Uninformed Trade-Mongering, Vol II: Getting Belt Playing Time by Doing Something Repugnant
by Grant Brisbee on Feb 9, 2012 12:05 PM PST
Email
PrintThe last time we had one of these, I coveted Alexei Ramirez without once stepping into a puddle of reality. It was fun. But I'm over that now that I know that Brandon Crawford's PECOTA projections have 18 combined All Star appearances! That makes up for Freddy Sanchez's comparables, which were just "Robocop before they robotted him up" repeated three different times.
This idea will also never happen. But it's February 9th. Live a little.
First, a preface: I'm not actively wringing my hands about the Giants' fifth-starter situation. Zito makes for a good punchline, but I'm not against letting him start. Forget about the contract. Forget that he's owed $19 million this year, which is why the offense didn't improve. Forget that he's owed $20 million next year. Forget that he has an $18 million option that vests for 2014 if he throws enough innings. Forget that there's a $7 million buyout on that option. Forget ..
…
Where … where am I? Is that blood coming out of the corner of my mouth? What's that humming noise? Anywho, I'm okay with Zito as the fifth starter. If his name were Dulbroot Starply, he had the same career stats, and he made the minimum salary, I'd be pleased to take a shot with him as the fifth starter.
What I'm more concerned with is playing time for Brandon Belt. He could be the Giants' third-best hitter this year. Yet he isn't going to play. Considering that Huff got every benefit of the doubt last season despite showing up for spring training in poor shape, I don't think it's especially cynical to think he'll get every benefit of the doubt this season when he's in shape. Best shape of his life, I'd gather.
That means that Sabean needs to debengie the roster again. I think there's a small-yet-real chance that Sabean is just as frustrated as the rest of us about Belt's projected playing time -- that he secretly wished Huff would show up in March looking like he swallowed Don Zimmer, which would lead to Belt starting. But absent that turn of events, Huff will start, and he'll start a lot.
Meanwhile, in New York …
The Yankees have too many starters. A.J. Burnett is available, folks, and he can be allllll ours. But the Yankees aren't just looking to swap bad contracts. They'd like to get at least a little financial relief. The A.J. Burnett sweepstakes is going to come down to which team is willing to eat the most money for the privilege of A.J. Burnett.
The Yankees also need a left-handed DH. They have Andruw Jones, who is cool against lefties, but he has one hit against right-handers in the past five years, and that was against Tim Wakefield, who shouted, "I'm going to throw a fastball now, you crybaby" before he threw a fastball. Jones beat out an infield hit. That might or might not be accurate, but the point is that the Yankees would like a left-handed complement for their DH spot.
You can see where this is going.
The difference between the Huff and Burnett contracts is $21 million. No, the Giants aren't going to pick that up just to get Belt more playing time. But what is more playing time for Belt (plus a gamble on Burnett) worth? If you want to believe in xFIP, Burnett doesn't grade out poorly at all. One of his biggest problems is with dingerz; a move to San Francisco would do him well.
I doubt that there's a team out there that would take on $10 million of Burnett's contract over the next two seasons. Could be wrong, but I don't think the Yankees are going to save a ton of money on this one. They'll just want to save some. Their options:
- Eating $26 million of the $33 million Burnett has left, and paying $2 million to Raul Ibanez or Hideki Matsui (total money saved for the Yankees: $7 million, with $2 million of that spent immediately on DH)
- Eating $16 million and paying $12 million to Huff (total money saved: $5 million, with DH accounted for)
It's the same thing financially as eating everything but $7 million and signing someone else. Depends on how much they want Huff compared to the other guys, I guess. Also depends on if a team will pay more than $7 million for the next two years of Burnett.
And is it worth $5 million to a) get Belt at-bats, and b) push Zito into a real-live competition for the fifth spot? The Giants wouldn't think so, I'm sure. And there's an even more important counterpoint to all of this:
Yeah.
This isn't going to happen. But if I were in charge, I'd at least see what the Yankees are going to have to do in order to get rid of Burnett. Then I'd see if they had any interest in Huff. Other people are thinking thoughts that are just as crazy.
Also of note: Other fans laugh at us because this is the sort of stuff we have to go through just to pretend Brandon Belt could get at-bats.

Hey now…Zim has a pretty interesting story. Other than the whole being a Dodger part, I kind of like Zim
Zimmer nearly died after being hit with a pitch in the temple while with St. Paul in 1953. He was not fully conscious for 13 days, during which holes were drilled in his skull to relieve the pressure of swelling. His vision was blurred, he could neither walk nor talk and his weight plunged from 170 to 124. He was told he was finished at 22.

One-year deal with an option. Then make Lincecum room with him on the road.
In other words
I think Vogelsong has the right amount of question marks about his 2012 season to justify a 5th starter spot. Signing Oswalt moves Vogelsong into the proper spot in the rotation.
The only punctuation associated with Zito are the exclamation points that follow the curse words we all use when watching him pitch.

If the Giants were smart they would eat his salary — as much as needed up to 100% — and pass him to a prospect-rich team with questionable abilities to assess pitching. The Royals just signed Bruce Chen, I couldn’t help notice.
One of the problem with Zito is that he has been the punchline of jokes for so long now
his name is strictly toxic for almost any general manager. Especially if they have to give something up to acquire him.

I think Belt's playing time

This is crazy even by our standards. I dunno. I think Sabes and Bochy like Huff too much to try and run him out of town, Belt or no Belt.
This stems from Sabean saying they treated Belt poorly last year, but not mentioning that he was a part of that.

Then there's Posey...
It isn’t a stretch to think he could end up playing first at least two times a week and possibly more depending on how he holds up catching every day. If that’s the case, then I’d rather have Huff sitting on the bench than Belt, who in all honesty probably wouldn’t be hurt by spending an extra few months in AAA. That said, I’d be thrilled to unload Huff if possible.

It’ll be crazy, since Eli Whiteside will also be on the roster. With Buster at first base, Eli at second, Stewart at SS, and Sandoval at third. And yet, Sanchez stays on the bench.
I bet Jax can play second.

I think last year established that the Giants believed

They'll find a way...
Through injury-but you seem to be forgetting that Belt tore up Fresno and was left there (after admittedly being brought up to start the season), and Posey tore up Fresno and was left there (Posey was also left to rot on the bench in the fall of 2009). I am NOT comparing the potential of Sanchez to that of Posey and Belt. However, it is within reason that Sanchez could be performing very well at AAA, and be left there in favour of Stewart to take over at C twice a week. I’d like to think Burriss won’t make the team. But apparently, his workouts HAVE impressed Sabean…

Luckily for us and Hector both, you can’t carry 26 men on the roster.
Frankly, Stewart should be the backup catcher. Hector Sanchez is 22, and has fewer than 200 plate appearances above A+ ball. He’ll be the starting catcher for Fresno this year, and maybe next year will be ready to back up Posey full time.
"I see these guys walking around with rings on, and I want one. That's what it's all about." -Ryan Vogelsong
Depending on how Posey's ankle turns out...
and how well Sanchez performs at AAA, the Giants could think about giving Posey 60% of his starts at 1B next year and the catching duties on a more substantial basis to Sanchez. It is worth noting that we both agree Sanchez should start the year in AAA. I was expressing a worry that he might perform well, show he is defensively capable and offensively competent to the point he could help the team more than Stewart (this would-hypothetically-be in about early-mid June), and still be stuck there. Or, by some stroke of misfortune, he could find his was up to the roster intermittently and sit. I just fear his development will be tarnished as Belt’s appears to have been.

Turning Posey into a first baseman at age 26 is A Bad Idea™.
Also, it is so unbelievably too early to speculate on Belt being “tarnished.” He has 200 PAs in the majors in his age 23 season.
And finally, there is nothing – I repeat – nothing wrong with Sanchez getting a full year in AAA, unless you regard him as an upgrade over Stewart but a non-prospect overall.

I said Belt's DEVELOPMENT was tarnished...
I sad DEPENDING on how Posey’s ankle turns out
and I never said that there was anything necessarily WRONG with Sanchez spending a year in Triple A if he doesn’t immediately tear the cover off the ball. Solidarity, I like reading your opinions, but for some reason whenever we converse I feel like I’m speaking Afrikaans.

Belt and his development are, for all intents and purposes, the same thing. Either he’ll hit or he won’t. If his development is/was mishandled and he still hits, meh. If his development was mishandled and he is a worse player for it, then Belt is just as tarnished. There’s not really a separate dimension where the Giants win style points.
If Posey’s ankle has seriously affected him, then he’s probably not going to be particularly valuable no matter where he plays.
And Sanchez could hit .600 in Fresno, and the Giants should still keep him there. No conditional statements needed.
"I see these guys walking around with rings on, and I want one. That's what it's all about." -Ryan Vogelsong
Posey would be more be less valuable overall
but more valuable at 1B if his ankle is hurting him to the point where he can’t play C. His swing will still play, especially on this team.
You basically just said that what happened last year will determine the rest of Belt’s career-minutes after stating that it was too early to call. The jimmy-jacking around did not help Belt, and if that means his development is tarnished, then, using your logic, we might as well play Mark Carreon at 1B and Dave Roberts in LF rather than give him ABs. And if Sanchez hits .600 in Fresno, he deserves a call-up as he has almost certainly shown he helps the team more than Stewart.

Sadly, that’s not how prospect development works. Devin Mesoraco is one of the top catching prospects in the sport, and didn’t get a call-up until September 2011. Why? Because the organization was giving him time to develop. Giving Sanchez a mid-year call-up because he is hitting would be no less damaging to Sanchez as it was to Belt last year.
And no, I didn’t say of the sort about Belt. I said that IF Belt suffered from his handling – which is, in fact, still way too early to tell – then that was not substantively different from Belt’s development being “tarnished.” It’s not even remotely the same thing as what you are accusing me of.
And finally, if the Giants are depending on their backup catcher to make the playoffs, then they probably should be punting the season anyway. The difference between Stewart and Sanchez over 150 PAs is probably half a win.
If you don’t want your prospects to have a “tarnished” development, don’t call them up in a playoff race.

Having Hembree at #2 verges on being objectively wrong. He may be a safer bet than Panik or Joseph or any of the others, but he still has significant hurdles to overcome in order to become an elite reliever — and elite relievers still aren’t all that valuable.

Among relievers, only elite closers (like 2009/2010 Wilson) are more valuable than league average position players.

Another left-handed hitter whose team would probably love to dump his contract is Aubrey Huff, who regressed significantly in 2011 after his big 2010 for the Giants. He’s owed $10 million for this year; San Francisco has a $10 million option ($2 million buyout) for 2013.
So the Giants could pay $12 million or $33 million. That probably makes this, as Grant Brisbee told me, “a pipe dream.”

Pill is lowest on the totem pole. He’s on the team to PH and hit right-handed.
Whoever doesn’t hit of Pagan, Melky, Nate, Huff, and Belt will probably lose significant playing time.
If people complain that Huff is producing, I will be firmly convinced that this board has lost its collective mind.
"I see these guys walking around with rings on, and I want one. That's what it's all about." -Ryan Vogelsong
Pill and Belt both have options left, so if Huff is hitting and Mleky/Pagan/Nate are all playing well you have to believe that either Pill or Belt will spend a lot of time in Fresno this season. With so many LHH on the team, and Belt having the brighter future, my guess would be that he’s would be the odd man out. That would mean that Blanco or Graham or somebody similar would make the team as a backup OF.
"There ain’t much to being a ballplayer, if you’re a ballplayer." - Honus Wagner
does Pill really have options left? I thought he is like Whiteside last year, been in organized baseball for over 5 years and therefore no options once called up

I don’t see the the Giants as wanting to “protect” Belt and giving him PAs by sending him to Fresno. I see them as expecting him to be the opening day starter at first base in 2013, and therefore needing more major league experience. I would sooner expect to see Huff and Belt splitting time, with the other coming off the bench to PH and taking spot starts in LF.

Unlike Pagan, Melky, and Huff, Belt will be on the team next year. As such, the Giants actually have a vested interest in Belt’s improving as a player.
"I see these guys walking around with rings on, and I want one. That's what it's all about." -Ryan Vogelsong
Well I guess Melky and Pagan could be good soldiers and not concern themselves with their impending free-agency. That would run counter to their own best interests with regards to their financial futures. I mean, you could disregard what happened with Rowand and Tejada last season. You’d have to ask why Molina was removed from the team instead of being kept as a back-up to Posey. Lincecum even came out and said he wanted Molina to stay his primary receiver.

I’d sooner not lean on blind speculation about how players will behave.
And in the case of Rowand and Tejada, Rowand a bench player for the better part of two years for being cut… something I have pointed out several times before. He was also not an impending free agent.
So I don’t really see much evidence to suggest that Bochy is influenced by players bitching that they’re not getting enough starts. I don’t find player attitude to be a reliable or relevant means to predict how much players will or won’t play. The correlation between quality of play and playing time is far more predictable and useful.
"I see these guys walking around with rings on, and I want one. That's what it's all about." -Ryan Vogelsong
I never said a players poor attitude or bitching would get them more playing time. Something like that would get them demoted to Fresno or thrown off the team.
Did you ever consider the possibility that the Giants try to do what’s best for a player? I’m sure Sabean would try to work out a trade, or if he couldn’t, release a player who isn’t satisfied with their role on the team.
Aubrey Huff: "My body is ripped."

You incited Rowand as a key example, who’s whole schtick turned out to be that he bitched about playing time.
The Giants could try to trade those players, but unlike, say, the Astros trading Oswalt, or the Blue Jays trading Halladay, the Giants are in position to compete. And if Melky and Pagan aren’t hitting, they’re not especially tradable anyway.
To be honest, I’m not really sure what your point is. They have to play every day because they’re going to be free agents, even if they suck and other players are playing better, and the organization is invested in those players’ happiness even though they are not going to be under contract next year. Meanwhile, Brandon Belt, who is expected to be an everyday starter as soon as next year, needs to ride the bench because he is under team control for five more years.
And even though they will DEFINITELY play, if they DIDN’T play they’d be cut or traded in short order, even if it meant getting zero value for the remainder of their contract because they are released and the Giants have poor minor league depth.
"I see these guys walking around with rings on, and I want one. That's what it's all about." -Ryan Vogelsong
.
And if Melky and Pagan aren’t hitting, they’re not especially tradable anyway.
Well Sabean was able to trade Molina. He failed with Tejada and Rowand, so they were released.
They have to play every day because they’re going to be free agents
No, but they won’t be happy with their situation on the team. Sabean will probably need to find a trade or release them.
even if they suck and other players are playing better
If other some other player forces the issue and consistently plays better, they get most of the playing time.
and the organization is invested in those players’ happiness even though they are not going to be under contract next year.
Bochy likes to keep his players happy, especially the veterans. It makes his and Sabeans job that much easier. I can’t see why they wouldn’t just trade or release an unhappy, unproductive player who’ll become a free-agent after the season anyways.
getting zero value for the remainder of their contract because they are released and the Giants have poor minor league depth.
If a player is being a bad soldier by complaining and being uncooperative because of a lack of playing time, the Giants have no choice but to rid themselves of them. Molina and Rowand were released even though their replacements weren’t as good.
I’m sure Melky and Pagan have an understanding with the Giants that they’ll be everyday players. If that changes at some point during the season, the relationship between the Giants and them will most likely also change.

My guess is Belt would be at first, Huff in left. Belt takes days off against tough lefties with Posey at first for those days.

Losing him chances to learn to hit against lefties. Joyous.
We’ve created a platoon artist out of a surely everyday guy :(
If Belt hits well, he’ll be in the lineup no matter what. He’ll just play in the outfield when Posey plays 1st.

Except
I think Sandoval will actually sign with the Yankees. That will be just about the time that A-Rod can only realistically DH, so if Panda hasn’t eaten himself off third base by then, he’d be the obvious solution.
That’s way way too far off in the future to say.

They could potentially buy Ryan Zimmerman in the meantime and then my theory is moot. But my thought process was that the Red Sox top prospect is a third baseman, so unless he bombs they won’t be in the market. And I suspect the Nats probably have the money to keep Zimmerman.

I think 1 would be the worst, though that’s partially because it’s hard to conceptualize 3 or 4 really happening. I mean, you can write things like “Pablo Sandoval murders puppies” and make it an option in a poll, but my eyes are kind of just going to glaze over it… just can’t take it seriously.
By this I mean that if Buster and Pablo are healthy and in shape, they’re both going to be Giants for a LOOOONG time, I think.

The real problem will be the 7th book. The HBO book will put serious, unhealthy pressure on GRRM at this point the book will either suck or the tv show goes on hiatus until it’s done.
Of course, no guarantee that it makes it to a 6th season or if things like book 3 gets split into 2 seasons.

Sheehan. And he has Ron Washington at #9. I’m not saying that Boch is a top 5 manager, and he might not even be top 10, but he made Ron Washington look like a fool in the 2010 WS and the 2011 ASG. Anybody that rates Washington in the top 20 of managers is just an imbecile in my book.
"There ain’t much to being a ballplayer, if you’re a ballplayer." - Honus Wagner
They had a caveat of saying he is not a good game manager but is the best motivator and clubhouse manager in the game. He gets the guys he has to play at their peak or some such thing.
How many more World Series does Washington have to lose before they fire him? 1? 2?

Well, his blog is rather distinct from his game stories. His blog is often just stuff that didn’t make it into the official print versions, so I would assume it’s pretty likely, but he’ll also be doing television and web video coverage as well like other CSN “Insiders”: Kurz, Maiocco, etc.
Whether that interferes with his ability to do the blog, I have no idea.

Alfonso Soriano for Zito and Huff. Soriano has 54 mil left over three years, and zito/huff have 58 mil left over 3 years. the cubs would save money in the short term has huff only has one year left with a buyout. They could play huff at 1b and LF next year. Zito has makes about the same amount as Soriano for the next 2 years, but the 7 mil buyout in the third year is half of what Soriano would be making. The giants need offense, and as OBP afraid as Soriano is I think his 25 hrs would help this team out (dingerz!). So I know this will never happen but just a thought. Also the giants would then use the savings for 2012 to sign Roy Oswalt.

add long distance to that
and I’m surprised you guys are still rolling. I tried Long distance (San Diego) and that didn’t even work. Really it comes down to the small things in life. For instance, I like Chinese food and she liked other men.
There is enough thrill in marriage that living together definitely reduces the stress. You guys seem to be communicating well so I think if you keep that up you are going to be fine. That’s usually the best way to tell if it’s going to work, rational thought and communication. And my penis.

So far, 2012 is better than 2011. That would definitely be better than what it is now, and you are definitely correct where that’s a day drive, maybe less, like 5 hours. But i’m holding out hope she finds a job somewhere close to Chicago, or if she stays in Ohio, i find an internship or something to hold me over until grad school
Proud adoptive father of the fastest guy in the Giants system, Jarrett Parker

It’s tough that you won’t be together, but you will be geographically closer (assuming Ohio-Chicago) Her first year of teaching is going to be highly stressful, you might not want to be trying to live together while she’s going through that anyway. And hopefully you will be busy with a new job or school experience of your own.
Living together for the first time is stressful, working your first job, or getting the hang of grad school can also be stressful so it might not be a horrible thing to be living apart for that.
Adopted Giant: Eddie I Have It Grant.
TSFGWTWS DESPITE Botchy, not BECAUSE of him.
Yep, that’s true. Hopefully, and i’m crossing my fingers on this one, that that definitely happens. That’s what i’m at least hoping for. Right now, all i know is, she’s still in her second semester of her senior year, student teaching, really has no time to talk at all, always busy. We’d definitely be ok without living together for 1 year, but more than that would be a little challenging.
Your second point, yea… i almost think that’s the case for everything, first year of college/job/grad school/everything, it’s an adjustment and that’s exactly what would happen if we did live together, it’d be an adjustment, and i don’t want to all the sudden get married at the same time before any of it, or at the start

and I would imagine it would be tough if your first year together is full of
“ooooh honey, it’s such a nice fall day let’s go apple picking”
while she would LOVE to go apple picking she’ll be thinking
“He knows I’m right in the middle of parent teacher conferences and report cards!! Apple Picking!?!”
There’s a rhythm to the school year that you’ll probably both have to figure out.

only thing that sucks about Moraga
is everything is against growth. They want their quiet community and low traffic. It’s a glorious place to raise kids and be in a safe kinda naturey town. However it’s a big damper on the team at this point in time, and if they built a better gym there are still only 2 ways into Moraga. I think they have to get better freeway access to make it happen.

and Moraga does that so well
crime is almost nil. They have a few businesses that support the locals and the students. They have a couple nice things like the golf course and trails. It’s great for that. Any building proposal by SMC to make a new stadium would be shot down unless SMC gave tons of cash to infrastructure and police and fire. It just won’t happen. It’s a small community and it will stay that way because that’s how the residents like it. Nothing wrong with that!

Henry Schulman:
Inactivity took a toll on (Brian)Wilson, who was not his wisecracking self over the final six weeks of the season. An athlete who became a media darling after the 2010 World Series shied away from interviews, quietly spending his days working out and playing dominoes in the clubhouse.
“It was more of a mental disappointment that I was told I can’t be on the mound,” Wilson said last week. “Could I have pitched? Yes, but they took the necessary precautions based on that I’m an employee, I’m an investment, and they’d like me to pitch this year and next year, not just last year.”
Wilson also was sentenced to six weeks of hard time on a sofa after the season.
“Not my decision,” he said. “Team’s decision and the doctor’s decision to heal up and start a detailed rehab program. I’ve been doing that since November, three times a week.”
Wilson directly blamed his injury, and those of teammates’, on the short offseason after the World Series, noting that few players are accustomed to pitching until November and returning in February at 100 percent.

forget that the offense is going to suck this year, hopefully not....nice piece
you are right though, Belt will get SaBocheyed….
but we should play our youngsters from the start to garner some trade interest around the league…
maybe this is the year we make a big splash for a bat….but who
Trade Sabean/jk...NO-BODY!!!...
I seldom so strongly disagree with Grant but . . .
#1: I have ZERO interest in watching AJ Burnett pitch for SF. Have you seen his outings the past few years? Probably as bad as Zito’s without (the few) decent Zito outings. Don’t want AJ. Period.
#2: I believe that BOTH Huff and Belt will start and get at bats. Bigger question is whether Huff starts at 1B & Belt in LF (the “better” defensive combo) or if it’s reversed with Belt at 1B (where he’s excellent & more comfortable) and Huff in LF (making comparison to Cubs Soriano: a constant adventure).
#3: Huff’s upside (offensively) is, I believe, greater than Burnett’s.
We can have our cake and eat it too, as long as you think of every fifth day as a 3-5 inning sweet; after that, it becomes nauseating, over-priced Little Debbies.
Don't believe everything you think.
