so.
But that’s not achieveable if the team empties the barrel every time they’ve got something in it, and empties it for older players.
If the peak-performance age is 29 (and some say it’s rather less), and a team controls a player for six years, and the average player hits the majors at 25, the math becomes fairly simple: keep every player for the first five of his six controlled years (ages 25, 26, 27, 28, and 29) then trade him for one or more prospects close to ready. (Players aged 29 who are decent or better performers will have good trade value.) Recalling that there are 25 men on a club, that means trading five men every winter. (And that’s assuming the team has stabilized at an optimum age spectrum, with five men at each age.)
That sounds very demanding, and it is. But it’s about the only way a team can stay highly competitive at a manageable salary budget.
(Were I a GM, I would nonetheless keep one over-30 veteran player, ideally a former starting now backup catcher mentoring the new guy, and one veteran pitcher for presence in the clubhouse.)
Professional baseball analyst since 1980.
That's fair
It’s like Grant said in a post a few days ago… if you don’t go for it now, when are you ever going to? Berkman was a huge question mark earlier in the year, but he’s turned it around, and Oswalt is, well, Roy Oswalt. Second best pitcher named Roy in the majors!

I’d actually love to get Oswalt. I’ve always been very into the idea of just upgrading our rotation to the point where it’s ridiculous. I’m still iffy on Berkman. I know he’s turned it around lately, but he’s not at his regular levels quite yet and an .829 OPS from a corner outfielder/first baseman is not really great.

Sanchez to the Royals for DeJesus, Wheeler to the Astros for Oswalt

I just strongly feel like Surkamp is going to be traded in a Scott Barnes for Ryan Garko esque deal soon.

Surkamp probably isn’t as good as Barnes.

One year older than Barnes was last year. Better walk rate and K-rate so far. I really don’t know why he hasn’t been promoted to Richmond yet.

I mean, I’m not saying it’s completely the same situation or anything, but Surkamp seems like an interesting pitcher and it’d be a waste to give him up for the new Ryan Garko. I’m sure you’d all agree.

It’d be a waste to give anyone up for the new Garko, so yeah.

RyRohl, please!
Downs has gotten a few starts at SS (mostly while Rohlinger was inactive for about a week due to a personal issue), and so has Burriss, but it seems that Rohlinger is getting the majority of them.
The only RyRohl I really care about is the one I’m going to put some corned beef brisket and Russian dressing on.
