Post-game thread: Giants keep win for themselves after trying to donate it
by Grant Brisbee on Jul 23, 2010 10:42 PM PDT
Email
PrintBack in the Jose Castilo era, when the Giants were mixing veteran detritus with quasi-young detritus to make a pile of lineup refuse that couldn’t hit a left-handed Brett Tomko, it was easy to feel sorry for ourselves. The Giants hadn’t had an All-Star hitter come up from the farm since Bell Biv DeVoe was going platinum. Even worse, the organization wasn’t even lucking into anything of value. There wasn’t a Rule 5 pick that stuck, a minor league free agent who defied the odds, a 12th-round-pick made good, or a washed up veteran who had a dead-cat bounce in the twilight of his career. Every hitter that came through San Francisco stunk. Woof. It wasn’t pretty.
Where were the flukes, the late-bloomers, the veteran surprises? Where, oh where?
Karmic debt, repaid. The Padres just might win the division behind a handful of slappy scrappies, but that doesn’t mean that this season hasn’t been a lot of fun at times. Torres and Huff. Huff and Torres. Both were afterthoughts in March. Both have been among the most valuable players in the league so far this season. Amazing. I won’t complain for a while now.
And on the Bell Biv tip, I probably should have listened to "Poison" before my fantasy draft this year, when I drafted Pablo Sandoval over David Wright. Never trust a big butt and a smile, indeed.

Revolver is the best Beatles LP. The Buzzcocks only got good after DeVoto left. Metallica was no good with Dave Mustaine. The only good McCarthy LP is their last recorded with Laetitia Sadier. Green Day didn’t hit its stride until Tre Cool replaced Al Sobrante. I could go on, and on. A band’s first lineup is rarely its best.
Pink Floyd’s, however, was — because Syd Barrett was the only thing about Pink Floyd that interests me.

Ballplayer \= money
Edgar Renteria is a good ballplayer. When he was injured, he was not a good ballplayer. None of that has anything whatever to do with his salary or whether he is cheap or expensive as good middle infielders go in MLB. As someone once said, you can’t play 18 million dollars at shortstop.
The question of who, if anyone, that was at least as good but notably cheaper was available at the time is very different; I believe that it has been done to death on other threads, but once again: a player’s cost does not affect his quality as a ballplayer.
Professional baseball analyst since 1980.
I’d say he was a good ballplayer three years ago. Since he’s been with the Giants, I haven’t seen anything but a player who looks like he’s playing on a planet with a different gravitational pull. He’s around average for the position, and that’s being generous.
by Grant Brisbee on Jul 24, 2010 4:04 PM PDT up reply actions
What are we speaking of?
His defense only? Or his value as a shortstop? His defense is right at average nowadays, at least according to Baseball-Reference’s “Total Zone” rating. As a batter, his value is quite decent for a SS, somewhat above average.
Would I prefer Furcal or Tulowitzki or Ramirez? Sure. Am I unhappy with Renteria? No, nor should anyone be.
Professional baseball analyst since 1980.
What are you defining his “value” as? Because regress his current BABIP, and you get 2008-2009 Renteria.
I was promised lasagna.
If you regress his BABIP . . .
. . . you subtract exactly 3 hits. Wait, I need a cold compress for the shock.
Here are the lines through yesterday:
Man AB H 2B 3B HR BB SF SH HBP SO PAIn short, not counting however today altered things, Renteria is short 9 TB—not what I would call a drastic difference. A couple of dingers and that’s fixed.

If properly used (and there is only, like, 2 uses), Velez can be a value add on this team.
Not that Rohlinger shouldn’t be up and has 107 more uses than Velez, but bunting and pinch running are two decent uses of Eugenio Velez, and he should be able to do both of those better than Bowker or Rohlinger.
As long as he never gets sent up to actually hit or field, I’m ok with it.

According to a major-league source, the Giants were well along in talks with the Royals on a deal for outfielder David DeJesus, perhaps finalizing the details, when he crashed into the fence at Yankee Stadium on Thursday night and tore a ligament in his right thumb.

Don't Agree on DeJesus
I think a .300/.360 guy that is left handed, a good outfielder and has some speed would have been a very nice add. The question is who they would have given up. Obviously not either Sanchez or Bum. (For those of you that think more highly of Sanchez than Bum, I have one question: Why?) But if they could have traded one of their left handed bats (Schierholtz or Bowker) and a lower prospect pitcher or two (such as Pucetas) It would have been a nice get.

But if you think about the type of pitcher Jamey Wright is, where he’s pitched, and the adjustments that go into ERA+ it makes sense.

If we’d known what FIP was back in 2003…
I still remember them hyping the hell out of Damian Moss at FanFest that year because he was inexplicably difficult to hit his rookie year (he had one game where he threw a no hitter into the 7th inning but had to be taken out because he had like 7 walks.) They were like, “FUTURE ACE!!!”

ahaha Schulman's game story
[Huff] trudged into the dugout after batting practice and said, “That was bad. I’m going to go 0-for-4 with four Ks.” He then hit two solo homers against Jackson, his 18th and 19th of the year, to break a two-week long-ball drought. He also singled home a run in the ninth.
“Jackson’s always been tough on me,” said Huff, confessing he actually had an “epic” batting practice. “The first one he made a mistake on. I cheated on the second pitch. He’d been busting me inside all night, so I stepped into the bucket and went all in.”
That sixth-inning homer curled inside the right-field foul pole thanks to a “stay fair” dance that Huff did as he jogged toward first.
Huff just keeps finding new ways to be entertaining.

Totally broke my inner tension, which was pleasing.

I just watched 2010 tonight instead of the 2nd half of the game
Anyway, in the special features it shows Peter Hyams (director) communicating via electronic messages to Art Clark (we’re tight – I do seances). So they were basically emailing, but it was this giant keyboard with a screen that was about 3 inches across and that is how they discussed the script. It was cool but you would think the Giants would insist that Sabean stop using the same type of device.

No it doesnt
DeJesus is a damn good major league outfielder. I dont for a second believe Belt was in the deal. I don’t want to lose Neal, but if I can get a good left handed bat with speed and solid defense that is not a 6 month rental, I’m thinking long and hard about it.
Not gonna happen so it doens’t matter. But DeJesus probably was the best combination of filling a need without having to give away too much on the board.
At this point, I’m looking for a left handed reliever and that is it. No one else on the board will be worth the asking price.
This is encouraging
Because it shows that
1) Sabean knows what kind of player we need
and
2) he knows not to trade members of the starting rotation

Peguero better than Brown? From a BA chat (emphasis mine)
Virgil Dahl (Waterloo, Iowa): Matt; with San Francisco graduating Posey and Bumgarner to the majors, and their remaining top prospects stalling somewhat, could Francisco Peguero jump from number l0, to number 1?…is there a chance he could make your top l00 list? Based on your handbooks description of Peguero, and his perfromance this year, it suggests that he could provide the spark at the top of the Giants line-up that they sorely need. Could he be compared to Juan Pierre, with more pop, and a much better arm? thanks
Matthew Eddy: To say the least, I think Peguero will have a hard time hurdling Zach Wheeler and Brandon Belt in the Giants’ ranking. But is he better than 2010 first-rounder Gary Brown, assuming he signs? That might be the appropriate starting point. Both are speed-oriented, righty-hitting outfielders in their early 20s. Peguero has proven himself as a pro, up to this point, so perhaps he gets the nod.

OT: I saw MGMT in concert last night
They played mostly boring songs from their 2nd album in the first half, and people were leaving in droves. The worst was sitting (standing) through their 11 minute Pink Floydian fugue. Then, as if to reward the people who stayed, they saved all their best songs for last, including “Time To Pretend” and “Kids.”

they came to play for us at brown for a spring concert
and didn’t play kids. they were about to go off and realized that the students would probably riot violently if they didn’t play it. so they played it over the speakers and just lipsynced to it…kind of disappointing.
Yes
They actually played that early on, to prevent the crowd from leaving en masse in protest, I guess. And I declared to everyone within earshot that this was Timmy’s song.

So Ben Sheets to the DL, and could be done for the year
For all the GMs out there, I hope DeJesus and Sheets serve as your example to not gouge other clubs and wait until the deadline. Injury risk is very real.

How would waiting to the deadline help, though? Players are just as likely to get inured after it as they are to get injured before it.
I was promised lasagna.
I think you misread. I was saying clubs should think twice before trying to gouge (apparently Royals wanted Bumgarner Plus for DeJesus, now they get nothing. Should have settled for a fair return instead of gouging).

I'm just saying
Rowand moves Torres to right which moves Huff to first which means no Ishi.
So if you made me choose between Rowand and Ishi in the lineup, I’d go with Rowand.
Though I don’t really mind that they seem to be platooning.

they regress to career levels, not to league levels.
Ishi’s career babip is .346. He’ll regress, but not to .300.
So we should bench him while hes hot because of the risk of him regressing?

Ok even assuming they don’t you want some statistics?
Ishi currently has a BABIP of .379, which is extraordinarily high, until you look at his career average BABIP, which is .346, only 30 points lower. Now, he is currently batting .329. If you shave .033 points off his current BABIP to match his career average, and then shave the corresponding .033 points of his current batting average, he is still hitting a very solid .296. Couple that with a BABIP adjusted .345 OBP, and you have a player much more valuable than Rowand, not even mentioning his defensive boost.

Would that it were just "right now".
When the Giants acquired Aaron Rowand, it looked like—quite aside from contractual price/length issues—they had gotten a slightly above-average center fielder, on both offense and defense.
His first two years here were not substantially worse than an accurate reading of his abilities at acquisition time would have suggested. The Philadelphia stats should have been discounted a bit: with 2004 and 2007 seen as outliers, what you saw was pretty much what you got.
This year has been dreadful for him, both at the plate and in the field. His walks average, never good, is well down from career. His SO rate is up, too—not drastically, but significantly (20.3% vs. 18.3% career). Granted, BABIP has taken 10 hits away as compared to his career rate, but watching the balls he does make contact with, a subjective evaluation is that the BABIP falloff is a result with a real cause.
Rowand may be dumb as a rock, but he tries his best. Sad to say, though, his best is no longer major-league on any but, at best, a bottom-of-the-pack team.
Professional baseball analyst since 1980.
Re "hot doesn't exist":
That is mostly or entirely correct. At any given moment, a batter is what he is, and that “what he is” is in almost every case defined by his cumulative career stats{1}, give or take not enough to argue about here.
“Regression” does not come about because a player has a countering slump to “make up” for his streak (or a streak to make up for a slump)—people who think such things lose lots of money in casinos, say by betting heavily on red after a roulette wheel has had several blacks in a row. “Regression” comes about because as the sample size becomes ever larger, individual streaks (up or down) become an ever smaller part of the total sample.
If I toss 10 heads in a row with a coin, I do not (necessarily) sometime soon thereafter get an unusually large number of tails. What happens is that after 100 toses, I probably have 55 heads and 45 tails; and after a thousand tosses, 505 heads and 495 tails; and so on.
On any given day, we should expect a batter to perform in accordance with his career stats (or, for a real veteran, his most recent few years), not with any “streak” or “slump” he appears to be in. Streaks and slumps continue . . . till they don’t. Which is as likely to be today as any day.
.

{1} The obvious exception is stats tainted in some way, as by injury influence, or major park distortions from certain fields.
Professional baseball analyst since 1980.
not quite
some hot streaks are breakouts. is Ishi’s? given his age and history, probably not. but you can’t just look at an unusual performance spike and write it off.
otherwise you,‘ll say, “this guy hit .274/.333/.421 last year, his .365/.429/.609 this year will regress” and you’ll trade away Miguel Cabrera.
Some streaks are breakouts, yes
But there really isn’t any evidence from either the majors or the minors that Ishi is any better than what we’ve seen from him all ready.

if you’d said so from the beginning I wouldn’t have gotten on my Bayesian high horse.
Haha, fair
I’m not asserting rhetorical superiority.
Just saying, Rowand is a candidate to start hitting a lot better than he has been, and Ishikawa is a candidate to start hitting a lot worse.

I think Ishikawa’s not a terrible hitter, he’s just not up to 1B standards. His age-24 in Connecticut was quite solid, given his home park and a tough league for hitters, and he absolutely pasted the PCL on promotion for around 200 PAs. His hitting last year wasn’t even that bad, considering.
Rowand is a special case. He keeps running into fences, for one thing, or pitches, or whatever. I have seen him take so freaking many putrid swings at sliders at his feet that I have serious doubts he’ll even hit like his 2009 again, much less like his outlier year 2007. He will never hit like that again.
To be fair, he’s striking out much much less than he has so far in his career and he’s hitting a ridiculous number of line drives.
Even regressing the BABIP, his performance this year has been a significant improvement.

Huh
From what I have seen Rowand is way better at judging fly balls than Torres. Many times Andres has to make up for this with his speed.
Scotty does have problem with his throws (missing cutoffs, throwing to the wrong base, etc.). I’d say it about evens out for me.
How many fly balls does Torres miss, though?
I can’t think of many. Rowand misses a LOT more throws than Torres misses fly balls.

This was to 420’s comment below yours.
But . . .
. . . if “Rowand is a better hitter than Travis Ishikawa is,” is he a better hitter than Schierholtz? That would be the real question with this lineup. We can’t know for sure—which is insane, but it’s The Giants’ Way®—but I’d reckon No.

Andy? It’s Brian. Look, I need Ohman. What will it take? Wheeler and Peguero? Don’t bust my balls, Andy, that’s our Futures Game contingent. I can offer you Thomas Neal and John Bowker, and not a single player more. What, sweeten the deal with a throw-in? Well, we have a first baseman who takes too many walks, we’ll throw him in. I think he’s in double A. Maybe his name is Random Smelt or something. Do we have a deal?
Whew, finally. Man, you’re a tough negotiator. Let me throw in Andres Torres by way of a reacharound.

none of the players given up in that trade were performing as well as Bowker, Belt, or Neal.

Maybe non of them were as good as Belt, but they were all better than Bowker and Neal.

At the time of the deal?
I don’t remember much about it I guess. I thought they’d been struggling. I’m definitely not saying it’s not a terrible trade, but for whatever reason I have a little more belief that Sabean won’t trade those guys for peanuts.
But I’ve been sick for a week, so I could be borderline delusional, too

Well, it’s complicated. They all had a ton of potential, but very big flaws. Nathan had a great season in 2003 (2.96 ERA, 3.45 FIP in 80 IP), but had never been good before (despite always having a dynamite fastball).
Liriano was a very good pitching prospect (#82 on BA’s list entering the 2003 season), but missed virtually all of 2003 with an arm injury.
Bonser was a former elite prospect (1st round pick, #23 on BA’s list in 2002) who dominated A ball as a 19 year old in 2001, but showed serious control problems the next year in A+, and just wasn’t good the year after that in AA.
They all had very high upsides, but were all big question marks too, so it’s hard to say exactly what their trade value was.
I was promised lasagna.
Joe Nathan was coming off a year with a 83/33 K/BB ratio in 79 innings with a 2.96 ERA (142 ERA+) in the majors.
That’s pretty goddamn good.
