OTTOTD 11/3: The Swing Low, Sweet Chariot Edition

PrintYou know, Sicilians, are great liars. The best, in the world. I’m Sicilian. My father was the world heavyweight champion of Sicilian liars. From growing up with him, I learned the pantomime. There are seventeen different things a guy can do when he lies, to give himself away. A guy’s got seventeen pantomimes. A woman’s got twenty, guy’s got seventeen. But, if you know them, like you know your own face, they’d be lie detectors all to hell. Now, what we got here, is a little game of show-and-tell: You don’t wanna’ show me nothing, but you’re telling me everything. I know you know where they are. So. Tell me. Before I do some damage, that you won’t walk away from.

Ya, it was a link to an article about DeBartolo's comments. I'll admit, it wasn't ground breaking stuff, but I thought it was at least worthy of a little fanpost. :)
I’m not worried about it though, just thought it was funny.
The women of St. Pete are also stunned that the man they call Suttree didn't match his boast.

Since no one directly talked about the deal I looked at yesterday, where do you guys fall on a
Craw & Zaun for Matt Thornton & A. J. Pierzynski & John Ely + $2-3M in cash and maybe another throw-in?
I think that package is better than two draft picks and helps us fill our 2 biggest holes now (at an affordable price).

2 years of a great, cheap reliever, 1 year of a catcher upgrade that allows us to keep our troubled Mexican, and
a future back-end starter that has tremendous makeup, a plus-plus change, and could someday fit in as an elite reliever.

We're not going to get Brett Wallace for him or Jason Heyward or Mike Stanton
or any top-notch, can’t miss prospect. If we were, a deal already would have been struck. Instead of getting on the cusp talent, I would then look to upgrade now where we can. These guys make less than Carl combined, so we would still have a few mil to go out and get a Mike Gonzalez/Rafi Soriano type guy.

I couldn't remember which one was the righty
With JP, Thornton, and a great righty we can play matchups, but not be completely dependent on them. The problem with all these pieces fitting together perfectly is that you end up with guys pitching when it is not their specialty i.e Wheeler to fly-ball hitters or Shouse to righties. You can only mask weaknesses so well.

I don't know about Saito he's 39, I mean check this out
Not really a ton of innings for either of these guys, but Saito has been trending down in his K’s for 3 years now, while experiencing a slight uptick in bb’s and a big jump in homers this year. Soriano is all over, and probably not a lock for another very good year. The point is to get a righty that can dance in high-leverage and have a reasonable assurance of his health. I’m not sold on the Calero’s of the world and think even Mitch Talbot or Balfour could be that righty at a much lower cost.

I'm not sure how you aren't sold on Calero/Benoit.

I just hate injury cases because it's so much boom or bust
I know that we have to sort through a pile and would love to get both and every other guy possible to come to camp on a minor league deal to see who sticks. Balfour is an example that has played out well for us for two years. Izzy is the opposite end of the spectrum, he looked good for 9 innings, never to be heard from again.

It's still money that has to be paid when you could get someone that has
a higher probability of a) making it through a season and b) performing at a high level. Relievers are volatile, yes, but there it is still a function of probabilities and there are plenty of “good bets” out there.

by Andy Hellicksonstine on Nov 3, 2009 11:10 AM EST up reply actions
For practically nothing, sure
Over the last three years, of relievers with 100 IP, he is 51st in WPA/LI at 1.80. Dan Wheeler has a 1.75. If you could get him for a third of the cost I would love it, but if he wants 2M, and there’s no reason he shouldn’t demand it, then I don’t see him as a huge upgrade. LINk
PS Matt Thornton is 9th on that list

Navi has talent, he just needs to be in better shape.
When he has hit well it’s because his body isn’t dog-tired from catching every game, because he’s in better shape. I wish he would just work out harder and run more in the off-season, because he isn’t as bad as his 2009. He’s still young and relatively cheap. We would only need him for 1-2 more seasons until Luke is ready to ass-kick for a living.

It saddens me that I found a B.J. Upton comparison for the Bulls
and he will probably be gone after this year. :(
Well in theory he should be but in the organizations eyes Captain Kirk is Evan.
But B.J. Upton basically = Tyrus Thomas. People think he is stupid and lazy. He is super athletic and is improving but haters wanna hate.
He gets screwed over because he needs to be out in the game to get used to game experiences.
Whoever gets him after this year will have a solid player who is improving.

Am I the only one who thinks the ultra realistic CGI shit that Zemeckis keeps doing (Polar Express, Beowulf, A Christmas Carol) is totally unappealing?
If you’re going to draw/render something to look exactly like the voice actor, who also happens to be an incredibly famous movie star, why not just shoot the fucking thing live action. I’d pay $12 to watch Jim Carrey play Ebenezer Scrooge, not him voice a kinda sorta pretty good yet spookily overpolished likeness.
