I'd say it's fair
Cotchman is decent offensively and is under team control until 2012. The pitcher they gave up is decent at best, and they’re going to get 2 picks if they don’t resign Teix which makes it a pretty good deal if they let him go. The Angels have the ability to sign him though, so to me it looks like they gave all of that up to get early negotating rights, and in that instance, it’s an average deal.

Maddon said Baldelli wouldn’t need to move up first to Triple-A Durham. “He would come here whenever that moment is” and get readjusted to major-league pitching, Maddon said.

You know what the worst part of this statement is?
I remember a certain someone declaring openly and outright that Baldelli would be up in the Bigs before Price, and how everyone and their mother told him that he was wrong, and an idiot.
And now he’s also going to be something else: right.

It wasn't an outrageous statement.
I cannot believe we’re going to risk Baldelli’s sub-10 minor league LD% at the major league level. That’s amazing…

At the time the statement was made
Baldelli was in the middle of his first rehab assignment, and was not doing well at all when the statement was made.
by kericr on Jul 29, 2008 7:15 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Which is why it wasn't an outrageous statement to say Price would be up before Rocco.
Perhaps the better question is who will contribute first: Rocco or Price?
by R.J. Anderson on Jul 29, 2008 7:16 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Oh
No, I thought you were saying that it wasn’t an outrageous statement for Sternfan to say that Rocco would be up before Price.
No, I agree with you. I was with the masses. If Rocco gets promoted before Price, it is solely a PR/inspiration move.

I agree with this statement.
Carl Crawford should be able to bunt for a hit. I agree with the statistical analysis people that sac bunting is detrimental, however there is use for it in late innings, i believe.

You're mistaking saber teams are purely OBP teams

And how much of his hiring decisions are an attempt to create a new identity for himself independent of ‘Sabermetric GM’ is open to question…esp after he saw the way Depo was run out of LA
by GomesSweetGomes on Jul 29, 2008 7:46 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Riccardi’s first order of business was firing all the scouts and bringing in his own guys, with little knowledge of the game, but guys that were serious number and stat analysts. The results haven’t been pretty.

No, I'm not
WITH Law they were very much into stats, but as Law went so did the statistical dependence. I’m not sure how that’s revisionist history whatsoever.
Also check out Oakland’s defensive rank, I believe it’s first, which is what started this whole “debate”.
by R.J. Anderson on Jul 29, 2008 7:48 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I understand Sabermetrics has moved past OBP
The new market inneficiency is finding players who can’t hit, and trading your most valuable players for them.
OK, thats not fair…but neither is suggesting that Kevin Towers is a saber guy and Riccardi isn’t

The Jays philosophies. They aren’t commonly mentioned to me as a team that is dabbling in stats anymore by scouts. 6-7 teams are: ARZ, BOS, SD, PIT (somewhat), TB, OAK, and CLE.

The upside could be huge if he pans out. If you only give up a Zobrist or a Brignac for him then you have really lost or gained nothing. You make Francoeur finish out the year at AAA and re-evaluate in Spring Training. If it works you could end up with a permanent RF.

If Maddon is willing to blow a game to prove a point to Coco Crisp
Then he should be willing to blow a game by replacing positional players who fail to drive in runs when men are in scoring position with other players. This team needs a punch squarely in the balls, and they need it very soon.

He bunts better off of lefties up the third base line.
Swing away against righty pitching with him.

Ball hit a black tarp(?) behind Rios and bounced back into play..
The Jays OF thought it was out so stopped playing. Umps didn’t call anything so Hinske just kept running. Later replay showed it was out.

No way that happens
Manny will end up as a DH somewhere. I wouldnt mind having the Righty bat as our DH. But it is Manny, no way our Front office pays $20 mil for him, He will not end up with the Marlins because he can not play LF as it is. Add to that the huge field in Miami and you have a recipie for disaster if you make him the LF down there.
