Tampa Bay Rays News and Rumors for December 7th: Interest in Kevin Gregg, Update on Milton Bradley Swap, The Mets Interest in Pat Burrell, and More

New/General Rumors

Up first, a Tweet from Yahoo! Sports writer Tim Brown:

Early market for Kevin Gregg: Rays, Nats, Tigers, Rockies...

Gregg was eligible for Type-A compensation but the Cubs chose against offering him arbitration due to a poor season. His career FIP is 4.00 and last year it was 4.93. Wanna know the secret behind that horrible year? It has to do with the fact that 15% of his fly balls went over the fence, his previous career high was 11.6% and his career percentage even now is 8.5%. That's what we call a prime candidate for regression towards the mean. Ignore the home runs (i.e. use xFIP) and Gregg had one of the best seasons of his career when it came to strikeouts and walks. He misses bats and should be a bit undervalued, I suppose it really comes down to asking price.

More after the jump, including the latest on Pat Burrell and Matt Lindstrom.

Star-divide

Pat Burrell/Milton Bradley

Next, we have a Tweet from the New York Post's Joel Sherman

#Rays growing less hopeful of swapping Burrell to #Cubs

Could be posturing, could be serious. Who knows. Lots of disinformation and bluffing will occur during these next few days. Keep that in mind. Same with this Tweet, also from Sherman:

If Burrell goes to #Cubs for MBradley, #Mets consider Castillo-for-Burrell, but r hesitant because of defense/makeup issues with Burrell

And finally -- for now -- there is a report out there that Burrell has been dealt to the Cubs, who then dealt him to the Mets. I'm not linking to it because A) It doesn't pass the smell test, and B) I think Sherman, Rosenthal, Olney, whomever would have more information by now, like, say, the other players names. We'll see.

[Note by R.J. Anderson, 12/07/09 12:37 PM EST ]An update on this comes from the aforementioned Tim Brown:

Rays source on Burrell to Mets: "News to us."

So there's that.

And here's this, from David Lennon of NewsDay:

lenno212

Oh, and forget Burrell to #Mets - period. Source just said team not interested in him. Not in 3-way, not in any way.

 

 

Matt Lindstrom

A Tweet from Buster Olney regarding Matt Lindstrom:

Rangers perhaps the most serious among teams in discussion for Matt Lindstrom. Two teams have fallen out of running, two other teams in.

And a Tweet from Frankie Piliere, formerly of the Rangers organization as a scout:

Rangers look like front runner for Lindstrom from what I've heard. Hard to find solid info on Lindstrom rumors but I think Tex is leading

This from the Miami Herald:

 Lindstrom trade rumors are swirling, but I'm told that the Rangers' interest in the hard-throwing reliever is not as strong as some reports have led to believe. And the Rays' interest in Lindstrom is mild at best.

More coming throughout the day.

Pat Burrell has been traded for 5% of the future zionist colony on the moon

If you haven’t already, you should buy your own plot on the moon, since that is where people will live in the future and it’s the best investment you can make for your grandchildren.

Am I the only one who really, REALLY doesn't want Bradley on this team, only from a personality standpoint?

We’ve managed to get through 12 years as a franchise without any huge, distracting scandals or loud-mouth, egotistical players, and I smell the first one if we invite MB in.

You're not the only, but I don't share your opinion

I’m more concerned about his penchant to get hurt in unpredictable ways and miss large chunks of games. Staying off the grass (the kind in the outfield) should help him play more games. R.J. actually quelled my concern to see what 450ish PA’s at his level of play would look like compared to someone at Burrell’s level of play over 600ish PA’s HERE

by Suttree on Dec 7, 2009 12:38 PM EST up reply actions  

You know I was being sarcastic , but honestly, the difference between Burrell's attitude and Milton's is 100% perception.

Not alot of people making a big deal out of Pat and Carl fighting last year, but it’d be all over ESPN if Bradley was involved.

by Suttree on Dec 7, 2009 12:40 PM EST up reply actions  

the difference between Burrell's attitude and Milton's is 100% perception.

What? Bradley has been an asshat 90% of his MLB career. Burrell has been known to party and called aloof, but he is loved by his teammates. The two are nowhere near the same as far as mentality.

by rglass44 on Dec 7, 2009 1:05 PM EST up reply actions  

Burrell has had some conflicts with managers.

In the minors especially. I don’t think “aloof” covers “challenging your manager’s authority on team rules”, but maybe it does.

by R.J. Anderson on Dec 7, 2009 1:07 PM EST up reply actions  

OK

He never smashed a bottle at a fan, got injured trying to fight an umpire, tried to bang down the door of an announcer, etc. Aloof/cocky/etc. are vastly different than psycho with anger issues. I like MB and want him b/c he’s a better hitter at this point, but to lump the two together for their shenanigans is a bit over the top.

by rglass44 on Dec 7, 2009 1:10 PM EST up reply actions  

So.

He’s still batshit crazy. Burrell isn’t batshit crazy.

by rglass44 on Dec 7, 2009 1:26 PM EST up reply actions  

Never said I did.

I just said there’s a big difference between the two’s attitudes that isn’t attributable solely to perception.

Gregg would be a nice move

Give him the Rays defense to work with and get him out of the homer-friendly confines of Wrigley and watch Gregg put up solid numbers. Would not be a flashy move, but looking at the numbers, it may be the right move.

I do want to show this:

This:

And this:

A 1.72 HR/FB can mean 2 things, either you were incredibly unlucky or you don’t belong in the Majors. I’d love to see what he can do out of the pen where a regression of that rate would be logical.

by Andy Hellicksonstine on Dec 7, 2009 12:32 PM EST up reply actions  

He's on the way is the point

Why trade for a young, good arm that would, presumably be around for awhile, but would cost something, when perhaps the stretch run this year or next year at the latest we would have a viable internal option. That sentence is poor.

I'm a writer.

by Andy Hellicksonstine on Dec 7, 2009 12:33 PM EST up reply actions  

Eh

Talbot is coming off injury and a mediocre year, and has no options left.

McGee is coming off injury and didn’t look too great at the end of last year.

Sonnanstine is also coming off a bad year and loses most of his value if he’s converted to relief.

I don't know everyones top target is

but I am thinking with the Mariners going bat shit (Signing Figgins, trying to lock up Felix, going after Bay, Lackey and Harden), I think we have a chance to buy low on Brandon Morrow

Give me a CC long term deal, please!

by joeybw on Dec 7, 2009 12:34 PM EST reply actions  

Clearly you watch baseball, but don't understand it.

The Figgins signing is a real coup. Locking up Felix is a no-brainer. With F-Gut in CF they can cover some of Bay’s defensive deficiencies. Lackey is a stud that would be the best #2 in MLB and Harden is a great low-risk/high-reward signing. None of these things are “bat shit.” They have consistently had a $100M+ payroll, they are a small-market team from a philosophical standpoint, not from a financial one.

I'm a writer.

sorta mis understood me

I am saying they are going batshit spending money. I know all of the players are studs.

The term "bat shit" is usually reserved for cases of insanity

These are sane, rational moves and it should be understood that they won’t go to the wire with all of them. They are most likely looking at getting one of Bay and Lackey/Harden.

Keith Law on Lindstrom’s positives: he throw really fast…and that’s about it:

“Lindstrom throws really hard, and he — throws … really hard. He doesn’t miss many bats and suffered strains to both his right elbow and rotator cuff in 2009. And he’s eligible for arbitration. Sign me up!”

I can not wait for these two and the crazy shannanagins they could get into. “Hey BJ bet you can’t get thrown out at first on a sure thing double”. I actually think MB will be good for the rays maybe not good for BJ but JO MA and Milton could work out.
