Just putting it out there
What kind of ungodly package (heh, package) would we have to throw at the Marlins to walk out of this series with Hanley Ramirez?
It’s probably a dumb idea to sell the farm for one guy and I don’t even know his contract status, but with Mole rapidly falling off a cliff and Jazzy inconsistent as usual I can’t get rid of this awful taste of bile in the back of my mouth as I contemplate Edgar Renteria, shortstop for a playoff push.

Curiously . . .
. . . Baseball-reference.com’s “sabermetric” fielding measure, Rtot/year, shows him very slightly better than average this year. I myself don’t trust any of them, but that’s what at least one says.
Professional baseball analyst since 1980.
Well, I actually didn’t have a huge problem with it earlier in the year. Lately, it’s been visibly painful. I know how much of a trap that can be, but I wouldn’t be surprised if his early season range-competence is covering up some current I-can-haz-range-plz.

Yes, but that doesn't mean you don't give one up to gain higher win expectency

went down by 4%. I still would bunt there. To stay out of the double play and play for the tie at home.

You have to think in the long term.
If Ryan sacrifices his at bat just to move the runners over, who will have the last at bat if the next guy doesn’t get the job done? The answer today was the guy who went 0 for 4.
You can’t manage like that. The same come back is if Rohlinger hits one in the hole for 6-4-3, you’ll face endless questions on why didn’t you make the obvious play, which is to bunt runners over.
Bochy can’t really win in this situation. I dont’ blame him for bunting. I know hardcore stats guys want to crucify him there, but I won’t.

It was a pretty good defensive play to stop the ball from going into the outfield. First time all game the Marlins’ defense helped them.
Stanton made a couple nice plays and almost made another spectacular one.

Win expectancy went down after the successful bunt. If you factor in the chance that Rohlinger doesn’t get the bunt down, it’s an even worse managerial decision.
But what about the chance the Marlins D fucks up?

i think the argument is typically

--Daisy Owl
I don’t really know how this stuff is calculated, but I’m not sure you can just look at an “analogous” situation. For example, if you look at the same situation in the top of the 9th, win expectancy goes down after a successful bunt.
historical outcomes
the reason there’s a difference between the top and bottom is that even if the away team goes up in the top, the home team has a chance to win it. If the home team takes the lead in the 9th the game is over

Well, sure…but the point is that you thought the situation in the chart (1 run down) was analogous to the situation in the game (2 runs down), and it turns out it wasn’t.
i didn't think it was
it’s just the closest situation available in the chart, and if that’s what baetown was looking at, he’s wrong in classifying it as the right move

WAR is just an assumption based upon projections.
It’s religion, not fact.
The random replacement player represented by the "R" is a mythical creation, a hypothetical model.
Runs, Hits, HR, RBI, SB, etc. are things that ACTUALLY HAPPENED.
Any stat you cannot win an award for is nerd-fuck BULLSHIT!!!

First of all, you shouldn't use Fangraphs WAR, since the offense part is a little broken
Second of all, you should calculate WAR/600 PA’s or something like that, when you’re dealing with an extended period of time.

how is the offense part broken?
Sharlon Schoop - de favoriete Nederlandse honkbalspeler van McCovey Chronicles.

--Daisy Owl
They do not count ROE's in the numerator
Yet leave the PA’s in the denominator. So not only are they not giving credit for a (+) play, they’re giving negative credit for it. And they do a blanket park-factor adjustment instead of by components.
Aaron King is still my homeboy... iffy mechanics and all
McFAQ for all you newcomers out there.
are you sure?
they appear to use Tango’s wOBA, which does count ROEs

You always have to be one step ahead of your drunk friends
--Daisy Owl
Nope, they don't
Graham MacAree pointed it out in a blog post at Statcorner.com (which is now gone because they cleared out their blog; stupid spambots). Fangraphs includes SB/CS but not ROE
Aaron King is still my homeboy... iffy mechanics and all
McFAQ for all you newcomers out there.
hmm interesting
though i suspect that value would tend more towards true talent, i can’t believe ROEs are a repeatable skill

wonder why fangraphs doesn’t count it

--Daisy Owl
I'm not sure either
Though at this point, it would be a pain to recalculate ROE’s into all the player pages. I mean, I go to Statcorner pretty much just for the park-adjusted wOBA they calculate (with each component having been park-adjusted).
Aaron King is still my homeboy... iffy mechanics and all

I'd actually never seen statcorner before

Yeah, I agree
But they did get majorly run over by spambots and such, and I don’t think they want to redo much of the site because of Fangraphs and Rally’s Baseball Projection site
Aaron King is still my homeboy... iffy mechanics and all
McFAQ for all you newcomers out there.
nitpicking
The reason we don’t include ROER is because it’s not included in the baseball-databank and it wasn’t a stat that we initially had in our database. We could include it, but it would take a non trivial amount of work.
In reality it hardly makes any difference at all except for a few players each year and they are not the same players each and every year. The repeatability of ROER on the whole has a very weak year to year correlation and is mostly a function of playing time, though there may be a handful of players that are the exception.
I think to call the offensive portion of WAR “broken” is a gross overstatement.
thanks for the response
this stuff is all way interesting to me

i'm actually not insanely opposed to this if he comes cheap
bat him 2nd.
i’m losing faith in nate quickly and i wouldn’t mind a burrell/rowand/pods platoon (with rowand getting the least time). i realize most of his value is BA but he does have some speed and i think we could hopefully fleece that moron dayton moore.
better a cheap pods than a guillen or hart or werth that we pay out our ass for
Exactly. He’s cheaper than all the other options that the Giants have been considering and he would be a much better leadoff or #2 than what we have in house.
It goes my oh my, we chokin' on borrowed time

this is assuming the continued ignorance of management – we still don’t know if bowker is an option. but i’m fairly certain at this point nate is not one – i know, i know no sustained playing time but imo he is a 4th outfielder.

there is hardly ever enough value gained to justify the move. 62 games left? 3 WAR over the replacement to gain a win?

What the team could probably use . . .
. . . is a SS batting .300 with a .365 OBP and at least average defense.
And it is certainly well known around baseball insiders that no good player has ever struck out to end a game that a hit would have won. Not. One. Ever.

Renteria did what practically every Giants hitter in a 3-2 count did tonight, swing at whatever was coming on that next pitch.
Still, Renteria is quickly moving out from under the umbrella of his many defenders, that much is clear. You can juke the stats as much as you want, eventually, his torrid start will be far enough in the rear view that all we’ll have is what’s left.

OPS by month:
April .773
May .727
June .854
July .630
Yep, fall-off in July. Big jump up in June is, of course meaningless, because, um, uh, I guess because we don’t look at big jumps unless they’re down. Thus the jump down in July is really, really meaningful, whereas the jump up in June is totally meaningless. (And that the June/July average is almost exactly the April/May average is, um, ah, even more meaningless, yes, that’s it, even more!)

Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
True.
You did not. I’m sorry if it seemed I was saying you did. I tend to reply to cascading threads at the most recent juncture point. Someone upthread had said things about his early season results being a false dazzle that was blinding people to his true rank awfulness, an awfulness I have yet been unable to discover. All he does is field league average or better and hit in the top echelon of shortstops (the actual lists are posted somewhere elsethread).
Given my druthers, yes, I’d rather have Furcal or Ramirez or a couple of others; but all in all, the team is doing quite well to have him. But around here, he’s in a box: if he does well one day, it’s despite his “obvious” awfulness, while if he does poorly it’s because of his “obvious” awfulness.
That his cumulative performance through the season to date (and his career to date excluding the two injury-plagued seasons) is really quite good—and pretty consistent—is just totally ignored.

Arguable soft BA aside, it’s not really that Rents is that god-awful. He’s probably no worse than mediocre. Possibly even good when you consider age, other shortstops, etc etc etc.
It’s what when he’s bad, he’s really bad. So bad my sphincter tightens when I watch. He’s right down there with Panda for hacking at slop, and none of Panda’s power or expectation to return to form. He provokes this gut reaction of absolute bile from a lot of fans because you can see the spectacular failure coming, like the lamplights of a train in a tunnel, and there is nothing you can do to stop it.
I’d still argue that the Giants could upgrade at SS, specifically with an eye towards contention next year as well. But as it stands, there are definitely bigger holes in the offense. Just very few that have such terrible, disgusting crap at the very bottom.

Look, he struck out tonight.
I don’t think tonight alone is the smoking gun many people have been looking for… I don’t think there is a smoking gun. This is a gradual decline, the long goodbye for baseball players. And we can still smell the corpse from last year’s team.

An interesting look . . .
. . . at all shortstops (both leagues) with at least 150 plate appearances in 2010, based on offense only, and looking at 2010 results only (no park adjustments, but they don’t matter much here). Draw your own conclusions.

i don't understand the podsednik hate
i think he would be cheap to get, his contract is reasonable, and he’s an upgrade over nate or rowand and we can shift a bat like edgar’s that should not be in the 2-hole.
i understand it if the fear is that sabean will overpay though. assuming a reasonable return i don’t think its the end of the world.
He’s not that much better than Nate or Rowand, as he’s a fairly poor fielder who is mostly limited to LF.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
"Out, out, Fred Lewis!" - JCTillam Gamerspeare
But he IS better. If he’s had for cheap, you could play with a lineup like this:
Torres/Podsednik LF/CF
Podsednik/Torres CF/LF
Huff RF
Posey C
Uribe SS
Sandoval 3B
Ishikawa 1B
Sanchez 2B
P
Keeps Rowand and Renteria on the bench, as well as moves Burrell there, which gives the Giants a legitimate power threat to be used as a pinch hitter.
Considering the other names being thrown out there, I don’t think this is unreasonable.
It goes my oh my, we chokin' on borrowed time

Then, Ka’aihue had a great spring training this year (.347/.448/.673 with four homers) and was sent back down. He crushed the ball in Omaha and finally got a callup — at which point he was given all of four major league at-bats before getting sent back down again. Four at-bats. He is now hitting .304/.459/.570 in Omaha.
The Royals will tell you that they simply don’t have a spot in the lineup for him — Billy Butler already plays first base and the Royals are paying Jose Guillen a lot of money to be the team’s DH. But my point here is not the Royals’ roster management, but their judgment. My point here is that the Royals simply do not value Ka’aihue’s talent for getting on base, certainly not enough to find out what they have. They see those walks as more of a negative than a positive. They do not value his talents.
You know whose talents the Royals value? Scott Podsednik’s. He has been their left fielder and leadoff hitter all year. HIS OPS+ is 98, making him one of only two American League left fielders with a sub-100 OPS+. He has been caught stealing 11 times. He has only three homers all year and he has struck out almost twice as often as he has walked (54 strikeouts, 29 walks). His UZR and the John Dewan plus/minus both suggest that he has been well below average defensively in left.

The fact that rowand plays center while torres sits in left or right is criminal. It’s also a clear sign that bork thinks rowand is gold glove center fielder and one of the best defenders in the game and a better defender than torres. I hope that’s not the case and bochy is just afraid of rowand playing left field but that’s highly unlikely.

One more thing about Renteria
Does it seem like he is trying to guess the next pitch vs see it? I think some days his bat speed is so slow if he doesn’t start swinging during the windup there is no way he’ll catch up to a fastball.
No one here gets out alive.
He's ALWAYS been that kind of hitter
and yet has hacked out more career hits at age 33 than Willie McCovey had at 43
The money lies in the RBIs
-- Jeff Kent
Career OPS
Edgar Renteria .742
Willie McCovey .889
And like you said. McCovey played till he was 43.
No one here gets out alive.
irrelevant
it’s about ACTUAL REALIZED HITS not a phantom comparison of non-overlapping careers

McCovey had 4,219 total bases.
Renteria has 3,110.

I would have voted for both of Rent's last two at-bats as some of the ugliest this year.
Struck out twice with RISP.
Why is the ninth inning the only one getting the glory? If he’d done it right the first time we may not have had to bat in the ninth.

I'm not sure I understand the question, but....
You really never see the “garlic hurts vampires” thing anymore, and you haven’t for a while. Sunlight: check (even though Dracula himself could go out in the sun unharmed – this would have been a point in Stephanie Meyers’s favor if she hadn’t gone with sparkles). Wooden stakes: check (just noticed I missed that in the above list). Bats: check. Christian symbols: check. Mirrors: check.
But I guess garlic is too goofy or something.

Or was it just kind of everyone after a while?

Oh, I’m not really sure. It’s just something I’ve noticed seems to have fallen out of favor. I think that so much of the vampire today has to do with “reimagining” it somehow (one thing that makes me so sad about vampires today), and people are always trying to figure out what to include and what to ignore – the garlic thing is probably the first to go every time.

They are for the more casual (for lack of a better word) players, but the most defining aspect of SC multiplayer was how much your actions per minute could influence you.
I’m no Korean progamer, but I was C+/C on ICCUP so I could hold my own against some pretty decent players.
I was like rank 1 or 2 in my Platinum division on SC2 beta also, but that’s not really that impressive since alot of people on there were flat out retarded, and if you played Zerg you could pretty much beat 90% of the people with a 5 pool.

I like the single-player mode because it helps my micro, and the campaign story is at least a little bit interesting
But I enjoy playing it with friends the most because they introduced me to the game and helped me through it.

fucking dumbass
The Marlins’ Chris Coghlan became the latest casualty of an over-exuberant celebration, injuring his right knee while rushing to plant a shaving-cream pie in the face of Wes Helms after Sunday’s walk-off victory. This comes less than two months after Angels’ first baseman Kendry Morales suffered a season-ending injury jumping on the plate following his walk-off homer.
The Marlins did not reveal the cause of the injury until Monday, when Coghlan underwent an MRI exam in San Francisco. He has been diagnosed with a torn meniscus, and if he needs surgery, he’ll be out six-to-eight weeks. In the meantime, Coghlan was placed on the disabled list after Monday night’s game, and Logan Morrison has been recalled from the minors.

Stop trying to cover it up. Everyone knows it was a conspiracy theory to get me banned, but something went wrong. I was strong. Very strong. Much stronger than you and Grant ever imagined. The banhammer simply crumbled atop my skull. You had to think fast, especially once I learned your real name. You came up with a idea that was just crazy enough to work. You ran to your computer, hurdling the laundry basket and crossing the basement in barely 3 steps. You changed my banning to a warning, then sat back and prayed. What you didn’t know, was that I was having a particularly good day, and was feeling rather merciful. You and Grant just assumed I never caught wind of the original plan, but if only you knew how wrong you were. How wrong you were, until tonight, that is.

I watched the end of the game (and the beginning)
And I don’t get the Edgar hate. That was not an ugly at bat. It was disappointing, but he worked a full count and whiffed on a decent breaking ball. It’s not like it was a BP fastball right down the middle, or a typical Rowand two striker slide job.

I thought the only bad thing was that
Rent, being the veteran he is, should’ve known a changeup was coming. That, or Nunez’s change is just really nasty
I thought about this. He could have just guessed and said, don’t swing at anything, he’s prolly gonna throw something I can’t hit. On the other hand, this is not a really good approach for any player to take in that situation. He saw a pitch he thought he could hit and missed. Better that than taking some cheese down the middle.

Oh… no thanks. I’m related to enough goombahs to not find their antics particularly amusing.

Another source told Levine that six teams are bidding for Dunn: The White Sox, Angels, Tigers Rangers and two NL clubs. As you can see below, the Rockies and Giants have been linked to Dunn, but it’s not certain that those two teams are pursuing him now.
The Giants also expressed interest in Dunn, according to Knobler.

Josh Willingham is drawing interest from the Braves, Rays, and Red Sox. Adam Dunn remains a trade candidate as well, but the Nationals would only deal one of the two.
