Giants/Mets Series Preview

PrintRemember when the Giants traded for Freddy Sanchez? They did it when the Pirates were in town already. The team likes to do that apparently, as they did it with Mike Fontenot and the Cubs, too. They line up the opposing team and ask, "Everyone who has a job with the Cubs, step forward!" and the whole team does, and the Giants are all "Ah, ah, ah -- not so fast, Mike." Then he thinks he's been released, so he's extra happy that he's only been traded. It's actually really clever psychology, and it's probably why the the Giant won the World Series.
So with that in mind, here are three potential Giants/Mets trades that could happen this weekend:
Freddy Sanchez's shoulder and hamstrings, Heath Hembree, and a PTBNL for Jose Reyes's shoulder and hamstrings
Reyes stays in New York, but his healthy shoulder comes here. The Giants will have to absorb the sore hamstrings in the deal, but at least they'll get Freddy Sanchez back on the field. The Mets aren't using Reyes this year for anything but screwing up their 2012 draft pick, and with a bum shoulder, Reyes would be easier to re-sign.
Buster Posey's bad ankle, Thomas Neal, and Miguel Tejada's non-broken back for David Wright's good ankle.
Win-win all around, as the Giants get a healthy Buster Posey back, the Mets get a good outfield prospect, and Wright's back heals. Tejada will be without a back, but there's always the potential that the Giants could call up Darren Ford's back to fill in.
Noah Lowry for Lastings Milledge
LOOK. The Giants aren't going ANYWHERE, and if they can get a TOP PROSPECT for Lowry, they need to JUMP ON THAT.
So don't be surprised if one of those happens. Also, look for a Carlos Beltran-for-Santiago Casilla trade because I want one.
Little known facts about the Mets:
- They're two games above .500
- Everyone on their team has been on the disabled list twice in the past week
- Pat Misch made six appearances for them this year
- They employ Scott Hairston
- Backup catcher Ronny Paulino is a) hitting .325/.367/.408, b) a former Giant, though was only with the team for a few minutes
- The prospect the Giants got for Paulino is actually having a nice year in A and AA.
That last thing wasn't a fact about the Mets, but it was included to tempt anyone from the Mets who might be reading this. If Correa was good enough for Paulino once, he's good enough for him again.
And really, I'd love Beltran (even though I have no idea who the Giants would sit in order to play him), and I'd love Reyes (though there's no way the Giants can cough up enough prospects, and the Mets probably aren't going to trade him anyway), but Paulino is addition that makes a ton of sense. Heck, he already knows the pitching staff from when he was a Giant, right?
So if this series is about two things, it's that the Mets are better than you remember, and that this is a chance to ghoulishly look over their roster for scraps that we might want. There's a chance that the Mets might even part with Jason Bay, but only for the right package, like Miguel Tejada, Aaron Rowand, and -$5 million.
Hitter to watch
Angel Pagan's career kind of eerily mirrors Andres Torres's career. Here's how center fielders should plan their career path: Float through the minors discreetly, have the Cubs give up you, play outstanding defense, and hit more than anyone ever thought you would. Easy.
Pitcher to watch
Chris Capuano is actually a viable starting pitcher again after being out of the game for a couple of years before resurfacing last season. He's like Jonathan Sanchez in just about every way except he throws soft stuff for strikes. Really, slight and minor differences. They're easy to get confused.
Prediction
At some point, someone mentions a possible Giants/Reyes trade on KNBR. If it's a caller, they'll be willing to give up Manny Burriss in the right deal.

I like the Mets a little. If you’re a Mets fan, you’re a real fan if you live in New York.
That is cray-z.
I like the Mets
Because back when I was in Jersey, my 3rd grade teacher wouldn’t give homework on the nights Mets won. For any teachers out there that want to convert their students to being fans of a particular sports team, this is an effective method.

I’m getting the feeling, by watching this whole Belt saga unfold, that the Giants have no patience for rookies who don’t hit immediately upon promotion to the bigs.
If Posey slumped off the bat, he probably spends 2010 in AAA. Seems like they have no clue when it comes to developing hitting talent at a ML level.

due to dire positional need.
Bork already loves veterans over rookies, so Huff vs Belt is (quite literally) a no-brainer for him.

A lengthy story in The New Yorker magazine, which profiles Wilpon’s rise from working-class Brooklyn to owner of the Mets, also delves into his relationship with Bernard Madoff and contains nuggets about David Wright, Jose Reyes and Carlos Beltran, details that caught the city’s attention.
Wright was the first to respond, after Wilpon described him as a "really good kid. A very good player. Not a superstar

Do not let anyone talk you into fusion...
every single person I know that has had a fusion surgery is not a happy camper.
The doc’s reccommended I get fusion surgery in 1984. A friend of a friend was the Sports Medicine Doc at ASU. He worked with me on Muscle Therapy, Ultrasound and Chiropractic and the combination lasted until 2001 when I couldn’t sleep for more than an an hour at a time and could not feel my legs below my knees any more. Back surgery has come a long way since 1984. Click this link ( new window)
I had my first knee sugery (sports related arthroscopy) in 1975 . Three days in a hospital about 8 weeks of PT. I have had four additional ones since. I had my last one in the 90’s. Last one was patient and about two weeks of PT. This is a similar type of procedure where they remove the offending pieces of the disc and bone.
Microdiscectomy works for about 90% of patients. Sometimes the damage is too severe, but it does work for most people. My back was fine after about six months, but I was walking around after about five days.

Yep, I went out in 2001 and did basically same course of treatment (PT, chiro and ultrasound). I got functional, but had to change careers and give up on getting my own dojang. It’s just that the day-in day-out pain and stiffness is wearing… 10 years is a long time.

You don’t have to tell me. I was a positively cranky son of a bitch every minute of every damn day at the end. It wears you out being in pain all day every day. I almost made it 20 years. Check with the Doc’s and see what they say.
My orthopedic Surgeon was very honest about the procedure. He said " It may last 2 years, or it may last 20 years, but it will make you feel alot better than you feel right now. Hopefully it will last long enough for the disc replacement procedure to be perfected by the time you need it. "

First..I’m 52 years old, but other than that, my activity is not really limited at all. I have had five knee surgeries and a back surgery. I ride bikes, hike, play basketball and softball, work in the yard, and chase my grandson around while trying to teach him the proper fielding and swing mechanics for baseball. I am old enough that I pay for the activity sometimes, but I still do quite a bit. I do not run for excercise. It absolutley destroys my knees. All that bone on bone violence, LOL.
I Coach and am on the board for a Girls youth fastpitch softball league. I Coach for about twelve to fourteen weeks in Spring and about eight weeks in Fall. (games are 1.5 hrs two times a week and two hr practices), and Tournament season game brackets can go all day. . Sitting hurts me more than walking around and doing things.
We also have a Coaches Fastpitch game each October were we all act like we are 18 again. Diving for balls, running out infiield hits etc. I pay for that for about a week afterward., more muscle pain than back pain.
I have a gym in the spare room with a programable bike, a bowflex, a 32" flatscreen (with surround) and most importantly an inversion table . Seriously you need to get one of these. I use it about three times a week in the morning and before I go to bed. It really releases the pressure on your discs, spine and muscles.

I have no back pain unless I overdo it during excercise.
But I often have cramping/spasms in my legs. I was in extreme pain for about three months that I could only control with hella Ibuprfin. I got off Ibuprofin after about 6 mo. and then had a recurrence that lasted about 4-5 months. I was doing PT and ultrasound.
Relief! I Thank you for your Lefferts.
Doc told me to never jog again.
He did say I could play hoops though. My wife thinks that’s crazy but I think there’s a big difference in impact between a wooden floor and concrete. Also I have permanently lost, or so it seems, any explosion I had in my legs. I can still get up to speed I just start slow.
Relief! I Thank you for your Lefferts.

He was probably pressured by Selig or something, like the Infante thing last year.
The Dodgers can have all the All-Stars they want, they’re still bankrupt.
That is cray-z.
I still don't get how the team can be 'bankrupt.'
I mean, I get that they are, I just don’t get how even McCourt could have screwed up the finances so horrifically to even get within shouting distance of bankruptcy. I think there’s got to be a combination of ineptitude and malfeasance going on there.
This is the first year in forever that attendance has been a problem for the team, and the cost of parking is 2-3x what it was when McCourt bought the team (in addition to all of the ticket price increases). What that tells me is he’s either got an epic shitload of debt (like, more than what we know about), or his piggybank-looting ways have been really breathtaking in scope.
by DodgerFanInPackerLand on Jul 8, 2011 1:19 PM PDT up reply actions
to put it in perspective, McCourt spent an estimated $400MM of the teams money on a very, very lavish lifestyle, which includes the purchase of something like 10 multi-million dollar homes.
and he bought the Dodgers in the first place without having much cash- it’s a deal that Selig never should have approved in the first place.
cmon, dodger fan. you should know this… or have you come over to the orange and black yet?

No, I mean...
I get that he’s been a very naughty boy with the team’s money. I understand – and have railed against – the fact that he was able to leverage the team in order to buy it before he was ever the titled owner.
What I’m saying is, the Dodgers are not the Kansas City Royals. They’re not the Yankees, either, but annual revenues for a team with their pricing structure and annual attendance, that’s not a trivial sum of money we’re talking about. $400 million of embezzlement should not have driven them to insolvency. Which suggests to me that this rabbit hole has to go much deeper than 10 palatial homes, or the debt we know about. I’m wondering what iceberg is lurking under the surface waiting to pop up once the bankruptcy trial deepens.

ahh, I see. Well in that case, consider the bankruptcy trial an icefield. It’s gonna get worse, a whole lot worse.

OT: Nice to see D-Train back in the majors
From ESPN.com:
The Cincinnati Reds are calling up pitcher Dontrelle Willis from Triple-A Louisville and plan to start him Sunday against the Milwaukee Brewers, a source close to the team told ESPN.com.
Willis, 29, takes the place of Edinson Volquez, who has been optioned to Louisville to work out his control issues. The Reds nearly called up Willis earlier this week when Bronson Arroyo suffered a bout of dizziness during a bullpen session, but Arroyo recovered to make his next scheduled start.
Willis, the 2003 NL Rookie of the Year and a 22-game winner in 2005, has bounced around with several clubs recently. He’s been with the Detroit Tigers, Arizona Diamondbacks, San Francisco Giants and Reds organizations the past 13 months.
In 13 starts with Louisville this season, Willis has made significant strides in addressing some longstanding control problems. He’s 5-2 with a 2.63 ERA and has 67 strikeouts and only 20 walks in 75 1/3 innings.
The Reds are a disappointing 44-45, thanks in part to inconsistency in the starting rotation. Cincinnati’s starters rank 15th among the 16 NL clubs with a 4.63 ERA.

AP update on last night's death at a Rangers game
The last sentence is the kicker for me.
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) – Texas Rangers president Nolan Ryan says grief counseling has been made available to players following the death of a fan who plunged over an outfield railing trying to catch a baseball.
Ryan spoke Friday, the day after 39-year-old firefighter Shannon Stone fell during Thursday night’s game in Arlington, Texas, as he reached for a foul ball tossed to him by outfielder Josh Hamilton.
Stone was at the game with his 6-year-old son, Cooper.
Ryan says he spoke with the firefighter’s widow by telephone. He says Jenny Stone told him that “she’s very concerned about her son and the impact that this is having on him.”

Even at six…unless he’s turning 7 soon and /or has experienced a lot of death with pets or family members…. they don’t quite get the whole death thing quite yet. They can still be very bound by their senses at that age, and there’s not a lot of abstract thinking going on. Many young six year olds are still grappling with issues of fantasy vs. reality and lies vs. truth.
Poor kid.
My best friend’s five year old lost her father this year, and it has been so hard to help her understand death. She contstantly wants to talk about her dad, though, which I think is good. She’s not all hung up on taboo subjects like adults are. Every once in awhile, she will say something like, “I’m afraid my mom is going to die, too,” and I just want to weep in a corner in the fetal position.

I genuinely feel for the guy. He’s been through rough times, many of them self-inflicted, and his comeback story was pretty great, even as a Giants fan. Now something like this happens, a horrible accident that’s not at all his fault, and he has to deal with feelings of guilt and who knows what else. I hope the Rangers get him some counseling ASAP.

aren't you funny today!!
it’s common sense. you know fans are going to reach over rails to get balls, so don’t throw it where someone is prone to reaching over the rails.
I’m not saying this is Hamiltons fault, hell, it may be the Rangers fault because this is the 2nd fan who has fallen over their short railings in 2 years, but Hamilton didn’t use good judgement, IMO. And Stone shouldn’t have been leaning over the rail anyways.
Freak accident, sure, but not blameless.

Good point.
Next time Hamilton should fire one at top speed into the stands. No danger of rail-dropping there.
Hamilton was doing a nice thing.
Yea well
Freak accident. Not sure how you can say flipping a ball into the stands is negligent….
Also this is why I fear heights and the first row.
Time to repeat in '11!
Definitely freak accident
I don’t buy much into the whole God has a mysterious plan for everyone and this was all apart of His plan. But if that helps Josh cope, then so be it. It didn’t even really look like he was leaning over too hazardously either, but just completely loss balance in a dangerous area.
I wonder how the guy who caught part of Stone’s leg feels. The inevitable feelings of guilt for everyone involved must be tremendous. This really could have happened to anyone.

But prospects and control are where it’s at. In particular if the Mets are cashing it in for 2011, they would not be interested in our relievers – they will want to build for the future and demand Wheeler, Surkamp or both depending on what we want in exchange.

If w are talking trade with the Cardinals, Dirty makes sense
The Cards back end of the rotation is bad. Dirty could help. Guy I would be most interested in is John Jay. Most McCovens will say: “another outfielder, we don’t need one”. I would argue if Jay could be had, we need to get him. Not just for this year but I believe he would be under control for the next couple of years. And by the way, as the season is shaping up, I wouldn’t be surprised if the only outfielder in our future is Nate.

didn’t mean to say they were in any way equal, but I don’t think you should trade Wheeler or Belt+Sanchez for a guy only 2 years younger than Nate who is also having a worse year than him.

Soak a brisket in a brine with pickling spices for 5 days. Take out, pat dry and put it on a rack, uncovered, in the fridge overnight. The next morning, hot smoke it for 6 hours or so (my barbecue has a sidecar for smoking) or until you think it’s sufficiently smoky and cooked well. Once it’s done, dredge in a mixture of crushed cumin and black pepper. Refrigerate, slice and enjoy.

I’m going to write up a Fanpost about this, but for now:
[img width/height=“number” src=“yourimage.com/image.jpg”]
For the sake of clarity
DON’T type width/height only pick width OR height, whichever you’re adjusting.
Oh, but wait — is that even right?
Yeh.
You can do both, but you need to keep the ratio the same as the original, else the picture will be squeezed or stretched; if you just do one, I gather it auto-sets the other by the original ratio.
Do any or all of the rest of the HTML standard settings available for the <img> tag also work? (I am too lazy to experiment.)

Uh . . .
. . . meant to say do both individually—sorry for any confusion. That is, you could do:
<img width=“100” height=“50” src= &c &c
But if the original was 200 × 150, the result would be a badly squeezed image (what should be a width of 75 would be packed into 50).

This is pretty funny
INJURIES OF THE HALF-YEAR
First prize — Padres bullpen catcher Justin Hatcher needed two shots of penicillin in May — after getting bit by a squirrel in the bullpen at Coors Field.
Second prize — Cardinals reliever Brian Tallet might never live down this one. He just headed for the 15-day disabled list with one of those dreaded sneezing injuries (in the old rib cage). Which would be bad enough if it didn’t mean he was also about to spend as many days on the DL — after sneezing — as the guy who replaced him on the roster, a fellow named Albert Pujols, just spent with a fractured bone in his forearm.
Third prize — Marlins reliever Clay Hensley fell down the stairs at the team hotel, fractured his scapula and wound up on the disabled list.
Fourth prize — It hurt enough that Braves outfielder Jordan Schafer fouled a ball off his face and fractured a sinus cavity in a June 3 game against the Mets. But just to make sure he needed to drop an extra Advil, he also managed to strike out when he wasn’t even in the batter’s box. How’d that happen? Glad you asked. After Schafer staggered off the field, Eric Hinske headed for the plate with two strikes, missed strike three and hung that whiff on Schafer’s stat sheet — while he was en route to the hospital for X rays. Ouch!
Fifth prize — Those innovative Brewers sent two different players to the minors on rehab options with one injury — and had them return with another injury. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s Tom Haudricourt reports that they sent out Takashi Saito with a hamstring issue and had him return with an oblique injury. Then Manny Parra headed out with back trouble and came back with elbow problems. Sheez, it’s dangerous down there.
Honorable mention (Spring Training Division) — Two memorable spring training mishaps that lingered into the season: Brewers ace Zack Greinke cracked a rib — in a pickup basketball game. … And Angels reliever Scott Downs was hanging out in flip-flops with his kids, bashed his big toe and had to spend the first week and a half of the season on the disabled list.

“Unfortunately I won’t be able to go,” the Yankees captain said on Friday. “It’s just a situation where after talking with Joe and Cash and Geno, it’d probably be best not to try to push it. Because it’s most important to be ready for the second half. That’s what my focus has to be at. It’s unfortunate because I know you guys know how much I enjoy going to All-Star games. I love playing in All-Star games. Especially getting voted in by the fans, it’s something I would like to do but I’ll try to be smart about it. I know I can be stubborn a lot of times when it comes to injuries, but I’m going to try to be smart about it.”

Memory lane
Amanda Nelsen and Brandon McCarthy first met eleven years ago in high school but eventually, they went their separate ways. However, love blossomed when the two reconnected in Arizona (where Amanda went to college) three years ago. Last December, before heading out of town for the holidays, Brandon, a pitcher for the Texas Rangers, and Amanda, who works in fashion, had planned a dinner date at Nick and Sam’s. The two were seated at a quiet, cozy booth in the corner. When their server arrived with champagne and caviar, Amanda became suspicious. But during the long, romantic dinner she saw nothing out of the ordinary – although there was something out of the ordinary right in front of her. Sometime during the meal, Brandon had managed to slip an engagement ring into her glass of champagne but she hadn’t noticed because she wasn’t drinking it! When she finally made the discovery, she "cried a waterfall of tears" and accepted his proposal. They will say their "I do’s" on November 20 in Dallas.

It's minor, but . . .
. . . they’d actually be better batting Burrell 3rd and Sandoval 4th (it’s a TB/PA thing—Burrell has power, but also walks a lot, which is good in general but not ideal for #4, where Sandoval’s style plays perfectly).
And I’d like to see Huff at #2, though Bochy would probably screw that up by making him do stuff he shouldn’t be asked to do.

No, occasionally center fielders.
But they need to be as much like Omar Moreno as possible to qualify. Above all, though, they must be men who have communed with the same spirits as Shawon Dunston, and have received the ancestral wisdom of scorning unmanly walks.

Time to break out this chart
"Lee pitches...Renteria hits a high drive, deep left-center field, David Murphy going back, he's on the warning track—it is...go-one!"
Yeah, this was made right before he started getting regular time there
He’s still not very good, though.
"Lee pitches...Renteria hits a high drive, deep left-center field, David Murphy going back, he's on the warning track—it is...go-one!"
I would like to see Sandoval at #2, preferably if he would put up the same sort of OBP that he had in 2009.
"Lee pitches...Renteria hits a high drive, deep left-center field, David Murphy going back, he's on the warning track—it is...go-one!"
Not a bad thought.
But he’s so useful for #4. You like #2 to have a high OBP, true, but you like it to have a higher proportion of walks than is found farther down the lineup.

he hit 4 HRs in 2 days, and I don’t believe he’s hit one since then.
also, he has something like 24 or 26 walks on the season in 350 ABs. Not PAs, but ABs. that’s horrible.

It was just a sample of the longer conversation airing next week. But basically he talked about starting range of motion exercises with the ankle and starting to put a little pressure on it with the stationary bike.
He said watching the replay of his injury on TV doesn’t bother him.
He doesn’t feel that his injury is serious compared to other sports injuries.
He fully expects to be ready for Opening Day 2012.

Even were everyone back who is expected back . . .
. . . Hall could be very useful, a Uribe type who can play 3B, SS, and 2B (which last appears to actually be his weakest position for some reason, if one believes some of the fielding stats) and hit passably or better. His very-SSS stat line with the Giants, had his BABIP been at his career level, would be exactly as that career would have projected to (9 hits instead of 6, his Giants BABIP being .200 even); he did hit some so-so infield grounders, but he also hit several quite crisp line drive that were caught deep in the outfield. A useful player.
The question becomes how to juggle the lot: Fontenot, Crawford, Sandoval, Tejada, plus Hall is one too many (and will be two too many whenever FSanchez is back). Hall is especially useful because he’s the only one that can play all three middle-left positions decently. Tejada obviously should be the first gone, but Bochy would as soon give up his nose and upper lip.

Do you really think Hall is more valuable than Fontenot. Because Frodo hits better and he’s played all three positions this year.
Get well soon, Buster, Freddy, Frodo and Belt.
Yes.
Hall’s career batting is decent for a middle infielder—distinctly better than Juan Uribe’s—but nontrivially lower than FSanchez and Fontenot (who are much alike in net offensive worth). Also, Fontenot at SS or 3B is feasible, but far from optimal; Hall seems to have played well at both those spots.

Holy crap
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM, India — What should India, rising but still plagued by poverty, do with a newly discovered treasure of gold coins, statues and jewels in the vault of a Hindu temple, valued at some $22 billion?
That is an absurd amount of treasure to just be discovered in some temple.
The first six innings are overrated.
I should contact them. Pretty sure I own that temple.

“Yes, India? Hi, it’s Barack. Yeah, I’m fine. Listen, I hate to even ask, — you’re gonna laugh — can we, uh, use summa that gold? Just enough to cover us until the end of the month, and then we get paid again. I gotta make rent, or the landlady’s going to evict the United States.”
TheLetter2: East Coast Boogaloo
On Friday, the court put off the opening of the last of six vaults under the temple and ordered the state government and royal family to come up with a plan to secure the treasure. Previous attempts to open the vault have been unsuccessful because the entrance is sealed with a thick steel door and granite pillars, said Shashi Bhushan, the archeologist who is also an informal adviser to the royal family. A previous king failed in an effort to enter that vault in 1931.
Local legend has it that the vault is filled with snakes, but Mr. Bhushan, who wrote a 120-page history of the temple for the Supreme Court, dismisses those tales as hearsay. He said the court-appointed committee opening the vaults was searching for blacksmiths who may be familiar with ancient metallurgical methods to assist them.
Alright, I’m convince the NYT just got tricked by viral marketing for a new Indiana Jones movie.

Yeah, I’d have to somewhat agree. I grew up in a single parent family and work my ass off all through high school and college. You can’t be out partying all hours of the night when you have to wake up to go to one of your 3 jobs the next morning.
My best friend spent most of his youth going in an out of hospitals. When he wasn’t doing that, he was being used as a tug-o-war between his hippy parents, of which the less responsible wound up winning. And don’t get me started about his brother and sister.
Being an adult got him the heck out of there.

Remember what must happen for Carlos Beltran trade to happen: Mets would probably have to eat $5-$7 million—and take Grade B-/C+ prospect.

How about some batting instead?
Burrell – Torres – Beltran
With Ross or Schierholtz as the floating 4th (depending on who might be gone), and Rowand DFA if not tradeable.

But lol Rockies because they’re still like a million games back.
"Lee pitches...Renteria hits a high drive, deep left-center field, David Murphy going back, he's on the warning track—it is...go-one!"
They're becoming a small miracle of ineptness.
This is shaping up as the second consecutive season of drastically underperforming their reasonable expectations from career values. They should have dominated the division last season, and been breathing down the Giants’ collective neck this one. Not that anyone here is unhappy about it.

I have no idea what's going to happen at the trading deadline
The only thing I’m certain of is Tony Reagins will find a way to pick up Albert Haynesworth’s contract.

And I will help, for I’m not sure El Person is up to the job.

Another theoretical Beltran option: Swap for pricey veteran climbing arb. ladder. J.Sanchez (3.81 ERA, 1.45 WHIP) will make about $8-9 m ’12

I would like Beltran for the rest of this year but I’d be afraid sabean would give him a silly extension and we’d end up with another rowand on our hands.
Never in doubt.
