Giants/Padres Series Preview

PrintThere are a lot of benefits to the Giants contending. The first is that the Giants are contending. Oh, it can get frustrating to watch a team not score again and again and again, and that will lead to silly all-caps posts in Comic Sans, but deep down I know that Giants fans are mostly lucky to enjoy another season where the team is playing meaningful games in August and (hopefully) September. For example, I got a text from the Padres fan the other day, which read something like this:
Blah blah run differential blah blah unlucky blah blah blah not fair blah blah blah Garry Templeton
It's hard to tell his texts apart.
But he has a good point. The Padres have scored more runs than they've allowed, something the Giants haven't managed, yet they're hanging out at the bottom of the division, playing pinochle with James Loney and Aaron Miles. The Padres actually have four players in the starting lineup with an OPS+ of 100 or better, which the Giants aren't able to do with Posey and Sanchez out, and Brandon Belt going to the Rays in a waiver deal for Kelly Shoppach. The pitching isn't as strong as last year's, but the Padres are actually hitting a lot better lately:
| Split | G | GS | PA | AB | R | H | 2B | 3B | HR | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1st Half | 1296 | 92 | 3444 | 3070 | 304 | 709 | 129 | 20 | 48 | .231 | .300 | .333 | .633 |
| 2nd Half | 540 | 37 | 1434 | 1283 | 192 | 341 | 65 | 16 | 25 | .266 | .330 | .400 | .730 |
It's even more dramatic in August, as the Padres are hitting .284/.343/.449 as a team. That's like a team of unbroken Buster Poseys, and they can all steal bases when Tim Lincecum is distracted. Scary, if a little unsustainable.
But the biggest benefit to my favorite team contending is that it only bothers me that Jesus Guzman is some sort of robo-beast now. It doesn't destroy me. It's only really, really, really irritating. Two years ago, PECOTA told the world that a good comp for Jesus Guzman was Rikkert Faneyte. Now he's Adrian Gonzalez reborn out of the ashes. Okay. Whatever.
I used to think Jesus Guzman was going to be the Andres Torres for the Giants -- the random non-prospect minor-league free agent who would lead us to ... well, I don't know what. But I thought it was going to be him. Turns out it was Torres. That was pretty cool last year.
| Year | Age | Tm | Lg | G | AB | H | 2B | 3B | HR | RBI | BB | SO | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2009 | 25 | Fresno | PCL | 115 | 452 | 145 | 26 | 5 | 16 | 71 | 37 | 82 | .321 | .379 | .507 | .885 |
| 2010 | 26 | Fresno | PCL | 125 | 445 | 143 | 28 | 1 | 18 | 72 | 38 | 68 | .321 | .376 | .510 | .886 |
| 2011 | 27 | Tucson | PCL | 63 | 244 | 81 | 22 | 1 | 8 | 57 | 34 | 42 | .332 | .423 | .529 | .951 |
If the Giants were still the team from 2005 through 2008, though, this would kill me. After all the Benzingers, Niekros, Minors, Desis ... there was finally a first baseman who floated to us on a oyster shell, and we let him leave like it was nothing. For shame.
Now? Dang. Really annoying. But those BB/SO columns make me think that he would never have done that with the Giants.
Padres: Say, have you thought about not swinging at everything?
Guzman: Don't want to lose my per diem, Skip.
Padres: That's actually not our policy. That was your last minor league team.
Guzman: Okay, Skip. Whatever you say.
So good for you, Padres. Now please keep him the hell away from us.
Hitter to watch
That whole thing was a hitter to watch.
Pitcher to watch
Not Mike Adams. That's alllllllll I care about. I know the Giants nicked him up a couple of times, but he was the most annoying pitcher in baseball. Not because of anything he did, but because he was so coldly efficient. He'd come in a one-run game and throw a nine-pitch inning before you could throw something at the TV. The Padres will just make another Mike Adams out of the Mike Adams shavings they have in a drawer, but at least we don't have to see the real thing for a while.
Predictions
The Padres steal a base.

From AZSnakepit
Kelly Johnson is one player away from what would have been a Type A free agent in the NL. Granted, based on his skid this past month, he might have not have been able to make it into Type A, but there’s a reasonable shot he would have.
Aaron Hill, is currently 4 players away from NOT having any status as a FA. He would be the 5th lowest Type B middle infielder in the NL. And frankly, even if he does manage to stay on as a Type B free agent until the end of the season….do we really want to risk offering him arbitration?

It makes it even better that it’s a reply to yourself.
Antholopous is a diabolical genius
They could very well sign the second baseman considering the lack of tenable in-house options they have. Adeiny Hechavarria has loved Las Vegas, but it’s still unclear if he’s got the stick for a regular role in the major leagues. Brett Lawrie has played second, but he was moved off the position for a reason. There’s one dark horse option remaining. Considering the fact that they may be in line for a significant payroll boost this off-season, the Blue Jays could make a run at Jose Reyes. Yunel Escobar‘s defense has been strong this year, but more based on his arm than his range, so it’s unclear who would move. One thing seems to stick out: of the three best middle infield free agents this offseason, the Jays will have one on their roster the rest of the way

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP)—Tennessee’s Pat Summitt plans to coach "as long as the good Lord is willing" despite recently being diagnosed with early onset dementia.
In a statement from Summitt released by the university on Tuesday, the Hall of Fame coach said she visited with doctors at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., after the end of the 2010-11 basketball season ended and was diagnosed with early onset dementia—Alzheimer’s type—over the summer.
Summitt, 59, told the Knoxville paper she plans to rely on medication and mental exercises to manage the progressive condition that destroys cognitive abilities over time.

Dementia
I know there are several stages, but what are we really talking about as far as early onset? Is it stuff like forgetting how to get home? Is it forgetting where you left your keys? The only reason I ask is whether this is something that would cause memory lapses as far as game plans or strategies prepared ahead of time.

Napoli was because we needed the playing time elsewhere
Namely to get Molina and Encarnacion the playing time to get to type-B. We currently look like getting 3 supplemental picks for letting him go and getting Francisco.
That seems a little silly
Molina is 36 and Encarnacion is playing as the DH.
Napoli is 29, decent defensively, averages a 2.6 oWAR in 6 seasons…you do not trade away a catcher like that for a RP.

Agreed, it was a big risk
and wasn’t popular with a lot of Jays fans, but it was basically a utility slugger we had no playing time for (time had been promised to both Molina and Encarnacion) for some veteran bullpen support and at least one pick, and maybe three. AA has a real obsession for acquiring those draft picks. Has helped that Molina is OPSing over .800 and Encarnacion is over .850OPS for the season
Confused
do you mean J.P. Arencibia…who has an OPS of .712 right now
Encarnacion has a OPS of .797.
Napoli has an OPS of .978 and is decent defensive catcher.

Arencibia was the catcher of the future
And the Jays were commited to giving him starters work. Molina was already signed to back him up, look after the young staff and mentor Arencibia. The catcher time wasn’t up for grabs. If Molina wasn’t already signed i’d agree with you, but Napoli was basically a throw in on top of us dumping $80million of Wells contract, AA just flipped him for picks as we were already set for the year.
Understandable...
but still silly to me…Napoli played 6 years as a catcher and Jose Molina was signed for $1 million.
AA certainly could have waited to deal one of the three C.

Agreed
but our bullpen was a disaster coming into the season (and as it has been all season anyway) and addressing that plus the picks plus the logjam of promised playing time evidently enticed him into making the trade.

are notoriously unreliable and interchangeable…

No arguement again
but our bullpen has been almost historically bad this year, we’ve blown 20+ saves. After cashing in last years solid pen for draft picks we were running on fumes and just needed bodies with a chance of being good.

The Bautista contract is not lucky. It was panned at the time and it’s clear that it was a great move. He also did NOT have the pieces that the Cardinals wanted. The Cardinals wanted Edwin Jackson as the centerpiece. Any time you pull a 3 way trade where you acquire a centerpiece the other team wants, and then ship him, you don’t just “have the pieces”

AA was the guy as assistant GM that brought Bautista to Ricciardi
He got JP to okay the deal but it was his scouting. Fun Fact eh.
Rios though was the lucky break JP left him, losing that cost was big.
Except
he was pretty awful his first two years in Toronto.

My son, so I'm told. And this stalwart young lad (Hi, free f.p. #14!).
In 2007 I went to a game and sat in the last bleacher section in LF. For some reason, my ticket was right smack dab in the middle of a group of kids and teachers from a private junior high who were going to the game for their class trip. They could not have cared less. One kid sat the entire game with his back to the field. I hoped (not really) that a home run would whack him right in the back of the head, geez.
They left in like the 7th inning, and after that I was suddenly the only person in the entire first 15 rows of the section. It was really weird.

That sounds a lot like how my son roots for teams (he’s not quite 3). Now that he knows there is a team called the Reds, he may be lost to the Giants forever.
At least he stopped doing the pre-waggle Rowand batting stance. I don’t know how I would’ve explained that to a future t-ball coach.
I'm as tall as Mel. Why can't I hit 500 home runs?
My nephew is 6 and he’s beginning to understand the game. He does play-by-play now, and he uses his Star Wars action figures to set up defenses. I think Boba Fett plays CF.

I'm just confused why you think that the chance of him getting injured is less in the minor leagues than in the majors

No…but he can focus on hitting and his injury instead of 1) playing the field and 2) trying to contribute to the team winning…

I don’t think playing the field and “trying to contribute” would present such a problem for him. If he’s going to swing at game pitches, he may as well do it with the major league club. He would receive little to no benefit from a minor league stint.

Surkamp Question
when is he scheduled to pitch again? I know they are in Altoona right now, Verdugo went last night, and they have one of those 7 inning makeup double headers today/tonight and then play again tomorrow. I’m in N NJ and thinking about making the 4 hour trip to go see him if he is pitching.

Altoona had a major league team once.
"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!"
http://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/ALT/1884.shtml
"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!"
WTF
They took 22 walks as a team, and 45% of the runs they allowed were unearned. The SPs must have been friends with the “official scorer.”
My adopted Giant, the young Reinier Roibal
19th century
There were a lot more unearned runs back then. Also the UA was basically a minor league.
"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!"
So Beltran is elibable now correct?
If he (or anyone lese0 thinks he’s going to be 100% this year they are nuts. Bottom line – if he has pain but no increased risk of a serious injury, its time for him to suck it up and play. If, otoh, he has an increased risk, then he stays on the DL. And I question if they will get him back.
Also – did I truly see Rowand is in the lineup today instead of Nate? That can only mean that Nate is now dinged up. GREAT.
Last, why can’t Beltran play center? He id it for years. If he comes back it has to be Belt, Beltran and Nate in the of. No one else deserves to start.
He hasn’t been activated yet.

Schierholtz Update Incoming
@ScottReissCSN
Scott Reiss
Bochy will tell us about Nate in a few, but I am told its fallout from fouling ball off foot in HOU. Sounds like no DL, maybe a few days.
But
Andrew Baggarly
@extrabaggs
Schierholtz’s foot is bothering him. Same one he fouled a ball off in Atlanta. No roster move yet but DL certainly possible.

That has a framed cutout of a Palo Alto Daily news section covering the first game of the ’62 season. It starts out by saying the Giants are the team to beat in the NL this season if they play like this. So prescient. Also, mays cepeda alou middle of the order with marichal on the mound…delicious

1) He wears pinstripes

The first six innings are overrated.
not why they wear 'em

So, the story of me being an idiot
I use MLB.TV when I’m in school and thus pay for it month by month. When I came home for the summer I forgot to cancel it.
So I paid for two months ($24.99 per) and then noticed on my bank statement the day I got charged for my 3rd. I never used the account the entire time.
However, I e-mailed them asking for a refund of at least August thinking there’d be no way they’d refund the other two months. But today I just got $75! MLB.TV has made me a happy customer today.
That is cray-z.
An idiot wouldn’t have recovered the $. You, Sir, are no idiot.

Although not as important as Posey, Sandoval or Beltran, Nate’s the one I really have been hoping would stay healthy due to him finally getting consistent playing time. Lame.
That is cray-z.

So trying to figure out the Snakes trade today
I guess the key wasn’t swapping 2nd basemen, appears Gibson was tired of watching the Bloomquist/Ransom act since Drew got injured. He apparently really likes MacDonald who will play shortstop allegedly every day.

apparently
he spent time on the DL with a “fractured testicle”. No cast needed. The way it is explained is there is a membrane or sack directly encasing the testicle and Snyder experience a “tear” in the membrane and requires time to heal.
