Tampa Bay Rays Acquire Gregg Zaun
by R.J. Anderson on Aug 7, 2009 2:54 PM EDT
Email
PrintPer the Rob Long Show, the Rays have acquired Gregg Zaun.
Let me speak for everyone when I say
YESSSSSSSSSSSS
I've wanted Zaun for a very long time now and he's exactly what this team needs. He can back-up, he can start, he's an easy upgrade over any catcher we have and he's cheap for next year.
We'll see what the price is, but wow, gold star for Mr. Friedman and crew.
---
Serious analysis time.
Zaun is a switch-hitter due 2 million next year. His wOBA this season is .331, ZiPS foresees some regression (buzzword!) and has him at .321 the rest of the way. That's fine, Navarro is projected at .292 and over 100 plate appearances Zaun would be worth about 2.5 runs more. Raise that to 200 and it's a half a win. He's always been talked about as a solid defender and he rates well by every attempt at quantifying catcher defense out there.
He's perfect and he's all ours.

Great call R.J.
This has been a long time coming.
You deserve to post this thread. This is your baby
Who goes Hernandez or Dillion?
My guess:
Michel —> Durham

Dumb question
options left?
On a side note, is there a website that has good definitions or explanations on things like Super 2’s Options, Service time etc?
www.bucem.com - SBNation's source for all things Buccaneer
Just a guess, but I think he still has one
2004, 05, and 06 he played in the minors and majors, but in 04 I’m guessing it was a cup of coffee that wouldn’t count against him. 05 he came up in July until the end of the season and 06 he was up from the start. I would have to guess he has 1 possibly 2 options left.

Not to give R.J. too much of a mouth hug here

Indeed. I also think now that Friedman probably would have taken Lee's price without moving players.
I think Shapiro’s problem is he wanted player quantity over quality and the Rays weren’t about to give up 3 AAA pitchers.
I can't wait until we trade him for a reliever.
I still remember when Zaun hit that walk-off grandslam off us last year
I wanted to strangle Percival.
Hello.
I Don't Get It?
What is all the excitement about a 38 yr old catcher who can’t hit .250, and throws runners out at a lower percentage than Navi?
Caught stealing % has too many outside variables to be viable as a statistic
And his offense still charts out better then the other two guys on staff.
I can't wait until we trade him for a reliever.
He's going to be slightly above average offensively and good defensively.
Solid player. Much better than either of our current options.
WIN.
So long, Sweet Lime!
Someone claimed Rios, Jays should let that contrct go now
and yes! Zaun the Ray killer is a Ray

He’s 38 yrs old.
Not going to get many games out of him next season.
He has an option
We’re not on the hook for the whole amount
I can't help that I make some things look easier than they really are.
He won't be with us next year.
We have Riggans and Jaso to cover us for next season. I’m not worried about Zaun right now playing for us in 2010, we need him now

I wouldn't count on Riggans or Jaso..
There will be another catcher on this team next year, whether it’s Zaun or someone new.
I would hope it's someone else new. Zaun as a even season-long solution does not sound good at all.
I can't wait until we trade him for a reliever.
I seriously question Riggans
He’s been a gigantic injury for over a year. He’s been in what 2 games at the ML level in a year

No he isn't. He's a catcher. Catcher's aren't fast.

Does he have good plate discipline? I mean is the “swinging at everything” phase over for our C?
1. James Shields 2. Scott Kazmir 3. Matt Garza 4. David Price 5. Jeff Niemann
Just a little perspective
Zaun is a definite upgrade over the 2009 catching situations, but he’s not the savior nor a real option for 2010. He is what he is, a decent .700 ops hitter with a rep for good defense. Again much better than what we’ve had so far, but he alone doesn’t put us in the playoffs

I like the .9 K/BB, the .730 OPS with a .276 babip, switch hitter,
hits the FB, SL, CT well above average, but struggles with the CB, CH, SF.
He only swings at about 41% of pitches, while making contact 92% of the time when it’s in the zone.
He swings out of the zone about 16% of the time, Navi is at 28%, and Michel at 33%

He's a very nice addition
but we didn’t get Johnny Bench Jr. here
Compared to the steaming turd pile we've had he sure looks like him
I can't help that I make some things look easier than they really are.
Pretty good
Mostly looks to walk against lefties, but he does have decent power against righties. Navi hasn’t looked as bad against lefties so hopefully a platoon will shape up nicely.
I can't help that I make some things look easier than they really are.
From the heater
Friedman is in our heads
The Rays expect a benefit at and behind the plate. "Kind of a combination,‘’ Friedman said. "He has a lot of experience behind the plate and is very good at handling a staff and on the offensive side works really good at-bats and has had success against right-handed pitching so it will give Joe another option to consider.’’
He also noted that Zaun has a lot of experience in the AL East, and has been "a Ray-killer the last couple years.’’
Also, with the trade, Zaun’s 2010 option becomes mutual rather than just a team option.
As of 4:05 PM, he was “scrambling” to get to Seattle
1. James Shields 2. Scott Kazmir 3. Matt Garza 4. David Price 5. Jeff Niemann
"I didn’t expect to get traded. I figured once the deadline came and went, I was going to be with the Orioles, which was fine for me because I was enjoying my job, what we signed up to do, which was play a couple times a week and be there for Wiety (Matt Wieters) when he had questions, and hopefully try to show him the way a little bit. But I’m going to Tampa, and I have a home there, so it’ll be easier for me to move right back into my house and play for a contender. It’s definitely going to be a shot of tonic, that’s for sure. I’m just excited that I’m going to be on a team that’s playing meaningful games in August and September. And it makes it even better that I get to go live in my house."

1. James Shields 2. Scott Kazmir 3. Matt Garza 4. David Price 5. Jeff Niemann
Can we just make him our full-time catcher?
That would really be nice.
Here's a great Gregg Zaun story for you. I think of this every time I see him play.
Ten years ago, in July 1999, my dad and three of his buddies went to Cooperstown to see the ceremony that inducted Nolan Ryan, Robin Yount, and George Brett into the Hall of Fame. The Royals and Rangers played the Hall of Fame exhibition game that year, and Gregg Zaun was the Texas right-fielder.
So there was a really rowdy, boisterous group in the the right field bleachers. They came up with really obnoxious but funny and clever chants, and Zaun would laugh and gesture back to them as he stood in right field. So the right field bleacher bums adopted Zaun as their favorite player.
When Zaun stepped up to bat, the right field crowd roared and started chanting “CALL YOUR SHOT! CALL YOUR SHOT! CALL YOUR SHOT!” So Zaun paused for a moment, stepped out, looked towards right field, and pointed his bat to straightaway right field. And the whole crowd cheered now. The very next pitch, the KC pitcher threw a meatball and <a href=“http:// ”http://www.martinrivas.net/twistedacres/hofgameheroes.html" target="_blank">http://www.martinrivas.net/twistedacres/hofgameheroes.html" target="new">Zaun belted a home run deep to straightaway right. It flew exactly where he’d pointed to, and the ball sailed completely over the right field bleachers. Pandemonium ensued. My dad said it sounded like the Kingdome in the playoffs in 1995. On that day, Zaun became one of the greatest legends of Cooperstown (or its exhibitions, anyways).
I hope the Indians sign him
It will amuse me
1. James Shields 2. Scott Kazmir 3. Matt Garza 4. David Price 5. Jeff Niemann
Sorta OT: Michel is so gone

1. James Shields 2. Scott Kazmir 3. Matt Garza 4. David Price 5. Jeff Niemann
Hope it's not the end of Hernandez
He has done well this year, good backup, but Navi is younger, so..the writing is on the wall. Hopefully Hernandez stays, does Navi have options available? They won’t cut Navi without using him as a trade value if they get rid of him at all. Someone will claim Hernandez, a 31 year old rookie, making minimum who has done a good job backing up. He’s a bargain backup catcher. Maybe Zaun brings leadership and knowledge of the AL East like AFriedman said. Guess after the game we’ll all know

Navi has options but I think Michel will be DFA'd

And there is always the money issue, fat ass is making over 2 mil this year, doubt to play in AAA, although, we did demote Nelson…..
1. James Shields 2. Scott Kazmir 3. Matt Garza 4. David Price 5. Jeff Niemann
How many catchers does that make for us?
Like eight catchers?
Vroom vroom party starter
www.raysprospects.com
Too many and none of them are exactly Joe Mauer
Gregg Zaun
Dioner Navarro
Michel Hernendez
Shawn Riggans
John Jaso
Jose Lobaton
and that’s just who has played in the big leagues, I wish we could combine Riggans power, Jaso’s eye, Lobaton defense and Zaun’s game calling. I think I was just rude to Navi and Michel
1. James Shields 2. Scott Kazmir 3. Matt Garza 4. David Price 5. Jeff Niemann
There can be only one
Joe Mauer
I can't help that I make some things look easier than they really are.
you know, its amazing
It will be another roster move that Dillon survives and September is close, he is gonna wind up spending almost the whole season up here
1. James Shields 2. Scott Kazmir 3. Matt Garza 4. David Price 5. Jeff Niemann
So right now we're essentially dealing with a 41-man roster?
Or did we have an open 40-man spot(added Zaun and Swindle, subtracted Meloan)?
Vroom vroom party starter
www.raysprospects.com
I am not sure if Swindle is on the 40 man
Anyone know?
1. James Shields 2. Scott Kazmir 3. Matt Garza 4. David Price 5. Jeff Niemann
I think so because the Meloan move was for him.
depending on it works, I could see us DFA Lobaton today to put Zaun on the 40 man and than Michel tomorrow to put him on the 25 man. If that is even possible.
He's already there
We’re gonna have to do some roster trimming when Perez/Iwamura get activated
