Giants/Diamondbacks Series Preview

The Rockies are in first place. Okay. The Giants are right behind them. Makes sense. And then there are the Diamondbacks in third. This brings up two very salient points:
1. Hahahaha Dodgers
2. Hahahaha Padres
But then you start to wonder if the Diamondbacks can hang around. Any sort of optimism that came out of Arizona this offseason was based on the There’s No Way The Relievers Could Suck That Badly Again Theorem, which posited that there was no way the relievers could suck that badly again. And so far, it’s been proven right. J.J. Putz has been good, other relievers have been less bad, and Joe Paterson is proving that we could have won a World Series and held on to John Bowker at the same time! Well, maybe that last part is a stretch, but I’m still pretty sure that I root harder for Paterson than anyone else in the NL West.
...until he strikes out Aubrey Huff with the bases loaded in a meaningful September game, that is. Then it won’t be so cute that Joe Paterson was pilfered in the Rule 5 draft. But are the Diamondbacks close to contending? Let’s sort them into meaningless, arbitrary categories:
Good hitters hitting well
Justin Upton is doing his thing, Miguel Montero is a healthy season away from being the most underrated player in baseball, and Stephen Drew is covetable. Oh, sweet, sweet Drew. How I want the Giants to throw money at him after the end of next season. Maybe we could offer some prospects now and save some time. My offer is this, Arizona: Joe Paterson. Consider it, and consider it wisely. I’ll be back in an hour.
Talented hitters hitting poorly
Kelly Johnson sat on the same Greyhound-station toilet that Aubrey Huff did, which is totally ridiculous because it’s not like they make you pay for the covers; they’re free. Take a few home if you want. Chris Young has an OBP of .257, and it should be pointed out that he’s in this category because of projected talent. He could really be down a few rungs if he doesn’t start hitting soon.
Decent-enough hitters doing decently enough
Hmm. Don’t know much about Gerardo Parra and Juan Miranda. To Wikipedia!
Gerardo Parra and Juan Miranda are professional baseball players. They play for the Arizona Diamondbacks. Both of their last names end with "a", and they use donuts in the on-deck circle while taking warm-up swings.
I see.
Ryan Roberts
This category includes Ryan Roberts, who is going nuts right now. I would write that no one expected Ryan Roberts to hit this well, except somewhere on Ryan Roberts’s torso, there’s a tattoo of Ryan Roberts hitting this well, so he was the one. His minor-league numbers aren’t that impressive, but I’ll always give a little extra credit to the guys who can keep that K/BB ratio around 1. I couldn’t really explain why.
Hey, those pitchers are good
Ian Kennedy and Daniel Hudson are good and cheap, and they will be for a while. It was a neat little trick the Diamondbacks pulled, turning Max Scherzer into two good young pitchers. That’s a high-wire act that other GMs should appreciate but never attempt to emulate. Except you, Ned. See if that Kershaw guy can bring back two good young lefties. You’ll never know if you don’t try!
Hey, those pitchers aren’t as good
Disclaimer: obviously any of these pitchers could shut the Giants down at any time. But Armando Galarraga, Barry Enright, and Joe Saunders are like the three finalists of Boring Starting Pitcher Idol. You’d overhear co-workers talk about last night’s episode of Boring Starting Pitcher Idol, and they’d say things like "Oh, man, I loved it when Armando covered that Brandon Backe game -- so awesome!", or, "I didn’t even think I liked Glendon Rusch, but the way Joe Saunders interpreted him, it almost made me cry!" And you’d sit back and wonder why it’s popular to watch boring starting pitchers do the things that other boring starting pitchers did but do them more boringly. Doesn’t make sense.
Hitter to watch
Those guys up there.
Pitcher to watch
Those guys up there! Seriously, get out of my way, I’m heading towards a conclusion.
Prediction
Stop that. A conclusion, I said. And it’s that I have no idea if the Diamondbacks will contend. They have some serious talent. They also have some less-than-inspiring talent. I expected the Padres to fade around the end of May last year, so it shows what I know. If Upton and Drew take off, they could push the lineup. If one or two of the Saunders/Enright/Galarraga troika could have an uninspiring-yet-helpful season, who knows? Stranger things have happened.
Like, oh, last year’s Padres. That team really scarred me, so when a team is within three or four games, I don’t care if they’re starting Manny Alexander at all nine positions. They’ll worry me.

Clearly these incidents are mere co-incidences. Considering the length of this post, there is no way even a blogger as prodigious, pithy and pulchritudinous as Grant could write it in, at most, 58 seconds. It had been written the previous night, or perhaps this morning, from the third floor of the Texas School Book Depository, just like Grant’s official findings indicate.

But still, the proper answer is always Joe Montana, just because he wasn’t actually playing in the NFL in the 70’s doesn’t mean he wasn’t the best. 1960’s same thing, sure he was a baby, but had that baby been allowed to play he would have eclipsed Unitas. 50’s, he would have had to count as two players, both sperm and egg, but had said sperm and egg been allowed to play, MVP.

Funny, all I remember from ye olde shrooms was a couple hours of mostly fun times. But then I almost always ate ’em with friends on nice days in a pretty place outdoors.
Reminds me of the story my wife tells about one of her college buddies who ended up with a junk problem resulting from ‘harmless’ college indulgences. He shows up at a mutual friends wedding wanting to snort some of his poison of choice, which had been a college and even postcollege usual. The groom refuses. He asks why. The groom gives among the better answers I have heard: ‘because we are adults now.’
Oh, and don’t get hooked on addictive drugs, kids. Stick with social drinking.

I’ve had fun on shrooms indoors, but always with friends in a fun place and on pretty low doses. Making mushroom tea for whoever wants to try it is good fun, and if you underdose and no one feels much, who cares?
Doing any drug alone strikes me as bad news. Except maybe coffee, but I am comfortable with my mild addiction there.
I’ve only done shrooms that once, but a friend of mine in college did them alot, and one time he went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium after eating 1/4th ounce of them.
He had the misfortune of going on ‘field-trip day’ for kids all over the state, and he was apparently freaking out, and some kids told their teacher there was this guy in the jellyfish exhibit licking the glass and talking to the fish. They called security, who called the police. You can see where this is going. Long story short, he ended up in the mental ward of a local hospital for a few days.

I forget where, but I read that some RedSox scouts were at San Jose to watch Wheeler pitch (that’s probably complete speculation). Didn’t they just call up that SS Iglesias? Does that mean Lowrie might be available??

DHB doesn't block
So attempting to catch the ball is about the only thing he actually does. That technically, in the strictest sense of the word, makes him a receiver.

But sometimes Campbell loses his mind and throws the ball in DHB’s general vicinity. When DHB raises his hands to prevent the ball from hitting his face, that makes him a “receiver”.

And a sell out doesn’t mean EVERY seat is sold it’s a %age of the total number of seats available.

I said in an old thread that for whatever Sinclair’s faults were, he definitely had the better opening monologue.
I liked Sheridan being a total n00b, though. And then being fat. That was good.
And G’Kar is already a much better character than he was. Londo isn’t so much a better character as he is a more interesting one. Also, there appears to be a random pilot who is now a full-time cast member.

Also something I noticed:
Even though Buster is only hitting .246 right now, his OBP is .333.
Firstly, it’s nice that Posey is at least keeping his on-base percentage at league average, and secondly, it’s good to see Posey take some extra walks; he’s taken 13 walks so far this season against 30 last year in less than one-third the number of plate appearances.
Keep walking, Buster.

Giants game on Thursday ends, with luck, around 3:30pm. They don’t get on a plane to Chicago until 6 or 7, right? Don’t get into Chicago until past midnight local time. Then they have to be up and at Wrigley early for a 1:20pm start time.

I think the iPad is the best tablet on the market (unless you’re like Natto) but I really, really hate iTunes.
Cumbersome interface, heavy, slow. The whole synching thing annoys the crap out of me when I’m switching between multiple devices. I’ve just have yet to wrap my head around the interface. It just doesn’t jive with how I want it to work. Could just be me.
Also I can buy music in a more useful format and for less cash elsewhere.

No.
If you’re using apt-get, the whole process is automated; the files are put where the designer intended them to go. The only “trick” is that sometimes you have to hunt around for how to start the app (most are just added to an appropriate menu, but a few have to be called, either by command line or by making a startup icon for them).

You’re probably right about that point, but the discussion is about defense. Rowand being a much better defender and Burrell being a better hitter are not mutually exclusive propositions.

Without question, Rownads is the better defensive player. I just wonder what the reasoning behind this is for Bochy, because Rownads hasn’t hit lately, esp against RHP.

Remember, Rowand has largely played because Torres is injured, and while he carried the offense for a few games his overall statistics are back to their pedestrian selves. Now that Torres is back, Rowand playing is no way a guarantee unless you feel that he provides better value than Burrell, Schierholtz, Ross, he won’t be playing every day.

Burrell: .239/.364/.446
Ross: .240/.283/.320 (SSS)
For their careers, Ross and Burrell are better players. I don’t really need to post slash lines for this; it’s pretty well-documented.
Rowand’s main advantage is that he plays CF, something that Bochy has appeared reluctant to do with Ross. With Torres back, that advantage is largely gone outside of spot start or microsplit matchups.

My Guess
Belt stays down until Bochy decides he needs to put Huff on the bench.
Rowand, Ross, Torres and Burrell split time in the outfield.
Tejada, Franchez, Fontenot and DeRosa split time in the infield.
Its not a bad situation. Lots our our guys are old and kind of broken.

Et tu, Ribe?
It would follow that if he takes their 25-man spot, that player will lose playing time. Huff, Burrell, and Ross probably get a little less playing time overall.
If there are 3 spots and 4 players to fill them in, and approximately 13 games in two weeks, each player could get approximately get 10 starts, and on any given day off we have a good bat off the bench. Overall, I’m guessing that Ross loses the most PT, because his defensive versatility makes him more useful in the late innings.

My guess would be that Ross and Burrell play against all lefties with Belt and Huff playing against all righties. You could even sit Torres vs. some lefties and move Cody to CF if you wanted Huff and Belt in too.

He didn’t really last year. But Burrell and especially Cody do, so you play them vs. their strengths.

But when Ross and Burrell go on their hot streaks, they should play until their streaks tail off.
Boch seems to like the ‘hot hand’, so that’s what I would assume happens. That way, we get the best of Ross and Burrell without suffering the worst of them.

Huff had practically no split last season, but for his career he has a split, albeit a much smaller one than many lefties experience. The main stat affected is his SLG.
The short version is, Huff and Belt are best against righties, and Rowand, Ross, and Burrell are best against lefties.

OT: how to steal $8m without hardly trying
Get line of credit from natural gas company. Buy gas on credit. Sell gas to other company. Neglect to pay for it.
On Aug. 30, 2006, Roqumore faxed fraudulent financial statements showing a net income of more than $10 million for GAR to National Fuel Resources Inc. (NFR). Natural Fuel Resources Inc. (NFR) sold GAR $1.6 million of natural gas on credit. Roqumore, in turn, sold that natural gas to Conoco Phillips for just more than $1.6 million. On the settlement dates, GAR was paid $1,649,730 by Conoco Phillips but GAR paid NFR only $100,000. Roqumore never paid NFR the remaining $1,494,617 for the natural gas she purchased from them.
In total, Roqumore fraudulently obtained approximately $7.9 million in natural gas on credit from the 12 energy companies from March 2002 through April 2010. Roqumore never paid for that natural gas.

Shake Things Up
Sabean needs to really shake things up like last season if the Giants are to repeat this year. I propose the following:
- DFA Tejada and have the Justice Department prosecute him for lying about his age. Deport him to Guantanamo Bay for the purposes of extracting his real birth date if you know what I mean.
- Trade Wilson to Team Sheen for Emilio Estevez. Promptly deport Emilio to Mexico.
- DFA Rowand and deport him to Siberia. If he manages to make his way back to the US, sign him to a ten year deal at no less than a $100 million for being a gamer.
- Have Willie Mays adopt Buster Posey so he’ll be forced to take care of him at his old age.
- Promote Pablo to manager of Chucky Cheese because the kids love him
- Promote Ross to manger because his constant smiling is infectious.
- Inform the Justice Department that Bochy’s huge cranium is the result of illegal steroid abuse. He’ll be forced to testify before congress explaining why he used PED’s to enlarge his brain and skull for the purpose of improving him managerial skills.
- DFA DeRosa and hire his wife as the new “personal assistant” to Brian Sabean.
- DFA Lou Seal and have him sign up for a UFC cage match against the Dinger. Lou Seal will sadly be clubbed but Dinger will promptly be seized by the authorities for being extinct and placed in a museum for the rest of his existence.
- Place Huff on probation for the purposes of coercing into AA. When he returns sober, freeze him in carbonite for delivery to Jabba the Hutt.
That is all(lights cigar and leans back in chair).
The Giants haven’t made their roster moves official yet, but they’re going to activate Andres Torres and Mark DeRosa from the disabled list. Both are in tonight’s starting lineup against Arizona right-hander Ian Kennedy.
Corresponding moves might not be announced until after batting practice. We can surmise Ryan Rohlinger is going back to Fresno. The other trim will be either Darren Ford or Emmanuel Burriss. (I will try to tweet the corresponding moves when announced, but I’ve getting the Twitter Fail Whale all afternoon.)
The biggest development thus far: Miguel Tejada hits the bench. This is DeRosa’s chance to take the third base job and run with it — at least while Pablo Sandoval remains sidelined.
Pat Burrell becomes the first outfielder to cede at-bats to Torres. Aaron Rowand will have to produce to keep the left field job, though. I’d expect Bruce Bochy will keep dabbling while trying to find the hottest hand.
May the Flap be with you DeRosa
Quote from my adopted son Mike Krukow: "We're the Giants. We're San Francisco. And we're World Series Champions!"
I like Baggs but I think he might be jumping the gun here; it’s one game, and Burrell’s probably just getting the night off.
As for DeRosa, though, he’s right. If Mark hits, they’ll find him at-bats. People cite that benching Tejada is wasting $6.5 million, but benching Mark is wasting nearly twice that. The two are effectively competing for the third base job until Pablo returns.

Et tu, Ribe?
I think you misunderstand the Burrell situation. I think it’s clear that all the outfielders are going to start losing at bats to Torres. Tonight is just Burrell’s night. And Rowand could remain as the starter in left field (taking him out of the at-bat sharing altogether) if he produces.
And Rowand could remain as the starter in left field (taking him out of the at-bat sharing altogether) if he produces.
This would be infuriating
No one here gets out alive.
I don’t think it’s unreasonable for the Giants to view Burrell as a part time/bench player. I would agree that it is entirely unreasonable for the Giants to consider Rowand a starter. Although, we all know that’s exactly the case.
I do.
Burrell is possibly the best offensive producer on the team. If Sandoval regains his stride, he would be, but as it stands, its Pat the Bat. But because so much of his value is in walks, even the supposedly stats-aware MCC underrates him.

Its insane for Baggs to be assuming Burrell is ceding playing time to Rowand. I agree PtB is just getting the night off.

me too. What we can do, is root against Rownads. Even if he has a 4-hit night, you just know a 0-20 stretch is coming, in which he will start every game.
Best off that he just hits the bench again like last year. At least when Pat isn’t hitting, he can still take a walk. Rownad is completely dependent on his BABIP for getting on base.

My other thought was that with Torres getting his first start back, that Boch is just putting Rownads in LF to aid Torres if he catches a bad jump on a ball. Yknow, a little backup for the CF who hasn’t played in a MLB game in a month.

I had two last month – one in each shoulder. In the right shoulder, the pain went away immediately, and pretty much stayed away (I’ve had tendinitis there since the middle of August). In the left shoulder, it encouraged me to use that arm more than I have since I injured it over 8 years ago, and this week it has hurt like hell (tendinitis there too, with a bone spur). So in one case it was like magic; in the other case, it essentially exposed a bigger problem.
Maybe this time it was magic for him.

He was already optioned to the minors at the end of spring training, along with anyone else who’s on the 40-man roster but not the active roster. Options are counted by season, so they can send him up and down as many times as they want for the rest of the year without using additional options. They also used an option on Thomas Neal, for instance, even if he spends the whole year in AAA.

I did not like him much to be honest…he seemed pretty full of himself. I don’t want to be seen as some internet troll, but most the people I know who knew him got the same vibe.
