Official Too Early To Panic Panic Thread

PrintEvery year. I just don't learn. Every year I get surprised by the spate of minor tweaks and twerks that come with resuming baseball activities after a long hiatus. Right now, for example, TIM LINCECUM IS BROKEN. SOURCE.
Giants right-hander Tim Lincecum was scratched from his scheduled bullpen throwing stint Tuesday morning with a stiff back.Lincecum threw briefly on flat ground before retiring to the athletic trainers' room to receive treatment. The injury isn't considered serious.
IT ISN'T CONSIDERED SERIOUS. Oh, wait. It isn't considered serious. It would be swell to escape spring training without a single one of these stories -- easier on the ol' ticker when you see the headline crawl across Twitter -- but they're inevitable. Lincecum and Ryan Vogelsong have one functional back between them right now, but it's February. Everyone is getting back into shape. Heck, I pulled my groin doing power rankings again because the offseason made me soft.
...
Anyway, you should click on that power-rankings link. That was the main point of that last paragraph. The point of the whole post is that Tim Lincecum's back is stiff, and now we're aware of it. The ancillary point is that you should go through the comments on the SFGiants.com story on Lincecum.
He's hurt and knew it when he held the Giants and their fans hostage for his last contract. it should be illegal. Everyone said his body would break down quickly because of bad mechanics!
Part of me wishes there were some sort of service I could pay to create this endless entertainment; the rest of me is glad that it already exists, and it's free.

How soon until his shoulder explodes in a display of fireworks and confetti?
The human arm is not designed to throw a ball as hard as that for very long.
Reds manager Dusty Baker spoke about the pitching plan for Aroldis Chapman this morning. Chapman is preparing as a starter.
“We’re going to stretch him out to see if there’s time,” Baker said. “If there’s not time and there’s not quality, you can always back off a guy.”
Chapman started the transition in the offseason, but he was shut down with shoulder tightness before a start in the Arizona Fall League. That kept him from going to Winter Ball.

We apparently have different understandings of “most” and “over Rowand.”
Most of Torres’ starts in April and May were not in center field (aside from Rowand’s DL stint), Torres’ June starts were split almost exactly evenly between center and right (while Rowand still had more starts in center than Torres), and Rowand and Torres had the exact same number of starts (if I counted correctly) in center field during July. It wasn’t until late July that Torres actually supplanted Rowand in center; he was supplanting LOL BOWKER, DeRLOLsa and Nate in the corners up until that point.

I sometimes wonder what it would be like to be the editor who first passed through the Breaking Dawn manuscript. By that point the series had grown so big that whatever Stephanie Meyer gave you was going to get through.
So she went for broke.
But somewhere… somewhere along the line some poor editor had to read that fourth manuscript with the professional intent of giving constructive feedback. And I wonder, I do wonder, exactly at which point they just gave up and passed it on for proofing.

That was so out of character.
Baltar deserved it, tho.
Proud parent of Gregor Blanco, the Mountain that Walks, MVP of the VWL.
It was entirely in character
After the New Caprica escape his character was defined by rage. The perjury was just an attempt to murder Baltar.
And Baltar did not deserve it. He committed two major crimes on the show, but was charged with neither at that trial.
Gaeta was the spy that kept them alive on NC,
and instead of being acknowledged as a hero, he was almost murdered for it. He knew what a dangerous person Baltar was and that he needed killing.
Proud parent of Gregor Blanco, the Mountain that Walks, MVP of the VWL.
Gaeta almost got killed because he was too stupid to make his defense and reveal himself as the inside source until Starbuck almost beat it out of him.
Gaeta wanted to kill Baltar because Baltar knew about Gaeta’s feeding names to his Cylon 8 mistress, getting civilians killed.
Everybody knew how dangerous Baltar was (well not entirely, since nobody ever found out he was responsible for the Cloud Nine nuke), but Roslin gave a blanket pardon to all humans on New Caprica. But somehow that didn’t apply to Baltar because “we don’t like you very much. Because you’re arrogant. Because you’re weak. Because you’re a coward, and we, the mob, want to throw you out of the airlock, because you didn’t stand up to the Cylons and get yourself killed in the process.”
This sounds like a level of BSG fandom that I don’t want to get into. I enjoyed the show, that’s enough for me.

He put up an 89 OPS+ with atrocious defense and nightmarish baserunning. Regardless of what we gave up for him, it was stupid to even let him on the team. He took playing time from people like Nate and Ross, who could have helped the team much more.

Then I realized you were referring to autoformat.
That’s not the argument. Moreover, those players were actually playing well when they were acquired.
Guillen when acquired from KC:
.255/.314/.429 with bad defense
Cabrera when acquired from CLE:
.244/.277/.321 with bad defense

The freakout is irrelevant, as it had nothing to do with their performance before or after the trade. They were relievers having nice years, not flailing clankmitts in the twilight of their careers.
We may not have lost much in acquiring them, but that doesn’t make them anything other than stupid trades.

they were trades that people didn’t think would work out and didn’t work.
Giants needed a RHB power bat when they picked up Guillemot and a SS when they picked up Cabrera.
Would the trades been unnecessary if Guillen hit like Burrell in 2010 or Cabrera turned out like Tejada did for SD in 2010?

I agree
but it’s just as outlandish as thinking Guillen was going to hit like Burrell or Cabrera would produce when there was no historical or current evidence to show they might.
did you expect Burrell to hit like Burrell did 2010 after hitting atrociously for 1.5 years?
of course there was a low chance of success that Cabrera would be good but that is why they gave up only Neal, who has a low chance of being a MLB player

1) Do you listen to yourself? Earlier you talked about how people where upset about that.
2) If you check that thread, I was one of the biggest opponents of that trade. Yeah it worked out and I was wrong, but I still think the idea behind it was flawed.
3) You could at least defend those guys as being recently useful. Lopez before being traded to the Giants had an ERA+ of 146 for Pittsburgh. That season. Ramon Ramirez? ERA+98 for 2010 before coming to the Giants, but the year before it was 141. Cabrera and Guillen were bad and had been bad for years before they were traded for.
1) I am talking about now
2) You may think the process is flawed but there is more than one way or POV as to the process
3) Bowler and Martinez were much more valuable than Neal.

You could easily argue the trade was unncessary.
For instance.
Orlando Cabrera hit worse than Brandon Crawford (who he was brought into replace) and played worse defense.
Look! It wasn’t hard!
Also, Cabrera, before the trade was only hitting .015 percent of OPS better than what Crawford ended up with.
I DID IT AGAIN!
1) The comparison was obviously tongue in cheek. Try to keep up.
2) You have been repeatedly told because you keep arguing the point.
3) The trade was not necessary. We traded for Miguel Tejada’s doppleganger. There was no reason to believe he was anything else.

I broke my feelings down about him on NN one day like so:
His uptick in both TDs and INTs tells me primarily that he just took a lot more shots, but wasn’t really any more successful at taking them.
Like, if I turn 15% of my shots into TDs and 10% into INTs, the totals just depend on what percentage of my total throws are "shots", assuming non-shots wash out well enough. So I throw 500 times and take 100 shots, I get 15 TDs and 10 INTs. Out of the total 500 throws, that 15 looks kinda low, and that 10 looks pretty good.
But now say I get the same number of throws the next season, but take twice as many shots. Now I have 30 TDs and 20 INTs. Those TD numbers look great, but those INT numbers are getting ugly.
My conversion rate on those risky throws is no different from before. I’m just taking them at a greater rate. And both lines look super different in the context of 500 total attempts.
But Sanchez’s other numbers are all pretty much in line with his 2010. Marginal uptick in what is still a bad completion rate. Identical to slightly worse yard per attempt, adjusted or not.
So the main difference to me is that the coaches went, "Hey Sanchez, let it rip a little more this year." But I don’t know that he’s actually any better at letting it rip than he ever was. And he’s certainly no better at anything else.

He’s still young, so he has that going for him, and he’s just not bad enough to stick for another year or two until he stops being young. We’ll see what he does with the opportunity. My guess: Not much.

I don’t know that book at all, give us some more details. Nevermind, the wonders of google and wikipedia.
Tender Is the Night is a novel by American writer F. Scott Fitzgerald. It was his fourth and final completed novel, and was first published in Scribner’s Magazine between January-April, 1934 in four issues. The title is taken from the poem “Ode to a Nightingale” by John Keats.
I’d compare it with “Ode to a Nightingale” by John Keats if I were you!

New info from Baggs as welll
— Angel Pagan also arrived at his locker today. So did Freddy Sanchez, who has been doing agility drills, hitting and throwing most of the offseason here in Scottsdale.
Sanchez still hasn’t done any throwing besides playing catch. He hasn’t taken infield, other than just picking up ground balls. He still hasn’t thrown to bases, let alone try to turn the pivot on a double play.
Manager Bruce Bochy wasn’t sure if that would be in the cards for Sanchez on Friday, when the club has its first full-squad workout.
“It’ll be pretty close," Bochy said.
Expect Sanchez to DH in the first week of spring games, at least.

My advice would be to have at least 4 days of classes. Since most college kids wait til the day before to do anything, that makes it so that you don’t get avalanched one day.

I agree with that. If I only had two days I’m afraid I would just treat the other 5 like a weekend and derail.

This Affeldt/Bumgarner story is hilarious
Affeldt bought dough from the supermarket and put Bumgarner to work in the kitchen. He told Bumgarner, " ‘You! You make me cookies. You’re staying in this house, free rent.’
“I made him put on this apron, and he made cookies. We got pictures. Ali was sitting there. We enjoyed it.”
Bumgarner remembers it differently, saying Affeldt made the cookies, forced Bumgarner to remove them from the oven, then snapped the photo.

Matt Cain also befriended him early and helped him through last year’s 0-6 start by whipping out a computer and showing Bumgarner that he (Cain) went through an awful start, too (2-9 in 2007).
Matt: “What’s wrong Madison?”
Madison (sulking): “I just… I just can’t get over the hump. It seems like no matter how hard I try I can’t get the win. It’s like I forgot how to. This is misery. Complete misery.”
Matt sits down next o Madison. Puts a hand on his shoulder. Madison looks up directly into Matt’s face. Cain with his other hand slaps Bumgarner across the face.

Baggs on Cain/Hamels
Some agents believe that if Cain hits the open market, he’d command a contract greater than the six-year, $137.5 million that Johan Santana got from the Mets in 2008. More recently, C.J. Wilson signed a five-year, $77.5 million deal with the Angels in December – but only after turning down six years and almost $100 million from the Florida Marlins.
And Wilson doesn’t have the resume to match Cain or Hamels, who would be the clear stars of the free-agent pitching class next winter.

video Ratto and Baggs on Chronicle Live
Ratto says the Giants injuries in recent days are normal and proportional compared to other teams.
Ratto also says Melky Cabrera was a good return for Jonathan Sanchez. Though he adds that everything hinges on whether Posey returns as a “full-fledged offensive player” like in 2010. The one thing the Giants need more than anything else is a “presence right in the fourth spot” of the lineup. The plan is for Posey to fill that hole. But if he isn’t able to, Ratto says hitters will be batting “not where they ought to be”. Cabrera and the rest of the hitters are just an “adjunct to the heart of the order”.
Baggs agrees that Posey is the fourth spot hitter. He says he’s been watching Posey take batting practice and says he’s been displaying the “easy power” “you associate with him when he’s right”. The Giants “know he can do way more offensively than anyone else, and he’s the linchpin”.
Ratto says the Giants “have to be” better offensively than at the end of last season. If Posey and Freddy Sanchez are in the lineup on opening day, the offense will be “dramatically better” and “credible”.
Baggs thinks the Giants have a more “dynamic” offense than last season. They didn’t have “the ability to go first to third” and were “station to station”. With the additions of Cabrera and Angel Pagan, the Giants are a team who can “manufacture runs better”.
Baggs also think the Rockies “re-invented their lineup” and added “a lot of nice pieces”. The Diamondbacks “have a lot going for them” when it comes to their pitching, especially the talent in the minors.

I have no idea how Posey became "clean up hitter" guy.
He has, like, 20 HR power and a pretty good ISO. Big time slugger, he ain’t.
I’d much rather bat Sandoval cleanup.
But this is appears to be one of those things that the Giants just decide is true and don’t change. Sanchez is a #2 hitter. Posey is a cleanup hitter. Because.

Posey has had most of his ABs out of the 4th spot. You cannot put a price on comfort, especially for a player coming off of such a big injury. It will be tough for Posey to regain his confidence after so much time off if he isn’t playing where he is used to playing.

Statistically I agree
Giants aren’t all about just chewing data. Posey is the leader. Posey tells Lincecum to trust his stuff. He is the leader, the man of confidence. Hitting 4th, is more about making the guys around him better, than anything else, and is Posey’s greatest asset. The team was in 4th place when he came to the team, and when he went down after about a year, they surged to first, won a championship and were still cruising in first place.
As far as Sanchez batting second… he better not, but probably will anyways.

- is less important than #4, since they #3 bats more often with two outs and the bases loaded. Good for a high power, lower OBP guy. Uribe comes to mind for a good fit for #3.

Same goes for Sanchez, but I’m just resigned to that because that’s how these things go. Though there was that one period where Sanchez was scuffling and Bochy dropped him to the bottom of the order for a while.

Bruce Bochy has spent his life dreaming of catchers hitting cleanup. In his career, he was given the chance to bat cleanup 10 times, and he hit .375/.444/.750 in those plate appearances. He hit so well, in fact, that he’s always harbored a grudge about not being made a full-time cleanup hitter. Don’t they see how good I am in the four-hole?, he used to think to himself. Since retiring, he hasn’t been able to stop the dreams.
So now he takes the chance that wasn’t given to him, and gives it to others.

Ratto says the Giants "have to be" better offensively than at the end of last season.
Funny thing about that is that the Giants were good offensively at the end of last season. Not “good for the Giants,” just good. They scored 4.4 runs per game in Sept/Oct and had a 104 wRC+, which would have been third in the NL had they kept it up all season.

It’s not about being a great hitter. It’s about being an improvement over his replacement last year: namely, Hall, Keppinger, Burriss, Fontenot.
If he can fit anything like he was hitting in 2010 and 2011, it will be a useful upgrade.

I’d say Posey’s OBP upside warrants him batting at least 5th; probably higher.

I promise not to argue incessantly about Brandon Crawford. Maybe.
I’m either overestimating good offenses or underestimating Posey’s bat. I certainly think production approaching his ceiling is top-half of the order material. I’m just not sure I want to count on that.
Just for my own reference, I consider the Brewers last year to be a good offensive team, and they had 4 regulars who hit better than I would expect Posey to.
5th is probably fair.

People are probably right that he would be a good fit for a #2 batter. Disciplined, potential to see a lot of pitches, good at getting on base… Whether he is the .500 SLG guy we saw in 2010 or the .390 SLG guy we saw in 2011 is unclear. The answer is somewhere in between. But if he goes ahead and hits .285/.350/.440… That’s going to play just about anywhere.
How much he’ll be able to catch, I don’t know. But if what we are hearing about his swing is true, I think his hitting will be fine. Maybe a ding on AVG and OBP this year as he gets his eye back.

It's very likely that I will delve into the books at the conclusion of this season.
The wait between season one and season two has been excruciating.
Baratheon? Really? My favorite was House Martell, but as I read ADWD I’m starting to really like House Manderly.
I CAN’T BELIEVE DAVOS IS STILL ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!! I just finished that chapter, so I’m not sure where he is headed, but I’m guessing Skaggs. I also like how its eluded too that Ser Manderly is going to have his own Red Wedding in Winterfell…

I like his hypocrisy and thinking of where it came from. When you think about the timeline of his and Robert’s relationship, in particular, you kind of realize it’s fucked up. After their parents died, Robert was meant to be the Lord of Storm’s End, but instead, it would appear he decided to fuck off to the Vale and leave Stannis behind to be in charge at the age of 13 with an infant brother.

Aardsma to Yankees for $500K major league contract.
Bummer. Cheap bullpen depth.
I mean, even at the $2MM he would’ve cost the Giants, that still would’ve been a decent deal.
Why did he twist in the wind for so long? Was he injured last year?

I promise not to argue incessantly about Brandon Crawford. Maybe.
Figured. I would have rather had him than Hensley, obviously, but the major league deal was probably too much for most teams to commit to.
Also, this means the Yankees now have 3 “closers” in their bullpen now. wtf.

I promise not to argue incessantly about Brandon Crawford. Maybe.
Looks like he won’t be ready to go until after mid-season. There’s also an option for 2013. Knowing the Giants, they’d rather have a guy who could pitch right away over an unknown.
Ahhhh. Still, would have been good insurance. Get a quality lefty back mid-season when people are getting worn out, and if he pans out, you can replace one of Affeldt or Lopez as needed, or they can trade him at the deadline maybe. At a price tag of $500K, I don’t see why not.

Totally spit-balling, but I might prefer Hensley to Aardsma. He’s the more flexible reliever and his relief season in 2008 is probably better than anything that Aardsma has ever done. Aardsma is too walky for my liking.
Ask me about my blog.
Yikes, 5 per 9 innings?
I didn’t realize. I can see why you would feel that way.
I remain skeptical of Hensley, but I guess Baggs thought he looked sharp in his first bullpen, whatever that’s worth (read: not much).

Until the walks come down and he demonstrates less spastic behavior with runners on base, he shouldn’t be anything more than the last guy off the bench in the bullpen, if he sniffs the majors at all.
