Giants/Diamondbacks Series Preview
by Grant Brisbee on Jul 22, 2010 2:49 PM PDT

PrintSpoiled. You are all spoiled. Last year some of you complained about Bobby Howry. This year it’s Denny Bautista. That’s the big problem in the bullpen – a guy with a 3.49 FIP and overall positive value? Sure, he’s ridiculously wild, and the FanGraphs link up there suggests he’s been even worse in high-leverage situations. But if he’s the biggest problem on the staff, there probably isn’t a tremendous amount to complain about.
Bautista even has a positive WAR right now. By contrast, here are the WAR rankings for some of the Diamondback relievers:
Chad Qualls – Civil WarJuan Gutierrez – The Taiping Rebellion
Blaine Boyer – Falklands War
That’s how bad it’s been. Brother against brother. State against state. Qualls against the sensibility of Arizonians. The Diamondbacks'best reliever, Aaron Heilman, hasn’t been that bad, but he’s probably still around a Ladejarl-Fairhair Succession WAR ranking. It’s been ugly. And here we are, complaining about Denny Bautista.
The Diamondbacks represent a substantial fear of mine. What if, after drafting the right guys, making some good trades, and building the farm system up, everything goes wrong? The Diamondbacks had so many prospects at one point, they could afford to trade a half-dozen for Dan Haren, and still fill just about every position with a premium-yet-cheap young player. I wake up at night, sweating, after dreaming of a world in which the Giants take five years to collect all sorts of young hitters, only to allow 900 runs in a season because of injuries, general wretchedness, and bad luck.
I thought the Diamondbacks had it figured out, and that they would be the team to beat for a while. Whoops. This whole team-building thing is hard.
The vaunted youngsters mostly have been just okay instead of great. That goes for Stephen Drew, Chris Young, and, this year at least, Mark Reynolds. Carlos Quentin was traded, and Conor Jackson came down with a horrific illness. Poof. That’s how quickly a top farm system can turn into a team OPS+ of 93. The best hitter on the team this year was a Braves castoff. Actually, the best hitter on the team by OPS is Dan Haren. That’s kind of how the Diamondbacks are rolling this year.
Unless things turn around the next couple of seasons, the Diamondbacks will just be another entry in the Hall of Great Unjustified Fears Fame. The best comparison is the Padres back in the Sean Burroughs era, but I’ve already mentioned them here and here in reference to the Diamondbacks. The first link hints that, gee, I’d love if the Diamondbacks went the way of the Nady/Bozied/Davis/Burroughs-led Padres farm explosion. The second link says, hey, it’s not quite time to say the Diamondbacks have gone that way.
It still isn’t quite time to make any stronger proclamations of doom, but the odds aren’t looking good for the potential Diamondbacks dynasty that I worried about for so long. And if loving their struggles is wrong, brother, I don’t want to be right.
Hitter to watch:
In an offseason filled with second base options – Orlando Hudson! Felipe Lopez! Freddy Sanchez. Dan Uggla! – the answer was Kelly Johnson. Kelly Johnson. We appreciate all of the other entries, but the answer was Kelly Johnson. Dang it. When people complain that BABIP is a silly stat, please point them in the direction of Johnson. I’d trade Freddy Sanchez for him, and I’d even throw in Mark DeRosa.
Pitcher to watch:
Dan Haren is still striking people out, and he still has fantastic control. He’s also allowed a crazy amount of home runs, but I’m going to guess he’s just as good as he ever was, despite a 4.60 ERA. So let’s all enjoy watching him from the bench. Neener neener neener. I love not facing a team’s best starter in a four-game series.
Prediction:
I’ll probably figure out a way to reference the Sean Burroughs-era Padres in another post next year. Those guys really freaked me out. It’s a good thing none of them panned out, but that doesn’t really feel so comforting now that we’re getting drubbed by this collection of punchless goofballs.

From Wikipedia
Flay is an Iron Chef on the show Iron Chef America. In 2000, when the original Iron Chef show traveled to New York for a special battle, he challenged Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto to battle rock crab. After the hour battle ended, Flay stood on top of his cutting board and raised his arms in premature victory. Not realizing that cutting boards and knives are sacred in Japan, he offended Morimoto who criticized his professionalism, saying that Flay was “not a chef”. Flay went on to lose the battle.22
Flay challenged Morimoto to a rematch in Morimoto’s native Japan. In this battle, at the end of the hour, Flay threw his cutting board on the floor and stood on the counter yet again to raise the roof with the audience. This time, Flay won.22 Though they share a heated past, Flay and Morimoto, who are both Iron Chefs on Iron Chef America, are now friends.23 They even teamed – and won – against fellow Iron Chefs Mario Batali and Hiroyuki Sakai in the Iron Chef America: Battle of the Masters “Tag Team” battle.
Utter frustration and futility.

holy shit I didn’t realize just how huge the rest of A-Rod’s contract is. Jesus Christ.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
He’s signed for another seven years with a minimum of $174 million coming his way. In reality, it will be more than that, as he has $6 million bonuses to be paid out for hitting 660, 700, and 714 home runs, and another $6 million each if he ties and breaks the all-time HR record. If he stays relatively healthy and plays the full seven years, he could collect an additional $30 million on top of the already too-high salaries he’s due.
this even puts the Zito/Rowand contracts into perspective
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.

The Yankees would sell out with or without A-Rod, so it seems fairly irrelevant in their case. They, of all teams, aren’t hurting for extra revenue.

Wow. I was a little kid back then, I used to watch this show every week in taiwan that breaks down the weapons and aircrafts used during the war. It was awesome seeing Mirage III in action, and debating its capabilities vs FRS1.
If memory serves, the Argentines worked the British in Air combat.

Dumbest. War. Ever.
Basically Argentina sent in special forces to take out the 57 British marines there and impose Argentine control on the island. Spanish language signage was put up, and the locals were put under house arrest.
Then the British showed up, asked them to leave, they refused, and 650 dead Argentines later, the Falkanders were back under British control as they wanted to be in the first place.
Britain had controlled the Islands for centuries, and Argentina basically just went to war because they felt they had a right to the land (based on Geographic proximity I guess).
In the 60’s Britain had even tried, together with Argentina to persuade the Islanders to depend on Argentina. They wanted to stay Brits, as that is what their heritage (for the most part) was.

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.
Apparently, Britain fought Germany in a naval battle during World War I there. Kind of strange.

Have you noticed that Rowand has trouble with the same pitch that Schierholtz does? The curve or slider that breaks away from Rowand, and in toward Nate, gets ’em every time. Sad.

Nope
Gotta be the D’backs in the AL. When we finally get 32 teams, with 4 divisions of 4 teams in each league, then the 8 teams in the West need to be divided evenly. Making the ALWest go to Seattle would be balanced by making the NLWest go to Denver. Having both Phoenix and Seattle wouldn’t be fair, travelwise.

Too many miles, travelwise. KC is even further away from, say, Anaheim. KC, StL, Dallas, & Houston might need to be in one division, but that’s arrangeable(sp?).

I’m still coming to terms with mlb22 being a lady. I mean, it’s the 21st century, mlb22 can be a guy, too. Basically, without a face or sound of the voice, I’m easily confused about gender over the internet.
thank god, i was beginning to wonder if first pitch was gonna come before scooby and velma figured it out :)

Is mlb22 a lady? I guess that makes sense. The default assumption around here is dude, unless someone’s name is gender specific like GiantsBabe. I make that assumption, too, even though I’m a lady. Or woman, anyway.

i’m relieved that mlb22 is still a guy… I had pictured Paulo Costanzo from Road Trip this whole time and didn’t want to have to change my mental image to Paula Abdul.

Tintin in Soviet Russia or whatever… not racist but certainly McCarthy-esque in it’s anti-commie propaganda value.

Oh...try
the Blue Lotus
Tintin in America
Tintin in the Congo
BTW: Spielberg is doing a Tintin film?
Oh I am not denying the racism... but hey, it was the 30s
THIS however was facinating:
The most serious instance of anti-Semitism, however, featured in The Shooting Star (1941), which appeared during the German occupation. In a scene that appeared in Le Soir on 11 November 1941, two evil-looking Jewish men, Isaac and Salomon, watch Philippulus the Prophet inform Tintin that the end of the world is nigh. One of them, speaking in very twisted French, looks forward to this as it means that he will not be obliged to pay off his creditors.3 In addition, the sponsor of the rival expedition sent to find the meteorite is called Blumenstein, is given the appearance of a stereotypical Jewish businessman and uses underhand and potentially lethal methods to delay Tintin’s ship. His bank is located in New York and his crew attempts to plant the American flag on the meteorite.
Take note: This is NOT in the version of The Shooting Star that I read in the 80s, and now my son has!

It’s funny how the Chinese are portrayed realistically in The Blue Lotus but the Japanese are caricatured. Easier to tell between the good and bad Asians! Also, I fear that the Tintin film will suck. It’s going to be mocap, so it’s already iffy.
EXCEPT
Herge was a nazi collaborator, so that would be backwards!

Burroughs era Padres
Were managed by Bruce Bochy! The way he handled the young players, not only set their development back but drove some of them in to the ground. Especially Nady, he’s had some very productive years when healthy, but Bochy yo-yo’d him in and out of the lineup every time he had an 0’fer, sound familiar. Your fears are real.
